Still would have preferred to keep Mexes over Zapata

(Pure Danny bait )

Wait, Mexes never signed for another club after leaving us? Very strange indeed!

I really valued him as a defender. I think if Silva had never left and we hadn't become such a parody, he could have had a decent career with us.

Yes. Milan is still his last club according to wikipedia.

CM.cm are running a poll about who should the new Milan captain be.

Around 10k votes thus far, Bonaventura is leading with 57% followed by Bonucci with 33% of the votes.

Obviously some of those pro-Bonaventura votes are by Juve fans who don't want to see Bonucci being our captain. Still, it's a fair poll I would say. I voted for Bonaventura as well.

Jack for me as well. He has been everything I expected Montolivo to be when he signed for us. Tireless, passionate, skilful and always available for the team. If he had just a little bit more charisma he'd be a shoo-in for captain.

Man, this guy won my heart the time I saw him shed tears when he signed for us.

You guys want a poll here at MF for the same question?

We'd probably amount to 10 votes max.

no biting

Interesting read regarding our top failed signings in the 1990s. Any additions?

Funny how we shipped off our failures mostly to Barcelona. It happened with Kluivert, Reiziger, Bogarde and Dugarry.

Milannews: 25k season-tickets have been sold so far.

To think Borini is in our Top 5...

Or Donna...

Donna I can understand. Borini makes no sense.

Patrick Cutrone needs a raise.

Can't agree more. He will definitely get one if he keeps performing.

Latest rumor is that Usmanov is close to buying Milan (maybe within a month). Apparently, this came from Top Calcio 24 (Telelombardia), but I could not find any confirmation.

I don't think Elliot want to sell just yet. They want to make Milan a profitable business before they do that.

And I doubt Paolo would have stayed on if there was more ownership upheaval coming our way in the near future

More rumors of a potential acquisition, this time by Qatar.

I'll believe it when I see it at this point. I can't see us being lucky enough to be bought by some sheik

Yup. Unconfirmed rumors, anyway.

Interesting article on the topic

Just found this funny and thought I'd share:

Berlusconi: "Suso is the best Milan player, he has everything to be an extraordinary trequartista. He jumps the man one, two, three times. And he has a great shot. As a winger he cannot put these talents into action. And it doesn't seem to me that his crosses have ever been collected from the strikers to score goals."

What the hell? How many times have we scored from Suso crossing from the right all these years? A LOT. Silvio really has no clue about football.

Did we though? From his crosses? Hmh, not so sure...

For anyone that understands Italian ... link. Napoli fan somewhat bitter about Sarri going to Rube.

Yup

Dude...

Yes, how many? It's not that he made a ton of assists by crosses anyway...

10 assists in 35 league games, and if memory serves right, most of them came from crosses from the right.

I really don't think so but perhaps. Anyway, not a terrific statistic at all, considering that we have aerially good strikers all the time.

You just don't like Suso, that's it.

Dida
Cafu Nesta Costacurta Maldini
Gattuso Pirlo Seedorf
Kaka
Inzaghi Shevchenko


Especially with a 35 yo seedorf and 40 yo Maldini, what a team!

Really gutted by Kobe's tragic death. A person that gave so much to sport, and also a big Milan fan. R.I.P. champion.

Me too. It's just tragic. RIP Kobe <3

Shocking news. Really sad..
