We probably should move this discussion out of this thread as it's getting a bit unrelated
But yeah verrati is world class, just oozes it
Shame he spent(or maybe i should say wasted) his career over at psg as they always seemed to be in disarray in his time with them , he might have been considered one of the all time greats had he moved elsewhere.
Being linked to La Arse, be a good plan B to De Jong. Surprised we’re not in for him as scouted him a fair bit.
Not sure he's realy all that, had a decent season tbf but his debut season for milan he was poor. Has a good determination and spirit about him though
1. Thread of a random player I don't even want gets bumped
2. I get a rush of excitement and convince myself in a matter of seconds that he is the answer to all of our problems
3. Energy courses through my veins as I enter the thread, I'm bursting with expectations
4. We're not even linked with him
5. I leave thread angry and confused
6. Repeat

He's the biggest Milan fan there is, zero chance he ever leaves.
I wish people would stop bumping every transfer thread while we're so desperate for players.
It's just Tonali deaf.

Never played well when I've seen him. Always kept an eye out as he's one of those names that been floating around forever as the next big Italian midfield talent.
This./
And Maldini is working with his team on further extending/improving his deal which currently expires in 2027 I believe.

Would be a terrific buy for them but he's worth more around 70m and he loves Milan so not sure he'd leave. He's earmarked as a future captain.
Kind of wish we'd abandon the Mount pursue and kick the tires on the likes of him and Barella instead if there's any chance they'd be willing to leave.

I love Italian midfielders but trying to think off the top of my head if there has been many that have played in the Premier league and been successful?
Di Matteo was a success
Jorginho could be argued has been a success
Who am I missing?

Weren't they signing Barella for the same amount last week?
Looks like they have 50m to spend and are looking for a midfielder..
Doubt Milan accept that.. who knows.

Di Matteo?
Tonali hasn't been very good this season, I thought? He's certainly not lived up to his hype thus far.
The best ones, and Italian players in general, typically rarely ever play in England so we don't exactly have a large sample size to work with
He played a big role in them reaching the UCL Semi tbf, he was great in Europe and had a solid individual season domestically while the squad fell a level.
For the position he plays he's one of the best creative types around and is as skilled technically as an Enzo Fernandez. He created more big chances than fecking De Bruyne in the CL.
Gattuso did pretty well on loan at Rangers as a youngster I think if that counts.
I also would have loved to see Daniele De Rossi at United, I was sure that would be a success if we could have made it work but we'll never know now unfortunately. Bit a tenuous one, Simone Perrotta was born in England, does the U6 league count?
In terms of midfielders who weren't good Alberto Aquilani has to be up there.

Good, stay the course Milan...
He’s crap!!
I always remember him being good for Chelsea. Won a couple of FA Cups, League Cup and a Europena trophy with Chelsea pre Abromovich suggests he was a success?
Fair enough, I don't think the stats particularly bear out your second sentence, but I've only seem very limited games and I wasn't too fussed.
They didn't really need to move around in them olden times seeing how their league was be all end all of Europe.
That clearly is not the case anymore and accordingly we should start seeing more premium italian talents moving abroad (although there's less of them nowadays).
I can't tell if you're joking or not

He’s a cracking player. Newcastle starting to flex that wallet!

This will be looked at as the first signing of the serious Newcastle era if they build on this and start winning things.
Clearly seen sense and are not trying to compete for the league and in the CL by signing Scott fecking McTominay. We need to get some cash off West Ham and drop our price if need be.
Not been overly impressed when watching him.
I see where you’re coming from although I’d say Isak and even Bruno were probably the start but yes this is probably the first time they are flexing their muscle with higher expectations on them.
Damn, I thought he was at Milan for the long haul
Yeah, I think he's overrated and Barella is better.
From the little i've watched from him he strikes me as one of those young players that gets overrated because he's good on Fifa and FM. Haven't seen much mind you but never really been all that impressed as opposed to someone like Bennacer who oozes quality.
70m for Adam Driver? Crazy fee
Seems to be the opinion of a lot of Milanistas as well. Maybe he was a Maldini loyalist and the new regime want rid.
Imagine they roll out with a three of Tonali/Barella/Bruno, Christ.
They add Maddison and that's an outstanding midfield
