undermine my joke there uh about you know sort of English uh English players not settling well in in City Air.
Well they have shown, as have Scots, that they do settle well um these days, that they do enjoy life uh in Italy, um they do make it their second home, and so why not?
And I think certainly from Inter's perspective, um they are signed with the not only
A transition in mind, but also an admission that they perhaps need some more physicality, intensity, uh, if they are to go back to a third Champions League final in what, four years.
Yeah, I think Milan made the calculation that, you know, Ruben Amarim is only two years removed from being the hottest thing or one of the hottest things in coaching in Europe.
And unlike with United, it's a squad that is uh well adapted um to him.
You know, he's not coming into a club that is unfamiliar with a back three.
Milan played a back three last year with Max Allegri and
The other thing is the owner, Jerry Cardinal, is much more hands-on um than he has been at any time in his ownership.
Uh Ruben Amrim is very much his appointment.
And you know, along with the recruitment team that Cardinal has promoted within uh Milan, they are in lockstep with the coach, which uh
Towards the end of Amarim's time at Man United, where he, you know, that Leeds press conference where he said, you know, I want to be a manager, not a coach.
Um, it was taken to mean that, you know, he felt that his influence when it came to signing players was not what it could and should be, and that the the the club wasn't going to recruit for him or his system.
Um, yeah, that's very different at Milan.
Yeah, they've gone and spent
Um initially 50 million for a guy who can play as a a winger of 10 or wing back in Diego Moreira.
Um they've signed Gonzalo Ramos uh for a club record transfer fee uh from Paris Saint Germain as well.
And they're not done in the transfer market yet.
Um so um I think there are all the the conditions in place for for Amrim to be.
um more of a success at Milan than he was.
