QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ May 12 2017, 08:20 AM) Montella at risk. Not surprising given recent results. What worries me is that the name mentioned as a likely replacement is Mancini. I really believe he is over-rated, so not too happy with this. They've both denied it. It's just that every time a new acquisition comes they want to spread rumours about everything getting shaken up. We're not Inter. We're at least stable.

QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ May 11 2017, 05:16 AM) Overall what I see is promising. However, I have a bad feeling about Donna. If he gets a crazy offer from a top club (high salary + CL) why would he not want to go for that? I understand the bit about needing more time to mature, but I am not sure I would turn down a real good offer on the hope that maybe I will get a better one a few years from now.
Don't think it really matters for us, but I believe Raiola is being investigated for the Pogba deal, so he may not be all that inclined to come up with other "creative" deals. I personally think he'll renew. We'll see but the new management want to keep him at all costs and I'm sure they'll offer him a great deal QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ May 12 2017, 01:50 AM) Montella at risk. Not surprising given recent results. What worries me is that the name mentioned as a likely replacement is Mancini. I really believe he is over-rated, so not too happy with this. Nah, Montella will stay, Mancini is the obvious link because of the Inter connection but I can't see it happening, and I pray that it won't QUOTE (Danny @ May 12 2017, 10:56 AM) It's on the cards. And Montella has known it for a long time. It's why he spoke up returning to Roma. I personally don't think that's the case at all. Montella will be our coach next season barring some major turn of events

QUOTE AC Milan have been tipped to make seven new signings this summer at a cost of around €160m as they look to transform the current team.
Vincenzo Montella and his side are currently in a real battle to qualify for the Europa League for next season, but the starting line-up is expected to look a lot different after this summer.
Follow Sumeet on Twitter @SP_Calcio for all the latest Milan talk and transfer news.
Following Yonghong Li’s takeover last month, the Rossoneri are set to bolster their squad significantly and according to Calciomercato it will involve a €160m spending spree to give the line-up a facelift.
€120m of that will come from the new ownership, while the sales of Carlos Bacca, Mattia De Sciglio and M’Baye Niang are set to add another €40m+ to the coffers.
Ricardo Rodriguez and Mateo Musacchio are said to be closing in on moves to the San Siro, with the former set to cost €18m plus bonuses with a transfer likely to be wrapped up next week.
Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian will fill the right-back spot, while Luiz Gustavo and Franck Kessie are touted as being the top targets for the midfield with moves for Mateo Kovacic and Lorenzo Pellegrini being more complicated.
Moving further up the field, Keita Balde and Alvaro Morata are seen as the ideal reinforcements up front with the pair costing €20m and €60m respectively. Fiorentina forward Nikola Kalinic is seen as a cheaper alternative and so time will tell how ambitious Milan can be or if they will have to settle for their second-choices.
Meanwhile, Calciomercato also note that Manuel Locatelli could be sent out on loan next season in order to avoid a scenario where his development stagnates with Milan.
With new arrivals expected and the youngster suffering from a dip in form after his initial breakthrough, it may well be the most sensible decision rather than forcing him to sit on the bench, while reassuringly it’s added that there is no intention to sell him.
However, given what he can offer the team, especially compared to the current options at Montella’s disposal, it has been a real source of frustration not to see him play more and prove that he deserves a permanent spot in the starting line-up moving forward.
Possible Milan XI next season: Donnarumma; Darmian (or Abate), Musacchio, Romagnoli, Rodriguez; Kessie, Luiz Gustavo, Bonaventura; Suso, Morata and Keita. It's not quite PSG but it's one hell of an upgrade. If any of it happens.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ May 13 2017, 03:49 PM) Luiz Gustavo? Really? How about no. We should aim for someone creative, Fabregas, Kovacic, whatever, not frigging Luiz Gustavo. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) I think Gustavo will be coming but I think he might be used in rotation with Kessie, from the reports we're seeing, I think someone creative and of certain recognition will come as the "big name signing" for the summer. Cesc might be a dream right now, but we could be looking at other players the media is not yet aware of atm

QUOTE (Danny @ May 14 2017, 02:59 PM) We look close to sealing Kessie but there are apparently doubts about keeping Suso. Thankfully - I'd ship him out ASAP. We'll see, I'd still keep Suso. We've seen how good he can be, even with very little support. Give him a proper team around him and we'd get even more productivity from him. Anyway, last I read was that we were close to agreeing terms with his agent for his renewal, so I don't think there should be any problems

QUOTE (amancik @ May 15 2017, 02:00 AM) Guys, I have a question. Do you think having a central attacking midfielder or trequartista is still a thing nowadays or is it out-dated? While I love the old traditional Rui-Costa type of player, I'm not sure whether this is effective anymore. This relates to my opinion whether we should keep Deulofeu and/or Suso if we're switching to a different formation next season. Because if we do change formation which includes an AM or trequartista, then I don't mind if we don't buy Deulofeu or let Suso leave. I'd like to know your opinion. It depends. The classic No.10 through whom all plays pass has sort of died down now. Because there is a tactic in place to stop that from happening. But we still see really good free players who sort of reside between the lines. They tend to go looking for space and generally roam around. Sometimes they start on the wing, or in that SS position, but generally end up being a focal point in the attack. It's just that with modern football, being all about pressing and squeezing space, a classic No.10 is no longer as effective as he used to be.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ May 18 2017, 01:58 AM) Mediaset also confirming that Kessie is a done deal. 28 million to Atalanta and 2,5 million to the player, including bonuses. 28 million includes bonuses I think. And we're also closing a deal with Ricardo Rodriguez for 15 MM apparently. (12MM+bonuses). His wage would be around 3 MM a year though. So I guess this means, De Sciglio is out for sure?
