We've made tentative contacts for Neto and Perin. I say we land Joe Hart. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Get some newsreels in England.

I don't have much to add here on the Dollaruma issue. You guys pretty much said it all. Disappointed, disgusted and I think he is a snake.

Really like how the management is rumoured to have given Montella full option to do what he wants with the player.

My only worry is that two players I really like - Abate and Bonaventura are both tagged to Raiola and now I'm worried about their futures in the club. Both of them are really loyal to the club as well.

Milannews.it: Contacts between Milan and Real Madrid for Donnarumma is expected to start in the coming days. The potential offer could be around €30m.

Corriere della Sera: Apart from Neto and Perin, there are also other tracks that Milan are looking at to replace Donnarumma. Udinese's Alex Meret remains a viable option.The easiest solution on the list is Pepe Reina. Napoli are demanding a mere €5m for the Spaniard and he would command a €2.5m/yr salary. Signing Reina would also increase the number of opportunities for Plizzari to play.

#IlGiornale: For the Chinese owners Donnarumma is not for sale. It's reported that Yonghong Li has said: "I spent over €800m for Milan, will I bankrupt if I don't collect €40m from a goalkeeper?" Donnarumma will stay on the stands until the end of his contract.

Repubblica - Tension between Milan and Raiola, even Bonaventura could leave.

If Real really want him we should at least try to ask for 50m first. I know it's probably too much considering what the scumbag has done and we have no leverage, but at least we should try to avoid low-balling ourselves. We got 18m for f@cking Niang, we should at least try to hold out for 40m on this snake.

As for replacements, there are many in Serie A, and if worse come to the the worse, I wouldn't bat an eye at playing Storari and Plizzari

Abate and Bonaventura could easily become victims.

I'd like Perin. I've always liked him and actually thought he's been overlooked since all the Snake hype.

Think he'd be an efficient, low cost, high performance replacement.

Abate is, sadly, a bit expendable, but we need Jack going forward. Players like him are the future.

Jack is 27 already. Wouldn't call him the future. But yes, we need that kind of player. Perhaps we could find a replacement?

That sounds silly, 30M is better than nothing and management needs to think about FFP. OTOH, it would be a fitting end to this saga


Yeah. Not good, but at this point severing all ties to Raiola would be best, even if it means losing Bona,

As a replacement, I like the idea of getting someone for the short term to allow some time for Plizzari to mature. But we need someone reasonably solid (Reina?), not someone that's coming off an ugly injury (like Perin). One possibility that was mentioned somewhere is Castilla. Sounds far-fetched, but I kind of like the idea.

He has 10 years of a career left. He's the future. He's grown in stature over the past two seasons and become more than what he was. I rated him differently in the past, in a way you'll remember.

He's massive to us now.

Yeah, but he is represented by Raiola, and Raiola did play a part in what happened with Donna (yeah, Donna ultimately made the choice, but I believe Raiola's influence did not help). So, I would not be surprised if we also lose Bona.

IN other news Ronaldo has told Real to sell him. I'd be over the moon if we landed him. A partnership of Silva and Ronaldo is just immense to think of! Jorge Mendes is our new Raiola! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Only thinking about it is making me jizz

F*ck off! No one is touching Bona.

Damn straight. Hands off Jack! He's ours.
