As for not being greedy. I don't know if I am being so, but I just don't want to see us wasting 20m+ on someone like Kalinic for example, or even this Hakan dude when I'd rather it be spent on a proper top CM rather than an AM who's unproven. I think we've made great moves so far, but wasting so much money on Kalinic would be a mistake.


Who do you want to sign in midfield? Someone who won't cost us +60M.

Why not pay +60M for a proper midfielder and not buy Kalinić instead?

Still with this alpha-beta argument. If both defenders are good there's no problem to worry about.


Neither Mexes or Alex were rubbish. By our standards they weren't incredible, but as defenders we're talking Milan, Roma and Chelsea level. And both could play ok alongside Zapata - because of the alpha beta thing.

But when they were together they were absolutely howling.

Other examples? PSG - Silva and Luiz - both as alpha and it was howling. Both separately world class defenders but cannot play together because they're alpha:

I stand by my reasoning on this. You MUST have a leader and a follower otherwise it doesn't work. I just don't know which one of our new defenders will be which.

It will be hard to attract top talent without CL. So I think we need to build the foundations first. One step at a time :-)

Back to the Dolla saga, just read that at the U21 Euro with 10 shots on goal he let 6 in. Remind me, what are we gonna pay him?

Baresi & Maldini, which one of them was Alpha and which one of them was Beta ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Maldini & Nesta, the same question ?

Costacurta & Maldini ?

Bonucci and Chiellini ?

I don't agree with your findings.

Biglia received an offer from Man United but he intends to keep his word with Milan. His agent will arrive between Tuesday & Wednesday #GdS

Plizzari is expected to renew his contract and leave on loan. Ternana in Serie B are interested in the goalkeeper. [Sportitalia]

A deal for Kalinic could be closed for €25m or €20m + a technical counterpart. [Sky]

Milan will likely meet Fiorentina to talk about Kalinic on Thursday. [Sky]

Milan will likely increase their offer for Calhanoglu tomorrow, while there is no interest in Kampl. [Sky]

Milan have refused a €10m offer from Besiktas for Gustavo Gomez. [Sky]

Donnarumma's father will attend the meeting between his son and Milan for the contract extension [Sky]

For UK viewers the Champions Cup is on Premier Sports. Nice sociable hours too.

Will any of our new signings be taking part in it?

Yes, it seems like a blitz signing. According to Twitter (@Planetmilan) Borini will have his medical tomorrow; two buy options: €1 million season loan plus €5 million buy-option & bonus or buy for €6 million plus bonuses.

Filler signing I guess. But I'd rather give a kid a chance then bring in such a low quality player.

Agreed. Would rather give more opportunities to Patrick Cutrone than a washed up player.

Who never played any decent football. At least with the likes of Destro, Adriano etc you had to hold onto something. This guy disappointed always.

I believe Mira had been following Borini for some time, wonder if he sees something there. However, it is hard for me to get excited about a Liverpool reject. Have to wonder what's behind this signing. Fill a role on the cheap so we can splurge on a marquee signing? Or concern that we are not selling players like Niang or Bacca? Or perhaps a way to put more pressure on these players (as their chances of seeing play time is reduced).
