Does a manager prefer a sale be done outside of windows and not close to his contract end? There is no evidence that Elliott are unhappy with Maldini and in my opinion RedBird SHOULD  keep Maldini but what is the expectation by going public. This is what I am saying/asking. He better know what he is doing cause on the surface at least he is damaging celebrations, check social media and half Milan talk is "doubts"

To be honest. I've been so close to dumping Social media for anything Milan related. a lot of the Milan fans on social media are just toxic people who do not properly understand football, let alone how a football club works.

No Thank you. Stupidly high wage for a guy who's cruised through the last few years without having to work hard.

100% trust that those guys know what they're doing. We just need to wait to see what happens with the buy out. I just hope it happens sooner rather than later. 

I'll also add to what I said earlier. I don't doubt that Management are still looking and in talks with various clubs and players but not able to pull the trigger on anything so my comments were more around the media's knowledge of what's happening behind closed doors. They're already hit and miss at the best of times let alone now when everyone is tight lipped. 

on GDS... a good friend of mine was talkign to me about what he experienced when working for them. There's no checking of facts or anything. Just "journalist" writes an article. Someone checks for the standard spelling mistakes and the like and it gets posted. So literally anyone can make up anything and it gets published. 
It's not unrealistic to assume that GDS aren't the only ones with this practice.
Whatever is the case is right now, it's in everyones best interest to pay close attention to what the team needs right now. This team that's put together here was not an overnight success by any means and it's on the brink of true greatness, and perhaps never reaching the lows we've experienced recently for at least a few decades. Being ignorant to this summers market and our needs would be a real slap in Maldini's face. I think his frustration is justified.

The project is just so good, perhaps a generational one in certain aspects & there should be full support. I understand not wanting to invest 100m or 200m into the team if there was no progress, but it's ever so clear that this team is only missing a few pieces and a season or two to be where Liverpool or Madrid were last night.
PSG or MC are forced to overpaid because they have money.

Milan have no money but often facing expensive prices because clubs think Maldini & Massara will rob them Big Grin

Doesn't matter really. Maldini will still rob them anyway.  Angel

While they're on the C's why not Castillejo too!

But let's keep Calabria.
Looks like Inter want to get rid of Sensi. I know we were close to him a few seasons ago before he transferred to Inter. Not entirely sure how he was at Sampdoria but I think they did better overall this season. He could be a nice cheap option for the midfield and CAM role.
He was great when they got him. I was a bit upset we didn't go for him. But he's been destroyed by injuries and has barely played. 990 minutes across 20 games this season. Last uear it was even worse. I think he's destined for a move back to a mid-table club to restart his career. Maybe the out of nowhere Sevilla or Villareal loan. But I don't see him going to a top club now. He just needs to stay injury free. If he does, he's a great player imo and can than get another contract at the top in a couple years.
Calciomercato.com report that Monza CEO Adriano Galliani will soon meet with Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara to understand which players are available and could be suitable for Monza as they look to stay in the top flight.

Galliani really likes Junior Messias, but the Rossoneri management are currently inclined towards buying him permanently from Crotone. Then, there are four other players that could be of interest: young striker Lorenzo Colombo, Daniel Maldini, Mattia Caldara and Matteo Gabbia.

Loan with option to buy incoming?...
Why do we want to keep Messias? Are we actually satisfied with his performance?
