AC Milan 2017/18

[Raees]

If they get Auba/Bellotti in addition to Bonucci, then that is clearly good progress.. but anyone expecting an instant return of AC to juve level will be disappointed. It is however a step in the right direction and a sign that AC are looking to fight their way and build they way towards becoming a top club once again which is great for world football not just italian football. Truly historic club which is a contender for biggest club in the world at its very best.

Hopefully in 5-6 years time, we will see this blossom into a great project.

 

[Nighteyes]

Hopefully they crash and burn. A club that has been mismanaged financially being given a handout by a billionaire owner probably with loads of dodgy sponsorship deals to follow to comply with FFP. No different to your other billionaire play toys except all those clubs get a lot of stick for doing the same thing.

Why? Seria A clearly needs more competition

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Getting Morata now. Think Belotti would have been better for them.

 

[Raoul]

Add Renato Sanches into the mix as well. They are building quite a monster.

Yeah, but you know you always take a big risk with a portuguese player. But maybe Milan are his level.

 

[Moonred]

More quantity than quality. Bonucci is great. Silva is young, a few are decent and a lot of rather average. No big club would be jealous and too many players coming together is never easy.

 

[Successful]

Montolivo - I want to puke. If I had been a Milan fan I'd devote my life to get that blood sucker out of the club.

Yes that never happens with italians

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

At least they aren't overpayed

Like what, Nelson Semedo to Kyle Walker? Or Bellotti for that matter?

Because Carlo Laudisa il gobbo said so? Come on

He won't feature much now that Berlusconi and Galliani are gone. They were pretty much forcing managers to play their pet, and made him captain on top of that.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Milan should buy Jones for 20M

Is it worse than Juventus hogging all talents from all teams and winning the league every year?

Renato Sanches and Kessie would be interesting

And why should a club suffer for a prolonged period of time, just because it's previous owner made some very poor choices? Berlusconi is gone, the club needs a respite from mid table mediocrity, and this is the most logical solution right now. Don't expect this to be the norm though. The squad absolutely needed an overhaul and that's what we're witnessing right now. Most of the players that have been bought are going to give several years of service, so I'd expect big transfers only of players who'd improve the first XI from the next window onward.

The truth is they weren't forcing anyone. Montolivo played because he was genuinely their best midfielder. And he was captain because he really was the best option they had.

That pretty much tells you why milan fans are having a colossal collective orgasm when they saw the club signing kessie and biglia

You'd be surprised by how much he's hated by the fans. It's an irrational hatred too, I get that. But most people would prefer not to see him play anymore.

 

[2ndTouch]

Renato Sanches and Kessie would be interesting

Don't see Sanches happening. Rummenigge was asked about it today, and while he confirmed Milan's inquiry he also said, that their proposal is way off what Bayern would deem acceptable.
A simple loan to Benfica for a year seems most likely atm,

I know man, sister, mother, brother and girlfriend, all milan fans. I know exactly how much milan fans hated Montolivo

How's life as the family's pariah, btw?

 

[giorno]

Dad's an inter fan

And they're the pariahs as far as i'm concerned. Betrayers, too

Also, these days i can't hear 'em, 3 CL celebrations in 4 years made me zen

 

[barros]

Not that bit. Shouldn't have used his ethnicity to bolster your point, since it's quite irrelevant.

I know Africans that are white so since when African means black? If you are American then I understand.

 

[barros]

Yeah, but you know you always take a big risk with a portuguese player. But maybe Milan are his level.

I don't get it, only if was a big money transfer but normally the Portuguese players are not bad, besides Quaresma, Simao...

Where did I mention anyone's colour? Please don't misconstrue my point. All I'm saying is ethnicity shouldn't be used to measure a player's potential.

How did you become Real fan? It's really interesting

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

What i meant is that they are not bad, just overhyped.

BS, they are fantastic. Sanches would be a steal for 50m, I swear.

 

[giorno]

Grandfather on mother's side. Also Redondo&Raul&Suker&Mijatovic

 

[SCP]

Yes, the english, the italians, brasilians, argentinians never, only portuguese.

 

[barros]

If someone said American, Asian or European would you answer the same way? African leagues are not know basically by anyone, age of some players are sometimes a gamble and the good born in Africa players play for Portugal

 

[barros]

Only Porto and Benfica players are overated but that's because Mendes.

 

[van der star]

I absolutely would, because it's a rather daft thing to say. But then again, I've noticed that it's the African born players who are scrutinized more often than any other ethnicity, so I suppose it makes sense to back them up more vigorously. There's just no point in stereotyping.

Better for them, you can't trust Ancelotti

After destroying Douglas Costa, Kimmich, Muller, now it's Sanches turn

What a terrible manager, with the same players Zidane is doing far better than him

 

[Successful]

Yeah, but you know you always take a big risk with a portuguese player. But maybe Milan are his level.

It's a huge risk with portuguese players who are creative. Imagine the attitude of Ronaldo without any talent to back it up with. I think Croatian players can also be that arrogant - real divas.

In Serie A there are plenty of creative players with huge egos without sufficient talent who get to spend their entire career spreading their JUNK around. I think it was a bad choice going there by Sanchez. Perhaps staying in Germany playing for a lesser side would have been a better choice.

Playing in a glamour city like Milan is not gonna be a great help to him as well
