Please ignore Oli's brainfart about Raul Jimenez being Portuguese! Him playing for Wolves and spending five years at Benfica was enough to cause a lapse in logic 😂

[@mbmehdi380]

Raul Jimenez is 31, he's slow, injury prone and has only got into double figure twice since leaving Mexico. He's shite. Nkunku is too short. If Beto continues to score for Udinese, he's worth a shot.

[@lucatiel2859]

Ole read my mind, Giroud deserves a lot of credit, he's working extremely hard, he's always giving his best, and he's still winning us games, massive props to him for that. Sure Theo and Leao do the same but the age difference is a huge factor here

[@JohnnyWunderboy2]

For someone that's won it all, the fact that Giroud is still so driven to make a difference is incredible. Class like that cannot be taught.

[@168houseluwuk9]

TNice tutorials is just the pick up I needed, thanks man

[@majdeddinzerti3490]

We should be worried about Zagreb they play very defensive game and they are really good at it and we struggle to score against such teams.

[@ohimats]

Honestly I love the idea of playing a back three. It works. Leao can be brought higher up or play in a striker pair. We have Thiaw an Gabbia. Our RBs can play as wingbacks, Dest as much on the left as the right. Chelsea will have rested because the queen died and they are not having most of the games. That game will be extremely hard. Potential number 9s, go for one of the two RB Salzburg: Okafor or Sesko. They are young, good, fast, have UCL xp and potentially more affordable than French or other Italian players.

[@ohimats]

Goal against Zagreb : how about that ;)

[@markangelagirard9944]

Calabria is an excellent tackler. He reminds me of Gattuso in the tackle.

[@MARiNZ0]

SEMPRE MILAN❤🖤

[@Labgorilla]

Guys we are so fucked. Rebic has a herniated disc in his back and origi has gone back to Belgium for theirs national teams’ medics to try to get him to recover. I genuinely cannot understand how we have been left so threadbare at such an early stage of the season. Lazetic has to be available and he is going to have to show up. Giroud has been nothing short of incredible but he needs to rest or I worry he will get a long term injury and join the ever growing list of players on the sidelines.

[@ZK-xj1cr]

Great show as always 👏 especially by Madison who was extra engaged in the review of the Sampdoria game. Maybe he was forced to actually watch the game because AJ was in his house. He usually sounds like he doesn't watch the games & is cheating of someone's notes he received just before the podcast started. Just kidding 😂. Keep up the great work and Forza Milan

[@robwaddell99]

We should play 5 at the back against Napoli. That way our right centre back and right wing back can double up on Kvarstshkella who is undoubtedly their most dangerous player especially with no osimehn. If we want to match them in midfield we could go with Vranckx at the base and tonali and bennacer box to box either side of him. CDK could then be supporting Giroud. It sounds defensive but with Vranckx at CDM and three centre backs , it gives the licence for Theo and Calabria to get down the wings and get crosses in for CDK and giroud and also tonali and bennacer to get into good attacking positions also.

Forza Milan ❤️🖤

[@danielarroyo6055]

Forza Milan! 🔴⚫️🔥

[@milan_mocro3356]

I think milan should go for noah okafor, looked great against us and has a contract that expires 2024 so shouldnt be too expansive in the summer

[@adnmary5530]

Forza Milan...

[@doudy2k5]

Pobega heard y’all

[@geoaguiluz4708]

Oli that Magic Mike jersey the peach color jersey that he wears all the time isn’t on milan store that’s why I asked if it’s exclusive to him I only see the neon and the purple one

[@SempreMilan]

Ohhhhh I understand now! My bad! Hopefully they release it soon

[@jimmychsable]

Balotelli style😂

[@briandasso9998]

The Spotify post is only 1:14 long😢

[@anthonytorgrude8702]

should be fixed now!

[@abdulhadial-enizi5710]

I don’t understand the logic behind people saying either renew for Leao or sell him. Renewing until 2027 with a salary of 7 million means we have a stronger claim to demand a higher fee for him in 2024 or even 2025 while he plays these seasons. Granted his performances may take a dip but we could easily demand 100 million in a couple of years even with the dip in form.

[@jatberoz5972]

We should of looked at Diego Costa before he went to Wolves. He was clubless meaning he could sign outside the mercato.

[@mbmehdi380]

No, we shouldn't. He's garbage.
