Actually having just googled Milan's training facilities, I'm canny shocked that a club of their stature has such an ageing training complex.

 

The fitout at little Benton doesn't look terrible when pitted against it[emoji38]

Aye, found that all a bit odd. Wonder if the club have been buying up/leasing property around the area to get them straight in - in the past they’d just get chucked in the Hilton for weeks on end.

Yeah, must just be temporary for him to settle for a bit.

There was a story a while back that the club had bought some houses (can't remember if 3 or 5) to help settle players in quickly.

My lass has properly gotten into this transfer (she's Italian) so she's learning so much about this club every day  :lol: 

 

We watched the whole vid and Tonali, bless him, shows so little emotion..... his partner is absolutely outstanding but I was laughing so hard at her canteen gasp. He's left the San Siro and AC Milan yet is being asked to react to our facilities :lol: 

 

Excited to see him play, mind.

Would make sense. Got to be easier to settle in in a nice house in Darras Hall, rather than living out of a suitcase in a hotel.

Botmans got a lush one in Jesmond.

I'm sure the club had at least 2 houses in Woolsington for the same reason in the Keegan days.

Tbh ours looks far better than AC Milan's.

Noticed Dan Ashworth mentions about

him having English lessons, and quickly. Good to hear! 

Sounds like he has a reasonable understanding of English already, just not a talker yet. Should help smooth things along :)

The San Siro is immense but I would imagine it’s more giant and old than modern and comfortable. 

 

Wor fatha who went there in 2003 said it's an absolute shit hole.

 

Same with Milan as a city outside of the main square where the cathedral is. May have changed in 20 years, like.

I went to the San Siro for a Champions League match last season and yes its giant and old. But its got so much atmosphere and character. All the food vans lined around the stadium, builds a carnival like atmosphere before the match. 

Its lush. It takes about 15 minutes to walk up the ramped spiral path to the top tier.

The video is class apart from the weird bit at the start following him around a random house.


And that bloke showing him the Birra Moretti label, that was dire :lol:


Who was that guy? Seemed like the owner of the house but he featured quite a bit in it. Is he some local businessman or summat? 
 

And yeah, the Moretti thing was awful.
