Crikey, no fit striker one week before start of season!
They will all be ready for next week minus Ibra
it’s time like these that makes u wonder how could maldini/massara could get suso 2.0 with better goalscoring prowess for mere < 8m. bravissimo messias
This pre season is really in favor of junior messias just hope he continues this good form of he’s in seria a. HT. 1-4. FT it should be. 1-9
Someone please help a brother here.. how many goals messias have this pre season ?? I think 5 or 6. Not sure that’s why I’m asking
4 goals
This match ought to remind the powers that be how many holes there still are in the squad! Theo got a nasty knock (no decent backup) Tonali limped off ( still no replacement for Kessie) No fit striker available This summer we hoped to keep Roma and Kessie, not possible, so difficult to replace All through last season we needed a rw, am and striker. We brought in 2 AM There are serious holes in the squad Some people here keep saying, relax, be patient, bla bla bla We had sanches in our pocket until all the delays. Only in… Read more »
You always panic alot
lmao milan just won 6-1 and this edgy uninitiated is complaining about the squad. classic.
other than maignan whose distribution was a bit off and calabria who got dribbled past way too easily today, everyone else did their job well, including rebic as st.
regarding rw, like i said when i talked about suso, a winger needs to be good dribbler and/or is fast. cdk, adli, brahim, rebic hell even origi can play there.
Ok mr. Uninitiated, were you at san siro last season? I was! According to your analysis Rebic is our back up lw, striker and rw, neat trick! Lets deal with facts please Did we need better cover for theo – yes Were Roma and Frank vital players who now need replacing – yes Have we needed rw for years – yes Have we needed a proper forward in their prime yes No injured journey man Origi is not it nor is 36yo Giroud who struggles for fitness. Lets not mention Ibra The only hole we filled this summer is AM,… Read more »
“were you at san siro last season? I was!” lmao, what kind of stupid argument is this? it wouldnt take u so much time (which definitely you have too much of) and money to go to italy. i had to travel by plane for 16 hours to go to san siro back then. “According to your analysis Rebic is our back up lw, striker and rw, neat trick!” he is. he’s proven to be reliable st when called upon (topscorer in 19/20, 2nd topscorer in 20/21). and he’s excellent rw (in wc 18) and am (at milan and frankfurt). he’s… Read more »
The argument you numpty is you continue your uninitiated nonsense when you haven’t even seen them play, i have. Of course we can play all sorts of players in all sorts of positions, it doesn’t make them suitable or good enough. It also doesn’t make up for depth If next week we have no tonali we have no midfield etc etc etc Why would u argue that we don’t need to replace important players Anyway its enough said when you compare Origi to Nunez and Lukaku lol!!! Thats why klopp never played him and spent a fortune on Nunez. You… Read more »
“you haven’t even seen them play, i have.” lmao, im pretty sure boban (then worked for fifa) didnt live in milan, let alone attended milan matches at san siro when he viciously but accurately dissected milan condition. did it make his knowledgeable opinion any less valid because he didnt watch the games live? or do u actually think what u saw at san siro was different from what milanisti worldwide watched at home? the fact that u think this way clearly shows that either ur dumb beyond belief or ur just worse troll than sheva a.k.a. perfect10. “Of course we… Read more »
Sure when Bakayoko and Krunic start against a good team like inter, juve or Liverpool, see what happens!
uh, you DO know that kruniesta DID play vs juve AND vs inter on regular basis last season, right? and btw milan won head to head record vs both teams in serie a.
see, this is precisely why i keep saying that you need to talk about milan10ian FACHTS when you talk about football, in particular milan
Have you been watching your almighty Inter matches lately? They lost again 2-4 to Villarreal today. What makes you think they or Juve are ahead of us? We only pray for injuries not to be serious so they don’t affect the form of our players. We’ll win the scudetto again this season whether you believe it or not
When have i ever mentioned inter?
We have a chance at scudetto but unlikely given the current holes. Lets see if they get filled.
Your the one who thinks we can win the CL, so clearly you don’t understand the different levels involved.
I for one believe that had we kept playerz like Roma and Kessie and signed 3 High class players at rw, am and striker maybe we could challenge in Europe.
Thats why i hate to see these fleeting moments wasted, so close to being top class again, finally. Cant keep losing players
You’ve mentioned inter multiple times and how much better they did in the Mercato than Milan.
