Kessie has sustained a muscle injury and will probably miss the first 2 games. And so it begins. Honestly, the biggest investment the management can make in this summer window is to overhaul the fitness team. Something was clearly going wrong last season and it has already started now. Keeping everyone fit would mean an extra 10 points on the board easily

Adli and Florenzi deals seem close to conclusion. I think both will be done by next week

If we get those 2 and manage to offload Conti and Samu, we'd only still need to bring in an AM imo and we'll be covered in all areas

I know a lot of people wanted a RW but it's not going to happen imo. And I personally think Pioli doesn't even want an attacking winger. He's happy to have a player like Alexis or even Florenzi in that position. Simply because he views the LW as a pseudo extra attacker so he needs the RW to provide balance.

Wrong. After the last game last season he said in the press conference that we need an attacking RW who can dribble past opponents and score goals. And newspapers claimed Berardi was his favorite. So it is not true that he prefers players like Alexis and Florenzi upfront. We just cannot afford anyone right now.

I believe there shall be a change in formation of sorts, the 4-2-3-1 could be altered to bring in both Zlatan and Giroud. Which would render either the RW or AM unnecessary, hence not sure where the priorities lie.

However I am convinced someone of (good to high) quality is to be signed

Hmm, okay didn't know that. He just seems to favour attacking on the left sisde and using the RW as more of a right midfielder...

I'd still be okay with leaving the RW for next summer, we need a proper AM more

I think that would be suicidal in the league and makes absolutely zero sense to use both Zlatan and Giroud at the same time.

Roma just bought Abraham for 40m(!!!)

How can they afford that FFS and we can't get the AM we need??

[han2503]

Also why are EPL stadiums filled to the brim with people but La Liga stadium ~30% full? Same thing will happen with Serie A games I assume. Once again, the government will f@ck their own clubs over, same as they do with the stadium situation.

The stadiums should be allowed at 100% capacity as long as everyone is vaccinated.

They're simply handicapping the clubs for no reason

And what about Serie A? There was lots of people yesterday in the match...I had the impression.

Nah, stadium wasn't even half full

Think covid has to do with how advanced vaccinations are, capacity of ICU in hospitals, etc ...

I don't think that should matter as long as the crowd is all vaccinated.

I'd rather have a 100% full san siro with 100% of the crowd being vaccinated, rather than a 30% filled stadium with only 50% of that crowd being vaccinated

Vaccinated individuals can still transmit the virus and its variants. I'm no doctor, but each country has its own health system, and I believe the UK' NHS is well prepared, while Italy and other countries tread on limited ICU capacities.

Stadiums are only allowed access to those vaccinated. But that 30% to 100% capacity has no prejiduce to football or clubs, rather the health systems in place.

It's a starting point, who knows maybe during this season the capacity will increase. As the system is able to handle another wave.

Yes, there is a small percentage that can contract covid while being fully vaccinated, but the number of those people who end up in the ICU are basically negligible. That's the point of the vaccine. Not that you will never get the disease, but that it won't kill you and imo that is good enough to allow the stadiums to be at full capacity. So long as you present your EU vaccine pass you should be able to get a ticket, if not, tough luck for you.

I get that Italy are probably a bit behind the UK on vaccinations but stadiums should be allowed to open at full capacity. People can get turned around if they don't have proof of vaccination, simple as that. Clubs cannot go another year like this, especially not in Italy

[han2503]

Florenzi deal done.

1m for the loan, 4m for the option next summer

A very good deal imo and a huge improvement on Dalot as a rotation option. Plus he can challenge Saele for that RW spot

Now let's bring in the AM we need and maybe that Adli kid and we should be fine for next season

[CrazyMilanFan]

Adli and isco would be a very decent overall market and hopefully enough to get top 4

I'm not a doctor, but I know as a fact ICU capacity is the determining factor in opening up or closing down.

All those that enter will be vaccinated. Whether that is 100% or 30%.

What Italy, Spain, US, Vietnam, Australia, UK, etc respectively decide is tied to their Healthcare system's ability to coup with another wave and/or a variant such as delta.

Again, I'm not a doctor to decide this. But this much I do know.

Yeah. True, but this is not the problem. The transmission is still happening and could catch on to non-vaccinated people outside of the football stadium. What UK are doing is highly irresponsible IMO, and almost all scientists have called against UK policies.
