Manxst Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Just now, KaKa said: It's not even like they had a bid accepted and we came in and gazumped them. They were just there making a bunch of noise. It took us ages to agree a fee, because we weren't throwing money around ourselves, and were intent on paying a reasonable fee, which I think we did. Really happy with our approach to the signing. Don’t know how the actual Milan employees felt about it all, but their media certainly made dicks of themselves. Attitude all about being so better than us was shitty.

We never actually had to beat them to anything. We're hardly paying a crazy price either, considering his age, experience and pedigree. KaKa, my good man. What do you make of comments like these? I've no doubt he preferred AC to us, but surely if loathed the idea of signing for us then he can reject the move and stay at Lille? Sounds like sour grapes to me, if this fella is an Italian journo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 2 minutes ago, HTT II said: Because we played deep and hit them on the break which I don’t mind, but we have struggled for goals and possession and that’s because we play so deep. That needs to change which I’m sure it will, but we need pace at the back to play higher up, that’s common sense. Sure there was a post in the Pope thread that he was one of the best statistically at coming out and sweeping up. Maybe that’s the plan? Still play a high line but use Pope to sweep up rather than just relying on raw pace? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed Milan were hoping Botman would refuse to go elsewhere and force Lille to bring down their valuation of him (which I don't think they were ever going to do) so Milan could get him. Never happened though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milanista Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 12 minutes ago, HTT II said: Materazzi was just a thug, he could defend in that he could head the ball and be physical, but I always regarded Italy’s best defenders as being able to do all that, but be class on the ball, and he certainly wasn’t. And TIL he played for Everton, fucking hell, where have I been. I Imagine if he was playing for your club though, you’d love him. He’s that ‘type’ of player! When you grew up with Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini, and Nesta... we've never really had defenders like him, who were "hardmen." I mean, Tassotti might be the closest to that or actually Stam, but he was only at Milan briefly. Panucci, Cafu, Thiago Silva, Galli, Oddo, Jankulovski, Tomori, Kalulu now... we don't really employ hardmen. Plus, so many of Materazzi's redcards hurt his team. There's no need. Gattuso I felt was more honest about his tackles, but he seldom got reds. I don't think he was cheap. Walter Samuel, hard defender, tough, but not elegant, I can respect him, even if he played for the ugly half of Milan. Materazzi though? I'll pass.

Guest HTT II Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Can we all agree, the media, journos and these Twitter accounts are generally all gobshites, know fuck all and get most things wrong? Regardless of what country/club. The quicker people realise this the less they get more air to breath and die off and we can go back to just discussing footy the proper old school way which our AC marras have been a welcome addition to that kind of discourse.

I still think we are producing top defensive talent. The worry is that Italy is not producing any attacking talent. No one. Our midfielders are still world-class, as are our defenders, but my Lord, our attack has been beyond poor. Balotelli was the last world-class talent we had. Maybe El Shaarawy for 8 months, if you're being kind, but honestly, the fact our two best attacking talents are Zaniolo and Chiesa, both having ACL injuries, it is just terrifying how little we produce in one position, when we our talent is still clear in every other area of the pitch.

No idea who that guy is or what he's on, but he's so rattled it's ridiculous. Funny how so many people think that once you're in the Champions League everyone will fall at your feet. It never really just comes down to that alone though. He's young enough to make that kind of move down the line if he doesn't achieve it with us first. In the meantime the Premier League is a massive pull and the chance to be a marquee signing for a team on the up is a big draw in itself. Also think the Prem has a big history with Dutch players past and present and so that will always play a part also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
