The leader of the Curva Sud – Luca Lucci – has published his thoughts regarding the start to the summer transfer window that the club have had.
Milan have been the busiest of the top Serie A clubs having already made six signings with a seventh to follow once Samuel Chukwueze gets announced, having undergone his medical today and greeted the fans.
Marco Sportiello and Luka Romero joined on free transfers while fees of between €15-25m were paid out for each of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, Tijjani Reijnders and most recently Noah Okafor.
It means that Milan – having cashed in on the sale of Sandro Tonali for a club-record fee – have been a lot more busy than their potential title rivals for next season, and they could do even more business yet.
Lucci published a post on his Instagram speaking on behalf of the Curva and expressed a positive outlook on how the summer transfer campaign has gone so far.
“In, out, bla… bla… bla.. Curva here… Curva there… you dispute… do… say… maybe today you will shut your mouth, pseudo Milan ‘tifosotti’ because only one thing is certain,” he began.
“We haven’t seen a Milan that moved so well on the market for years, targeted signings, promising young players, experienced champions, European market, a market that finally does not see its jewels go away for free but rather monetises more than it should, however sad it may be, finally no soap operas but concreteness!
“We asked for the leap in quality after the first purchases, we trusted you with a ‘carry on like this’, today it is clear that the path taken has never been more satisfying!
“We were certain that strong corporate moves must then be supported by facts and so it was!! Now last word to the field…. And dear Milan, the market is still long FORWARD SO united until death. Talk is zero.”

The Leader has spoken.
Leader of what? He’s not Obama, he’s not Gandhi. If this is the kind of guy you want to follow, that’s sad for all mankind.
I don’t know if you go to the stadium, but besides the nice work they do for the big games, you would avoid this bunch of spoiled drunk loud guys throwing empty glass bottles around, parading as if they own the place, singing “Interista vaffanculo” every two minutes when we play Verona or Lazio or any team as if they were in kindergarten. The very same guys that disrespected Maldini for his last game. You might not like Maldini as a director, but as a player he was the greatest to ever wear la maglia del Milan. That was a disgrace and a huge embarrassment at the time.
Wow. You seem to have a lot to say for someone on here, when they dispute what Maldini did. I think Maldini was fine signing players, but his management of players contracts was some of the worst I’ve ever seen.
We lost out serious money with Kessie, Hakan and others that left on free transfers out.
Then you guys put up a fit when management signs players intelligently to address key issues by saying we’re signing too many players.
Na, I’m sorry, but you put one man over Milan.
Man are you paid for patrolling the comment section and intervene every time someone disagrees with you? I don’t care what you think, you’re not in my head even if you try to pretend so. With your “you guys” as if you’re the chosen one who enlighten the world with your absolute understanding of things. If you apply for the position of Curva Sud leader, I’ll vote for you bro.
proves my point. If something gets fixed, you find something else to complain about.
So there is no point in even discussing anything with you, because your whole point on this website is to complain. Have fun.
Man are you bipolar or something? There is no discussion, you’re just offensive every time I comment. I don’t know which one of your points I proved, since you seem to prove a point in every comment, but if I can make you even more self-satisfied that you usually are, I’m glad.
The purpose of the comment section is to share opinions, and in case you didn’t notice, on this website or the Internet or life in general, people don’t always have the same views. You won’t get a trophy in the end bro but I would give you a hug, you seem to need some human contact.
Lol. He mad.
That’s exactly what he is, he represents the fans, do you have the privilege to communicate with the club leaders directly? Have you spoken to one of the players? Do you get invited to club meetings? No? Well this man does. He speaks for the fans so keep quiet. Also Obama was a trashbag and needs to be hung for what he did to Libya.
He’s better than you, he watches Milan, he knows about the wins in the corporate sector, he also knows Milan is bigger than any player and we are moving in the right direction
but AC Maldini fangirls like you would rather get relegated with Maldini than win with Furlani
Now we all know why they were silent when Tonali was sold.
This is the leader you support?
– In 2009, the year that Lucci became the leader of the Curva Sud, he was arrested and convicted for assaulting Virgilio Motta, an Inter fan, at the February derby. Motta lost an eye as a result of Lucci’s punches. Lucci received a jail sentence of four years and six months, the five year DASPO ban, and a fine of €140,000 was ordered to be paid by he and other defendants, although it was never paid. Meanwhile, three years later to the day, the Inter fan hung himself.
– In June of 2018, both Luca Lucci and the head of Inter’s stewards were amongst 22 people arrested for drug trafficking charges after 600 kilos of marijuana, hashish, and cocaine were seized. This was part of a case known as the “Mongolfiera” investigation that began in 2016.
– March of 2019 saw an attempted murder of Enzo Anghinelli, a drug trafficker, which opened up a new investigation of the criminal activities involving Lucci. Although in that investigation only four kilos of marijuana were seized, “The Clan 1899” was amongst €1 million of Lucci’s assets seized by police in June of 2019. Prosecutors in this case against him deemed him “a person potentially capable of placing large loads of drugs among the stadium-goers thanks to his charismatic role as leader of the Curva Sud” and also his “collaboration with subjects of high criminal depth.”
– With continued efforts and collaborations between multiple anti-drug and other law enforcement groups, they were finally able to gather the evidence they needed via encrypted chats and make the arrests this month. Lucci was amongst eight arrested or charged in conjunction with drug trafficking again on December 17th of this year (2021). Of the eight involved, Lucci and six others are active members of the Curva Sud.
– Lucci has had business connections with those involved in Calabrian and other mafia groups, as well as other convicted criminals and even a Juventus fan group that has been involved in criminal proceedings for extortion. Unlike his predecessor, Lombardi, who had the decency to bow out as head of the Curva Sud when he was arrested for drug dealing, Lucci has continued to utilize “The Clan 1899” as not only the Curva’s headquarters, but also as a center of operations for drug and other criminal operations. Other members of the Curva Sud have also been involved at various levels of drug trafficking in relation to Lucci’s activities.
Source?
Just Google the name and you’d see all the reputation.
If you are going to level strong accusations against someone on a public forum, it’s standard journalistic protocol to be courteous enough to quote your sources so interested parties have references. In this case, you seem to be publishing hearsays. Thank you. I’ll now go ahead and google the name.
Personally i wasnt aware of it previously or at least couldnt remember it but you can easily find something by start looking this up.
Milan ultra leader jailed for drug trafficking offences.
and then you can afterwards start searching for his name combined with crimes and find more thorough articles on the matter,
i found several articles on the matter and ibrahim ba isnt the only person mentioning it in this article thread.
Personally i dont care about him smuggling hashish but it seems like he is in knee deep from what i can see as there are worse offenses as well.
Regardless of his crimes luccis post isnt constructive quite the contrary as its devicsive and clearly he isnt speaking for all milanistas with that condecending and self contradictonary post of his. Either way he can say whatever he wants to but so can every other milanistas around without being lesser fans than him.
@Martin Bernhard
Yup it’s nothing new actually. And I believe SempreMilan here once posted about one of the crime news.
@EzrGy
My bad. It supposed to be a quote as I got it from an article, but this comment doesn’t have a quotation function. This is the article. And it’s a good read.
http://www.milanobsession.com/2021/12/beneath-red-and-black-dark-side-of.html
They post anything related to ac milan and often posts several of the same news stories from various outlets over several days even though its the same story rehashed with small variations due to different editors. Besides of that i would take great offense if they posted his comment that antagonized fans while not covering his crime story but yeah i agree it must have been covered previously here on sempremilan as well.
Anyways i also fell over that article you lined ill give it a further study as i skimmed through it at first,
Much better than the leaders you support and make your presidents buddy if you have a problem with that why don’t you go support someone a club in your home country Mr Ba.
Daaaaamn!!!!
In one post, guy called out Maldini for his incompetence, working without a plan, and creating unnecessary drama, while at the same time calling out Maldini cult followers “pseudo Milanisti”.
I’m glad the leader has spoken, especially considering what we have to deal with when reading some of the idiotic takes on this page. Set them straight.
Funny the fact that ‘Milan that moved so well in the market’ is only because the sale of Tonali. I can’t remember who convinced and bought Tonali for merely 15 mil back then. Such a short term memory.
Tonali was signed for 20 mil.
Tonali was convinced to sign for Milan because he was a Milan fan since he loved Gattuso.
Tonali only signed for Milan after Conte forced inter to drop Tonali who had personal terms agreed with inter.
A lot of our fans want to sweep that little fact under the rug.
Also, Donnarumma was signed for 250k and probably worth 70 mil when Maldini lost him for free.
That money could have financed a mercato as well.
The 3 other players Maldini lost for free also could have helped in financing our mercatos if sold on time.
You are absolutely right about short memories.
4 years we begged for a RW and after Maldini neglected that position, 4 weeks after he was fired we got our RW.
5 mil initial loan fee. With around 25-30 mil (different source different numbers, fixed fee & bonus combined) buy option exercise back then. We ended up with 15 mil. And it is the official and separate signing fee as it happened after the buy option was expired. Who’s responsible to get that bargain deal?
Cellino (Brescia President), August 28th 2020
“I appreciated Maldini’s seriousness, which confirms the historic one of Milan. I don’t add anything else because I don’t want to be inappropriate. Marotta? He has always confirmed Inter’s strong interest in the player.”
Perinetti (Brescia SD), October 11th 2020
“Our president understood that the negotiation had to be conducted at another level and therefore he found an agreement directly with Paolo Maldini and in a few days, he sorted everything. A brilliant operation with benefits for all parties involved.”
Cellino (Brescia President), January 10th 2022
“I could have sold him for three times as much to Barcelona, then to Inter. But it was right to give him to Maldini, who did well. I gave up on money that I would have needed, but I had a debt of gratitude with Milan and I paid it off,”
–
Did Inter really lose Tonali because of Conte? Not really. And in fact, that might something that Inter fans said just to make their heart content.
Cellino (Brescia President), October 11th 2020
“Inter acted in the wrong way. Beppe Marotta wanted him and Antonio Conte loves him. The clubs that appeared were rejected precisely because the Nerazzurri were there. But the boy also wanted to know his future,”
Di Marzio, October 15th 2020
“Inter would have signed him, then they saw that there was no longer the possibility of making that type of investment and gave up,”
Conte forced Inter to drop Tonali? Please.. Many also said Conte prefered Vidal? Vidal almost costed nothing to Inter (1 mil), compared to Tonali who would cost in sum of 30-35 mil. Where’s the logic in that? It’s crystal clear that they simply didn’t have the money to complete the deal at that time.
And some would also went as far as Tonali had agreed personal terms with Inter? With Brescia they might have, but with the player? Well, let’s see the fact.
Tonali, November 6th 2021
“Did Inter want me? These are details that even I don’t know. I had detached myself from everything and knew nothing.”
–
I don’t wanna go in the Donna’s (and perhaps also Kessie’s) case as it has been discussed here time and time again with lots of point of views.
Arturo Vidal salary cost inter more than Tonali’s transfer.
Conte wanted an experienced midfielder and they got him.
They couldn’t afford both.
Come threatened to leave inter if they didn’t get him what he wanted.
Inter couldn’t afford both so decided Vidal over Tonali. That’s why di Marzio said they didn’t have the possibility of making that investment.
Also, why do you think that Cellino said that inter acted in the wrong way, because it was almost all agreed and they changed their mind. Same that is happening with Kamda and Milan.
It wasn’t inter fans spreading those rumors.
Fabrizio Romano
“Sandro Tonali to AC Milan, confirmed and it’s a done deal: here we go! Agreement reached for a loan with buy option from Brescia. Personal terms agreed today. Inter are out of the race after having an agreement with Tonali since April.
2:00 PM · Aug 30, 2020.
Tonali had personal terms agreed with inter for over 4 months before he signed with Milan.
The great milanista that everyone is crying about leaving, was all set to sign with inter and then Conte changed inter plans, just like Pioli changed Milan plans about Kamada.
and who lost Kessie, Dollarumma, Hakan and Romagnoli on a free? You LOOOOVE forgetting that
when that happened the excuse was ‘oH eVeRy cLuB lOsEs pLaYeRs oN a fReE, iT iS nEw aGeNt tAcTiC’
piss off
Yeah so many players left on free transfers under Maldini, like Kessie, that we didn’t capitalize on. Maldini may have signed a couple of nice players, but when it came to selling he had no idea what he was doing.
He stood up to agents and players and forced players to stick to their contractual commitments which actually played a key part in building the sort of attitude that was key to our success – and yes we were successful.
This is meaningless drivel. He lost multiple players we could have sold on free transfers. He cost this team financially. Kessie should have been sold, but instead left on a free transfer because of Maldini’s incompetence in that regard. No, he failed this team in that regard.
If all you care about is money.
He helped deliver the Scudetto.
And a big part of that was building an ethos into the squad the likes of which we hadn’t seen since he retired as a player.

And had we sold Kessie, Kessie wouldn’t have helped us win the league.
yeah then why is he complaining last season that Milan has no money when he literally threw it down the toilet 4 times in 1 year?
👀👀🍿🍿
🔥
Curva sud is funny sometimes(They think they are serious though 😀 ). I remember the same group protesting on Maldini during his final game on some past incidents.
Can’t wait for them to turn on the very same players if they struggle to integrate into the side.
I think we have done very well despite the sale of tonali and the sacking of maldini so there is some points to be taken but he really should shut the F up in the regard calling people pseudo fans as its downright idiotic because people travel across the world to see the club to play while some of those tossers just walk down the street with fire works chanting songs and they have many times before shown to be a bunch of suckups to the ownerships when they should have been loud and roaring like lions. But they simply benefitted having a close relationship with for example berlusconi.
Boohed maldini when he retired because he expressed unhappiness with them when they lost the cl final against liverpool when they actually most of all needed their support.
Had a big impact on seedorfs sacking.
Was generally quiet in the banter era.
Dont get me wrong i love some of their stuff but often they have been far to weak for someone who are supposed to be the toughest of the tough of the fans, Ultras 😀 sometimes i would prefer real hooligans than those self entitled MF’ers but keep up making great art flags that is at least something you are good at.
Very well said, spot on. So expected from him to speak like that, they hold a grudge against Maldini.
Let’s not forget that these guys were idiots enough to insult one of the most iconic players of all times in his last game. The entire football world including our worst opponents saluted Maldini apart from a bunch of idiots. That says enough about their quality.
These guys are the last ones to call the rest of the Milanisti. They have a long bad, negative history which goes beyond their (proven) bias against Maldini.
Always toxic, shady, a disgrace to the club. Zero respect regardless of his opinion (now or ever).
Thanks, yeah its pretty damn silly and disgracefull what they did back then and i agree the rest of the football world was appauled by that behaviour, I still from time to time has to listen to other football club fans bringing it up when meeting in person and not many cares about ac milan where i live.
I’ll give them that they make great art works and contributes to the stadium atmosphere but they really isnt in a position to point fingers either considering their past behaviour on various matters.
I do also find his post rather self contradictory as he openly bash fans as pseudo fans and then in the end says “united til death” He basically dug a trench by his post and acts like he did the opposite and that when most fans of the club has moved onwards from a disapointing june and is now fairly excited about the mercato.
Good and bad decisions are made, but the Curva is an important part of the clubs identity and history. When the pyro and the displays stop, we have lost something that’s hard to get back. Furthermore, you say you’d prefer real hooligans, but I doubt you’d be willing to call a random ultra a self entitled “MF’er” to his face. Just because someone don’t fight your wars, it doesn’t mean he isn’t a warrior.
I also aknowledged that they contribute to the atmosphere and of course they are part of the clubs history and yes pyrotechnics would be missed. Dont be so sure ive messed with bikers and other lunatics, ive also been stabbed twice and convicted of violence against the cops but sure most people propably wont stand by what they say here but even though im generally a peacefull type i will fight if necessary. Either way lucci was rude himself so doesnt really care if i hurt his feelings.
I wasn’t implying that you wouldn’t stand by your words if somehow hypothetically confronted, just saying that I doubt you’d risk a fight by calling a random ultra self entitled and telling him to quote-on-quote “stick to what he’s good at” to his face. Point being that, while maybe not “real hooligans” in your eyes, many ultras are NTBFW. As said, good and bad decisions are made, but if you want the “great art flags”, you gotta take the Curva. Good and bad.
Thats fair enough amilanfan and i was also just implying that it sometimes would have been good having someone more active when it was actually needed, but i deffently think his post was self contradictory as i explained in my 2nd post and he pretty much dug a trench by making his post while saying “united til death” while creating an unecessary devide that sorta had started to heal.
I simply see no point in his post as nothing good would come out of it.
@post below: Seems like we hit a reply limit. I can relate to your frustration about the Curvas actions not aligning with what ones own expectations are, but opinions are bound to differ sometimes. The Maldini boohing, I won’t get into, but Seedorf have not yet reached top level and during the so-called ‘banter-era’ we were a clown club. There was nothing to defend. Shiptalking on the internet is not the job of the ultras, it’s ours. 😉 I do agree that the post seem hostile and a bit unnecessary. I also find it odd that he would end his message with “talk is zero”, which negates his own words. It is what it is, though. I see you got your hands full. Cheers.
What i would defend in regard of seedorf was actualy we did show some signs of improvements in a really bad time and that he wanted to revamp the squad at an earlier stage which could have fastened the process of our return. Yeah i agree his “talk is zero” negated his own words as well. Either way he can say whatever he wants to say but so can we. Anyways cheers to you as well.
agree, i was about to say something similar with you.
and you also added more spot on
Thanks bob, yeah even though he can say whatever he wants to part of his comment was nothing but counter productive as i see it.
Always and forever fock the curva
Well at least all this pretending like they liked Maldini can end now. Disrespectful bunch
Like I always said, have faith, let the new management do what they do and judge afterwards. So far the team looks better than last season and I have a lot of faith. Excited for new season.
FORZA MILAN ⚫️🔴
Spot on. this doesn’t mean we already won 2024 serie A. far from that. Lets hope the new guys gives us the quality we need. Last time Milan spend over a 100 mil went really wrong for us compare to the expectations. 2017. Bonucci, A Silva, Conti, Calhanoglu, Biglia, Musacchio, Kalinic
Just take a look at the players we signed now in contrast to what we signed back then. The gulf in quality is evident. It’s nothing the same.
i wouldnt compare this mercato with that 2017 one but back then there was also great excitement but even if this one theoretically whent bad its not even half as much money invested as back then so it cant hardly go as bad as that one did and the investments are smaller on each player so they come with a smaller risk,
Either way im excited about the mercato up untill now at least.
If you’re trying to tell me Biglia (who TF spends money on a 34 year old midfielder is beyond me, oh wait Mirabelli and Fassone did!), Musacchio and Kalinic are the same level of excitement as the players we’ve signed now you’re joking with me.
People back then expressed a lot of doubt over these players. Kalinic in particular was quite bad. Hakan was good in bursts, and then started to fade away as his time with Milan went on.
Just compare and contrast and get back to me.
No you are misreading what im saying here as i was pretty much just saying this are more shrewd business and even if they didnt pan out as hoped they wouldnt be as financially detrimental as those back in 2017 were to the club.
I have been pretty clear many times that im excited about several of those players we have brought in this summer.
Then why do people bring up 2017? I mean there is spending smartly, and then there is spending money stupidly. And we didn’t deficit spend at all this summer. In the end, there may be very little deficit spending beyond Tonali being sold. If I did my math right we’re still at the even point even with Chukwueze being signed.
If management can offload some players, then we may be very well balanced in the end.
I brought it up because you had just replied to a comment mentioning it and this business done this summer regardless whether i dislike tonalis sale is actually pretty good.
up untill now we’ve spend 69 mil without the chukwueze transfer included
sold for 64 mil so we run with a 5 mil deficit
Absolutely right. Alll the people on here killing Cardinale before even waiting to see should apologize. They have done very well and selling Tonali was a brilliant move for this team.
Pseudo Milanista lol where he and the whole curva when berlusconi selling the best players to add money for his party’s?.and then selling the team to the Chinese and almost bankrupt the team? Also Maldini sure he was new to this job but you really could keep him and just put him as a scouter or better yet an assistant to the sporting director so you would put more experienced SD and keep massara and moncada as scouts. He and massara bring 80% of the team success with one two three setbacks you can’t just kick them right away. That’s all I’m saying also it was true we needed more transfer budget but they probably said that we needed to sell one of the key players and maldini being realistic didn’t want that
Pseudo Milanisti “Tifosotti” 🤣🔴⚫️
It sounds like he’s being a sycophant. Regardless of their history, let’s be fully aware here that our midfield is weaker than last season and much weaker than the scudetto season. What was once Kessie-Tonali-Bennacer (world class) is now Krunic-RLC-Reijnders. That is a backwards step however you look at it. Let’s just get that clear…KRUNIC is now a starter! When three years ago he was 4th choice utility guy…let that sink in.
The signings have been decent but every single one of them is a gamble in some way. We aren’t signing Gundogan or Vinicius here are we…the management are on charm offensive, they sacked Maldini and sold the club captain elect, they had to react, this is the reaction. I still don’t trust this management in the long run. They have a lot to prove. Okafor is a player I like but is he just the new Leao before Leao is sold? Soften the blow? They will sell our big 3. Mike, Theo and Rafa.
I urge peolle to think for themselves and not just justify it because the curva said something. Afterall how will they react if Rafa goes next summer?
Let’s see how the season goes, so far attack is exciting but at the expense of midfield. Alll signings have been cheap and easy, we need to go up a level and to do so we need a proper midfield player.
A “world class” midfield that could not get out of the UCL groups, but made the semis shorn of “world class” Kessie (who can’t start at Barcelona) with the same Krunic playing a more important role. Krunic a starter now? Maybe, but we’re now playing with THREE MIDFIELDERS and we’re still looking to add another midfielder, and have another on the dressing table until December.
Leao leave next summer? He is under contract until 2028. More likely Theo, who will have 2 years left. Even PSG can’t hold on to their best player(s). Regardless, the money will be reinvested it seems.
Just how is our midfield stronger this summer? Have you ever seen Reijnders play beyond hand picked youtube clips? I know i haven’t, i had never heard of him before we signed him and i doubt you had either.
Loftus Cheek is an injury prone player who has been a benchwarmer at Chelsea for years. You think he replaces Tonali? A man who ran his heart our every game? Kessie is world class, the UCL failure is such an irrelevant argument. This team was young and learning, we had no right side, no squad depth. That midfield did win the scudetto, a fact which you seem to conveniently disregard….
The delusionary nature of fans is incredible. We have a management that is throwing money around on potential, yes potential (I am in favour of all the moves thus far except Loftus Cheek) and to justify it they claim Krunic, Loftus Cheek and Reijnders is a better midfield than Kessie, Tonali and Bennacer……I was one of the few saying Origi was a waste while most were claiming he’d score 20 goals….
going to 433 now is ridiculous even though i prefer it as a foramtion. 4231 allows us to place Chukwueze RW, Leao LW, Pulisic CAM and either Giroud/Okafor up front. I mean play to your strengths…..
I really like the look of Reijnders, but he is a GAMBLE at this stage. So many were claiming CDK was going to be our new Kaka….that was also a GAMBLE. I say stick with CDK, there’s clear talent but let’s not overhype and over expect from these players.
Your ridiculous. Our midfield is stronger right now than last season and they are probably going to add Musah as well which will make it much stronger. First of all Kessie was let leave for Free under Maldini’s and previous management’s watch. Our midfield last season was the weak point of the team, getting bossed by even bottom table teams. And you are acting as if Bennacer is not on the team…he is and he will be back. So really the only missing piece from last season is Tonali, and they have replaced him with 2 quality players and another to follow, so yes they are stronger in the midfield than last season.
Add to that that they have upgraded the attack as well with Pulisic, Okafor and Chukuwueze.
The team is undeniably stronger and deeper than last year’s squad, if you can’t see that it’s just because you are sore about Maldini and Tonali being gone.
stronger? pulisic could be good for assist but i doubt he would help us with goals rlc only provide us getting ez fouls not enough assist nor goals reijndiers has to prove himself romero is it gonna stay? chuk can be good tbh sportielo already done deal by maldini okafor has to prove himself pobega gonna play 20-25 games bennacer 2nd half for this season florenzi and kjaer prolly 10? 13? games soooooo no musah if we get him first overpaid and unproven so rn the midfield quality starts from the beginning rate: ??? they should have gotten hjulmand dominguez reijnders and florentino louis or ibrahima sangare samuele ricci ???? rebic origi messias the are gonna stuck like samu suso borini were
This is nonsensical. Have you ever seen Reijnders even play? Have you seen any of these players even play? Kjaer isn’t even a starter. What are you even ranting about? I don’t even know. It makes absolutely no sense.
And right now, it doesn’t appear the negotiations for Musah are going anywhere.
Then you name equally unproven players in your rant. Ricci? The same Ricci that plays for a team that constantly gets steamrolled by other teams in the Serie A? If you’re going to attack Musah for being inexperienced don’t fall back on a guy who plays for a 10th place team.
Sure unproven ricci but did u see the past two seasons how he played on empoli and Torino? The place doesn’t mean much. He had good control of the ball and good tackling makes him future valueble CDM. Musah? He’s not playing as CM for too long he’s original position is RM/RW but he can’t score he has to prove himself if we get him also the management has verbal agreement with his agent and Valencia want 23-25 m and I’m saying if they want him so much get him but … He’s unproven same as ricci but ricci has way more serie a exp than musah rlc Reijnders combine. OK scratch ricci what about hjulmand and Dominguez? Are they good enough? For me yh also low cost for both of them and if we have a little more money we can get them both because they are on the last year of their contract so 10 m at max should be enough for each of them so 20 m for experienced serie a players. Reijnders could be good option but has to prove himself he’s kinda like bennacer but he has to show that now in the new team he is in
Empoli and Torino are two awful teams. Why are you going after Musah who played in Valencia which is a better team than Empoli and Torino? I mean you can’t even be serious here.
Milan is looking at other midfielders. They’re the ones with the scouts. Gourna-Douath for one. I think this management has proven they can scout players.
I don’t think you have ever seen Pulisc play. He is a big upgrade on the RW, AM, or on LW to give Rafa a rest, meaning we don’t have to rely on Leao to create everything. And Musah at 20 years old is already playing in LA Liga and starting for his country in the World Cup. He’s better than Tonali now. We have more quality depth in attack and midfield than last season
Pulisic is a huge upgrade on the RW in particular and so is Chukwueze.
The way I See thing is some complain about things. They get fixed. Then they find something else to complain about. It’s never ending.
I mean this guy was complaining about Gabbia not being replaced.
Better than tonali???? Also I said pulisic could be good for assisting in CAM position Which he probably gonna play there and don’t tell about national team bro … He’s playing for USA Which they hadn’t play mundial for long time so USA national team isn’t good enough to progress to group stages also in RW Chukwueze is gonna be the first team player meaning second is salamaekers and lw okafor or Romero
Pulisic is going to play as RW and CAM plenty. I don’t even know why this guy is complaining about Pulisic, who is clearly a well proven player. As far as the US is concerned, is it his fault that they aren’t as good as he is?
What about Sweden without Ibrahimovic? Not even half the team.
Saelasmaekers isn’t sticking around. Pulisic will always rotate with Chukwueze.
Milanello200 – How many World Cup matches has Tonali played for his country??? USA did get past the group stages. Maybe you should actually watch some football before you speak because you are making a fool of yourself.
Wait. By this metric, we should DEFINITELY NOT sign ANY Italians. Because Italy has failed to qualify for the world cup how many times now?
also pioli has to use cdk and adli correctly brcause they can be useful but the last season cdk played in his worst posiotion and adli didnt gave him a chance
First of all it is ‘you’re’ but i am being facetious…let me dissect you chronologically;
1. It isn’t just Maldini responsible for players leaving on a free. So much more we don’t see
2. Our midfield wasn’t bad last season. Tonali and Bennacer is world class. What do you count as midfield? in the 4231 the 3 is the attack in my view, you may differ. However the weakness was the one dimensional attack, nothing at CAM, nothing dynamic on the right, and the lack of a decent Giroud back up.
3. Bennacer will not be on the team until January at the earliest, then he needs to get match sharp. totally different to match fit.
4. Please speicify the two ‘quaity’ players we have replaced Tonali with….I assume you mean Reijnders and RLC.
Reijnders – looks great, excellent potential, but you are replacing an expeirenced international with CL expeirence with potentiali. See my CDK point above.
RLC – He is injury prone. He has got to 27 sat on Chelsea’s bench with no other prem club interested. He is not in the league of Tonali.
5. I agree with you on the attack, but once again they are gambles. Pulisic I wasn’t keen on, I think he is decent, however he has been chewed up in the Chelsea poisoned chalice for 3 years, we may get Dortmund Pulisic or Chelsea Pulisic. I hope and suspect the former, but it is a gamble. Romeor again clearly a super talent. He could be a Pato/Kaka, or a CDK….you just don’t know
Chukwueze looks incredibly exciting. You have to factor in a move to a big club, first season setting in, home sickness, things people seem to forget. Same goes for Okafor although i think he is more likely to hit the ground running.
For clarity, i very much approve of Chukwueze and Okafor, Romero and Pulisic is a good singing and i have a lot of positivity around Reijnders. However SMS and Berardi would be instant game changers at CAM and RW. Both seasoned internationals. both serie A experienced.
If you don’t think our midfield was bad last season than either you didn’t watch the games or you don’t know what you are watching when you do. We were getting bossed in the midfield by almost every team we played. Even Milan management knew this was the number one issue they needed to address.
Tonali is a limited player who was overhyped by the Italian media and overrated by Milan fans because he was a boyhood fan of Milan. Yes, a midfield of Bennacer, RLC, Reijnders, Musah (hopefully), Krunic, Pobega is much stronger and deeper than what we had last season. Even if they don’t sign Musah I still would take this midfield over last season’s.
Knocking RLC for not starting at Chelsea is almost as dumb as the people that knock Kessie for not starting at Barcelona. Do you know who Chelsea had in their midfield? Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho, etc.. You think Tonali is getting into that midfield? Tomori was a backup for Chelsea as well and he instantly became our best CB.
And it wasn’t just Kessie that Maldini let leave for free, you can add Calhanoglu and Donnarumma to that list as well. That was bad business and it weakened the team.
It’s kind of hard for the new midfield not to be better than last seasons, because last season midfield was getting outplayed most games by the opposing teams.
How can you tell that our midfield is worse than last season, when you haven’t seen them play yet in a real game and the midfield is not complete yet?
Also, Krunic was a starter for most of the season last year, so I don’t know what needs to sink in, and if he is a starter it will be only temporary until the new midfielder is bought or until Bennacer comes back.
If you go by the names of the players, and because they are not the big names you want, that doesn’t mean they are not quality. If you remember Bennacer. Tonali and Krunic, our starting midfield last season, were all players that came from relegated teams in serie A.
So how is the new midfield worse than last seasons?
Wow. You’re a hyperactive child, and you need to sit down.
“Decent”? And a “gamble”? Every signing is a gamble. From any team. And Gundogan? That guy is way past his best. You’re stuck in the past, and you’re exactly the kind of person that’s the problem on this site.
Bennacer is out long term. Krunic was playing with Tonali. Kessie was lost on a free transfer on MALDINI’S WATCH. It’s always the same with you guys.
What expense of midfield? We’ve signed players for midfield. Okafor wasn’t signed as Leao’s replacement.
So cry about it.
Gundogan way past his time hmm did u watch any match from man city last year any cl? Gundogan show that he isn’t past his time but he did get everything with city sooo he wanted just to move on and join another big team. All of you telling me that am making fool of myself but you giancarlo didn’t watch pl nor cl last year. Of okafor isn’t replacement for leao who said that? Okafor is prolly rebic/ origi replacement because he plays ST LW RW kinda like rebic origi. Like danjuma. We did sign players for the midfield but are they have enough quality to improve the midfield or be better without tonali? Krunic played with tonali hmm you really didn’t watch any match from Milan bro you are embarrassing yourself last year and scudetto year were CM CDM bennacer tonali mostly and when he wanted rotation he puts pobega or vrancx and even bakayoko (last year only) and for CAM last year mostly CDK and brahim but sometimes krunic too but Krunic he mostly played CM when Pioli needed to do rotation. Also Italy only lost like one time in past prolly 20 years one time how many times USA lost spot for mundial/world cup? These people trying to tell that he is way too good to play for USA. Ok why he didn’t stay with Croatia? And try to breakthrough in first eleven ? Because it was way easier to play for USA why ? Because their quality is still not good enough to drop him . These midfield players they brought in aren’t enough to improve to be better without tonali. Because we had very solid duo bennacer tonali Leao Giroud Diaz Theo Calabria kalulu Tomori. The bad thing is that with kalulu the other teams got over with him so tomori kalulu duo got separated so we kinda needed Ndicka or Botman but we don’t know behind the scenes we don’t know singer CEO of Elliott company what he said to maldini you can talk about kessie donnaruma calha leaving but at the same time these two they renew most of the players only leao u know why because he wanted to earn more and it was fair since he was and is our best player. So us having lowest wages from most of top teams we could spend more money in wages to our best players key players not the new ones or mostly rotation players. If Elliott company didn’t have the green light to increase the wages for donnaruma calha kessie maldini can’t do anything about it even if they asked money siger didn’t approve it they couldn’t make the renewals so the players left . But look now tonali was the first player to renew with less money same as giroud theo next Calabria next tomori next bennacer next kalulu next even Krunic and pobega salamaekers too he talked to anceloti to increase the loan for one year he accepted the players that won the scudetto with even with limited budget why you snowflake/ snowflakes cry so much trying to be different I don’t get it maldini had disagreements with curva the way they behave to rival teams fans is it wrong ? Also with redbird because he thought they weren’t serious about this. Also because he wanted to fire pioli why you might ask ? Because he didn’t make risks in first matches of the season to improve the players for pirlo but he (pirlo) didn’t won too much because they thought of him just a caretaker. I don’t believe much on pirlo but we do need to find someone or try to find the perfect chance to get better coach like Spalleti Napoli fan sure but he was inter too and he did earn scudetto at inter soo . Yh we do need depth you and most of these snowflakes we need depth because we are playing so many matches that if we are using for 35-40 matches same players every time their form will 100% dropped because they doesn’t get rest match . Florenzi can’t find form so we kinda needed dest ballo toure he almost but now completely lost his place pioli doesn’t trust him enough same as gabbia can’t find form and at the same time again doesn’t trust him enough for kjaer he gets easily injured and when he comes back doesn’t push enough to be better to trying to provide more . Rebic has bad attitude and always being injured . He started to trust origi but he only scored 2 goals he easily without any pressure rotates sala messias brahim always in cdk too but with cdk we didn’t see good tactics/orders only in the last game he tried something now they wanna sell him and get 7m loss it can’t happen adli didn’t get enough chances but he did have 22 apps for origi tho . Pobega was lost most of the time and he had blessing in random times and scored very good goals Krunic is just a solid backup he can’t be key player and he showed that . We don’t know about sells because the teams that want rebic origi they aren’t willing to match their current wages and they don’t want to go to Saudi Arabia for messias we have Torino but how strong is their interest for sala we don’t have any for now adli we have Lille but again we don’t know how strong their interest is cdk rejected the loan deal to PSV ballo toure again don’t know how strong their interest is from nice and Fulham gabbia got loaned out to Villarreal kjaer I doubt someone wants him same for florenzi soo we are kinda stuck with unwanted players again. At last pulisic is gonna play as CAM and chukwueze as RW because we only have one month to at least sell messias rebic origi adli or cdk to free space so pioli play the new formation he wants to play. But If we can’t he probably gonna have to put the same formation he was using just different players but it’s gonna destroy the teams mentality and their happiness in general mostly in attack and midfield but not all the positions nor all the players just some . Also for the depth idea I don’t mean to spend money without thinking just some players that can provide rotation and rest key players for important matches of the season even brought players from the academy too cheap and easily rotational players
Well since I have been supporting Milan since 1987, i don’t think your rhetoric works does it.
Not every signing is a gamble. Was Haaland a gamble? would Milinkovic-Savic be a gamble? You claim Gundogan is past his best, yet defend the signing of RLC who hasn’t even had a best. Would you rather se RLC or Gundogan starting in the pivot?
It’s always the same with you guys. Maldini’s fault, you clearly have no idea on how a football club is run….Maldini would not have an omnipotent position. If Maldini has stayed, he would have fervently objected to the sale of Tonali. It still wouldn’t have stopped it. Would it then have been Maldini’s fault that Tonali was sold…becuase he didn’t stop it?
What completely undermines you argument, beyond the fact that you feel the need to use petty, immature insults, is that you make claims like ‘Okafor wasn’t signed as Leao’s replacement’
Unless you are Gerry under the pseudonym of Giancarlo, then you have absolutely no idea…
Our midfield have weaker than last season ??? Really ? Do you even watch ACM match ? Last season double pivot get bossed by RLC , get bossed by IM 4 match , dont forget small team too . Pairing tonali – bennacer are bad idea, both are not compatible for double pivot thats why krunic step in and take one slot double pivot as starter. This season ACM want to fix that weakness in midfield by bring reijnders ,RLC,Yunus/dominques also get rid bakayoko & aster ( both have loan ended) . Yunus play style almost similar to kessie , thats the reason why management insist chase him
Yes, watched most matches. I do love the primary argument of the teenager….’Do you even watch ACM matches’…first of all I don’t call them ACM….you should know why, but i suspect there are reasons you don’t.
Are you aware that you are basically claiming that a midfield that hasn’t even played yet is superior to one that won the scudetto and got to the semi final of the CL…..i’ll leave that there…
……and wait
A convicted drug trafficker who always came cheap to bribe. Yet some will take his words as sacred. Funny.
Finally someone splitting fact. And the amazing thing is that he still has the decency to ‘lead’ after all those things. So much of leading by example.
Yeah like your presidents pandering drugs during a fake pandemic
Also, who are the experienced champions he speaks of? 😂😂 I hope he’s not referring to Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek here…if he is then I think all credibility is lost…I remember when signing a champion was Nesta, Savicevic, Bierhoff, Shevchenko or Cafu
gullit van basten ronalidinho beckham . i like the offensive aproach but tje players 5 out of 7 players they brought could be good emphasis to could be but they arent top quality or perfect replacement for tonali kessie calha past giroud era also they need to find replecement for kjaer , gabbia and ballo toure florenzi . also for florenzi and kjaer they talking like they can play most of the games without being injured which is a lie so we need to sign rn LB RB CB CM/CDM and ST ( Calafiori Singo Boey Merlin Kevin Danso Josip Sutalo Maxime Esteve Diego Coppola Truffert Rensch Bella Kotchap strahinja Pavlovic oumar Solet ian maatsen bjorn meijer joao mario joey veerman youssouf fofana maxence caqueret florentino louis ibrahima sangare mohamed camara salis abdul samed samuele ricci morten hjulmand nicolas dominguez alejo veliz (only if they serious about him and not loaned out immidiately) gift orban terem moffi beto santiago gimenez iliman ndiaye. some of them one each position and ill be satisfied personally
This is something of the most incoherent nonsense I’ve read as of late.
What we signed is clearly better than what we had, and most of the signings are either top quality or having that great potential.
And here we still have people talking about Kjaer, Gabbia and Ballo Toure. So you’re talking about a third choice CB, a fourth or fifth choice CB and a second choice LB. And we so desperately need replacements?
JFC. I can’t with people like this.
Then you go off naming about six hundred different players, most of whom are entirely unknown and not even scouted by any team.
You’re talking as if we have signed nobody at all.
Oh and does it appear we’re done signing reinforcements? Does it look like our market is over? Does it look like the transfer season is over?
We’re linked to three or four more players, and are trying to get players to depart. But I’ve never seen someone so much in a scramble in wanting a replacement for a 5th choice CB.
Gundogan way past his time hmm did u watch any match from man city last year any cl? Gundogan show that he isn’t past his time but he did get everything with city sooo he wanted just to move on and join another big team. All of you telling me that am making fool of myself but you giancarlo didn’t watch pl nor cl last year. Of okafor isn’t replacement for leao who said that?

nor pobega or me personally at least
pobega cant be trusted * for me personally
do you really believe a team can compete 3 or more competitions at the same year without having enough depth? we cant rely on kjaer florenzi ballo toure rebic origi messias sala any more dont u get it . also pulisic clearly only play as CAM only in USA national team not in chelsea nor BVB and if u believe that u should follow other sport . also i said pulisic can provide good assist like we saw in these two games and maybe more . also we always got players with great potential the only problem is we dont get 1st team players or replace the older ones also i just name a few that are very exciting players and can be obtain some of them in all the remaining positions they said . also we dont know about sales because it can be difficult to sell them origi and rebic reject saudi arabia and now we have problem with rebic going in turkish league we do need depth that was the problem last year and in scudetto pioli did good rotation with the players and of course the breakthrough of kalulu . for depth we dont need to spend big just trying to find someone like veliz if they believe in him bring he is not gonna cry with little opportunities these type of player with great potential or free players if is someone good avaiable or smart deals like i was mentioned dominguez and hjulmand last yr on contract and they will be cheap but smart deals . but in general just naming some names . at last we need depth , they dont need to spend big but find good deals that can close the gap and have more depth so the key player or just 1st team player can rest so their form doesnt drop and rest so they cant get easily injured with these so many games and for depth they can bring players from academy and play them when you need to rest key player for the upcoming that he need to keep up hes form like zeroli chaka bozzolan or bakoune simic victor eletu cheap players that can provide depth and even put more money if needed for more guarranted names . thats all we do need depth not spending big but just having players to rely on because origi kjaer messias rebic gabbia caldara ballo toure they cant be trusted anymore not even pioli doesnt trust them enough
The only experienced champion is Pulisic. RLC is not part of Chelsea during UCL triumph.
LOL. Ouuuuch. Some a**holes’ a**sholes on this site are burning. Who are the “cowards” now? Where are the usual suspects? You know who you are. I’d like to see you insult Lucci facia a facia.
bro i would insult him right away facia a facia , also question him where he was when hes beloved berlusconi take advantage of the club for his partys and then sold the club to shady chinese owners that almost bankrupt the team
Paolo was in a tough spot. By his name alone, it would help the club enormously if they could present him as one of the “leadership”, but he had previously declined offers to join the club in various capacities and had little experience at top-level. At the time of his appointment, no one really knew which way it was gonna go with the club and I believe it was a question of personal integrity for him. The Maldini name has a certain reputation and being remembered in history as a bought puppet, for some shady owners, is much worse than anything he’s going through right now. He wanted decision-making power. If you don’t make the final decision, it is impossible to make a promise and it’s difficult to give a straight answer and honor your word. – His departure wasn’t optimal, but I don’t think that will change his love of the colors and it shouldn’t overshadow our love for a legend. Forza Milan per sempre.
If you’re trying to tell me Biglia (who TF spends money on a 34 year old midfielder is beyond me, oh wait Mirabelli and Fassone did!), Musacchio and Kalinic are the same level of excitement as the players we’ve signed now you’re joking with me.
People back then expressed a lot of doubt over these players. Kalinic in particular was quite bad. Hakan was good in bursts, and then started to fade away as his time with Milan went on.
Just compare and contrast and get back to me.
Ignore the above message, that was somehow posted twice.
But it just goes to my point… if something gets fixed, people just move onto something else to complain about it. It seems nothing can please some.
I get it, you want to find something to show to everyone “AHHH LOOK AT THIS THEY AREN’T FIXING THIS” on here.
Maybe Football Manager might be a good game for you to play?

when i have issues with my post and it says ive for example posted too quickly i use one of my mouse buttons to go backwards then what ive written is still there and then just repost it untill it works but i have a mouse with 5 buttons for gaming but not sure if its possible to just use the backwards arrow in the top left corner of the browser to do the same but either way always good to copy past ones comments to be safe as the site sometimes also have a habbit of crashing even though its some time since i noticed that happen,
It looks like it was my mistake and I may have posted it twice.
Just because this curva sud leader support new management that make some few ppl here mad . So what do you expect from him ? Hoping he bashing new management and protested / asking owner to bring back previous management ? The ship already sail, not even boban will come back as DS anymore after elliot sacking him
Some people here hope Curva Sud protest the management to prevent the sale of Tonali. They forgot that Tonali’s family is part of Curva Sud. I won’t be surprised if they had agreement that Tonali will return for free after 5 years.

It’s nice to see someone understanding the difficult path that is needed to win trophies.
First thing first.
Personally, I was deeply hurt by the way Maldini was sacked, coupled with the sudden sale of Tonali. However, the fear of things getting spiralling out of control subsides somewhat after the recent signing, showing that the Tonali’s sale is indeed used up wisely (at least on paper).
So, I agree that the management’s move to use up the warchest was good and hopefully it works out well in the end.
However, what I don’t agree with the statement is the ‘pseudo Milanisti fans’ bit. IMHO, having different views don’t make you less of a Milan fan whatsoever. Unable to attend every matches or purchasing every merchandise or tattooing the club crest onto your skin doesn’t meant that you’re a lesser Milan fan. This is becoming like a statement of some kind of religious leader, where their view is the only view, looking at the ‘infidels’ lowly from their high horses. I strongly disagree with this statement.
Its just an opinion from another fan, who hates another guy because of the society he comes from, and he is just taking care of his personal interests, just like everyone else, and he represents a certain bunch of guys, people of his kind, not me or everyone else, nothing different here, we all stand for our opinions, and we are all right
Maldini, Massara, and Boban brought in Leao, Ibra, Giroud, Bennacer, Tonali, Krunic, Kjaer, Thiaw, Tomori, Kalulu, Theo, Maignan…etc. They stood up to the management to keep Pioli and wouldn’t be held hostage by player and agent demands. Milan won the Scudetto and got to the Champions League semi-final in this period with limited financial resources. The new management has a lot to prove. The signs are good so far though.
-The Tonali sale hurt, but made sense financially.
-Okafor and Loftus-Cheek were targets under previous management so it shows consistency and proves that Pioli always had a say in signings
-The signings are an upgrade on paper. I don’t think Reijnders is better than Tonali or Bennacer though, but time will tell.
-Colombo, Adli, Simic looked good against Real Madrid. Even CDK got more involved than usual.
Very well written S Milan. I do think Maldini saw RLC as squad depth and not a starter.
People always seem to focus on the players that left for free. Lets not think about the players you mention that came in under M&M and Boban. Those that now most of Europe want and are best in their positions like Leao, Mike and Theo
i have high hopes for CDK this year. He is one year in, no longer the new guy. Let’s see what he has.
This guy thinks he’s some great leader who can judge the fans and owners of the club. In reality he’s a psychopath, convicted felon and a common drug dealer. Pure trash.
Lucca Lucci, isn’t he the guy with drug trafficking and the idiot who killed Inter fan? I get rivalry’s but that’s beyond sad. And then talking like this about Maldini and pseudo Milan fans? Strange guy
Time wil tel if d management made d right choice,we owe allegience 2 back them.
Agreed, if Gerry genuinely has a plan to see us back to the top then fair ply he deserves credit. I would already apologise to Gerry as it does seem from my sources that Tonali was more open to the Move than we initially thought. I still don’t agree with the sale but hey ho. This is an opinions based game, filled with passion.
Reijnders may turn into SMS mark 2…let’s wait and see. As I’ve said the signing are decent. That doesn’t mean each one is decent, Chukwueze and Okafor are great signings, imo Pulisic is a good signing, Reijnders and Romero unknown but the right type of signings. RLC not so keen.
I would like to say that RLC does have talent, no doubt of that. I just don’t think he’s why we need. He’s got to 27 not really doing much. But again I’m happy to put my hands up of he becomes Rijkaard 2.0 😂
You completely miss the point. Have you ever played football? If the midfield is exosed it is not down to the midfield…Did you understand the philosophy of Sacchi? When 3 of the front 4 is exposed then the pivot is going to get bossed. Take a look at how the 3 of Man City come back and start the press from the forward phase. Even Grealish drops back into the midfield. This is why we always looked better with Saelamaekers on the right, because he contributed to the defensive phase.
RLC didn’t just not start at Chelsea, he was nowhere near. They (like Liverpool did with Origi) sign midfielder after midfielder above starting RLC. When Milan signed Boban and Savicevic, they became natrual successors to players like Gullit, Rijkaard….they didn’t sit on the bench while Milan went and signed other midfielders. Chelsea signed RLC before Kante, before Kovacic, before Jorginho, before Enzo, before Danny Drinkwater even and he still couldn’t establish himself. So what part of that makes you think he is good enough for Milan? Or are you from the generation that has no clue about what it takes to be a Milan player? You admit he wasn’t good enough for Chelsea, so why is he good enough for Milan? Our budget may drop, but our standards shouldn’t.
And yes…i do watch Chelsea thanks….I am aware very well of the poisoned chalice that is Chelsea, i know people there…..
The issue Milan had in midfield was depth, the fact that beyond Tonali and Bennacer we had Pobega, Krunic and Bayayoko.
regarding Dollarumma and Hakan, once again, how is this just Maldini’s fault? was he omnipotent? No.. Raiola was trying to get rid of Dollarumma from the minute he signed his new contract in 2017 or whenever it was. To land his solely at the door of Maldini is nonsense.
As for Tomori, Chelsea know they effed up there which is why they have been so careful with others like Levi Colwill, Chukwiemeka and Broja. I have connections in Chelsea. The only prem team who showed interest in RLC was Newcastle, and they switched their interest…..to whom? I’ll let you fill in the blank.
AC Maldini fans can go cry while Milan proceeds to win their 20th Scudetto. Don’t come back either, no one really liked you anyways
You see, you’ve made the mistake that your opinion I’m any way matters to me 😂😂
You are absolutely right in ignoring him Drew, if any commenter on sempremilan is a complete hoax making up bs its Boulden, he should either be ignored or at the very max be highlighted as the fraud he is.
I don’t understand the toxicity here mate, I mean we all differ but some of the insults are like the playground…., it’s like if someone has a differing opinion then they must be attacked, makes me think the vast majority of comments are by pubescent teens…
Ultimately we are all Milan fans…or so I thought. We can differ in our opinions.
Surely the premise is make a claim, have a debate and once it’s run it’s course move on.
No worries Drew, boulden is a special breed on sempremilan making up lies as he write his posts and pretty much everyone knows it maybe except himself.
June was a rough month and made some of us rightfully question the direction of the mercato and management for their moves even if some of us were willing to see how the mercato would pan out we were still angry about maldini getting sacked and tonali getting sold. Then they at least made some good aquisitions in my view and things was starting to look better both for the team and this community and most of us decided to move forward but luccis post sorta reopened the devide again and then some of those who never questioned the moves in june now seems to believe that they have a moral high ground making them behave like small kids while not realizing it themselves but yeah i believe a bunch of them are teens on summer vacation with nothing else to do than troll other people. I suspect some of them also writes with several profiles to substaniate their own comments
Im in my mid 40ies and has supported the club for 30+ years and often feel im far too old for this stuff as well and generally detest social media behaviour 😀
Im with you the premise should always be to have a debate but some of the people around here just like to throw mud on each other and doesnt really care about facts or simply cant see beyond their own nose tips and that goes for both sides of the devide. Personally i dont mind disagreement but if people fabricates lies then i get rather iritated and angry as everyone really should be.
Anyways i believe the great majority of commenters here are actual milan fans but propably a few interistas or juventinis also writes here like they were ac milan fans just to mess up the community that generally isnt as bad as it has been lately.
Anyways nice to meet you Drew..
You too Martin, you sound similar age to me with similar time supporting the club: we have been fortunate enough to see the very highs.
I’ll always be loyal to Maldini, he has always been my guy, but we move on and give Gerry the benefit of the doubt.
Also good shout about the multiple accounts to validate one’s comments…didn’t even cross my mind that people would stoop that low lol
Yeah, I thought so too from your comment and we are indeed lucky to have witness the heydays of the club.
Me too and the same for van basten but yeah time passes and the clubs still stands. I was from the start in favour of redbird instead of that investicorp ownership aquisition but it kinda looked bleak in june but yeah ill also give them the benefit of the doubt as well as things are starting to look much brighter regardless of some early bitter decisions by them.
I was pretty mcuh the only moderator on goal from 2016-18 and cleansed the the site for trols and spammers so ive experienced it close hand but yes people will infact stoop down to such lows and even worse like writing in other peoples names that made my job harder but i learnt to see how some people acted in that regard 😀
Yeah I was a moderator on a Milan forum since 2003. It was on the whole very amicable. Van Basten was the reason I started supporting Milan, but we lost him so soon. 1992-1994 was just such a time to be a Milan fan.
had some years in the 00s where i didnt have a pc so not sure if i ever frequented that site, but yeah van basten was far lost too early. 92-94 absolutely, really great players back then.
