I’m puzzled of no LFW rumors lately. How does Gattuso intend to play? I just hope he’s not planinng on playing Hakan in that position again.

Worst signing ever. Kalanic. Can you imagine, he refused to get on for Croatia? Then, they go on to the finals. He really likes taking bad decisions.. He will be shown the way out for sure.

What are we waiting for, we should get Conte in already.

Conte would be a dream, I think Rino is in over his head. If we start badly, which is possible with the fixture list we've been saddled with, then this will be another season down the drain for us

The only thing that makes me pause about Conte is the 3 man back-line system he uses. It would make us have to go in for another CB and possibly a proper WB as Rodriguez cannot play that position

QUOTE (CrazyMilanFan @ Aug 3 2018, 09:49 AM) *
Btw what formation will be playing? I suppose it will be 4 at back.. Main question would be 2 strikers or 3 as we only have one pure winger (suso).

4-3-3 as long as Rino is the man at the helm

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Aug 3 2018, 10:15 AM) *
We need a left winger at all cost. Hakan will play either as a mezz’ala in the 4-3-3 or as AM in the 4-2-3-1 (my favorite).

Bernard was a golden opportunity which Leo passed up, I read he was getting 6m per year at Everton, which is probably why Leo passed up on him, he's a decent winger but not worth that. These EPL clubs are making things hard on everyone. Max Meyer is going to get somthing like 8m at Crystal Palace FFS! We simply cannot match those kind of salaries unless they're a top top player, we won't give anyone that kind of money

Most rumours lately are about mids to replace Bona in the starting 11, this makes me think Hakan will keep his position if we fail to bring in a good winger. And honestly, I read a lot of bad stuff about his performances in the midfield, he's definitely better playing further forward on the pitch. I think it's easy to say, let's just move him into the midfield, but I don't think he'd pull that off effectively, and right now, if you ask me to make a choice between getting a top mid or a top winger, I'd go for the midfielder. Hakan can play that position, and he was very good there last season. Bona has been a nightmare in midfield, having someone in there who can bring the ball forward and can make good passing decisions will make the difference for us, much more than a winger

QUOTE (CrazyMilanFan @ Aug 3 2018, 11:32 AM) *
I like that 4-2-3-1 as well. If we manage to give service to higuin goals will surely come.

We still have bacca as well. We need to sell kalanic and him that will raise 30 million and invest that in midfield.

Kalinic is gone, 15m I'm reading. Bacca and Silva could e next. Let's hope Leo can get these done quick. We also need to move Monto and probably Abate on as well. All have big wages and aren't even useful as subs anymore for us.

QUOTE (amancik @ Aug 6 2018, 06:09 PM) *
Any thoughts on Milinkovic-Savic. Is he any good? Worth close to 100 million?

He'd be a dream signing, but it's impossible for us to get him I'm afraid. Rabiot and Kovacic would be a little more realistic, but still very hard to get. Hopefully we don't settle for someone like Baselli, who we were linked to yesterday, he won't improve our team and will be another body we'd have to move along in a short time from now

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Aug 7 2018, 07:04 AM) *
Bernard to Everton seeme like a done deal. Too bad, he could have been a decent singing. Perhaps Leo has someone else in mind?

Let's hope so, time it ticking quickly now, we have less than 2 weeks to make some crucial sales (Bacca, Silva, Monto, Antonelli) and bring in the winger and midfielder we need.

My only worry here is that we're going into another season with EL and a thin squad when it comes to wingers and mids

We have no vice-Suso, Borini is the only alternative for the LW, we have no one who could rotate with Kessie, Biglia is injury prone and Monto is finished while Locatelli for me has regressed, he needs to be sent to a team like Atalanta on loan, where he could surely learn and improve, and currently, Bona is the only player for that LCM spot.

So let's assume we bring in a RW and a CM, we could have a bit more depth and different options for tactical switches as Hakan and Bona are versatile but still no one to cover Kessie and a real threat of having to start with Borini if Suso and the new winger (if he comes) get injured

QUOTE (Jack Sparrow @ Aug 7 2018, 09:24 AM) *
It is now reported that he is going for 15 MM. Looks like we're giving a huge discount. Rumours were Atleti were offering 20 MM with option to buy or 15 MM with obligation to buy. We probably wanted to get rid of his wages too. But in general, it's cool. We need to let go of him ASAP.

Another report is that we might offload Andre Silva to Sevilla.

Getting even 15m for him is already a miracle imo, Leo managed to pull off another great deal imo. As long as it's a permanent transfer that is all that matters. After the year he had with us and then that World Cup debacle, I'm amazed we could still get that much for him, add to that the high salary he was given being taken off the books, and it's a win win for us

Sevilla want Bacca last I heard, they don't want to pay 15m for him, I doubt they can afford to pay the 30m being quoted that we want for Silva

QUOTE (CrazyMilanFan @ Aug 7 2018, 03:18 PM) *

Silva cannot stay here imo, With Higuain there is no question who the starter is this season. Cutrone will also find it hard to get a look in, we can't have both of them sitting on the bench wasting away.

I would like to see what he could do in Serie A if given the proper chances. We should send him on loan, but if a good offer comes in this summer, then we should cut our losses and invest that money where we really need it

Definitely 4-3-3. We'll see what happens. I read that they're focusing on players sales right now. I honestly don't see that many wingers available on the market, it could be difficult for us to sign someone who could make a real impact for us. I'd personally rather see them concentrate more heavily on signing a top mid tbh

It's not Bacca really, we want a certain amount, Villareal are no meeting our demands, personally, I think we should just accept whatever they're offering for him, pocket the 10m or so that's being said they want to pay and take him off the books. It's a still a win for us as it's another big wage we do not have to pay for a player who's simply not doing anything to be worthy of earning it

Bacca had good offers from Turkey or China (good for him and good for Milan), but he insists on playing in Spain.

I kind of agree, except I believe we lost money selling Kalinic, and with Villareal's offer we are going to be losing money on Bacca as well. As I understand it, these losses will not help with the FFP situation.

That's probably why Milan is trying to squeeze a little more money out of Bacca. Kalinic was a hopeless situation (given his performance over his last year, WC in particular), so they probably were happy to get 15M out of it.

Well you can't force the player, I wouldn't want to go to either of those countries either. He wants to play in Spain, I say cut your losses and sell him to Villareal.

In the long run, we'd lose more by keeping them on the books anyway. I'd prefer to get some sort of transfer fee for them rather than having them sit on our bench and draining our resources



BREAKING: Milan going forward for Bakayoko from Chelsea trying to sign him on loan with option to buy, according to @DiMarzio

Milan are in advanced negotiations with Chelsea for midfielder Bakayoko. Milan will look to close a deal on loan with option to buy. The midfielder has not had much playing time at Chelsea. [Sky]


According to Sky Italia, Milan’s dream signing in the midfield is Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. It remains a very difficult deal


Let's see, both would raise the level in our midfield significantly. Bakayoko was a complete donkey at Chelsea, but his performances in the CL with Monaco are still memorable to me. So the ability is there, probably not a good fit at Chelsea


Milinkovic seems surreal, if we sign him... Nope, not going there

Draxler- Ricardo Rodriguez swap being mentioned on Football-italia. Wonder why we have not considered Draxler earlier for wing

Haven't read anywhere else that EPL clubs want him though. Either way, we should just make the concession and seel him. He earns close to 8m gross. We can't have that kind of burden on the books for a player who will not even play this season

The article pretty much agrees with you. It suggests that even if we sell him at a loss on the books, we should do it anyway and get rid of the salary.

OTOH, it looks like Silva may be on his way out (link). If so, I wonder if we should keep Bacca.

Lucci, who is the agent for both Suso and Bertolacci in Casa Milan. He was in Roma HQ yesterday. Unsure if he's come in with an official offer for Suso. Suso renewed recently and we don't know if it is still a 40 MM release clause.

We're linked to Draxler. Also rumours Bacca might go to Villareal for cash plus Castillejo.

BREAKING: Andre Silva to Sevilla is a done deal, all that is missing is the medical to make it official, according to Sky.

Sky are reporting Andre Silva will join Sevilla on a dry loan.

Luca Antonelli will join Empoli, according to @DiMarzio.

Milan are heading towards terminating Montolivo’s contract. They are negotiating the severence pay. [Libero]

Milan and Sassuolo have found an agreement on the price of Locatelli at €12m + bonuses, but there’s still no agreement on the buy-back option for Milan that would be available for Milan for the first two years. They will try to close the deal by next week. [Gazzetta dello Sport]

Bakayoko should join Milan on a paid loan of €5m with the option to buy for €30m. Milan hope to divide his wages with Chelsea. [Gazzetta dello Sport]



Looks like a lot of things will be going down in the next couple of days, especially when it comes to outgoing players. I can only assume that this mass exodus is to free up the wage bill and some cash to try to make some final incoming transfers.

Let's hope we get that CM upgrade and a LW with some pace because this squad, even with Higuain, still looks like it won't be enough to get that 4th spot
