Something about Milan and LB converted to CB... :) He literally played 4 positions against Froso. Highly entertaining performance from Theo.

[@ziontrain7887]

Maldini was LB converted to CB. So I’m not surprised by Theo.

[@FootballDrawn]

Maddie looks like he just came out of the movie "Avatar". Brilliant episode, as always, boys ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

In case of Calabria, I used to almost hate his guts, but then he became a super star for a few game in a row...and I just don't think it's fair to grill a defender for one or two mistakes over a 95 min game. I believe if he keeps his form to the level we saw in those games where he was excellent, and we get back Benny to play fixed alongside Musah or Tijjani, the pressure on him will reduce...He's not only facing pressure for lack of defence in midfield but also lack of defence in centre defence. This things in my humble opinion are interconnected. Just like when Theo faces extra pressure when teams is not defending well on his side of midfield.

Hey, one of best takes out of the English speaking AC Milan casters. If you’re up for an additional that you can add, I would love to hear how the Italian fans and media are liking the Americans. I’m assuming you are checking that stuff out.

[@ohimats]

I wouldn't be so pesimistic on the champion's league. PSG is dreadful at home and are dealing with a injuries too, including Warren Zaire Emery (Thanks Gibraltar). Regardless, it's a must win. Let's hope to see more big performances. Seeing Jovic succeed was really nice too. We need him to do well.

as a meek mill fan loving the background to the video

I was at the dortmund game at sansiro (my first time) man it was amazing. Absolutly pissed about the result afterwards ofcourse, but damn san siro is amazing what a experience it was ❤️🖤

[@IntoTheWeeds71]

The inconsistency kills me. Earlier in the season, we looked really good but we couldn't finish our chances. But in the last couple of months we look borderline unprofessional. We're slow, sloppy, can't control the ball. It's rough to watch.

[@natewierzbicki9835]

This is gonna be a long winded question/ proposal that takes into account what I’ve seen this year watching all Milan’s games. Watching pulisic at Chelsea every game especially his first year which is what he’s been looking more like playing through the left as an inverted winger now( as he was under Lampard when he first got there) and hearing guys like George benson hope or wonder if Chelsea can snatch up Leao in a year or two for the right price. Would milan be in the right to sell Leao for 120 then have that plus the money they already have allotted to buy another top class CB and RB( get calabria out lol) and a striker. Not a terhemi, but someone in the 45-50 million. It’s only a third of the season gone by and yes pulisic needs to play this full season to even think of this being an option, but maybe just maybe Leao isn’t as irreplaceable as some have thought bc in the last three years he had no one of a comprable level playing opposite him.

You know it’s deliberate boys! Loved the podcast! I’d love krunic to leave in January and for Pioli, his partner, to follow him.

Wage budgets : Milan paying 60M€ net Inter paying 70M€ net Juve paying 75M€ net Juve has decreased alot and they will continue doing so if Pogba's expensive contract will get cancelled so they will probably pass Inter with lesser wage structure. Wages go bigger they decrease all the time, If you release Florenzi's and Caldara's pretty high wages, there's gonna be Rejinders and Thiaw probably asking for more as they are really underpaid. So the bigger question is are your only 10M€ net less playing team compared to Inter performing as you should and I bet all milanisti are looking angrily at Pioli when asked this question.

[@SempreMilan]

What matters more is gross salaries, which is what the club actually pay. Inter are €118m for this season, Milan €90m, Juventus €121.3m. There’s quite a bit of disparity, of course growth decree plays a part. What will be interesting to see is the direction each club go in the next few years. Inter and Juve might have to decrease, Milan’s should inflate in line with ambitions and when the core need their big contracts.

[@varmooo]

@@SempreMilan Also Inter will be soon getting higher too. Darmian, Acerbi minimal wage upgrade, but Dimarco doubles yo 4M€, Barella +1 to 6am€, Lauraro might want 8M€ compared to 6M€ as of now. We will release Sensi, Klaaasen, Sanhez, Dumfries, Guadrado, Im pretty sure he'll be the 'victim' this year.
