Not least because, according to his agent, Dembele turned us down in the summer of 2015. My guess has always been that this was likely because he feared he might become a part of the loan army, and that he didn’t fancy that. What lovely irony it would be if we got him on loan from the club, we were told in 2015, that he most wanted to join. Anyway, if this is possible then yes please. Pretty please with bows on.

Tbf its easy to say that and in some ways I agree but at 24, a year or two in China, makings shed loads of money, he could go and do what Paulinho did for instance... from what I could see he wasn't playing as often at Atletico and when he did play was quite poor in comparison to what he had showed beforehand for them, also he had fallen out with certain members of their training staff as well (or so I thought I read?). Its an odd one but it could rebuild his career if its a short term solution. He won't be first or last guy to do this either, to move to China at a younger age, I mean Oscar did it too... although I am glad we found somebody who was willing to pay what they did for him because he was beyond average.

After some research, the owner of this china club is the same guy who owned part of shares at Atletico (Wanda group). What makes it even funnier is they sold him for just 30m! He is easily easily worth at least 50 in today market. Nothing suspicious here, just some oldfashioned money laundring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That low fee would also suggest that the wages are astronomical (I don't actually know). As the selling club, it's easy to take a hit on the "transfer fee" if you're just selling it to yourself.

Leif 6,006 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 He needs to be in contention for manager of the season. 13 games unbeaten; 6 clean sheets in their last 6 games (including 210+ minutes vs. the highest scoring team in the league over 2 legs). Undisputed best manager of the season if they win the cup vs. Juventus & secure a CL spot, the latter which mostly requires beating a streaky but fitter Inter in a few days. Most of the season was very depressing for AC Milan fans. It's good for them to have big games now that actually mean something, vs. Juventus, Inter & Arsenal.

Leif 6,006 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 And, if Milan can keep Romagnoli/Bonucci/Calabria next season, they retain what's currently and surely still to be the best defence in the league. Remembering, that the team with the least goals conceded has won Serie A 99 times out of 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,100 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Is this true?No.Lazio 99/00, Roma 00/01, Inter 06/07. Don't believe half the nonsense some post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Excuse me? Don't talk out of your arse; and learn some expressions like '99 times out of 100'. Honestly. It barely takes a second to find a top Serie A manager alluding to the fact himself - https://www.football-italia.net/89146/allegri-‘best-defence-wins-scudetto’ In the past 15 years, how many seasons did the league winners not have the fewest amount of conceded goals? - 1 season. And it was by a single goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always talked about throughout Serie A circles since it consistently happens, that the tightest defence wins the title. It probably takes effort to look up*, but if anyone did, they'd see that time, and time, and time, and time, and time again, in a row, the Serie A league winners have the fewest goals conceded; it takes an absolute freak of nature to create an exception to the rule. *(Just checked - 14 seasons out of the last 15, the rule I posted applies.) Although it's a lazy name, Serie A hasn't been branded 'the defensive league' for decades for no reason. 11Drogba and manpe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look up the whole 99/100 thing; find how many Serie A seasons there have been, and how many of those seasons were won by the best defence in the league.
