Happy to of beaten Ladri to make CL for that obvious reason, but also I didn't want us to get into a last day scrap with Verona as they try to stay up.

It wasn't great, but the 3pts is all I care about.

But, good. We are in the CL. Now it's market time

I’ve watched a few Juve games and this is them under Allegri. They aren’t really an attacking team despite the names they have and being forced to get a goal worked against them. 

We played in second gear the whole game which is sad as we could have really beat the crap out of them.

Thiaw is quietly growing into a WC. What a gem we have. I hope that he can keep developing in the right direction without setback.

Next year better be a improvement. I enjoyed watching games our championship year, this year was a snooze fest. Sign players, try diffrent formations (in the summer) and please milan if a player doesn't show heart when he plays for this team bench them, trade them .

Sorry for the vent but I'm still pissed off from our cl games vs inter. I'm usual not the type of fan that cries during a win or loss, I don't lose sleep etc. But since the CL loss I've stopped watching and just look at final score and read your comments.

Thanks for listening. In the states it's hard to find seria a fans, and especially Milan ones. So you guys are stuck with me

I agree, losing the fighting spirit is the biggest problem. Luckily, the Curva is still with the team (fans around the world, too, but they are closer to the team).

This is a transition year from Ibra era to Post-Ibra, so get past it with minimum pain is acceptable. But we must be hungrier next season, we need more Tonalis!

The first thing we must do is to throw 4-2-3-1 out of the window, and go for a 4-3-3. We need to control the midfield a lot better, and get full use of Tonali as a Mezzala. He is great when having these deep runs. I pray that we get both SMS and Kamada. That would be a fantastic start for the mercato and the midfield.

Rumours says a budget of 70 million. I suppose that is before player sales and saved salaries? i hope for 100-120 million then. We can do a lot of good for that amount of money if spended wisely.

- Kamada for free, lookes like a done deal.
- SMS. We are probably the only ones who can afford him in Italy. Go for it! 100%.
- Thuram for free. We should go all in. He is so versatile. Perfect addition. Big comptetition, but its not unrealistic.
- Cheap but experienced cover for Theo. Guerreiro s for free now, but he will probably demand a starting position. Same for Grimaldo.
- Openda as a CF. I have not seen him much live, just videoes, but he looks like a really good prospect. Extremely fast, good finisher, lots of movement. Opposite of Giroud.
- Chiesa as a RW. 40 million.

In total this will cost around 120 mill + salaries. Big investment, but will improve the squad a lot!

This demand that we of course can offload Rebic, Origi, Messias, FBT, not buying Diaz, and maybe a sale of either Saele or CDK. ++.

Let the mercato begin!

Brahim lacks consistency. Thiaw is a real rock

It just occurred to me that there are two Thuram's: Khephren and Marcus (I Googled and copied/pasted.) This is so confusing. Big Grin Weren't there two Adli's as well two summers ago both linked to us? Facepalm

Yep, there is quite an impressive statistic that he played 1820 minutes and Milan conceded only 11 goals. Okmilan

I know that it is not the level of our legends yet, Big Grin but it is a solid start.


Quote:Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini conceded just 23 goals at heart of AC Milan in 196 matches
