How signing Youssouf Fofana changes everything for AC Milan!

Thanks for the video

Transfer Rating : 8 – Higher than most would rate it but hear me out. You landed all of your #1 targets outside of Zirkzee all while the entire world knew who you were going after. With that and other clubs coming in they held to their guns and got things done without being fleeced on any of the deals.
Most Important : FOFANA – Like everyone else said he's going to fit in to a hole that has been there for a few seasons now. That should settle things all over the field.
Predicted Finish : 1st – I'm on my 4th glass of Kool-aid already.
Most Impactful : LEAO – Has to be Leao. He is the most talented offensive player on the team and the only one that has the potential to be a true world class player. If Milan are to close the gap and overtake Inter Leao NEEDS to be the most impactful player.
Surprise : THIAW – We don't sell him and with Fofana in midfield plays with a calm mind and begins turning into the player we hoped for last season.

Say what you want about how slow the business is, but management is getting deals done at cut rate value at a consistency that is remarkable, especially after holding strong on Fofana. Congratulations are in order for furlani and co.

Oh boy, here we go, new season, I will just say Bbbbbelive ❤️🖤

Kush we was here ❤ since the biggining god bless you respect 🫡 Forza AC Milan ❤🖤🩸

Love the way you do your channel love your passion for the club however and after over 30 years of supporting Ac milan I'm not buying it with regards this squad.

I hope I'm 100% wrong with regards to this team and this season however I think this season will be a struggle a lot more so than people think.

Kush the deal is finally over ❤

Great video 🙏🏼 is it possible to download the cards?

To determine whether or not Milan’s signings were sufficient, one has to take a deeper dive and assess the club’s shortcomings last year across three major areas (technical, tactical and player personnel). If we agree that goals conceded was the main problem (Genoa had less goals conceded and they finished 11th) – then we have to explore the causes in order to rate Milan’s performance in the mercato (spoiler alert, I give it 8/10)

On a technical level – defence starts at the opposition’s own third, which is to say, Milan’s pressing/counter-pressing last year sucked; Milan had a slew of unforced errors in buildup possession which gave way to many goals in transition; duels won and ball recovery were atrocious; defending in dead-ball situations (corners, indirect kicks) was improved but not nearly where it should be; fatigue and concentration were a problem after the 70th minute of almost every game.

On a tactical level – Pioli’s man-to-man defensive setup simply did not work; lack of compactness between the lines; Pioli’s defensive setup did a terrible job protecting the width of the pitch; 3rd in yellow cards and 1st in red cards given😬.

Player Personnel:
Goaltending – Mike needs to be a lot better this year.
Back Four – in order for Mike to be better, the back four need to be better. With the exception of Theo for most of the season, the backline was horrendous.
Midfield – none of the midfielders were able to defend and protect the back four! Kessie’s and Tonali’s absence were really felt last year.
Attack – the 4231 is only as good as the wingers being able to stay behind the ball and defend the wide areas of the pitch from transitions. And once again, winning the ball back higher up the pitch was a rarity last year.

Mercato Solutions:
Fonseca: Players were analyzed but not coaching, and yet this was the most important move made by Milan this year. Though improvements are needed, we have already seen vastly improved pressing, more sure-footed possession, and a more compact shape in defence.

Strahinja Pavlović: A left-footed CB was always needed – and he happens to be intelligent, mobile, fast, aggressive, good with both feet, and an absolute beast in the air.

Alvaro Morata: Fonseca’s setup doesn’t require a classic striker who’s gonna score 20+ goals. Other than speed, complete technical skillset and intelligence – Morata is unparalleled on the press, ball recovery, work rate and provides a much needed leadership.

Emerson Royal: Milan’s only depth signing who will have to fight for a starting spot, but is a solid addition. In fact, he’s the only player Fonseca asked for, not to mention he possesses a skillset that we haven’t seen since Massimo Oddo and Cafù before him.

Fofana: I hate to sound like a general after the war – but I knew he was coming to Milan. His profile is that of a complete midfielder and very rare at that. There’s a reason why Monaco’s valuation was so high for a player who has one season left to play.

In my opinion, what would make this transfer market a 10/10 is added depth to the no. 10 slot and perhaps the backline. Forza Milan!

30:45 what is the youtube channel of this guy?

Forza Milan Sempre 🔴⚫️🫡

That Fabio guy is just wrong when he said we all want a young striker. I guarantee you they bought in Morata to give Camarda time at Futuro. Buying Zirkzee or Sesko is nonsensical when you have a small budget + a wonderkid in the making.

I don't like Emerson Royal what player he was in the past and more less what he is now, but deep in my heart I can see him evolve in Milan same as Pulišić did 🙏

Why did we have to buy Emerson? The guy is a mediocre player from what I’ve seen over the past seasons at Tottenham. I hope he proves me wrong!

The quality of your videos is sooo good.

I agree with Kush, I believe Milan will win it. As for Pulisic as a CAM, I still don't see it. He doesnt control play or cover much as Id want. I think Tijani will play that role

As a milan fan i also believe that we have to do much work to achieve the scudetto but im optimistic we get it done this year there is a change of energy rn ❤️‍🔥🖤

Nice Studio Kush.

Rating -6
Keyhole filled- CDM (fofana)
Position- 1st
Impact- Pulisic
Surprise- Chukwueze

I wish Acmilan all the best this season.

Surprised player will be Pavlovic 🎉

Kush we are taking it!!! 7-1 odds I already put my money where my mouth is. There are some big factors that have to go our way like signings performing and less injuries. We can build great enthusiasm and scudetto magic. Inter will get a reality check and with a little more pressure and more teams figuring them out possibly. Maybe couple key injuries I really don’t think they are as deep in every spot as people suggest. Fresh season. New coach for us but already looking like an improvement! The gap is small!!!! Need to be hungry and believe !!

Woohooooooooooo

Fofana and Morata, Milan quality players, YES 10/10
Pavlovic and Royal not at all Milan quality! NO 3/10
Kalulu would have been a better choice to ply RB than Royal, and save the money.
Hermoso or Hummels, would have been better choice than Pavlovic as experiance is needed and champion mentality, and Milan should have kept Simic that is a better player than Pavlovic. And save the money
An Oprising star who is a playmaker, someone Musiala, Simons, Wirtz whould be the cherry on this Milan team, and complete this team.

The sales of Milan have been 1/10
Milan is stuck with Origi, Ballo-toure, Florenzi, and they are very expensive for milan to keep in the books, like 13M gross or so. that money could go to a top quality playmaker.
The sale of Smic, Maldini, Milan did charrity work,
De Katelare was sold for undervalue.
No need to talk about the rest.

And this moneyball mentality of transfer i dont like it at all, you end up stuck with to meny avrage players who dont leave the club.

So much delusion its hard to even react, defence is shaky and underfunded, midfield has no defensive traits and fofana is being expected to fix the holes on the field? Morata will get his numbers but scoring was never our issue, for us to compete for league i still think we're about 3-4 top level 40m Euro + signings from winning scudetto, UCL is not even a thought anymore thanks to the league and ownership we're not returning to that UCL stage for another decade because that stadium has not even had plans agreed on for land let alone construction being started which would be the first step in becoming sustainable which even after being built, would take a long time before you see that financial affect on the transfer market. Overall this club is still 15 – 20 years away from competing on a European level again, There is no way you can dress up the truth.

Factor into your rating that Fonseca was not wanted by milan fans, most wanted either a conte or a conceicao over a fonseca and id still to this day take both options over that embarrassing twitter shit 'MILF Man I Love Fonseca!' Fucking melts on that app, gross fake PR for a club that hasn't been itself in almost 20 years.

I'm sorry for every milanista but inter is the champion because we need a lot of luck to win as any injuries in the back would hurt us so much and I don't think we won't have any injuries through the whole season but we need to step up with good attack and great midfield but I don't expect much from Emerson and the defense isn't the best
