To be honest, he plays best in a back 3 but the back 3 Pirlo plays is really a back 4 in the defensive phase and the timing of Danilo's movements to the right back position can leave him exposed and therefore makes Bonucci look worse than he is. Bonucci's distribution and long balls is what...

OK...I saw the game and the celebration. Honestly, Kean's celebration was not even provocative at all - he just had his arms wide open and said nothing. I have seen much more provocative celebrations. The more I think about it though.....if you insult a player that is one thing, but if you...

I heard the Cagliari crowd is notorious for this. Next time we play there every player should have an undershirt with "Say no to racism" and the whole team shows it to the crowd after we score.

The key problem is when it said "50-50". That is what really screwed it. If he just said: "It would have been better for US not to provoke the crowd when we celebrate even if some of the fans behaviour is clearly unacceptable as we have to set a positive example"

The world we live in takes comments and magnifies them 10x and puts them out of context. Clearly, Bonucci did not choose his words well but I think what he was trying to say was that it would be better for Kean to not provoke the crowd even more. His words were VERY poorly chosen. But its...

Why would we get Bonucci back when he would cost at least 32m (price at which Milan break even) and still have to pay a hefty salary even if he accepts a big pay cut. If Rugani is sold, then Godin can be had for 20m by simply activating his buy out clause. He is arguably the better defender...

I doubt that Juventus would get rid of two of the most promising young Italian (or any) defender for that matter in one window. I just don't see it. Can only make sense if we offer them a loan maybe in exchange but with no option to buy.

I still remember vividly all of the Bonucci howlers during the Del Neri / Ferrara and early Conte years. That is when he was at around the same as Rugani. Rugani is relatively spotless and hardly makes any errors compared to what Bonucci was like at that age. Rugani just lacks that cunning...

Barzagli-Bonucci-Chiellini was a very succesful because of the way they complimented eachother. They all made eachother look better than what they each were individually.

Just a reminder folks on how FFP works. It works on Accounting profit and loss. So, when you look at the Bonucci deal. His cost on our books was zero in terms of the annual amortizations given how long he was with the club. From memory his wage was going to be around 4.5m NET which equals...

Not sure how the bonuses are calculated. If it means they have to get into top 4, then we ain't getting those bonuses.

Milan taking a huge gamble if they get all these players because if they don't get into the top 4, they are going to be financially constrained thereafter due to FFP.

I remember when Bonucci was once a liability just after 1 season with Del Neri. I even thought he was by far our weakest defender in the first year under Conte. However, he improved in leaps and bounds. Now he is a great defender. So he is a big loss. However, if it is true that he is...

I still think they will struggle to make the top 4 to be honest.

I agree its Rugani's time to shine. However, Chiellini, Benatia and Barzagli have all shown they are either getting to old or are injury prone. Still I don't want to see us waste money on Manolas. Despite saying this, I would rather we just stay put on CBs.

What's done is done. He's gone. Hopefully there is a silver lining in some other signings.

Yeh that is just pure hatred dude. Chill. No-one should wish any kid die - you should get banned!

E` Fatta?

There is something we don't know about here. This is such a left field transfer. I was 50% sure he would stay....but if you asked anyone he would go to Milan, the probability would be less than 1%. I can't help but think he doesn't get along with Allegri or something. Doesn't seem like the...

Sillly season (transfer season) brings out the worst in me. We are less than a quarter of the way through and I already can't wait for it to end!
