Summer mercato 2024

[Inas]

Bennacer left Algeria this morning to return to Italy, and required wheelchair assistance. He will undergo a scan to understand the full extent of the damage.

Florenzi might return faster than Bennacare...

Wheelchair! Is he that... broken?

[Inas]

No i also dont expect us to use zeroli. We’ll send him on loan next season, sell him and see him in the national team in a few years having played only a few minutes here and there for us.  Darmian, Brescianini, Cristante like. 

Same will happen with daniel Maldini. And in a few years we will ask ourselves the question again why we havent got any nation team players from Italia

"Bad" as we are with youth players, I don't think we've lost/missed any superstar youngster. That's the truth.

You are assuming that the team performance has an impact on the ownership. I don't think that's the case. 

If we finished 10th, the management may get booted, the coach may get fired, the players may get sold; but ownership probably won't change (if anything, it would be even harder to find new buyers).

Agree. RB is not going anywhere unless someone offers them a hefty amount for Milan. Hefty, as in way more than what they spent. They spent 1.2B to take control of the club. I assume it'll take closer to a 2B valuation for them to sell. 
Problem? There are no buyers lining up to buy Italian football clubs. At least not the types of buyers that are going to run the club differently than RB. In which case, why even go through the instability again, if it'll be the same, just under a different ownership name.

Because for some reason we don’t want an Italian Milan. Seems we are becoming the real “Internazionale”

[Bennacer]

OT: Reijnders again! After just 2 minutes again Germany. Great run from the deep. Fonseca, you know what you should do...

Yeeees play him at DM!

Fonseca should start packing his bag is what he should be doing.

That is not the point. It is more about the players either being of use or being better than the alternative. As being our youth player bring several benefits outside of that.

as far as I see Locatelli/Cristante could help us being more stable in midfield. Bellanova could probably been better than Emerson/Calabria.

[Beppe]

True, and it gives us an identity, having an italian core, even better an italian core of own youth players.
It also helps us with the lists offcourse.

And indeed Locatelli, Cristante, Bellanova, Brescianini, D.Maldini could al be usefull players for us. We seem to prefer foreign players, even for backups. We should be able to produce and keep some Italian youth players who would be useful, as a starter or as backup.

Having a lot of foreigners is normal, but what we are doing now is not, this is too much. A team like AC Milan should always havee few italian national team players!!

[Arildonardo]

Anyone else see who we are linked to as an emergency hire if Fonseca gets the boot? Paulo Sousa? Are you kidding me. These directors are fucked!!!

"AC Milan have not had the best of starts to their new era, and Paulo Sousa’s name has been mentioned as a potential emergency solution if results do not improve.

As Calciomercato.com write, there have been some rumours floating around – albeit not from very trustworthy sources – that Sousa could arrive to take Paulo Fonseca’s plan in the event that Milan collapse against Venezia, Liverpool and Inter in the next three games."

We can blame our directors for many things, but not for rumours from shitty sources that are not true.
