Gianluigi Donnarumma has made his first – unhacked – comments since yesterday’s events, but insisted he is only thinking about tomorrow’s Italy match with Spain in the U21 EURO’s semi-final.
Sunday evening was full of twists. Donnarumma went on Twitter to deny rumours that he’s breaking up with agent Mino Raiola, stating: “#Donnarumma #Raiola, yesterday, today and tomorrow.”
This tweet obviously upset the Rossoneri fans, who see Raiola as the man to mostly blame for Donnarumma’s decision to reject Milan’s contract renewal offer (€5m per season for five years).
However, a longer message was later posted on Gigio’s Instagram account, which said: “My tweet sparked a real firestorm, which I did not wish to generate, so for that I apologize. I wish to reiterate my absolute love for Milan and its fans. Now all that’s in my mind is the Nazionale, with whom I hope to give a gift to all the supporters. My promise is that, as soon as the Euros are finished, I will meet the club along with my family and my agent to discuss my renewal.” But, as Gigio tweeted afterwards, his account was hacked and it wasn’t him posting it! And so, he deleted his entire Instagram account.
Raiola, a 49-year-old agent with over 20 years of experience in the field, couldn’t pass on joining the ‘party’; after Donnarumma’s first tweet, Raiola tweeted: “DONNARAIOLA x HATERS 1-0 What’s next?” and then after Donnarumma deleted his Instagram account, he wrote: “‘’Tweets’ between me and Gigi are tweets of friendship. After Euros, we’ll meet Milan. Now Nazionale is important.”
Today, Donnarumma, who is with the Under 21 national team getting ready for Tuesday’s encounter with Spain (21:00 CET kickoff), joined coach Luigi Di Bagio in a press conference to explain things.
“I didn’t want Donnarumma in the press room in order to leave him quiet, but he wanted to come,” Di Bagio said. “I ask you to not ask him questions about the club and the market because he will not answer. Gigio is having a great EURO’s but he’s under the spotlight and you have to get used to it.”
Donnarumma then took the stage: “I wanted to come here to talk,” the 18-year-old goalkeeper said. “An uproar has been created around me and I’m sorry because he what matters is the Azzurri shirt. My future? We will see after the national team commitments. What I wanted to let you know? I wanted to let you know that I’m just thinking about La Nazionale and about tomorrow’s match, and I wanted you to understand precisely that, only that. I’m very calm and serene.
“If social media does good or bad, considering what happened? It can be both fun and not, but I use it to pass a bit of time. Nothing more, I just use it to spend some time. If I’ll still use social media? Yes, I’ll definitely use them again. Fear of hackers? No, no… if my profile was hacked? Yes, yes.
“Protests against me during the EURO’s [Milan Club Poland threw fake dollars at him and then hang a banner against Raiola]? Yes… I didn’t expect it. To tell you the truth, I didn’t realize they were dollars, I only noticed later. It all didn’t affect me much though, because I’m focused on the Euros. My teammates later joked about it. I reiterate my concentration on the EURO’s.
“If the three goals I conceded against Czech Republic were avoidable? I don’t know, I didn’t have time to think about it. After the Czech Republic game, I was only thinking about the game against Germany. I certainly don’t have a mentality problem: I repeat, I’m quiet and I’m here only to win.
“This is my first international event? It’s a European tournament and all the players here are worthy of it, they are strong and there are key players in every game, we watch videos for that… [new Juventus striker] Patrik Schick has impressed me the most, he’s an excellent player.
“The favorite team to win this EURO’s? The four semi-finalists are all favorites [Italy, Germany, Spain and England]. We are facing a difficult challenge with Spain, but we can do it. If I’m enjoying the tournament? Of course, yes, it’s a fantastic experience that will help me grow.”
Donnarumma’s words weren’t very telling, and according to RAI Italia, the FIGC imposed silence on yesterday’s event and while Gigio wanted to talk about what happened, he was not allowed. Sky’s Peppe Di Stefano adds that there was an attempt to cancel the press conference to avoid mistakes.
There is still a possibility that Donnarumma will stay at Milan but it seems that whatever happens with him, he – at least temporarily – lost the support of the fans, who saw him as a future captain.
bla bla bla world cup next year bla bla bla, money, bla bla bla im the best GK in the world bla bla bla Raiola, learn from casillas, learn from Kaka, sign the contract and then leave. hope Milan hire a new gk and bench this as”#! hole. You are not bigger than Milan, Milan musn’t wait for you, Milan will return to the top without rotten apples, This is why I appreciated so much players like noccerino abate, monty and honda. SHUT Up Donnarumma u screwed everything
Your whole comment was bla bla bla
hey whats wrong with you. comparing Kaka to Donnarumma????? Kaka was forced out by Milan to balance the books. Kaka was a loyal world class player.
The kid just got lit up for 3 goals. How’s your confidence and the size of your head now putz? Think Real is gonna be a cake walk? You’ll get treated like a piece of trash if you play there like you did today. Dollaruma will look back at this someday and think to himself behaving like he did with Milan was the biggest mistake of his pro career. To sum it all up, no keeper plays a larger role than the backline. You can have a wobbly keeper and have a solid backli e and win big like we… Read more »
Yes, players like Donarumma are horrible! We should be focusing on renewing Honda not Donnarumma!!! Smh what is wrong with management?! Don’t they know players like Nocerino and Montolivo are the ones that win you games?!?!? If he doesn’t sign a 25 year contract with a salary of 10 euros per year, he CLEARLY doesn’t deserve to play for Milan!!!!!!!
always remember how many points he won us single-handedly.
its eazy, do we have one week to negotiate? yes
do we have two? for him, yes.
so agree about that buyout fee. if he doesn’t want to leave or the finincial stability doesnt change for worse, he will not leave no matter who comes knocking.
if we lose him we will not play a bigger part in the Champions League than Pescara did in Serie A after they lost Verratti, Insigne, Immobile.
How many points? Not sarcasm here, really asking.
Which victory made you the happiest last year? Then imagine Khedira shot going in.. i will count 1-2 points to Donna for every game we won with 1 goal.
And can you remember all those sloppy goals he let in? He is a good keeper but not a god or something. I even wish we sell him before he starts to infect other players too…
“if we lose him we will not play a bigger part in the Champions League than Pescara did in Serie A after they lost Verratti, Insigne, Immobile.” milan couldnt win vs pescara without bonadinho though so who’s top player now?
for me Donnarumma, Jack, Romagnoli, Locatelli are the untouchables. Then the new boys, Suso, Lapadula, Kuco, Gomez who all have the character to fight for the team even if they are not top players.
Ali, how many sloppy goals did he let in? I can remember one clear mistake with Paletta’s back pass, and two other occasions where he didn’t come out in time.
During an entire season that’s an incredible record. Even if your name is Neur, De Gea, Buffon, or Courtua (Chelsea GK).
Let me be clear, alright? I agree that he is a great keeper but he is not flawless yet. I’d add the one against Inter with Candreva shooting from a closed angle. All I’m saying is that Donna is no god like some of the fans like him to be.
Well Donnaruma has finally spoken and even though he didnt say the things most people wanted to hear in terms of what happened with the renewal talks its still good in some way that he at least spoke, I mean he said when the Euros are over he will sit and talk with Milan again and for that im fine with its not like he’s Conti who wants nothing to do with Atalanta after saying yes to Milan or Sciglio who wanted to leave………by the way what has happened to the situation with Sciglio anyways we havent heard anything really… Read more »
Don’t just make yourself another Mino’s remote, we can see your heart stays but your head is elsewhere because Mino lives up there and controls it. Hopefully you make the right decision in your own interest because with or without you, Milan will always be Milan. I am tired of the saga already because it has become so boring.
Yes our mercato has become boring unless we sign a beast playmaker
Donnarumma can go f.. himself- he has single handedly humiliated Milan! Milan is acting like a lovestruck teen that is desperately in love with the hot cheerleader but she wants someone else(Real Madrid!)- I think the cheerleader is gonna get fat in a few years!
I think you watch a lot of rom-com.
Also you know that he. being an evil mastermind, has single handedly humiliated Milan. Bravo.
Well bulletin I think he is right and I assume dollaruma have lost all his respect as far as being a milan fan…..simply either renew or go away……enough of drama….it’s not end of the world
Bulletin – how you know he wants somewhere else? When did he say that? Where you get Real Madrid from? You read too many stories and believe jurnalists too much – it’s funny actually LOL.
Indeed.
It is hilarious how much power social media has given to people to get emotional, and to believe anything at all without actually hearing from the other side or verifying things.
And these ‘media trials’ are often so destructive and damaging!
Oh Ink! Stop defending the child. I really want him sold but I don’t feel any urge to explain it in everyone’s face under every article. And I even want more to wait and see, that’s all we can do after all.
Children need protection from phrases like ‘ f himself’, don’t you think?
I don’t mind and usually don’t even comment to criticisms which are done in a civilized manner.
But I simply cannot stand it if I notice someone going overboard with words.
I just don’t like people who feel like they can say whichever words they want to when they are behind a keyboard and say words they cannot say to anyone face to face.
I wonder if Bulletin ever told anyone to go f himself – in person.
It is just cowardly.
Just remind everybody to act mannerly in neutral tone ink, no need to defend anybody, we all here wait n see donna’s case..your most comments actually create more unrest situation
I have to disagree at the ‘most’ of my comments creating unrest part.
Problem is, most of the time they don’t react to neutral tones. Speaking from experience.
Are you the internet vigilante?
Don’t tell me you call yourself kickass and wear a cape behind your keyboard, too!
I do, Kourosh.
(damn my secret is out…)
But yeah you know, when I see something unfair or unreasonable is being spoken, I will speak my mind against it.
Things are all mucked up because nobody says anything.
F**k you donna, f**k your agent, screw your talent mother f***er….u ain’t bigger than the club… You can live for all I care…players come n go but the club and fans always remain….
Forza millan!
Lol.
Tell me that comment deserves a respectful neutral tone reply, Brkudo.
smh
That comment like many other ones deserves no attention.
Regarding how he behave at social media, I think he has multiple personality disorder
I think it’s more likely that he wasn’t hacked at all, but as soon as Raiola(or somebody else) saw that post, they told him to make an excuse and delete it immediately…
The media is making Donnarumma look like he is indispensable to Milan. He is one player!! If he signs fine, if he doesn’t so be it. He is a fine keeper who can be even better but every other first team player is just as important. Some people talking about how many points he saved us last season like Suso, Bona, Bacca, Lapadula, Romagnoli, Locatelli and the rest didn’t do anything. I’m really worried how the rest of the team will respond when an 18 yr old gk gets so much attention and earns double or triple their salaries. Doesn’t… Read more »
They are all professionals and will act like professionals. All teams have players that get special attention and make more than everyone else – if someone can’t handle it, they shouldn’t be in this profession.
Ever heard of fc hollywood? Or netherlands nt meltdown in wc ’90?
Thats the point milan10, thanks for ur further explanation
How do u know they will act professional joe? You read at newspaper?
I agree with u mansa, its true they all professional athletes, but from management’s perspective its important to create conducive atmosphere within club
I agree with Joe. This is a common situation in many teams, and players can deal with it.
How do ManU players deal with Pogba’s sallary?
Seriously, what is the logic here? We have the money, he wants to sign, but we don’t sign him since there is a chance some players get pissed off? Really?!
Stop treating these guys like they are children. Everybody is a phsycologist these days. They are professionals and are expected to handle these things; if they can’t, there’s alway Pascara where nobody earns a lot.
Baresi Dream, right on! Pogba isn’t even that great and not the best on the team and his price tag is astronomical. It’s good to know at least someone understands how things work LOL.
Remember that Donnarumma never said he wanted to leave – he never said he didn’t want to sign – those are the words of his agent. From what I’ve seen, Gigio only said he loves Milan and that he will sit down and discuss the renewal after the Euros. We can’t expect him to handle it while he is concentrating on the games – when it’s over he will be at Milan and just his agent. No reason to make the kid look like a dirtbag when he didn’t do anything. Young people are easily manipulated and we all know… Read more »
Well said.
I don’t really mind if he is not here for a long time, but denying his undoubted talent and his contributions over the past two seasons – like some people here does – just sounds desperate and sad.
And those that are denying it are giving you thumbs down LMFAO. It’s like stand up comedy on here LOL.
This whole affair is starting to get to the kid and his agent. First, he messes up for the Azzurinis and let in 2 howlers. But says he’s fully focused on the Euros. Yeah right. Second, he tweets out of turn saying he loves the club as wants to renew but takes back his tweets saying his account had been hacked and that he loves his agent. BS. Third, his agent says some crap and calls him Gigi?!?!. That’s Buffon you moron fatiola. All this points to new cracks in the foundation between these 2. I believe the pressure is… Read more »
yeah,,,what ever…I don’t care if Dollarumma signs or not…he lost all may respect!!!
sell him to Real Madrid…Players Come and Go but Milan Stays…I don’t want a fucking Kid in a place where should be only MEN!
I don’t know even this he’s taking us for a ride. If the media and fans are on you and making you crazy, you could easily put everything to rest by saying I’ll remain at milan and I want to stay or whatever. Think he’s saying this so people lay off him until the euros are over. This time around I’m not getting excited, I think he will not sign. I just hope that this doesn’t carry on past a week after the euros are over cause if he screws us we will also lose out on perin as he… Read more »

“Gianluigi Donnarumma has made his first – unhacked – comments since yesterday’s events,” mr meytar u sly silver-tounged devil u.

Well, it aint over till the fat mino obelix sings
No more blah blah blah blah Sign the contract and keep your mouth shut. I hope you are sold eventually, this year or the next. You have lost all my respect. He is an opportunist, and he will do the same again next season if he stays with us given that he has so much love for his agent. Because nobody has tabled a bid for him, now they both realize that it’s best to make peace now and backstab Milan when they get a better offer. YOU HAVE LOST THE TRUST, AND I DOUBT IT CAN EVER BE THE… Read more »
Bless you mate
All this talk about Milan pride is ridiculous. You’d think we’re commenting on a couple of teens living in a soap opera. “Donna insulted us …”, “why do we have to wait for Donna”… etc
This is business. The only thing that matters is if he signs and for how much.
Now let’s get this U21 over so we can close this issue.
Exactly.
Apparently some of us get hurt and become emotional wrecks too easily.
Btw and all the questions about why would a 18yr old get such a huge salary — I have a view about those questions. While some aspects might be legit, most of the time, those questions stem from jealousy.
I really don’t get our fans sometimes. You would think saving our pride is more important than saving our team. We are at the brink of being another club which can only look up to its history, and they care about who said what …
To me personally, celebrating the Supercoppa last season (when we didn’t even deserve to play the match) like it was a big deal for Milan was way more humiliating than anything Donna can do.
Indeed.
And actually, what sort of pride are we talking about anyway when we are addressing people we don’t agree with as motherf or something along those lines.
Remind us to cry next time we won a trophy.
Football is indeed a business. A business of emotions though. So it’s part of the game, you cannot exclude them. The reason that Donna (and all pro footballers with their agents) can be paid such amounts is fundamentally because football fans are emotional. Even in football economics, the (emotional) behavior of the crowd is a key aspect with unique characteristics.
Having said that, the hysterical reaction of many fellow milanista is embarrassing and if it continues, it may be even harmful for the club.
Are you a fan or a businessman following Milan? Cause being a fan goes hand to hand with emotions buddy.
If there is no emotion then there is no passion, and without passion football doesn’t exist. Look at the Curvas, the only thing that drives them is their passion, their love. Nothing is ridiculous about that.
I have to say, passion becomes ridiculous when it becomes abuse and overtly unreasonable.
Those crying need to stop lol. Like Baresi Dream and Ink said, it’s all business. People here act like the world has ended, Armageddon is coming and we are all doomed. If I were Donnarumma I would also try to get the most money possible, it’s his future. So stop crying and bitching – either way it will all be OK LOL.
Fair enough.
As fans we are entitled to be emotional. This whole Donna business pisses me off as much as everyone else.
But this whole project is hanging on a thread – our business plan requires us reaching CL in 1 max 2 seasons. If we fail, everything can collapse. With so much hanging on the line, I’m glad at least Fassobelli are handling this with a cool heart.
When I was saying these things some people thought I wasn’t making sense. How can an kid be holding Milan ransom?. Half of the people commenting here wouldn’t have the time to soft follow their employees in a matter like this as Milan is actually doing but they will be the first to come here and side this ungrateful kid. I don’t care how much Milan is going to loose, thank God the Chinese are thinking same way. To me he is just a keeper without a character and he doesn’t suits my Milan. Just look at that lucrative contract,… Read more »
”who in his right senses would even think twice before signing?”
Just because you would sign it without a peep of doubt, that does not mean that you should expect all others to do so as a must as well.
Milan10 said something along this line few days back. Liked it.
He owes Milan that moral gratitude for a showing him kind gestures. He is still a boy that has more than 20yrs ahead of him. So why the rush?. Thank you.
Couldn’t have said it any better. Way to go dude.
Unless the world ends tonight ofc.
He has not being paying off the kind gestures from the club over the last two seasons by being so reliable between the posts? If so, then how many years in your opinion marks an end of the debt – if you will? How many years should Conti spend at Atalanta to pay off his debt for growing him, not more than one season?
This contract saga, it is not about kind gestures or gratitude or anything so novel like that. You simply cannot weight it in that way. Thank you.
So many things wrong with your rationale.
First off, this is simply Milan not Atalanta. Second he’s only 18 ffs not 23 like Conti. Third he’s rejecting a ridiculous amount of money, when Atalanta can’t offer Conti much. Fourth Conti is going for close to 30 million so he’s repaying Atalanta financially, when Donnarumma, by not renewing, is going to leave for peanuts or even for free.
Yes because Donnarumma has all along planned (since his birth probably) to make this drama and leave for free. And maybe Conti should do a bigger favour to Atalanta by going to someone who pays even more? All I am saying that, you cannot weight up these whole notion of ‘debt’ or gratitude with contract and transfer sagas. (you might have missed my point in the earlier comment. I said, NOT dependent on the contracts stuffs, with sarcastic questions about when will Conti’s and Donna’s debts will be paid) No matter how much dislike I have for Raiola, I have… Read more »
We are AC MILAN. We are no juventus roma napoli lazio who sell their golden players for any price. If you want a release clause you are free to join these lackey clubs.

Maybe you should take over and run Milan? Seems like you know it all. You wouldn’t even have a slightest clue what to do. To remind you, Berlusconi is the one that ran this club to the ground – yes he was great when Milan was winning but he should have sold Milan long time ago. As soon as he could no longer financially support it, he should have sold it and not allow it to go down like this. That’s the fact. Now, speaking of Donnarumma, can you show me where he said he wanted to leave and not… Read more »

Torino just got a new GK else we shld have added him to a deal for belotti…All in all, he shld go…It’s clear dat he will be a bad presence in d… Read more »
If he signs and he plays well. I would forgive and move on. If he signs and have a lot of mistakes during games. He must be sold as that would show his heart is no longer at San Siro.
I think the management also have their blame on the money involved in the contract (250k – 5m). This will make pigiola believe he can get more money from Milan if Donna delay the signing of the contract. However, I’m sure Donna will renew. Forza Milan.
after+all+this+begging+and+waiting+drama,+hope+he+delivers+clear+20+league+game+points+next+season.+That’s+if+he+signs+anyway
That f***ing space button. Am I right?
Haha … nice one
On the other hand.. Paolo Maldini is starting his professional tennis act at 49! In the past days, I was curious why Maldini had the captain armband. Now it’s clear why: grit, professionalism, and clear focus are his main qualities aside from being technically gifted. With the recent events, does Dollarumma possess the same qualities with the legendary captain? Does he deserve to wear the same armband which was worn by Milan’s legend? Let me know what you think..
I think u should find out why ur wife doesnt ask for sex mate. That aint remotely right *wink
Come on fellow Milanistas the guy is just 18 years old and clearly his pig agent has manipulated him he must be allowed to make mistakes outside of the pitch so he can learn from them like everybody else on this planet he is not perfect people are judging him too hard and insulting him dispite not knowing everything thats going on behind the scenes just wait until everything is sorted out before you judge… I like Fassone and Mirabelli and i think they have handled this situation in a great way but i still have doubts about this project… Read more »
I have always said that in my opinion Donnarumma is a great player and among the best in his position even right now, but thing is, I don’t even want him to become a legend here anymore. I am perfectly ok if we sell him in the next few years for the right price. He broke something that will never gets fixed again. I want him to renew and stay this season because that’s the least Milan deserves. Milan can sell him next season or the season after and will make the profit that it deserves. This is why the… Read more »
What mostly worries me at this point is the seriously disturbed relationship between all parties involved (including of course the fans). I’d like Donna to stay (for many reasons that other pro-Donna fellows have analysed here). But I am seriously worried about the team’s tranquility during the season. What will happen when the first bad result will come? What will happen in the first error of Donna? We’ve seen teams being seriously harmed because of such issues – especially when it comes to a prominent player. With all the drama we see lately, I’ve started having doubts. Unfortunately not everybody… Read more »
Suppose we sign James (or any other top name) and he doesn’t click for the first few games? How will he and the rest of team endure the backlash of media and fans? These are real risks, but still worth taking. Without taking them, you cannot move forward. Pressure and tension are part of being in a club like Milan.
Good point. It’s just that in this case, we are almost sure something like that will happen. Donna is human, eventually he will do an error. The main problem is that many fans will wait for this moment. Any other player (including top expensive) will have much more tolerance.
But you have a good point. Let’s just hope that most of our fellow fans will manage to overcome the extreme emotions – at least for the team’s shake.
Yeah, it could get very dicey in terms of pressure, and you are right – Donna will have all eyes on him, more than anyone else on the team. But I think he can handle it. That’s part of why I think he’s such a great GK – his ability to keep cool under intense circumstances.
Let’s talk about pride. About Milan’s pride. For the last 4 seasons we have done nothing that deserves any pride. Nothing. Super-Coppa? Bogus meaningless trophy. Europa league qualification? Let Torino enjoy such things, this means nothing to me. The only thing in that period that did not disgrace the name Milan is Donna. That’s basically the only true bright spot in this sea of darkness. We have had other decent players, and many of them with true heart, but in terms of quality Donna is the only one that could’ve played in Ancelloti’s Milan. So, you ask me whether he’s… Read more »
No, the fact is all this media fuss is due to his behavior off the field, never due to his skills on the field. In short, overrated.
U wanna talk about pride? Van basten, milan’s very own messi/cr7. Now thats pride personified. And he never pulled this crap despite being courted by cruyff and his barca dream team. And no donna wouldnt’ve replaced dida, the winner of anything theres to win in football
Why was there no media fuss over MDS request to leave (to our direct rival nonetheless) ? They care about Donna because he’s precived as a top talent by practically anyone who makes money off of Italian football. From Conti to the last reporter at the football-Italia
Because de judas plays it cool. if he pulled something like Donna does hr’d be castrated too
Honestly if we get someone like James I don’t see big risk in doing so. Sure he’s over 70m but milan will get that back by his image and shirt sales alone. Guy is followed by millions all over the world and he’s proven, always has performed well. Whatever money we spend on Jim will be earned back and also bringing him in attracts more players and fans. If we were to get him and calhanoglu then that would just be insane
We are AC MILAN. We are no juventus roma napoli lazio who sell their golden players for any price. If you want a release clause you are free to join these lackey clubs.

Comment: I think we have to allow this whole saga to cool off… if donnaruma renew his contract after the Euro -U21 fine, but if not milan will always remain milan. However, there are also good goalkeeper’s out there waiting for milan to make pronouncements.
Well, Gigio, the Euros are over for you – time to take care of business back home.
Im sure this saga affected donnarumma but man he had a terrible euros.. U go to real and have pressure on u n play that bad u better enjoy the bench. Or regain the love from milan n be urself again
I agree – he looked totally out of it. I am wondering if we should be giving him 5 mil per year. Don’t get me wrong, he is great and will most likely do great but I think Milan shouldn’t be paying him that much. I actually hope they offer him 2 mil per year now. With how the Euros went, not many teams will be interesting in him. And it would teach him a lesson and of course his pig agent should be blamed. He should have signed for 5mil when he was offered it and go to Euros… Read more »
Italy’s under-21 campaign is over and despite the talent in the squad, it was obvious from our first match that they were not good enough to win it. Most of the blame is on Di Biaggio as he showed that he’s an incompetent coach but in my opinion some of the players also under-performed starting with our own Donnarumma. Overall, he conceded some goals that he used to save week in week out in Serie A. In this tournament every ball that came his way he didn’t say no. It was to be expected though, as it’s impossible for an… Read more »
I didn’t think Donna had a bad game against Spain, not great, but no real mistakes either. Had a great stop from short range against Delu, but was a bit late in 2 and 3 goal. Our defense was terrible, and I agree completely, Rugani was a mess. But our very own Calabria looked out of place so many times, just like everyone else in the 2nd half. Really disappointing performance from an Italian defense (Juve vs Real all over again). I have to say Conti also looked bad in the games I saw, especially in defense. The fact that… Read more »
Dude, Conti and Berardi were suspended for this match as they had accumulated too many yellow cards, otherwise they would have definitely played. Maybe I watched a different tournament but Conti was impressive both in attack and in defense. He’s really good. On Donnarumma’s performance, he conceded 6 goals in 4 matches from a total of 10 shots on target. That alone should tell you something. Of course he couldn’t save them all, but I believe he should have easily saved the first and third goals of the Czechs, and Spain’s second goal too, while on his best day he… Read more »
Didn’t know about Conti’s suspension; I had a feeling it was something like this. Thanks for the info. Did you watch Italy vs. Germany? Every German attack came from his side, because he was late to return to his position. We already have Calabria who can do that. Mind you, I’m only speaking about that game alone, but he was horrible (despite our clean sheet). Regarding your 6 goals out of 10 shot stat – I don’t believe it. There must have been 10 shots on goal in the German and Spanish game alone. Your source must be unreliable to… Read more »
That Donnarumma stat is all over the internet. Search it. I may be against Donnarumma for his off-field behavior, but I’ve always been pro-Donnarumma when it comes to his goalkeeping abilities. So having watched all our matches, when I say he had a disastrous tournament by his own standards, believe me, it’s true. Deulofeu we have to agree to disagree. I know some see him as a good player, but I don’t. It’s just my personal opinion. I think there are plenty of better wingers on the market. I was so frustrated with him when he played for Milan I… Read more »
Fair enough. I hope I’m wrong about Conti.
Donnaruma’ U21 performances were total disaster. He conceded 4 goals out of last 5 goals because he was too slow to react or to go down… 5mil? Give me a break!!
He just shipped another 3 goals against Spain.
Since mostly everyone is bashing Gigio I want to remind you that our biggest legend Maldini made mistakes as well and he was forgiven by most. Some remembered though and jeered him at his last game. Regardless of that, he still is a legend and if Donnarumma stays his whole career with Milan he will become a legend, regardless of that people on here say. “Thanks captain. On the pitch you were an undying champion but you had no respect for those who made you rich,” read one of the banners prepared by Ultras. “For your 25 years of glorious… Read more »
Do u even know what his “mistake” was?
Donna was not at his best, but the defense (mostly Rugani, but also Caldara) were the real culprits.
Milan10, yes I know what his mistake was. The end result is that he was jeered by his own fans after giving his whole life to them – must have been pretty significant mistake, don’t you think? Stop acting like you know it all, most of your posts contribute very little here.
Really? So what was it?
July 3rd. No more donnadrama after that date or i’ll know new mgmt dont have balls to do whats necessary
LOL – and how “you” determine what is necessary? You have no clue what’s going on behind closed door… They just spend TONS of money to buy Milan and so far spent a lot more on new players than Milan had in a long while so they are doing excellent job and showing plenty of balls.
Again, ever heard of fc Hollywood? That’s exactly what Milan are right now
Sell him man, if someone bids 30-40 mil for him. We can use the money better.
His heroics at euros have further substantiated the fact that, He isn’t as good as he is made out to be.
Plus I don’t trust his mental state to protect our goal after all this fiasco.
He will get hounded for every mistake now and I don’t think he can handle it anymore.
Sorry Donna I think you just bit more than you could chew.
I don’t trust your mental state either – does it matter? No, just like it doesn’t matter what you say about Donnarumma. It’s awesome entertainment reading comments here. LOL
I don’t know n from d look of things nobody can predict d outcome of dis dollaruma drama but from d whole drama it’s obvious dat dollaruma is not worth d hype! He’s got talent like pato had but realising it is a big question! He definitely is not worth 5m annually! Ink or milan 10 put a defence for fatiolla on age n skills not being a condition, it’s clear dey ain’t administrators becos anybody can have talent and if clubs pay any amount for a talent, then all talents would be super millionaires, even Madrid n Barca buy… Read more »
From Aubameyang to Morata and Belotti then Kalinic and now we get Borini on a loan with option to buy LOOOOOL and they call this a project to make Milan one of the best clubs again WHAT A JOKE
Whut? Borini? Wtf?
So we ran out of money after the unnecessary transfers, or exactly wtf happened?
Borini and Calchaneglu wuut?
Despite this slug claiming the situation not to be about money, funny that it’s his preference not to renew more than the player, then he’s suddenly whoring him around for a big money move. Only coincidence of course he’d be due for a fat agents fee from the signing on, far more than is Donna for to renew. All this deflection and foreshadowing is as transparent as if comes, he’s a greedy slug who wouldn’t know veracity if it jumped up and bit him.
