GdS: Kalulu named MOTM for Juventus against Napoli – ‘Him for Emerson Royal?’

Pierre Kalulu has started his loan spell at Juventus in the best way possible and as a result, AC Milan fans are questioning the management’s decision to let him go. As highlighted by a newspaper, he was the best player for the Bianconeri against Napoli last night. 

Kalulu played from start in the centre-back position for Juventus last night and helped his side keep a clean sheet in the 0-0 draw. As per Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), he was the best player in Thiago Motta’s side with a rating of 7/10.

“Make us understand: Milan sold Kalulu for Emerson Royal? Is that correct? Kalulu at Juve looks like Ruben Dias, Emerson Royal at Milan looks like Emerson Royal,” the motivation read as more people are starting to see what a strange decision it was.

Milan paid around €15m for Emerson Royal and James Horncastle has previously called it the ‘biggest donation in Fondazione Milan history’. Furthermore, before he eventually decided to leave, Kalulu was hesitant and would have liked to remain at Milanello to fight for a spot.

Unless he shows something in the derby tonight, Emerson Royal will continue to be heavily criticised by the fans and rightfully so.

    1. Ye Bremer was MOTM for sure but Kalulu put a performance worthy of MOTM as well. Idk if it was manager decision or management but for sure one of the worst decisions to let him go

    1. No, the way the loan is written Juventus have the control about whether to buy him or not.

      Selling Kalulu was always a risk; he could be an excellent player but his last couple of years have seen a lot of injuries. He deserves some good luck though, was a complete pro for us.

  1. This is Fonseca job. He wanted Emerson. Problem is letting Pioli go for Fonseca was disastrous move

    But… eventually Red Bird will settle all their bills… 🙂

  2. We had 5 RBs inclunding Kalulu (Calabria, Florenzi, Kalulu, Terracciano and Jimenez), and our genius management decided to give this guy to our rivals and spend a fifth of our budget on Emerson Royal.
    I’m not going to elaborate further, so far this action speaks for itself.

  3. The moment we realize this manangement is the problem of Milan the better.

    I wonder when Curva Sud will start raising their flags for all these management to leave the club

    Am so disappointed, if time is not taking, we are going back to the banter era.

  4. When you have people from another country, zlatan( Swedish) Moncada( french) Fonseca( Portuguese) Furlani(American-italian) and Cardinale( a fund hedge country)… You can easily tell what the performance of the institution they oversee will perform!… None can have a vernacular understanding of the value and importance of the club settings, that’s why they are wrong to think Franco Baresi or Maasaro equally pulls the same weight as Maldini!… This club already regretting sacking Maldini but wouldn’t admit honestly.

  5. Kalulu a modern center back that can play in 3 man defence, 4 man defence as CB or RB. Won Serie A with Milan, has been a vital part of the team that season. Sold to Juve so they can win titles and Emerson who didn’t have a single good season in his life was bought for more money. If that doesn’t get those clowns fired nothing will. I have never seen a worse transfer move. It is like giving gold for s**t and bragging about it like Ibra.
