If Pippo sanctioned the Cristante move, then I've lost faith in him as well
For *bleep* sake, he worked with the youth teams for two years, he should know the qualities of this player better than anyone

From my POV, Pippo didn't have a say in the transaction.. Pippo is just another yes man who takes whatever the management throws at him.. Isn't that why he was appointed in the first place?

Unbelievable

If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two

We signed Bonaventura

How good is Bonaventura?

pretty good player, i had my doubts but he has good ball control, and good eye for goal. he is one of the atalanta's main player so i think he will do good. i dont think he will play as winger but i dont know, he might play as midfielder... he is AM.

he is a bit like Christiano Doni if you guys remember him.

would have liked cigarini instead but bonaventura is fine.

Biabiany deal is off because Zaccardo didn't agree to go the other way

Pretty sure Bonaventura is his replacement.

28 players in total



Still bummed out because of Cristante tho...

yea really good transfer market although it would have been even better to get rid of weak players (muntari essien bonera zaccardo)

So...

Lmao we made history. Posted a photo of player without officially signing him.

But the Cristante sale just ruined my day :face palm:

Lopez
Abate---- Alex Rami -----MDS
V.Ginkel NDJ Bonaventura
Honda ----- Torres------ SES

thats the best possible lineup i could also think of but i would be really devastated if inzaghi plays muntari bonera essien ahead of all the quality players we have bought in....

it would be massive waste and foolish thing to do.

as of this moment, inzaghi has all the quality players at his disposal to finish atleast 3rd...

inzaghi needs to select right players, and guide them tactically and mentally to do right thing...


if muntari bonera are regulars... i can see milan finishing not even top 5

Galliani: "I tried to convince Cristante to stay but he wanted to leave because he thinks there are too many players here."
"Cristante wanted to join a foreign club. He didn't want to play against Milan

"Cristante asked to be sold. We wanted to loan him out, but he didn't want that."


yea me too... thought cristante should have been starter ahead of muntari.

and i applaud cristante because he did the right thing for himself. instead of being loaned out to some low level clubs or serie b serie c clubs... he thought what is best for himself career wise because playing at loan for some low level club is not going to help his career!!

and i was so pleased he said he wont play against milan! great honorable thing to say.

and by playing at benfica he is learning from some other seriously talented players because benfica is always full of talented players and they sell em. and whats even better is rui costa selected him

cristante did absolutely right thing what other talented milan youth players couldnt do or ask their agents. Cristante believes in himself and his career, he obviously thought its right to play for club like benfica where he can really enhance his career than playing in low level clubs in italy.

thats really awesome move by him...

Purchases: 18.75m Total Spent

Can't wait until Cristante becomes the next Matic at Benfica and they slap a 35m release clause

yea i would really want cristante to show what he is worth and gobsmack galliani

Zaccardo *bleep* ruined my day. We had Biabiany, one of my favourite wingers in Serie A ffs

I join to hate Zaccardo , but for different reasons
for me Bonaventura >> Biabiany, although they are 2 different roles but Bonaventura can play to football better than French.
I follow Bonaventura since he played with Italy under 19, I've always appreciated him although I don't know if he is ready for a top club but he is not a scrub anyway , I liked to see him to Inter also because he would have been useful and Biabiany to you (contrariwise never liked )  so yes , ruined completely my day too .
But for the opposite reason

yea i also think Bonaventura is better than bibiany. Bibiany is absolutely great with pace but i think with menez and honda at disposal i thought there will not be room for him to play anyway.

bonaventura is one of those classic italian midfielders who can score goals and i had my doubts a year ago, right now i can think of him as a good player, whether he will succeed remains to be seen but he was one of the atalanta's most important player. i would have loved to have cigarini instead but its ok bonaventura is not bad signing. if he can cover poli or if he can even get games ahead of muntari ... i will be more than happy.

Bonaventura always wanted him

We got Marco Van Ginkel and Bonaventura , essentially adding some much needed creativity in the midfield . Very good so far.

We lost Cristante . Only the future will trully tell , but i think it's for the best.

We didn't sign Biabiany , which is fine with me. Pace and then chaos , i don't care about such players. Zaccardo still plays for us though.. only for this i wanted Biabiany to happen , but i ain't losing any sleep over this . Zaccardo will barely play 5 games this season .

Can't wait to see what happens with Van Ginkel next summer. I know there's no option to buy , but.. lol i don't expect him to be a Chelsea player any time soon with the midfielders they have .

I think Van Ginkel , if he has a good season with Milan , is here to stay , this way or the other . Like Forza well noted , Chelsea fans may have high expectations for MVG , but that doesn't mean Mourinho does as well.

Time will tell , but Galliani has never signed a player just on loan , without being possible to make it permanent . Next summer won't be any different for Van Ginkel at Chelsea , there will still be important players in front of him . In Milan he can be a regular . He can be 1st choice , he could be fan favourite here.

it's not that simple as no option to buy. It's quite possible that , if he likes it here and Milan does want him to stay , he could stay. It's soon for such talk however , let's see how he does first.

According to Di Marzio, we secured Suso from liverpool for free. He will probably join us at the end of his contract which will be next summer.

just read the news that Shakhtar club headquarter premises has been breached. we should have negotiated for Douglas Costa now for next season or January instead of Suso.

There is no way Shakhtar can dispute players refusal to return to the club. Their agent and player can go to court or with the help of UEFA request for contract termination because they should be talking about the interest of player's safety before anything!

I actually quite like Suso, however I always saw his future in midfield rather than the wings due to his lack of acceleration. He's calm with the ball and a good passer though so I wouldn't be opposed to his arrival, however he seems like more of the same for what we currently have when I'd like another explosive winger.
