Re: Mercato Rossonero: Milan Transfer Activity Inside Out

Don't forget we will be selling some players as well. We could have close to 150mil total after sales. We already sold El Sharaawy for 16 and used part of the cash to get Lapadula. I'd expect we'll conduct similar businesses over the course of the summer

My biggest concern though is with who we will be replacing Bacca with since it seems most likely he'll be leaving. The names floating around are just not good enough

i agree, if they sell bacca, we need very good replacement, bacca guarantee us goals.

I've already stated my view on him up, he's extremely injury prone, missed half of the season this year, came back in December and played through until the end of February and got injured again. Should it be wise to spend this much on him? Mind you, in that period he came back (mid December-end of February) Villarreal havent lost a single game, and kept a few clean sheets as well, most notably, the one against Madrid, which was Musacchio's best performance, alongside his Napoli match.

With Musacchio and Pjaca, thats 50m off ffrom our reported 100m budget

Glaring weaknesses in our side:

-Need at least 2 creative midfielders (3 wouldnt hurt)
-Need a CDM who's good with the ball at his feet to operate in front of the defence
-Need back up wingers for Bona/Pjaca (Honda aint gonna cut it), im not sure what will become of Suso as well so, question mark there
-Need a more experienced keeper with DL heading out

With the remaining budget, i see us getting 2 more players really, we're already on Kovacic's heels and Montella apparently wants a 'great' midfielder for that role in front of the defence.

kovacic would be great, and i wish we had gone for wijnaldum

Jose Sosa

You cant make this up

Cannot wait 'til he gets the boot

by dostoevsky Fri Jul 08, 2016 1:11 pm

"400 million euros in two years."

"Milan are chasing Kovacic, Paredes, Zielinski."

Nekminnit, close to Sosa and turned down by Joaquin. rofl

understanding Milan's operations is more difficult than science

by Guest Fri Jul 08, 2016 5:17 pm

hope we havent lost any appeals on how great milan is, and that some great players sign up for us because on long term project is gonna be huge. at least, we will be needing squad to finish top 3 in CL spot beecause rivals knows milan and inter now will have significant budget and napoli roma juve has strengthen themselves

by uzonero Fri Jul 08, 2016 5:41 pm

Montella said our target is europa :smile:

by Kaladin Sat Jul 09, 2016 4:32 am

Multiple reports last night including Sky saying Pjaca prefers Juve. Meh

Jose Fkn Sosa rofl

by Kaladin Sat Jul 09, 2016 12:57 pm

Milan is interested in Cuadrado, Montella requested him (Sky)

by Kaladin Sat Jul 09, 2016 2:23 pm

Nevermind that was a fake report, Roman denied it

by Based Bonera Sat Jul 09, 2016 9:59 pm

Read page 34 and then this one.

Milan in a nutshell lol. Its a frickin' roller coaster.

by dostoevsky Sun Jul 10, 2016 1:24 am

According to Sky we've made Zielinski our midfield priority, price tag of 13 million euros.

Mediaset Premium are stating we've negotiated Villarreal down to 25 million for Musacchio.

by Kaladin Sun Jul 10, 2016 5:14 am

Of all the Empoli midfielders, we go for Zielinski :facepalm:

, guy seems like a slightly better version of Bertolacci, it seems the only criterion for us chasing midfielders is if he scored a couple of goals lol

Also, we are fighting with Everton for Badelji according to Sky

by dostoevsky Sun Jul 10, 2016 5:45 am

I would prefer to bring in Paredes, but I'm not against buying Zielinski. He's not the sort of midfielder who I'd have approved of under our previous management with Sinisa but I feel Montella can make good use of his skillset.

He's certainly not the complete package yet. He struggled against Juventus in particular due to his size and lack of strength, Pogba simply dominated him physically. He's also not particularly prolific but it should be noted that he's more of a central midfielder than an attacking one.

Good close control, passes well, agile. If we're to simply acquire Zielinski it won't be enough but if he's one of two creative midfield additions, in addition to a new anchor, I'd be content with bringing him in for a decent price.

by Kaladin Sun Jul 10, 2016 6:06 am

I'm pessimistic about our chances of getting another midfielder, is all. Especially, after the Bert/Witsel saga last summer.

Anyways, if Roma aren't idiots (They're not) they'll keep Paredes, thats a free Pjanic replacement for them.

by Kaladin Sun Jul 10, 2016 11:11 am

Romano is saying we are interested in Cuadrado now

by Kaladin Sun Jul 10, 2016 2:36 pm

SKY's Di Stefano: "Zielinksi is the first name on Montella's list of midfielders."

key phrase: list of midfielders Proud

by dostoevsky Sun Jul 10, 2016 2:41 pm

Sky also reveal that in line with Galliani's suggestion that Milan acquire an experienced champion, Montella's list includes Simone Perotta.

As a coach or a player? He's 38 Laughing

by Kaladin Sun Jul 10, 2016 2:45 pm

Scared me there for a second Laughing

by dostoevsky Sun Jul 10, 2016 2:52 pm

Just joking around Cruijf, don't worry. Laughing

Though in times past, 38 wouldn't have been a problem. Proud

by Kaladin Sun Jul 10, 2016 3:13 pm

Di Marzio: Juve have been given the green light for Pjaca, negotiations only left

by dostoevsky Sun Jul 10, 2016 3:23 pm

Sky also stating Pjaca's chosen Juventus and it will all be wrapped up soon.

The first step from Pjaca to Cuadrado to Iturbe to re-signing Prince is almost complete. Proud
