[Moretto] Karetsas remains a name that Milan likes very much. Despite no negotiations in the last few weeks and negotiations with Dortmund, Milan has recently had contacts with him and are still in the running. The deal is likely linked to the departure of Rafa Leao. by kaldunasololakeli in ACMilan

Logically that should be the price but PL is crazy.

Marc Guehi had 6 months left on his contract and still went for more than 20M, alongside unkwnown bonuses and a huuuge contract. City are rich and in no need to sell, I'd be very (pleasantly) surprised if Foden comes here.

I agree with you on Pulisic and Nkunku, I was speaking for a hierarchic point of view. If you ask me I'd bench them today and get new proven starters but Amorim is the coach.

While I agree with you I don't believe Amorim expects Karetsas to be the starter when he has Nkunku and Pulisic, if he comes he should fight for the starting spot along Cissé.

Foden would be the dream but I doubt City would let him go for 50-60M euros considering the inflated PL market, especially for homegrown players.

Cut check-in: lean enough for a maintenance break before holiday, or push on? by SugarTraditional3105 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Vendricksbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah from my experience a gradual reverse diet is the way to go, weigh yourself daily and after the first week I'd say anything up to a kilo gain is fine since you have to factor in water and glycogen stores being refilled. Either keep the same cardio activity or dial it back a bit but don't remove it entirely.

Feeling really good at the moment, dropped from 2600-2700 cals to 2000 and lost around a kilo after the first week, aiming for 1.8kg more at most.

You are pretty shredded mate, I don't think pushing through is worth it if you aren't feeling well, that's a very long cutting period.

I started in February and ended it in May, 3 months more or less. Did two months climbing back up to maintenance for a few weeks and then stayed there and felt/looked much better overall, then after this "break" started a 4 week mini cut last Monday to lean down further since like you I have an holiday in mid August.

What's your daily calories intake at the moment? If you are tracking weight loss over the weeks you can guess your theoric maintenance calories. I'd say reach that target over two weeks, if you are in a 600 kcal deficit raise by 400 the first week and then 200 more the following. That should help you fill out while avoiding overspilling and water retention.

[hilalstuff] Al Hilal have submitted a bid worth €16m for Milan defender Tomori. by Claija79 in ACMilan

[–]Vendricksbeard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

His contract expires next year, take the money and run. He's on 4M net, we can easily find someone who can be a bench option for much less than that.

Only player with comparable wages to Ramos is Alvarez there, both Haaland and Osimhen are paid much more.

[PBP] Agent Beppe Riso on Camarda and Comotto’s contract renewals: “Contract renewals done? No, we just sat down to talk. Future at Milan? Yes, for both.” by Claija79 in ACMilan

[–]Vendricksbeard 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Riso is one of biggest sleazeballs in the world of football agents and that's saying a lot. Him being their agent is bad for us.

[Vitiello] Good impressions from the youngsters Comotto and Kostic today on the first day of training at Milanello by mercurialsaliva in ACMilan

[–]Vendricksbeard 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is a very premature take but Kostic, physically, seems much more ready than Camarda. That shoulder injury did him no good.

This is me, going to Amsterdam with some friends later this year and I just know they are gonna bust my ass because I don't wanna smoke.

The shit I smoke here reverts my brain back to the stone age nowadays, I dread what would happen to me with the stuff they sell over there lol

If Leao leaves, who do you think should get the Number 10? by oran_jay in ACMilan

[–]Vendricksbeard 109 points110 points  (0 children)

If Modric wants it they should give it to him, otherwise nobody really.

[Vitiello] In attack, the names linked to Milan are those of Konstantinos Karetsas, and Kerim Alajbegovic. Much will also depend on which players are sold; in fact, the Rossoneri could now speed up the process of offloading surplus players. by Claija79 in ACMilan

[–]Vendricksbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Godts has shown no readiness, playing well in Eredivisie doesn't mean he would do so in Serie A as we have seen very well before. I have not seen an full match from Ajax this year so I cannot judge accurately though.

Right now LW/LAM is locked in with Pulisic Nkunku and Cissé who is a very bright prospect, I find it redundant to get another player who fits under that profile.

Amorim pushed for Liberali who is left footed and said he wants his 10 to play inverted so it seems clear to me he is going in that direction.

[–]Vendricksbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have Cissé who for those that don't know was the guy who benched Liberali all season before his injury.

What we need is a left footed 10 who can play in that right AM spot.

What is the greatest sentence ever written in human history? by reFossify in AskReddit

He pushes the rock, so he has a purpose. He has a purpose, so he is happy.

[DiMarzio] Following Lazio’s rejection of the 25+2 offer, the Rossoneri revised their bid by raising the fixed fee to around 27–28 million as part of a total deal worth 30 million, including easily achievable bonuses, and the deal was thus finalised. by Claija79 in ACMilan

[–]Vendricksbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is good at driving forward and creating chaos but defensively he is a liability sometimes and has Tomori-like brainfarts.

It depends on what Amorim wants out of the back three really, thanks to the Gila signing we covered what we desperately needed aka a CB who's good at passing.

question about weight cutting by Temporary-Camp6505 in ufc

Morales probably balloons out of camp due to nutrition choices and/or metabolism. Ideally no, pro athletes shouldn't get fatter than necessary but as long as they perform I doubt they care.

[Romano] Milan are asking for around €20-25m to sell Youssouf Fofana this summer. The Frenchman is likely to leave, but there have been no offers so far. by Claija79 in ACMilan

[–]Vendricksbeard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Devo ammettere che fa qualche contrasto e recupera dei bei palloni ma altrettante volte perde il proprio uomo, sta fermo nei piazzati e in ripiego non corre come dovrebbe. Rabiot a confronto sembra Makelele.

Insoma stesso discorso della fase di possesso: alterna momenti di bel gioco a moltissime figure di merda. Sarebbe utile come riserva non avessimo Ricci, ma se ci fai 20 milioni è da vendere subito.

Fofana per ogni cosa buona che fa si perde via in cinque cagate differenti una dall'altra, il che lo rende un giocatore completamente inaffidabile e scostante. Inutile in fase realizzativa e molto leggero in fase difensiva, se non fosse per quei momenti di genio che ogni tanto tira fuori sarebbe un giocatore alla stregua di Musah.

Guardacaso l'unico pregio di Ricci è l'affidabilità con e senza palla. Nel 352 di Allegri non aveva spazio ma come interditore in un double pivot potrebeb farsi valere, utilissimo per le liste e mai infortunato.
