Why would he go to Chelsea for? They don't even have that sort of muscle anymore.

This you?

I bet if you searched for sinking ship on Google images, you will find this:

Absolutely no buzz in the transfer market, depleting squad, players don't want to be there, local fan base.

Chelsea about to return to their standing pre- Abromovich days this season :laff:

He's a movement and touch player who can play across the front line. He presses well so he fits Pioli system when defending. Because the #10 and RW offered phuck all attacking threat last season and with the left flank being the main source of attack his movement and size should provide more of a goal threat. Theo and Leao put so many good crosses in that when they went past Big Sexy and Ibra there was no other player attacking the ball in the box.

Long term he'll probably be the #9 but more a false 9 type. This season probably play as AM/RW.
I hope they put Diaz on the bench for good and use CDK in his role. And hopefully we don’t end our Mercato with Salesman and Messi as our RW options :francis:

The takeover won't be completed till September. So the budget isn't that big if you really want signings then the club have to sell Theo and Leao. :manny: Like Arsenal and United Milan have been shyt at selling players. Let's not forget they've probably lost 150-170m worth of talent for free the last 2 summers.

With Adli and CDK Diaz will be back up. Diaz is really only being kept so not to make the relationship with Real difficult.

Does RW need upgrading yes and it has done so for like a decade. Thing is with the current inhabitants of the RW they work hard defensively. Messias is a decent player. He isnt a starter for where Milan to get to but he scores goals and his a willing squad player. Saelemaekers has ability but then undoes the good bits with brainfarts. He's another squad level player. Who has workrate which Pioli likes.

Why the fukk do we always loan players? Just fuking sell any player surplus to requirements. Every other club can do it so why can't we?
Because they also have to want to go which means they will have to take a pay cut, and actually play again instead of chill on the training table stacking up wages. We got like 2 years incoming of just running out deals before we can make progress
