He's my first buy in career mode (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Great to play with in Fifa. Never actually saw him play though

Nope. Can't be bothered.

But I watched some comps of his last 2 games and the kid looks smooth. Can't wait to bring him in. He could have really helped out this season with just Diaz in that AM slot

You think really he will play in the AM slot? I certainly hope so, otherwise he'd be kind of a Kessie replacement. Well, technically, Bakayoko would be the Kessie replacement and Adli would be an additional player.

Stumbled upon this.

That Antony kid (#11) looks very impressive. Could be our solution to the RW problem. Current market value at 25M.

He looks really good. He has the hair to be Saelmakers replacement (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Bakayoko should never be Kessie's replacement. He can be Kessie's sub, but not replacement. The guy is a bench player. You think there is no reason why Chelsea have been loaning him out every single year? Or why no team he's ever played in has decided to sign him permanently?

Personally speaking I want Tonali-Bennacer to be our starting pair, even for this season. Adli and Bakayoko can be their subs. I don't think we've signed Adli for the AM role. In that regard I think we'll make another tentative for Faivre, even this January I read.

Totally agreed. For Bakayoko, I meant as a player who plays in Kessie's style in terms of physicality...but with no suggestion that he should be our starter.

With that said, I still hope Kessie signs a new deal.

He can apparently occupy both positions. Adli for me is more someone to cover for Bennacer than Kessie because he is a playmaker, and from the highlights I've seen of him he can play either deep or higher up the pitch. So having him with us this season would have been a great addition. But I understand why we had to compromise and leave him there for the season. At least he's getting regular football, which will mean he'll be better come next season when he joins the rest of the team

Bakayoko was great for us when he was last with us though. I wouldn't count him out just yet. I think he's just a player that needs to feel appreciated by his coach and the club. Pioli is great at integrating players and bringing the best out of them. If Baka can perform at the level he did 2 years ago, he'd be a steal at 15m. Especially with the prospect of losing Kessie looming

Faivre is more of a wide player though

Even if he performs at the level of 3 years ago, he's still not good enough to be a starter if we want to make that step ahead quality-wise. Bakayoko is a bench player, no more and no less. Great to have with you, but still a bench player.

Faivre is someone who can play both centrally and wide. At Brest for example in the last 3 league games he played twice as AM and once as RW. Would have been perfect to have with us right now cos those are the areas we're most lacking. And we were so close to signing him...

Hopefully we try to go for him in January

And I agree re Baka. But if we get caught out with this Kessie situation, we at least have a back up and with Tonali and Bennacer playing so well, it wouldn't be the huge blow we'd have been expecting just a few months ago

[X-Offender]

Gazzetta writes that we might go for both Adli and Faivre in January, especially if Kessie leaves beforehand for PSG or some other club.

Donnarumma unhappy with back-up role at PSG

So satisfying.

Calhanoglu believes he has ?excellent relations? with Milan fans and reveals plan in event of derby goal

Clown.

Goes to show how much they know. Adli is already a Milan player (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Gazetta have really gone down the quality ladder these past few years

Anyway, Di Marzio reported that we have sent an important offer to Kessie's agent and the management is confident that this will be the right offer to close the deal. Let's see...

No no, they meant that we might expedite his arrival.

Gazetta still tends to get most things wrong, especially related to Milan

Di Marzio and Romano are pretty much the only two I trust, and even they don't seem to have as much inside knowledge as they did under previous managements

[Fillipo Simone]

Who cares about Adli anyhow?
