Gonçalo Ramos

So it'll be interesting to see how Milan adapt to that and deal with that.

One of the big questions hanging over the club is they spent 70 million euros on Gonzalo Ramos in the summer.

And so far, he hasn't been bad.

I wouldn't go that far as to say he's been bad, but he hasn't had a 70 million euro strike, which I think a lot of us were raising our eyebrows at that signing when it happened in the first place.

And Moreira's had some good games so far.

But they've way overspent on Gonzalo Ramos.

There's no doubt about that.

I was

just about to get into that.

To blow 75 million on Gonzalo Ramos, even if he ends up being decent and scoring a lot of goals, when you've got so many weaknesses in your team elsewhere.

Because Milan didn't buy a lot of players.

They basically brought in three... first team players three first team squad players and then a couple of youngsters so they've blown all and then they brought in Hutchinson on loan so they've spent a lot of money basically on three players and there's all these gaps in the team but the players that they did bring in Gila I think was it will be worth it but Ramos and Moreira they've overspent massively and yeah

That woke up you, bro.

So with, like I'm saying, Mbaye gone, Bacola gone, Gonzalo Ramos gone, Ferran Torres in, Keviche out, PSG can still win the Champions

League.

100%.

The thing for Ronaldo is that the writing was on the wall after the 2022 World Cup, man.

Where he got benched and Goncalo Ramos scores a hat trick in that game.

You just kind of knew and there's something to be said for walking away gracefully.

And that's what real legends do is they know when their time is up.

Storm all day, I actually got to go and cover this game before the site, which is of course always a privilege, but what it did mean is you can't wear the usual stuff that you wear if you were on the terraces or whatever, so I just ended up soaked and sat covering what was in the end not a very good game.

the rain didn't relent it blew into the press box there were people having to go under the stand for cover and stuff it's uh it's not a ground that's really made for that kind of thing to be honest but anyway this is the starting 11 that we named um again continued with the theme of like rotation but to a point um so you you still sort of see the same names down the middle there with Manier in goal, Pavlovic, De Vinter, Tamari right back, then you've got Moussa Jashari, double pivot, Marrera playing on the left, Hutchinson on the right, Loftus-Cheek, and Cissé down the middle over Francesco Camara, because Gonzalo Ramos was not feeling 100% for this one, and yeah, that's the team that we got.

To be honest, I almost don't really want to dissect this game too much because effectively what happened was the first major incident in the game went against us and then the second major incident in the game went against us and that left us basically unable to recover.

I think that this is a result that because of the relative size of the two teams and stuff, it kind of sent shockwaves around because it's like Bournemouth have beaten AC Milan 3-0.

Modric, Shashari, the double pivot, Hutchinson.

Gets another start.

Pulisic then playing behind Gonzalo Ramos.

It becomes kind of obvious from the shape in the early exchanges that Bartizaghi is indeed playing as a left winger.

I agree he's better going forward.

Let's go back to Gonzalo Ramos because I think that's a more interesting topic.

Nobody's saying that he's not going to become an important player, but there's no way that Milan is happy to spend $75 million and the guy doesn't get the ball in the box.

You didn't get him just to run around and to make the most miles ran on the team.

I'm not even just blaming Gonzalo Ramos.

I think he hasn't had the chemistry and the players around him that give him the ball in the right position.

Consistently, they change the front three, so he's not able to build any chemistry.

It's not enough.
