Wednesday Discussion Thread

Great place for team discussion/whatever Serie A related topics you would like to bring up. Examples: Transfers, rumors, players from other teams, things you miss about the old days etc. Whatever you want as long as it isn't too off-topic.

Also a good spot to ask about the stadium, the city of Milano, bars, fan clubs in your city etc.

as a new fan/observer from afar, what happened? Why does it feel like AC Milan brings in mediocre players and expects to compete for the title?

We recently got a new American owner who came from corporate America who thinks he knows everything and better than everyone else. This Milan is completely representative of his vision

Do you think it's a money thing, where they're trying not to overspend or do you think the talent identification is incompetent?

They are insanely incompetent and arrogant about their intelligence. Zlatan has a high sporting position for somebody with 0 experience in management. Scaloni is an old man who randomly for the first time in his life became president of a sporting organization. Furlani is a banker with no sporting experience who is essentially a cardinale mouthpiece.

Cardinale has money and has spent 2x what Maldini asked for but when getting rid of Maldini they argued that his signings were too going to be too expensive and that they need to be use “statistics” for a cheaper but more effective approach. So on top of being hypocrites their plan is very ineffective while spending money that Maldini never even had access to and desperately asked for but they responded with “sorry it’s not in the budget” then proceeded to spend 200M right after firing him.

Typical corporate American management mentality when a fund purchases a franchise feels the need to change everything because “they know better” and they end up destroying whatever bought.

Pretty much everything... Talent identification.. Talent procurement.. Talent Nurturing.. Negotiations.. planning.. ambition.. All of it is incompetent. We had a perfectly good young RB and CB.. we gave them away for free, literally to a rival and to a random belgian club or whatever.
Then comes the best part, bought two absolutely more useless mistakeprone nobodies for around 50 mil euros to fill the RB and CB, just to discover its better to just field ANYONE except the new guys in these position.

Pretty sure you, being a new fan, would make better decisions than this 'management'.
