Niang? Wasn't Niang a hotshot talent for whom we fought just recently?

Yeah, why would we sell a promising 17 y.o kid? It's not like anyone expected him to play many games in his first season..

Apparently he hasn't convinced, not even the Primavera's coach Dolcetti.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) so...another Grimi, but a pretty darn expensive Grimi. That would really be idiotic.

I think it's sad how if one youth player doesn't convince some one (i.e. their coach at the time), his entire career can get hurt. Happens all the time I guess. Pretty sure if Pato stayed healthy and we still had iBra we'd be hearing Allegri being "unconvinced" by El Shaarawry too

That is mitigated by sending them on co-ownership deals, which gives other teams the incentive to play them in Professional competitions instead of warming the bench at a bigger club. Thing is, no talent is wasted by coaches because there are tones of scouts out there who bring these players to the attention of many other clubs, etc.

Sole reason a talent is wasted is when the player does an Adriano.

I'm not sure our strategy also works.

Pierre Aubemyang was really great for us in the primevera and we loaned him continually and eventually sold him for peanuts....bow look at him go in France!
We've not gotten the best out of Kluivert, Elber, Davids, Vieria etc and none of them did an Adriano.

If we couldn't get him when his contract was expiring, I can't see how we can do it now that he's renewed.

And some people here were sure he was ours...

Can't say I'm sorry. From what I've seen, not worth the trouble/expectations.

Yeah who needs him when there is the diesel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

So Boateng and Robinho out in Jan?

What are we looking at for potential cash, 35?

Well, Robinho will be sold for €9 million max. As for Boateng, well, we'd be lucky to get anything close to the €20 million mark, but I really can't see why any team would offer so much money for a player like him.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Man I wish we sold Boa when Real came knocking with 28Mil" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

EDIT: And you usually end up getting the player departures we want, but it's the replacements and reinvestments that are Milan's real problem. Here's to hoping if we loose anyone this Winter, we use the money to get QUALTIY players for the positions we NEED.

If there's been one huge mistake in that regard, it was not selling Pato to PSG for €35 million last January. Maybe we might not have even sold one between Silva and Ibra if that had happened.
