Summer mercato 2020

[porcho]

Inter are also another club who could remain strong after all this as their funds come from Suning. If Suning’s economy is still thriving then Inter will be okay.

Porcho,

Do not mix the success of the CEO and the Sporting Director because they have two completely different objectives and the only reason Milan has failed in the last 15 years is because of the failure in the CEO’s responsibilities to deliver healthy financials. 

Nefremo,

You do not seem to have that imagination to be able to think of what might happen in a future that hasn’t happened before. 

And now back to Milan.

With the introduction of FFP,  healthy financials balance sheets are what allows clubs to spend more. No matter how much cash we have and how willing we are to spend, some Milanisti cannot seem to understand that the ONLY REASON we are not spending is because we (Gazidis) are respecting the rules of UEFA whether we believe in them or not. We just got kicked out of UEFA this season for ‘not respecting the FFP’ because we outspent more than what we earnt (due to poor work from the previous CEOs). This is the total opposite of ‘ownership doesn’t have money to spend’ or ‘ownership doesn’t want to spend’. I hope members and Milanisti stop claiming that because it makes them sound really ignorant and prevents taking healthy discussions further.

How you can attack people's opinions and reasoning and act all high and mighty and talk about healthy discussions is beyond me.

I could sit here and pull apart every piece of what you wrote but let me just say this. if you think that top clubs are that poorly organised that they can't take a hit without going bankrupt then you're living in a fantasy land. Just because Milan was run that way, does not mean that other clubs are. 

On Suning... Sunings success has nothing to do with Inter's compliance with FFP.

On Gazidis and Poch. I really don't care what Gazidis did at Arsenal. At Milan he's stopped us spending on a top coach leading Maldini and Boban getting Giampaolo and Pioli. I'm not saying that it's not necessary. It is. Because so far we've got no new revenue streams so need to work on curbing spending. 

On your response to Nefremo. That first line says it all. It shows you do not understand how businesses run. They do not run on Imagination or hopes and dreams. They run on careful, calculated moves based on PAST HISTORY.

Also. There is no logic in your discussion. So... clubs will be that worse off that they'll be selling players off at 50% yet somehow Milan will be unaffected and will not have only 50% to spend? With all the FFP issues we've had. With no new incoming revenue. We'll somehow still have 100m to spend? And what? Use the money from selling Gigio, Suso, Kessie, etc for the same price Pre Covid. 

Ibra would have got a severe injury today. His season could be over.
At 39, will he be renewed ? Will he be able to recover properly ? Too many questions for a high risk I think ...

Calf Injury? WE shoul entertain keeping him around for depth and his leadership.
Achilles Injury? I'd put money on him retiring. Achilles injuries suck and take a long time to fully recover. At his age, it could well be something that could take him out for way too long.

Chelsea have decided against using their buyback clause for Sassuolo’s Jérémie Boga. (Fabrizio Romano)

Great! now we can make a move for him.
