Yeah, Cuadrado would be a more sure thing. Too bad he's already 28, so he can't be considered a future investment.

But I think his price is negotiable, so we can lower it from the reported 20m Chelsea want for him

Because, even for all this talk about the new owners coming in. I get the feeling that atm there's like zero cash to be spent. Silvio certainly won't be pouring it in considering he's about to hand over the club, and until the agreement is actually signed (read that is could be postponed again...), there's no cash. So I get the feeling that Galliani is going around promising clubs that the club will make a solid move once the ownership problem is settled.

According to sky Pjaca has given the green light to Juve, so as far as I'm concerned, nothing has changed. It's the same issue as last summer. And I also think we were waiting to sell Bacca to close the Pjaca deal.

So going by this, I would really like to see us spend whatever money we have as wisely as possible, and Pjaca wouldn't have been a smart move imo. He could just as easily turn into the next Krasic if you ask me. And atm we don't have the luxury of taking such a risk.

That being said, the names we're now being linked to worry more than anything else. It's gone from Kovacic and Andre Gomes to Zielinski and Sosa, just screams of typical Galliani moves to me. Next thing is we'll be linked to every Genoa player there is.

Don't get me wrong, I think Zielinski is a talented player, but he's not at the level we need to make an instant jump in quality which is gravely needed by the team

Apparently we're close to signing Lasagna... I mean, I have no words. So we supposedly have cash now but we're going after even worse than mediocre players who ply their trade in Serie B and for Carpi????!!!!

FFS, all the hope I had last week has just been sucked right out of me. Going after these types of players is the very core of our problems. Galliani will never learn

Lasagna just got announced as a lie. But the news is worse. Apparently no transfers shall happen until the prelim agreement is signed. And that will be pushed till the end of the month! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

True, but you never know. MilanNews are the ones who denied it, but Gazzetta is the one who came out with it. Tbh, I wouldn't be all that shocked if we signed him...

And if this preliminary continues to be pushed back there'll be no time left to rebuild this side. This is already the 3rd time that it's been pushed back, it was first supposed to happen at the end of June.

Honestly, I thought this summer the coach (for once) would be given a proper squad for his pre-season preparations, and if not the squad we'll be starting the season with, at least it would be very close to complete. Now the team will be off to America in a few weeks and nothing can be done. The only money we can spend is if we sell Bacca and use that. And going by Galliani's track record that's potentially money down the drain for the likes of Pavoletti, Sosa and [insert random Genoa player here]

Guys, it's pointless banging yours heads around it. Just wait and take things as they come.

No one is banging heads. Just the usual Han: wouldn't expect any less.

Di Marzio: "Milan have an agreement with Udinese for Zielinski for 18 million. Now they must negotiate with the player"

Han will be most happy.

Is he any good? And very confusing piece of news if you have in mind that our transfer moves have been blocked, yes?

No idea. Never saw him in the Serie A this year and I don't remember him at all in the Euros, LOL.

And I don't have a frigging clue what's going on with our transfers.

So yesterday we're told that the transfer market is blocked and today we apparently reached an agreement with Udine for Zielinski...

Just pointless to even follow the transfer news at this point as it's clear no one knows wtf is going on.


As for Zielinski, I think if the fee is correct from Di Marzio we're paying a bit too much for him. That being said, he was wanted by Napoli and Liverpool (read that he rejected Napoli and Liverpool had yet to find an agreement with Udine). As for the player, I think he's a very good prospect, but certainly won't be the addition that will make an instant impact, but he is a big prospect for the future as he's very highly regarded.

I watched a couple of his vids on yt (I know, I know), and from what I could tell he's good with both feet (something we desperately need imo as most of our players are completely useless when using their weaker foot. He's got a decent range of passing and good change of pace. He's certainly not a regista though, more like a major upgrade of Bertolacci or the type of role we wanted Berto to play

Just read that we still have matri FFS!

More the delay in this Milan sale going through, more the season would be worrying

We still have a lot of baggage that needs to be let go.

So far nothing has happened, and the longer this thing keeps getting delayed, the worse our season will start

You put too much weigh on these transfer rumors. Just let it go, switch your brain off. Only react when there's something concrete or reliable. Otherwise, it's pointless.

Personally, I only check transfer rumors when I'm bored, and even then I don't really care that much.

The thing is, even if Milan ain't gonna sign the various Sosa's and Pavoletti's, it's still a trend. Fact remains, we're again linked with subpar players and not real reinforcements.
