Winter mercato 2022

[Demonbanana]

With Calabria out, we will have to go with Florenzi (just back from injury) or Kalulu (just back from U21 duty) for Fiorentina and Atletico matches. Otherwise Conti is available.

Maybe Pioli will field Krunic as RB ?

[porcho]

If that's true, Romagnoli is welcome to stay.


Bennacer stretched off while on NT. Not sure how serious this injury is. They have said it's cramp, but we will see.

So far Bennacer,  Calabria and Ballo all injured while on NT. 


Some good news , Colombo with 2 good assists for u21 team.

Yeah. if that's true then I love the guy again. He seems to have turned things around so would be good to keep him. Works well with Tomori too. 

I think I've said it here before. IMO Internationals shouldn't be played at the moment. or at least the structure should change to play less games. Players are already struggling enough with the fixture being the way it is without the internationals. 

Was it 2 assists or was is 1 plus a replay.  
They were both almost identical

If he accepts the pay cut and rotation then yes, all good.


Fifa just couldn't have the WC. You would think this pandemic has changed things, but certainly not Nations League and friendlies.

They where basically identical! Crazy !

In case anyone missed it Mr. €9M man FAILED  to lead Ivory Coast to the World Cup.

I also believe Mr €6M Merda-Kebab FAILED  to lead his team the World Cup. They might be in the playoffs though with Sweden,  Portugal etc 


Thankfully,  some results went my way and Japan now have a chance to get to the WC! 

[Sampinjon]

Yes, Kebab goes to play-offs, but with some of the teams there... hope he'll fail... Let it be Italy-Turkey in play off semifinals, clash of two lovely persons, than whoever win to go on Portugal in finals and lose it. 9M, Kebab and RatBoi to watch World Cup on TV.

What the hell went wrong with Japan? They are too good to not to go to WC. What a chaotic start they had! 

[Bennacer]

Adama Traore available for around 25-30 mill euros says the rumours. A player who can create havoc against everyone with his insane speed and iron like body. He is absolutely not a consistent player but as we witness, Pioli can do wonders with young players.

Think about our counters... Leao, Traore, Diaz, Rebic, Theo. Damn!

[nefremo]

He is 25 now. Should be in his prime as a winger. I'm not saying he won't have more success elsewhere...but his 0 goals/0 assists this season in 12 games, or 3 goals/3 assists in 41 games last year hardly describe a player able to "cause havoc".

25-30M is a lot for us. A loan + option is more like it for this guy. He hasn't done anything in his career other then turn into a body builder...which doesn't quite work as well on a football field.

I do agree that he can be used more effectively though and may be worth a taking a chance. Just again...not for that kind of money. Not for Milan at least.

[Bennacer]

You have some valid points Nefremo. We suffer from goal contribution on the right wing, and his stats is more like Saelemaekers.. But in pure physical attributes his potensial is enormous.

What do you think about the rumours about Pepe from Arsenal? They bought him for 80 mill euros, now they say they will maybe let him go for 30 mill. Loan with an option to buy maybe? Unrealistic maybe, but who knows. He was unplayable in Lille, but a lot more ups and downs for the Gunners. But yet another exiting player with a lot of " X factor".

Similar to Italy,  our attack hasn't been very good. We've dominated games and not been able to put the score on the board. 
Our defense is pretty solid- a bit old- but 3 of the 4 have played Serie A one in Ligue 1. Tomiyasu of course is EPL. 
It's kind of weird our issues have been similar to Italy's from thar point but we are now in a automatic qualification spot so our destiny is in our own hands.
