On the one hand, it's technically the right call

I'm not sure i like it though

Why PL cannot make a decent YouTube channel with all the highlights etc there? Serie A and LaLiga are doing great stuff in that sense, Bundesliga also runs a fine channel, Championship clubs have their own channels where they upload goals, but Premier League is apparently too dumb to make one of its own. Why is that?

Is it true Douglas Costa is going to be sold in January? Guess he's not happy at being just a sub for the big games. Mourinho thinks Man. United want him anyway.
To buy Costa much money must be paid. Costa is not really a sub. He is more a first choice for the second half, when opponents are tired and he can use his speed at best.

It's 8 years, not 7. Huge deal nevetheless, 51 million per year and they keep their licensing and merchandising activities unlike pretty much all other top clubs.

Adidas also gave them a bonus of 15 million for this season just in good faith.

After selling Higuain for 50 million, they pretty much replaced him with Ronaldo and made a profit :lol:
We have not sold Higuain. Milan paid only a rent for one year. Then he can buy him but nobody knows if Milan has to buy him for 36 millions or not. This is a great mistery.

tonight's performance was good, we keep converting too little though and that problem must be addressed if we want to have a hope for the CL. Bentancur is becoming a great great player.
Won't talk about the refereeing, other than to say that if Roma, Napoli or Inter when playing us received a referee performance such as the one we got at home tonight they would go on and on for decades:cool:

Juventus are so strong they can afford to play in first gear in the league. Napoli are doing well to be only 8 points behind.

What's the story with croatian Messi, Alen Halilovic? He didn't get the chance to prove himself as Milan regular starter, no?
Well when somebody is named after Messi is destined to failure by definition

Atalanta-Juventus and especially Inter-Napoli tomorrow. Both should be interesting games, albeit Atalanta will be without their 2 first choice CBs. Juventus could be without CR7 though.

Juve 0-1 or 0-2 as usual.

Napoli-Inter will be a good one though. Also seems Gattuso is on verge of sack again.

Nainggolan got suspended for bad attitude and will be out for the game against Napoli, he's been a real failure for Inter in this first half of season unfortunately. There are rumours about him leaving in january already. Considering the fact that Ozil might leave Arsenal maybe a swap would be a good deal for both clubs?

No way they can afford his salary, especially with Marotta at the helm now.

Not really surprised. Great player, but a cocky fecker like Balotelli.

Yeah this is the main problem. Ozil wages are incredibly high (I read 20 millions € per season) for italian clubs at the moment (Ronaldo apart).

Who gives a feck whether he gets drunk. He was the same two years ago, didn't stop him from being the best midfielder in the league. Maicon was a drunkard, didn't stop him from being the best RB since Cafu and dominate. Radja has been injured a lot, but given his personality i expect he will rebound big time as soon as he gets fully fit

Surely drinking cannot be good for recovery...

On a few italian forums some Nainggolan's vocal messages to a friend have appeared, it says that he wants to go back to Roma and that Inter is a "casino" :lol:

If you smoke and drinks a lot every day and night for years, you cannot think that your body will stay in good health for a long time. Two years ago he was physically in good condition. Today he cannot run like before. He is fat and frequently injured. In a short time he will be no more a soccer player but only a drunkard with many problems, like many other idiots in the past. Do you remember Gascoigne?

Gattuso won't get sacked anytime soon, unless Jose in convinced to take the helm, which won't happen .
He's under achieving again but he's a decent man manager .

Who is gonna replace Gattuso at Milan? Think Mourinho want some free time now after the last stressful experience. Maybe Donadoni.

Zaniolo, Santon and 24 millions for a drunkard, as a laughing stock Inter never disappoints.

1) Well about Zaniolo you are right but tell me how many people here would have bet a penny about this guy before this operation?!? Btw hes playing on a side that is 11th in the league and about 10 points behind Inter, just to remind you.
Santon is laughable, valued 9,5m, that was a bargain for Inter.
2) A casino? Maybe he was referring to his lost at the Casino in Lugano.... shame on him and his unprofessional attitude. It will be really tough for him to bring a reputation and put a feet in San Siro from now, its not like playing in the empty Olimpico

It was a clear foul in fairness. Harsh on Frosinone but their guy pulled back the Milan player.

Looks like a weak ref. Even after watching VAR he seemed to still want to award the goal. :lol:

1) The kid was highly regarded, don't know why they gave it away so easily, it was a risk and it seems they got the short end.

2) In italians casino means "mess", in the years several players have expressed this concept about Inter, i remember some Vieri interviews where he said that to stay at Inter was like hell.

Milan are lucky both clubs from Rome are in poor form. They wouldn't even get a sniff of top 4 otherwise

Cancelo, Matuidi, Bernardeschi and Cuadrado out injured. Pjanic and Ronaldo finally rested.

There won’t be a lot of better chances to watch Juve lose a game in Serie A this season
