QUOTE (Danny @ May 29 2017, 11:22 AM) Harsh. First half of the season he and Romagnoli were excellent. His discipline the second half has been a shambles, but so has the whole team. Paletta wasn't our worst performer but I knew you'd be going for the jugular with him. I agree about his first half of the season, but even then he was still a card magnet. He is just an unreliable player, the only way I'd keep him is as 4th choice back up, and even then I personally don't like the fact that we have someone like him and Kucka on the team who are brainless idiots that cannot control themselves.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ May 29 2017, 09:08 PM) Who would you have as 3rd and 4th choices in the backline, Han? Supposing Musacchio and Romagnoli will be the starting pair. Well I'd personally keep Gomez, I think he's been impressive this season when he's started. I'd personally get rid of Zapata and Paletta, both are liabilities in their own way (even though I do think that Paletta is a relatively good CB but he's just not someone that you can depend on) and go for someone new, we've been linked to Kjaer and De Vrij although I'd only assume that we'd go for the latter if Montella is planning to use a 3-man backline. I'm sure we're looking at other CBs as well if they're planning on selling Zapata and Paletta

QUOTE (Danny @ May 29 2017, 11:56 PM) I'd keep none of our defenders bar Romagnoli. Only one who does a job as squad is Zapata but I'd rather frankly buy a completely new squad with the few exceptions I've already illustrated.
The pairing of Romagnoli and Musacchio does worry me - defence is usually best when it's one experience head and one less. One slower, one quicker. One tougher, one more composed. One older, one younger. For this to basically be two circa 25-year olds is slightly concerning. No slight on either player, Romagnoli is great and I know nothing about Musacchio tbh so I can't judge. It's just a traditional type of pairing which fits one older guy with one younger tends to be better. Better communication rather than two alphas or betas or 'youths' together.
We saw how much defence suffered when Romagnoli was paired with Gomez. Zapata is decent as a squad option but he's not trustworthy either in his own way (although Paletta would take the cake for low trust rating between the 2) Like I said, I'd only keep Gomez because he's impressed when given the chance, he's young, physical, relatively quick and can grow as the potential is definitely there imo As for Musacchi and Romagnoli, we'll just have to wait and see how they'll mesh together. Musacchio is coming off a great season with Villareal (best defence in the league) and he has experience playing against the best in the world. And I agree, most players from our defence need to leave, and I think that's what the management will do this summer

QUOTE (Danny @ May 30 2017, 01:40 PM) Musacchio confirmed. He's a Milan player. Will join up in July 1st.
Good luck to him. Hopefully the first of many fine signings.
Kessie imminent over the next few days (medical today) and Rodriguez too. Apparently Kessie's medical showed some issues. Also, we are linked with Zaza. Shoot me now ...

QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ May 30 2017, 03:39 PM) We're linked with every striker under the sun (for the backup position, there seems to be a consensus on Morata though). We were linked with Borini a couple of days ago as well Calciomercqato are the only ones reporting the issue with the medical so far. Hopefully it's nothing too serious
