This article says we're interested in signing Biglia, whereas Keita is closer to Juventus.

I really hope Biglia isn't our answer in midfield. He's not the creative player that we need. What we truly need is a Pjanic/Modric/Fabregas level of genius that can elevate our entire midfield output. Biglia is a slightly better Montolivo, nothing exciting.

Honda has announced that he's leaving Milan.

Hopefully the #10 shirt sees a rightful owner after the embarrassments of Boateng and Honda.

Most outlets are saying that we're close to Keita. It seems sky and Pedulla will be the outlets to follow this summer, mediaset have been completely off base recently.

Anyway, the last thing I read on twitter was that Lazio Channel reported that Mirabelli and Fassone are in Rome and they're discussing both Keita and Biglia

Nah, Jack is not a #10 imo. We need a proper maestro to adorn that shirt once again

Last I read we had reached an agreement with both Atalanta and the player. Nothing official yet.

They probably won't make it so until the season is over, same goes for Rodriguez

What do you guys think of Biglia? I can only imagine that they want to add him to the rotation to have a better bench, especially since a lot of players will be leaving

Kucka, Poli, Mati, Honda, Berto, Pasalic and maybe even Loca will go out on loan, so there will be a lot of places that need to be filled. And if an offer arrives for Sosa, he'll also be out

I don't think we're in a position to sign someone like Biglia just for the bench. If he comes, he'll be a starter. That's why I don't want him.

Kessie can perfectly play in front of the defense.

What do you guys think about Florian Thauvin? He scored 15 goals for Marseille in Ligue 1.

I think there were some problems with him at Newcastle. But perhaps I'm wrong. Thauvin is one of those players that could potentially turn out good or bad. Very risky.

So is there really a 100M offer from City for Donna?

Well we have Bona, Kessie and we're reportedly going after a big name (Cesc, and now there are rumbles about Radja as well. I think I saw about 5 different tweets about it yesterday, and they were from sky, etc)

I'm not saying we're definitely going to get a big name this summer, we might simply not be able to attract someone of a certain calibre, even if we have the money because of no CL football.

But my thinking is that they also want to improve the bench, especially when the majority of our mids will most likely be leaving this summer. Biglia is a very good player imo, but not someone we should be looking to build around. But he'd still be a great add to the squad if we can get him and a top name for the midfield

Haven't seen anything concrete on that tbh. Anyway, Fassone has made it clear that Donna is a priority, I personally think he'll renew this summer

Plus, I don't think Guardiola would actually want Donna, he's not exactly good with his feet

Yeah. Isn't that why he sold Hart in the first place?

I think it's very premature to say Donna isn't good with his feet. I remember a bunch of German friends saying the same for Neuer at Schalke (and praising Adler who was supposed to be better in this department). Now look what he learned!

True, but Guardiola wants an instant solution, not someone who will be what he wants in 2 or 3 year's time (he will most likely not even be at City by then)



Anyway, look at sky's projected line-up for next season

Milan's probable 17/18 XI:

Donnarumma; Conti, Musacchio, Romagnoli, Rodriguez; Kessie, Biglia, Nainggolan; Suso, Morata, Bonaventura. [Sky]

Either someone over there is sipping some serious Koolaid or there really are contacts right now (even if they are tentative)

Looks like Biglia is also almost done according to some sources

I'm really on the fence about this one. On one hand I think he's a very good player and is a definate improvement to what we currently have on the roster, and he'll definitely strengthen the squad. But if he's going to be a starter that could mean that we're not going after a true creator in midfield (I'm personally still dreaming of Cesc for this position but it could be impossible to get him)
