Good points Jack .. IMO, its crucial for the team to have a solid back-line. Especially after Maldini. Nesta's situation after the surgery will be a gray area, his problem is that he pushes too hard as a professional that he brings all sorts of complications to his physical ability as a human being. That said, if he comes back from the operation and his tests show an improvement, then the club will most likely stick with him as a first team player and one CB position already covered.
Another point is Borriello, he has not really been given a chance yet. The positive he is a Milan youth product - which fills the UEFA quota on the minimum required homegrown players. And though he has missed almost a whole season (9 months) of no activity as a player, Eduardo scored a brace in his first game after the operation, hence anything is possible (IMG:

On the midfield, the way I see it, Milan doesn't have room for Gourcuff. The only way he would get in the mix, is if he produces a string of performances that would drive one of the current midfielders to the bench. And considering Beckham's form, Gourcuff's job has just gotten harder.

Mediaset is saying that Milan are really interested in Mexes...but Roma are asking 20 million.
I think Milan will go for Mexes if Roma ever consider selling the player. And I think, considering the rapport between the two clubs Milan has the upper hand. But yes, he wont come cheap.
