Monday 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.

Here are some important links for new members:

Something that may have gone under the radar is that we made sure to push a lot of the revenues from sales to next year. And I think that makes a ton of sense.

Excluding the Reijnders sale, because that went into last year's accounts to make up for the lost CL revenue, we made around €115m from sales and freed up a ton of wages. So we ended up spending around €50m, give or take, including the change in the wage bill (plus whatever money we can get for Adli in the next couple of days).

Now looking at next year we have €10m from Morata, €10m from Colombo (if Genoa stay up, which they 100% will), €8m from Pobega, around €20m from Alex Jimenez, €5m from Terracciano (if Cremonese stay up) and then another €50m if both Musah and Chukwueze have their buy options triggered. So that's around €100m if things go as planned. And you add in the sales of Bennacer and Bondo, who will most likely leave next year as well, and we would be looking at a similar figure to this year without changing anything in the current squad.

All things considered, we have at least €53m coming in from sales next summer even if Musah and Chukwueze shit the bed. Add in the usual €50m we get for transfers each season, and we should hopefully be able to add to the squad without having to sacrifice anyone.

We're covered if we don't make CL again?

No, we're covered for this year of no CL so we don't need to rush sell anyone in June. If no CL next year don't be surprised if more players get sold in July/August.
