AC Milan are yet to find the back of the net in the Champions League and have experienced struggles on the attacking front in the league as well. Therefore, as a report claims, a striker could arrive in January.
Three games, two points, zero goals and last in the group. The situation is far from ideal for Milan in the big competition and three strong performances will be needed to advance to the knockout stages. Although all of this will take place before January, a reinforcement could arrive then.
Gazzetta dello Sport claims that the Milan directors are well aware of the struggles up front, currently evaluating their options on the market. Lille’s Jonathan David is the primary target and he has a price tag of €40m, as well as a contract expiring in 2025.
Just a few months ago, as the report continues, the French side wanted €60m and Milan are hoping that a further reduction can be obtained. However, it’s clear that a significant investment will be needed in that position to get someone in January,
David has scored four goals so far but last season, he found the back of the net 26 times. The 23-year-old has quality, in other words, and could be the new No.9 for Milan.
Never heard of him is he world class?
Milan need world class footballers and that’s just the start of it.
It won’t make a difference. The midfield doesn’t create much and the wingers don’t cross often or well enough. He’ll be starved of service
So we should just give up and dissolve the club
Boulden, I didn’t see your for some time. How did you predict the CL group? Did I tell you that this midfield is crap and will be owned by better players? Just keep watching how much you have no idea about football. What Milan should do is get rid of RLC and Reijnders and get some proper players. Spend a bit more money to get potentially world class players, not whatever you can get for 20M.
Agree with you, I’m not satisfied by summer signings, half are average the rest just bench players, all what they do is to prevent any Serie A player coming, Milan end up having stating foreign calciatori, in addition avoiding entering in a bid war even against Inter a club with limited ressources, Moneyball-Algorithm just shit
The most important things for them is to qualify for the champions league, they can lose many match against Intermilan ucl Mach, Those Managers doesn’t give a hoot
To buttress your point, of what use is a striker that will sit on the bench? Pioli’s formation and technical ability is zero, he relies on Leao all the time to do magic, a bad day for Leao, is a loss for Milan.
He keeps using Krunic over Adli that doesn’t make sense
Bingo
Even if milan get world class striker with pioli in charge nothing wil change
Yeah we should get De Zerbi who lost 6-1 to Villa and lost to bloody Chelsea LOL
Pioli lost 5-2 to Sassuolo and 5-1 to inter, while also losing twice to the worst Chelsea in the last 2 decades last season.
Pioli lost 5 derbies in a row,
Led the team to the worst month in history last January,
and currently he has Milan on a record setting pace of not scoring a goal in 5 UCL games in a row.
Yes, Milan should get De Zerbi
Yes get someone who never won anything and pay him 10m/yr
Nice logic 10/10
you will make Milan bankrupt again
Boulden, your logic is beyond anything sane, always has been. I suggest you leave the word logic out of your comments, they never are.
That will not help
I think there is no need to rush.
Club is still fine in Serie A. We should squeeze everything from Jovic and start to use more Okafor.
Champions League this year was big gamble. It is group of death and squad is new and young. As I was writing in beginning very small chances to pass the group.
When our injured player come back we should be fine in Serie A and next year mercato should be busy : all players without impact should be moved from squad and little by little get more better players
We will keep struggling, until Pioli returns back to our main formation (442).
So many negative comments…. go for a run guys.
J. David is quality. He has 24 goals in 37 apps last season for Lille. He was also a decent player at the World Cup, be it only for Canada. His skill set is balanced but he can’t do much more for Lille. 40M is not much for him. I think Lille are going to hold on until this summer so that they may get EPL money.
Let us try our best to get him in January. Otherwise, we need to field Okafor for most games. Jovic can just leave for all I care.
If he is quality why nobody bought him?
40M is way to much for a player that will flop.
Pavlidis is better.
Jonas Wind might also be an interesting option
Does everyone need to be a 100m player for you to be impressed?
What is wrong with this generation, you watch too much Arab League!
HA?
Dude, it is Boulden, dude with random illogical rants. You got one. 😀
I hope david is not a one hit wonder. And even with better striker, nobody can guarantee that next players is injury free or flopped. Only above 50m strikers or forwards will do 😀
The problem is the midfield creating nothing at the moment …Giroud is not the problem ,,,it’s just the service to him poor …it’s not about a centre forward..
I still say this and I have said it time and time again .
We have a good manger pioli a good centre forward ( who needs better service) …” We will still win the scuddeto this season “ enough said…
We alway seem to suffer after these international matches ,,,that should be allocated at different times .
Wake up and smell the roses fella – you sound like the man himself. We certainly won’t win the Scudetto on our current trjectory….
Giminez – a much better bet
I agree.
And how will he score? Milan needs way better midfielders. Anyone saying Reijnders is a great player again is special. He is a great player against below average midfielders. Told all of you he will be extremely bad against top players, and look, I was right. Why? Because you can see that by watching his 3 games. If someone is really offering 50M for him, sell tomorrow. Bennacer will be back soon and they can get a proper midfielder for that Reijnders money.
Tijjani is a great player. He’ll grow into top tier foobtall jsut you watch
He is 25. He will not grow into anything, he is at his best. I told you exactly how will he do. Good against low tier midfielders and invisible against real top players. Just watch.
NO U
Sure. I’m watching every game and I still didn’t see anything that is great in that player. Average in most aspects compared to world class midfielders.
He only has two goals so far this year. Idk…
Milan couldn’t score even if they had Haaland. There is no teamplay nor creativity. Midfield and wingers can’t create good enough chances. How many quality balls did they manage to get to other Milan-players inside the box? None. Even Maignan was better at creating chances than any of the midfielders/wingers. How pathetic is that?
Brilliant comment that ..sums it up nicely ..it’s not Olivier Giroud,,it’s the service to him from from midfielders and the wingers …How many chances we’re actually created .
Even if we had Haaland we would not score goals .
Things will come good again ,,it’s such a pity that Loftus cheek is injured again ..this is my concern for him .He is class when he is fit ?
I still have every confidence in pioli and our team .
The scuddeto is a realistic target ..
No not the champions leauge ..that said I still feel the group is tight and we will win the return leg against PSG
for now let’s get back together and win the game against Napoli …( don’t bet against us ) we are AC Milan !
when the whole team is playing like shit, you have to look at the person in charge.
Well… You do have a point there.
Baldazi or Luka sucic or oscar gloukh
Ricci or Yossouf Fofana or florentino luis or Arthur Vermeeren or Ezequiel Fernandez
Jonathan David or Gift Emmanuel Orban or Santiago gimenez or vaggelis pavlidis or Serhou Guirassy
Lutsharel Geertruida or Sacha Boey
Simon Adingra or Patrick Wimmer
Valentin Barco Adrien Truffert Rayan Ait Nouri
Any of these names of each position they are and we lit. RLC or Reijndees aren’t the problem. The problem is we don’t have 2nd CDM replacement for kjaer florenzi 2nd LB future ST past giroud era and krunic agent or him makes difficult to renew so him pobega sold get one or two good players like florentino luis and khepren thuram or florentino luis and maxence caqueret
Or khepren thuram and Yossouf Fofana
We still need players and it’s true 20m players aren’t enough these days some might work but you cant depend all your budget to only 20m players that’s stupid
The issue is the coach…our coach is NOT world class or Top tactician. We always flop against top quality team. I don’t think it’s the players. look at Totentham Spurs…they loose their star world class striker and icon in Harry Kane and still flying. They don’t even spend much or expensive players. We have bring on much more depth with quality players yet the coach have no clue how to manage them.
