What would you call "our media"?
BILD isn't "our media" for sure... but tbh it's the only mainstream news organization I could think of that is as aggressive as you describe it.

When I say your media I just mean how the previous poster was speaking of German media which was a generalization on his part and it drew a strong reaction- away from the point of this thread.

I think it's just our forum that everything has to become a race war, a national war... I tend to stay away from these discussions because they are normally away from the point, useless and confrontational for no reason.

It only drew a strong reaction because he drew a picture of German media that simply isn't close to reality :)

Y'all are quite defensive for an obviously extremist view of your media.

Anyways, this is very good for Milan. Berlusconi has been massacring this club over the last several years, basically since the Ibra/Thiago Silva sales. They had the highest wage bill in Italy- which they could not sustain and on top of that they were paying some very overrated and older players.

Last summer they spent quite a lot but not on great players but they do have a few promising younger players like Donnarumma, Romagnoli, Calabria, Antonelli, Di Sciglio, off the top of my head.

Milan entered this summer with a 20M transfer budget according to reports and half that amount was spent on Lapadula. Lapadula is a 26 year old from Serie B, ex Juventus youth product and to be honest I like the signing but it really shows where Milan is at as a club.

On top of that since they dismissed Allegri, the best Italian manager, they have struggled to find any consistency. They've had at least 5 managers in the last 5 years and that's a problem.

Conte is tactically quite far from Allegri

I'd like to see Allegri manage Italy and do such a job during matches :rolleyes:
Also Conte built that juve team allegri is winning with.

Quote (kbk @ Aug 6 2016 01:04pm)

Marotta built that team and many of the players that are there have been here before Conte
Allegri > Conte and it isn't close really

Quote (chelsea11 @ Aug 6 2016 12:13pm)

Bonucci, Barzagli, Pogba, Asamoah, Vidal, Lichte, pirlo and more were all brought by Conte.
Funny how little you actually know about your "team"

Conte is the re builder of Juve, and hopefully now Chelsea.
He is obviously better than Allegri

Quote (kbk @ Aug 6 2016 01:15pm)

Pirlo was announced to be signed on a free before Conte took charge of Juventus
Marotta signed the rest of the players you named

Do you understand the function of the transfer director and the manager?
Marotta was the one who hired Conte! :rofl:
