I wonder how many points off the first place Bayern need to fall for them to change the manager, imo their 7th title hangs on how soon they manage to react. In their place I'd just go and hire Jardim already, he's the perfect manager to manage crisis and oversee the long needed generation...

what about Conte and Italy in 2016 though? for guys like de Sciglio, Eder, Pelle, Sturaro, Zaza etc it's the absolute pinnacle of their careers

We aren't Milan to give captains armband to our star signing of the summer

I think they'd get in each others way a lot, Costa isn't exactly a link-up genius, he's more of a give-me-space-and-I'll-get-past-the-guy winger. Hopefully I'm wrong, because if those two can work their magic together, there ain't a LB in the world good enough to stop them

So basically unless a miracle happens, he is and will be useless

@Kopanja that's your friend?

Dunno, for several good weeks it was circling around, maybe the source was Pedulla, but it was reported in both Italian and English media. And Chelsea not fully wanting Higuain only further strengthens the hypothesis as that's pretty much why the deal never happened and we ended up sacrificing...

thanks :tup:

Of course transfer rumors are not facts, but us offering Higgy+Rugani combo to Chelsea got reported pretty strongly, my feeling is that those rumors were true. As well as the things you said about Chelsea not wanting Higgy and us not wanting to sell Rugani alone without Higgy.

what about Berna? start of the season Allegri was talking about him being a possible mid solution, now suddenly it's Cuads and Cancelo that can play in the midfield..

y, hopefully a club like Valencia, Everton or West Ham go for him. The amount of clubs that would want Higgy and can afford him is not big though, given how reluctantly he joined Milan I wouldn't be so optimistic that it'll be easy to offload him if they don't take up their option

surely Milan would take him for 25m. the originally negotiated price was 36m though, if it's 18m loan + 25m option, it turns out we bought him for 90m and sold for 43m... original rumors were that we'd like to sell him for 65m and would be willing to do 60m, ending on 43m is pretty disappointing :D

Lorenzo Dickmann is the perfect name for an outlaw hero

what kind of charity has 20m to spare for a lucky charm? Mario also is leaving on a gentleman agreement if he's leaving (and he's probably not), been too much of a loyal warrior for us to casually cash in on him from some chinese club

this is stupid funny, Zalgiris is leading by 6, CSKA scores a three, there's a bit over minute left and CSKA clock operator decides to casually steal 4 seconds from Zalgiris attack with the 14 second attack button :lol: CSKA go on to win in overtime and the incident gets blamed on "clock error"...

I think it was clear we were given up on him when we tried to sweeten the Higuain deal to Chelsea by including him in the package. You don't do that if you consider Rugani the future of your backline. The kid is smart if it's true that he wants Roma, their CB competition is non-existent and he'd...

what does Mandžukič think about that, he's also a Beatles fan?

The way you phrase it there's a percentage of Bach in Lil Wayne and its as relevant as his true influences. Do you really hear a clear Queen influence in Nirvana songs, can you give me an example? I think that Cobain liked Queen, but did his own thing within the culture of Siettle in that...

Doesnt matter much, if an opponent gathers 102 points your team can have Ronaldo and Dybala upfront and still lose the Scudetto, thats the charm of league competitions

Cobain himself was a big Queen geek, but his impact on the future generations of rock artists imo is bigger than Mercury's. Foos, Weezer, Seether, half of punk rock scene, Leto, Puddle of Mudd from top of my head are the ones influenced by him in a super obvious way. Both him and Queen...
