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.
It’s not about putting too much weight, I know that in most cases nothing comes from a rumour. But when a story seemingly lingers on, there’s usually truth to it. Also, this summer, the usually reliable sources like sky and Gazzatta have been terrible, starting with stories they’re reporting on the sale of the club to transfer market news.
So I’m a bit worried that we’re in mid-july and our only seemingly concrete targets are Zielinski and Sosa. Zielinski is an interesting player but still not going to turn this team around while I honestly do now know who at the club could possibly want Sosa. He was a failure at Napoli and in Spain. The Turkish league is at just about right for his level, so why we are seemingly so interested in taking on even more baggage is beyond me
And tbh, I had high hopes for this summer after that sale was confirmed, but atm it’s looking like the same old story repeating itself

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.
Agreed

Bertolacci is a gamble that is still in play. Let's wait out this season before deciding he's worthless. All talks of Kovacic has died down.
Bacca is turning out into a TV opera.
This Bacca story is getting irritating tbh. Don’t know what’s wrong with him to want to leave Milan to go to West Ham, at least aim higher and not just go where the cash is.
As for Berto, I honestly don’t know what you could possibly see in him. He’s weak and easily knocked off the ball, has little to no creative vision, is an average passer at best and doesn’t contribute a whole lot defensively either. He’s the definition of below average. I honestly do not know what our management saw in him to make them splash over 25m on this guy, he’s not even worth half of that. I think that should an opportunity to sell him come up, we need to jump on it

I'll give you the benefit of a doubt, but I'm very positive Bertolacci is a complete miss. He simply adds to nothing.
KovaÄić? Yes, it is a bit troublesome. But the good thing is, I haven't heard any other offer for him came in. So, we'll see.
Agreed on Berto, also I think we’re mostly just waiting for Real to see what they want to do with him. I wouldn’t be surprised if Galliani and Perex already have some sort of understanding between them

Oh and can someone enlighten me a explain why we're so eagerly interested in Sosa? The logic in signing Matri or Pavoletti is thin but still there, whereas this particular rumor that appears to linger puzzles me constantly.
Have no clue. Could be because he had a decent season in Turkey…
QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Jul 13 2016, 11:09 AM)
Seems like we found our replacement for Bacca in Pavoletti. The deal might, according to MN, include 10M + Suso, but Matri is also in consideration. Way to go, get rid of past baggage, create new one.
Candreva also linked with Milan, while rumors regarding Cuadrado died off along with KovaÄić. This is getting better and better...
Why are we filling up on mediocre strikers? It’s like we’re signing Gilardino over and over again…
As for Candreva, no comment or kurt would immediately jump on me with his stats. But all I have to say is that Lazio want good cash for him, cash he’s not worth
