Indeed. However, this will hardly be our defense this season. Plus the mistakes Paletta and Verghara made were - well, classic horrible mistakes.

Btw Milan linked with Rodrigo Bentancur. Anyone knows the guy?

Never heard of him. 19 years old, Uruguayan, CM, plays for Boca.

Him and Salvio from Benfica (Calciomercato) linked with Milan.
I'd be glad with this Bentancur fella. I think we should aim at bringing young and talented fresh players, and not those washed-out rejects. Sure, one Pastore or Cuadrado would do us nothing but good, but here I'd draw the line and try to sign a few talented younger guys. |

Good god. Saw the goals of Milan-Sassuolo. Vergara reminds me of Onyewu.

Onyewu was Nesta compared to Vergara. He's utter awfulness.

But has anyone see Vergara's wikipedia site recently? I'm reading about his loan spells and career and all of a sudden this appears:
QUOTE After his stint at Livorno, Milan gave Vergara another chance during the 2016 summer pre-season. He used this opportunity to pay tribute to his old club, Boca Juniors de Cali, by playing exactly like an amateur would (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Link |

I read that if Bacca doesn't leave, then Montella will play Niang on the wing, with Bonaventura in midfield. Otherwise, Niang will be played as CF with Bonaventura on the left wing in attack.
How do you guys feel about it? Personally, I'm more up with the second option, but ONLY IF we sign a quality midfielder. There wouldn't be a point in selling Bacca and then simply play Kucka, Poli or whatever in midfield instead. This post has been edited by X-Offender: Aug 12 2016, 03:39 PM |

Yeah, Vergara is terrible. I honestly do not understand what our scouts were/are doing 99% of the time. This guy is worse than the various Viudez, Grimi, Cardacio, etc of the past. Just a total lack of co-ordination, defensive instinct and basic ball playing skills.
As for this Batencur kid we're linked to, I honestly don't know, he's not going to be an improvement on what we currently have. He might be a prospect for the future but it's a huge question mark. We need sure things atm if we want to at least make it into the European spots next season |

Bacca will most likely stay. West Ham were the only truly interested club and he didn't seem keen on joining them.
Niang still has issues with his finishing, don't think he'd be a reliable option as the main CF |

Agreed. Niang is certainly not adequate to be our starting CF.

If things stay as they are, something I'm hoping won't happen but it's looking likely at this point. I'd say Montella will go for
Abate--Paletta--Romagnoli--DeS Kucka--Monto--Bona Suso--Bacca--Niang Which is sad since that's basically the same team as last season with only a couple of minute changes. And that team finished 7th... |

Paletta for Alex/Mexes is a substantial change for the worse if you ask me.
