To prove that, Nic from Milan Club Boston and I took a tour of some of the summer mercato signings of the past eight years. After remembering some of the “marquee” signings from those years, we realized that we have so much evidence to be optimistic about Milan this year.

2020-08-0344 minMilan ObsessionDo you Trust Gazidis?Milan are still undefeated after the break, and have actually scored the most goals of any other team, too. But all of that was completely overshadowed this week by news off the pitch. On the one hand, Pioli was handed a well-deserved contract renewal. On the other hand, a nine month soap opera featuring Ralf Rangnick came to an end. Rui and I talked through all of it, and then asked ourselves how much do you trust Gazidis?

Looking back, youth development has been non-existent. Now, there is a new youth project rumored on the horizon, even though consistency seems to be the biggest way we have failed our youth in the past. Jesús and I looked back and then forward to talk about how Milan is still failing our youth. On this episode: The Galliani Era Young players loaned and sold Criteria for d...

Milan ObsessionThe Ibrahimovic FixAfter ending the calendar year on a 20 year low, Milan fans were given a great gift in the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Perhaps the gift is not brand new or shiny, but it is a gift of healing for fans who remember the summer of 2012. Ibrahimovic may not be able to fix Milan, but for quality-deprived Milan fans, he gives Milan a big fix. To start of the new year, we invited Federico back to the podcast from Milan Club Buenos Aires. You can follow him on Twitter @Fefinho83 and follow the club @MilanClubBAires. This time around...

Milan ObsessionWhat the Fans WantDuring the International Break, there is less Milan to talk about, but that doesn’t stop the media from spewing rumors and “news.” Amongst their finest work, there were plenty of tell-all interviews with ex-Milan people who have nothing better to do than talk because they are unemployed. So instead, this time around, we gave more fans a chance to shape the conversation. Filtering the hysteria, Jonathan and I talked about: News of the Week: Subs, partnerships, third generation Milan, agent swap, coach choices, fighting racism sitting down, jail time, retirement tears, virtual coach Match Reviews: talkin...

Milan ObsessionCalm in the StormIf you read what the media are writing about Milan, you’ll know that Milan as a club has died 29 times in the past two weeks, and the world has also ended multiple times, too. Social media has created a level of hysteria around Milan that makes the Y2K conspiracy theorists look sane and stable. Amongst the turmoil, there are actually some positives and signs of progress, but you have to look past the distraught voices in order to see the calm in the storm. Filtering the hysteria, Jonathan and I talked about: News of th...

Milan ObsessionThe Pioli Era BeginsAfter the Giampaolo experiment ended in tragedy and 15 dropped points, we were more than happy to usher in the Pioli Era. With immediate improvement in play, it was a lot easier to swallow dropping two points against Lecce. Off the pitch, however, there was shocking financial news, so the harrowing experience of being a Milan fan still continues, despite improvements on the pitch. To talk about the issues on and off the pitch, we needed a lifelong Milan fan. So of course we asked Francesco, the president of the Curva Sud America. You can follow him on...

Milan ObsessionDazed and ConfusedThe only thing worse than losing the Derby is having to record a podcast after losing the Derby. But in hindsight, it helped to look at what is going on at the club and how the team are playing. It also helped to put things into perspective, looking at the big picture. Or maybe to make things less clear, I’m not sure. All I know is that Milan seem dazed and confused. With our season starting out so poorly, we needed an expert to help us look at what is going on, so we ask...

So with the Derby on the horizon, this podcast is all about why I hate Inter. Jonathan was the mastermind behind this special podcast, and he was patient enough to listen to my ranting.

Milan ObsessionFalse StartAfter all of the excitement of summer and the optimism surrounding an apparently solid mercato, Milan fell flat on their face in their opening match of the season.

Milan ObsessionMontolivo Out New directors, a new coach, and the mercato ready to open, yet the biggest news is that Milan gave up the Europa League to clear our FFP violations. Yet even more important than all of that is that Montolivo, the parasitical, inaccurate passing, tattle-tell, wall-ducking player who usurped the captaincy and got coaches fired is finally leaving the club. To prepare to celebrate the best thing that has happened at Milan in seven years, I give you Montolivo Out. Only one person could fully represent on such an important podcast, so we asked Pe...

Milan ObsessionSeason ReviewAfter the heartbreak of finishing only one point shy of Champions League qualification hit like a punch to the stomach on the final matchday, Milan face even more big changes. With the resignation of our Sporting Director, Leonardo, and coach Gattuso rescinding his contract, and UEFA still delaying their FFP rulings yet again, it feels like just another poor Milan season. But we found plenty to talk about while rating the players and more to make this season not just another Year Zero.

So while we are waiting for the final match, we talked about everything Milan, looking back and trying not to think too hard about the future, keeping our fingers crossed. With so much on the line as the season comes to a close, it was time to bring in the big guns. So we chatted with David of Milan Club Ph...

Milan ObsessionLost Milan can’t even celebrate a win anymore because we are unravelling so badly it doesn’t feel like a win. Of course we’ve still been mostly losing, but adding on a ridiculous amount of poor discipline on and off the pitch. With the same tired tactics leading to worse performances and results, it’s actually not that much of a surprise that Gattuso and the team just seem lost. Despite recording after a win, this one was not that hopeful. Jonathan and I talked about: News of the Week: Shaky San Siro, new kits...

That same sense of fear has left us clinging to fourth place by a mere point with five games to go. As if that weren’t hard enough for us fans, questioning players, coach, and more, there have been way too many off the pitch distractions, too. At a crucial point in our season, it leaves us clinging to fourth. There was so much to discuss this time, and even a couple of rants. Jonathan and I talked about:...

But confidence is growing, the a number of clean sheets is growing, and we finally have a competent management. Which is why we had the best January mercato ever. Not only is it our first January mercato in so very long, but we truly strengthened the squad to make us more competitive, and we also lowered our wage bill at the same time.
