There are rumours circulating that Zlatan might need to undergo surgery, and in that case his career might be over... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)


I'm not worried with Zlatan, if his career is over, I'm sure he is ethical enough to cancel the contract. But that is sad news (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I don't get why you keep defending him. The guy's acting like a complete tw@t. He said that the ball is in our court for the renewal, meaning give me what I wanted or f*ck off. There's nothing lost in translation.



Actually, Lille are owned by Merlyn Partners SCSp.



Meh. Cristante is mediocre, even Roma fans admit it. Locatelli is insanely overrated.


Locatelli overrated? Maybe? But he js still pretty good. Have to admit we don't really need him with Kessie/Bennacer/Tonali.

Hakan has been terrible for Turkey today. Uninspired.


Hakan played? Didn't notice it.

QUOTE
Carlo Pellegatti: "The news about Zlatan Ibrahimovic is quite worrying given that there is the hypothesis of a knee operation for the cartilage problem. This would be a very serious problem for Milan, not only on the pitch, but also as regards the transfer market strategies, which would have to be totally changed. It is one thing to have Olivier Giroud with Ibra, and one thing is to have only Giroud, which i think will come to Milan in the end. Relying only on the French would be difficult and unpredictable. In that case it would be necessary to go and get another striker. The focus of the transfer market is currently the center forward. This is a complicated situation, also considering the Hakan Calhanoglu issue. The Turk hopes to play a great European to gain visibility and find a team that offers him the money he wants. The club doesn't like the fact that Calhanoglu has put them on stand-by. Stefano Pioli, on the other hand, is willing to wait for him ?.


In other words, we're royally fucked. No trequartista, no right winger, no center forward. Sixth place here we come again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Because he's still our player and as I said multiple times, I'd prefer if he renews. And that's is not what he said btw

I agree that he's being a little b!tch but sorting this out by him renewing would be what is best for us going forward

I thought Elliot were part of the Lille ownership in some way...

Agreed on both Locatelli and Cristante. My point here is that he would have been OUR overrated player worth 40m.

They didn't have a sniff of the ball, but come on as a leader you have to show something more. Italy are looking pretty good?

Still, you have to take into account that the Turkish team simply could not play out. The entire midfield was basically stifled out

Italy were great. Macini has done wonders with that team. They play beautifully and effectively as well

I'd only want him so we could sell him for big money



Anywhoo, Embolo looks great today. Would he be a possible cheap option if the Ibra problem is as big as they're saying it is?

This is why we need Hakan to renew. We're already juggling lots of problems. An added one of having to bring in an AM is not needed this summer

Anyway, I'm not that worried about the Ibra situation. If he can't continue, he'll bow out gracefully. We just need to be creative on the transfer market. There are striker options we could look at who could come on loan for the first season.


Belotti would still be my first option. He'd be ready to come in and start next season

We should go for Belotti, I agree. He's worth now, what, 25 million?

The problem is that this management acts like a bunch of cheapskates, or as Italians would say, morti di fame. I look at Chelsea spending 80M for Havertz or Atletico willing to splash 80M for Lautaro, yet we can't even spend 35M on someone like De Paul. We contemplate about spending 28M for someone essential like Tomori.

I read somewhere that our budget for this summer would be 70M. How the hell can you make a mercato with 70M? That's only one player's worth. Unless of course you want to act like Cagliari or Sampdoria and buy 3rd rate players.

I guess my question at this point is: how do we intend to build a competitive team by being so reluctant to spend?

Yeah, quite terrible and shocking. Thankfully he's all well now.

Great leadership by Kjaer by the way. Everyone's talking about it.

Kjaer showed true leadership in that moment.


Anyway, hope Erikson recovers fully. Can't believe they played that game when they did tbh.

Everyone campaigning for him to be our captain next season. And personally I can't think of a better man for the job

A true leader and a great man. Not to mention him being one of our best players since he came last year

AC Milan have eyes for Embolo

He cost Borussia 11M two years ago. Current market value is set at 16M.

I saw a few moments of him yesterday and he did look good indeed.

Watched the entire game. He looks really good. Great at holding up play, good with his feet, good vision, quick. He'd be a perfect replacement for Ibra on the cheap


Anyone watching this Netherlands game against Sheva's Ukraine? The most erratic game so far. Both sides look like they can concede bucket loads of goals against an organised side

Embolo is like Leao. Useless most of the time with some flashes of brilliance.
