Nothing but an average Italian midfielder, he's Bonaventura, Monto level. Was bad with Italy against Portugal as well. 15m for a bench quality player is not worth it. We already have Poli and Monto for that imo

Watching Italy last week shows the true lack of talent Italy have in the upcoming generation. Verratti is the only one that stands out. Soriano and Bertolacci are the ones that are being rated highly yet neither is particularly impressive and were bad for Italy against Portugal.

If we want success, Italy is not the place to go looking for talent. Which is what makes the ItalMilan statements from Berlu even more ridiculous

Well, looks like he's a 100% Roma player now, who paid €16 million for his other half and Iago Falque, so I guess we won't be getting him.

Who would you guys want for in midfield? Personally, if we're going for 4-3-3, then two CMs (Witsel and Gündogan) are a must. Otherwise, if we're going for 4-3-1-2, then I'd get one of those two and Isco as trequartista.

Let's face it, aside from De Jong the entire midfield needs an overhaul.

We're going for 4-3-1-2, that's almost a 100% certainty.

Gudogan and Witsel would be huge. There are other options though, like I said above, Inter could be looking to offload some mids with Kondogbia earning so much not to mention the transfer fee and their FFP problems.

Kovacic, Hernanes and Guarin are all good options imo.

Turan has been mentioned a lot but I can't see him wanting to come, neither Isco tbh. Even though he's not a sure starter at Real, he still gets a lot of minutes for them, but yeah, he'd be a great addition for the AM role, but I'd personally rather go for Ibra rather than get an AM.

What i would give to have Darmian back at Milan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

We have Abate, DS and Antonelli, can't see him being a priority anytime soon and imo, with all the other issues we have in the squad, he shouldn't be

I would be much more interested to have Palo back, he would be perfect as a second striker if we are to lose Pazzini.

Way I see it, inter spend what $$ they have. They are not exactly going to go into another 45 million deal anytime soon.

Knowning Berlusconi, the elections and the boost that he will no longer be burdened by Milan alone, he will go for a BIG name. As he did for the dutch trio, Shevchenko and the likes. Would it be bold of me to state that there could be a super star of a player coming in? why not?

You never know how things could change, or did you forget Galliani keeps his cards close to his chest, always has always will.

Milan is still finalizing formalities for a sale 'to happen'. There is a lot of time, Milan does not have to act hastily. At least let the window open first. I'm hoping Milan bring in a proven champion to spearhead the attack.

Don't really mind which names they bring for the rest of the team, just that he does exceptionally well in comparison to the likes of montolivo and the likes.

Paloschi?

He's a poacher not a second striker, and I really do hope that we're aiming a lot more higher than that

Still would love to see him back , hes been linked with Juventus too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Apparently Galliani has said that we'll sign one big name in midfield and one big name in attack. That's it? We need 4-5 top quality signings to have CL ambitions next season, not just 1-2.

And these Cavani rumors are just BS when you think about it. PSG paid €65 million for him and he earns €14 million per season. We can never match that.

We shouldn't go for these flashy names, they're out of our reach. We should go after really good and available players, like Jackson and Kondogbia were. But we fucked that up, so let's look elsewhere.

Agreed, this Cavani thing would be nothing but a wild goose chase that would lead us to nowhere

However, Rai are saying that we're still very much interested in Ibra and that PSG have told Cavani that he'll be playing the CF position next season. I think the talk about PSG wanting a big signing to be confirmed before letting go of Ibra is correct.

Imbula being mentioned again. Well, I personally think Kondogbia is the better player, however, having watched vids of both, Imbula seems more of an attacking player than Kondogbia. Kondogbia imo is more of a defensively inclined mid, now whether he's a DM or box-to-box isn't really the issue, just watching the vids of both you can see that one excels in the attacking department while the other in the defensive department.

And with De Jong staying I think it's more important for us to have someone who will give a more attacking push in midfield, the type of player who will make powerful runs from midfield, and Imbula looks like he'd be that type of player

Plus he's half the price Kondogbia went for plus half the wages.

If we do go for him that would only leave us needing one purely creative mid. Hopefully that's the plan if we go for either Witsel or Imbula, because neither of them are creators even though they do have attacking qualities

what do guys think about Allan?

Good, better than Bertolacci imo, but still, these are all players who should be mutually exclusive. Allan, Witsel and Imbula are all guys who I'd regard as the box-to-box guy, they're all good on both sides of the ball. Obviously they all vary in terms of quality, Witsel being the best of the bunch.

Either one of them would be good, the big signing needs to come in the form of a creative mid imo

Like who?
