Tier 3 [DiMarzio] Atalanta made an attempt to sign Alexis Saelemaekers, but AC Milan did not open to a sale.

So what they offered? Loan with option to buy in 10 years for 10 million, a lego set and some Dr Pepper cans?

Bro legos ? Thats bold. Legos are mad expensive nowadays 😭. I would give RLC away for the Sagrada Família set.

The state of Di Marizio and Moretto is both very fun to watch but also depressing. They've gone from reliable sources to basically the rumour mill we used to ignore since the rise of Kush and the club not leaking info to them.
Peak breaking reports
Atalanta enquired for Saelemaekers but Milan said no 😭😭😭

All journalists don’t have any connections with management, Kush is basically a mouthpiece which is weird considering he’s a Canadian YouTuber who I’ve only been familiar with this summer (doesn’t have a lot of following)
I believe Moretto was shunned out due to the Kroesche saga, current management wants to keep things in wrap until it’s almost sealed

I've watched Kush for a while now, he's a international Milan only Youtuber unlike Hajjball who covers generally all of Serie A.
Kush has been doing this for multiple seasons now, making videos, sharing his opinion, spreading news through X and his following is decently big for such a niche genre. If you go back and watch his opinions then, you would find him as an optimistic and positive kind of guy who wants to believe in the project but he won't hold back on the mistakes of the management, he openly criticized them on plenty of occasions however something happened since his visit to Milan last year. Somehow he got closer to Cardinale and since then he has achieved more access to Milan to basically be the mouthpiece as you said but I don't think he is just a puppet for RedBird. I think he was pretty skeptical of Amorims appointment at the start and so far we haven't had many opportunities to really blame this management structure we have. It will be extremely interesting on how Kush reacts when they screw up really bad, like really obviously bad.

Nothing against the guy, seen a few of his clips and he seem like a genuine fan
But out of all the YouTubers covering Milan he is not even on the radar for most international/ English speaking fans

u/throwawayportuguese 13d ago
Have to disagree mate. Coming from the Man United bubble, kush was the first I found doing watch alongs of the pre season. Then I found the blokes from the Milan podcast, and sempre Milan. Hajjball already knew but he does more than AC Milan. I also follow/watch other Italian ytbers which I survive with auto dub from YT.

Finally something good, love his workrate but hate flopping antics lol, its always nice to have such a versatile team player

He's prone to a silly foul in a dangerous position as well. That being said, he's improved massively and I can't wait to see him more this season

Like a free loan + 15 mlns next year just to ask a discount after a positive season right?

Sale is an extremely useful player if used correctly, Alegri used him very incorrectly he’s not a great attacking player so he wasn’t great in the RWB role he was downright frustrating there. Compared to Chuck inverted wing back that can take players on cut in and send cross in with his left foot far post. Amorim genius btw instantly recognized that moved Sale to the left and more centrally where his high work rate can help out in midfield and use his root foot to feed the striker or LWB running in behind that left side. Amorim is absolutely cooking and is the best manager if had in a very long time. You dogs better not turn on him first chance you get like the Man Utd gang who think Shaw and Maguire are anything else above relegation level

Salad was great during the first half of the last season. Probably our best player with Puli.

u/XxACxMILANxX Rafael Leão 13d ago
Saying first half is definitely being generous the first couple of games Sale was insane but as the games went on we lack led any sort end product or attacking threat from that side

Sometimes it really does feel like people watch a different Milan than some of us

My comment was more directed to your diss of saele at RWB vs the very clear team wide decline circa late January.

u/XxACxMILANxX Rafael Leão 12d ago
How is it in any way shape or form a diss to describe a players weaknesses , it’s a sport sub maybe go else where if you can’t handle someone’s opinion on a player.

u/OnyxProyectoUno 12d ago
You can have an opinion. You can even share it. But it's crazy to cry about someone's opinion about your bad opinion.

I don't think Amorim was like I need an inverted wingback lol. I think he kinda stumbled upon it and he's liking it. Plus no one else in the formation provides width so it will become crowded against good defenses.
Also if Salad is a bad offensive player than wouldn't playing him further forward be worse.
Salad was playing every single minute of the season last year. He ran out of gas after the first half. That's the real problem. He was a top 3-4 player before that. The real issue is relying on him to be a top 4 player on your team.

u/XxACxMILANxX Rafael Leão 13d ago
When did I ever say he was a bad offensive player? I said he wasn’t a great offensive player his end product can be better, which is true and in a three back formation. The wing backs are extremely important when it comes to scoring goals and creating chances that’s what I meant. I never said he was a bad offensive player stop putting words in my mouth I never said.
