I absolutely agree. You are a proffesional and you must do your work despite you want another club. Its childish behaviour(He is a child for his defence). The article says that it will not treat any deal, but it M/M is not utterly impressed with this behaviour.
If I was an agent, I would never recommend my players to skip training to force any transfer moves. It is a bad look and makes the guy look unprofessional for no reason.
That being said, you can't blame him for being mentally exhausted with this entire ordeal. These two teams have been negotiating for months and the kid doesn't have a clue on where he is going to play. To put a kid through all of this is also incredibly unprofessional on our end as a team. You either have the money to close the deal or you walk away from the deal, don't drag it out and force him to wait for an eternity. At this point, the kid is even willing to take a paycut, at the tender age of 21, before ever making big money in his career, just to make the move to us happen, and we want to nitpick at him skipping a training day? If this is true, I would have to think CDK is feeling incredibly underappreciated by Maldini and Massara
Interview with entourage says he's frustrated at Brugge for wanting and unrealistic fee for him.Says the delay is to Brugge , it's in Football Italia naked of ut what you will.
Brugge have or at least had a higher bid cause I doubt the Leeds one was fake rumour. In any case August starts on Monday, this is worse than 'enough already' now, we haven't even announced our own players like Leao.
Oggi Charles #DeKetelaere non si è allenato, ma non per sua volontà. Si è infatti presentato al campo d’allenamento ma il #Bruges ha preferito evitare rischi.
@RadioRossonera
Translation basically says it was Brugge that stopped the training out of fear of an injury
Donno what to believe anymore
The way Milan conduct transfer negotiations is not exactly appealing to attract future players.
Endless and tiresome negotiations that take months and harm player integration.
It's not a good look at all.
Must be the biggest soap opera of recent times...
Well, at last it seems like we'll finally get our guy. Hopefully he's worth all this trouble. Based on youtube  , he looks awesome. Smart, plays the ball quick, sees the field well, moves off the ball well and had great vision. Honestly, youtube makes this guy look oike the second coming of De Bruyne. Of course....youtube can also make Messias lool like Robben and Romagnoli like Nesta.
CDK cut his wage down a little to come to Milan.

I like this guy already.

If they were going to sell Skriniar for 70/75 and than sign Bremer for 30 (at least that was their plan), than they only needed to sell small (or get rod of some high salaried players - Sanchez, Dzeko - easier said than done) to make up the remaining. More or less status quo - if you believe Bremer was going to adequately replace Skriniar.
But obviously things have now changed with them losing out on Bremer. They could keep Skriniar like I said as an adeqiate replacement no longer exists, but they still need to sell big. This is where they'll get screwed. They are stuck in a choice on which department to weaken severely. Defence (Skriniar)? Midfield (Barella, Brozovic)? Attack (Lautaro)? If I was them, I'd try and sell Lautaro (will probably get 40m for him) and be done with it. But his market is probably midtable EPL sides (and only ones that will pay that much) so convincing him to leave won't be as simple.
One thing is true now....I think Inter, currently, is stronger than they were last season. I don't think it's a definite for that to stay that way though.
Our strength actually lies in the improvement of the current young squad we have. Signings or not, although they help, this was always going to be our case. If our players that showed so much improvement last season (Maignan, Theo, Tomori, Kalulu, Tonali, Leao, healthy Bennacer with more game time) continue their growth (I don't see why not - as they are in that age and they gained confidence with the Scudetto, experience with the CL, etc)....than we are still ahead. There is no amount of signings that will make up for that. Internal growth, continuity, experience, etc....is the best thing you can have. If than, we can supplement that with a couple of quality signings (CDK, Adli), we'll be flying.
I think currently they're about the same.
Perisic was probably the best and most consistent player for them. Even in his 30's he was good.
Losing him is great for the rest of the competition.
Lukaku? He is in a different system with a different coach so we will see how he goes with Inzaghi.
I think also worth mentioning is Inter got unbelievably lucky with Covid and injures for a lot of the year , but when they did get injuries is when they went 7 games for just 7 points.
All teams go through tough patches for sure but Inter had a four leaf clover for a lot of the year.
The window isn't over yet, and like you said they now have go weaken a significant area or two.
I would sell Martinez too,maybe Dumfries as well.
I am not saying Inter won't be a threat because I am sure they will challenge. I just hope the wheels fall off spectacularly again and we can hear Merda fans bitch how unfail that Bologna match was- never mind your club wasn't good enough to beat a midtable side.
