He's a leech. He came here to make profits without any risks. So he won't cross "red line" and go into minus. Not now, not ever. He's rather going to lose CL next year than to invest from his pockets and go into personal minus. If he loses CL, he'll cover that by selling Leao or Theo or Pulisic if there is any interest which exceeds what he spent on him, part will reinvest into new moneyball flops. That's what leeches do.

SPOT ON! 

Anybody else thinking otherwise is fooling themselves. I would only add that his motives beyond profits, are making profits in the US.

Great post, Sampinjon!
It is what Gerry could think at his position.

This winter I'm quite curious about Ibra's role. Normally the negotiation was Furlani's responsibility, and he's handled it very well, the process was always long, yet resulted in the players that belong to the (bugeted) shortlists.
Some journalist (Marco Cattaneo) needed some attention:

"Ricci-Milan percentage? 97%, I'm telling you he could be on the pitch in the derby: without Fofana, Ricci and Walker will play."

What a donkey. Milan won’t even spend 30 million on their position in most need. This guy think they’ll spend 65 on an Italian?
Romano: Milan are closing in on deal for 2007 born winger Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit from Lillestrøm.

The article on SempreMilan says the price is NOK 40m or €5m. But NOK (Norwegian krone) 40m is "only" about €3.4m.

spot on with this but i'll even add something to make it crazier.. We have such low debt levels compared to the other top teams that he doesn't even need to go into his personal pockets! We literally can spend more - he won't even take debt which almost every single club is doing in the multipliers more than us
Did someone say the money comes straight out of gerry’s pocket?

Our main target Gimenez got injured yesterdayBig Grin what are these clueless cunts gonna do now? Probably a perfect excuse not to sign him.
We will not sign anyone. I guess it was never the plan.

Only a few days left and not many rumours.

A 34 year old almost free player. That's what we got.
Daniel Maldini to Atalanta! Good transfer for our boy, Atalanta is a much better and stable club as Milan these days.
