X-Off who would you want for a decent addition to midfield. I think Fabregas is off the table as he played well in the game the other day v. Man City. I doubt he ends up leaving this mercato.

Fabregas played only because Matic was not available. I doubt he will prefer warming the bench and being a sub to a lucrative offer from someone else. The problem is whether we can afford that right now.

The closing's postponement surely hampers our plans for January. We could have gone for big names right away but that will have to wait till next summer. So it really depends on what the management's plans are.

I keep reading rumors about Badejl, but that name surely won't bring us anywhere. We need playmakers first and foremost.

In my opinion if we can't make a big jump then I'd rather stay as we are. Badelj although a decent player won't take us to the next level. I'd rather Locatelli keep his spot.

[Jack Sparrow]

I have a fairly good opinion of Badelj. He's exactly the player Montella wants. And his style is very quiet and efficient. Controls space and picks players with the easy passes. Will give us huge consistency. And he's only 25. Will be an asset in midfield and gives up more flexibility for the other two positions in our 4-3-3. We wouldn't need a pure tank all the time if Badelj is there.

[X-Offender]

Well, if Badelj is the answer to our DM spot, as long as we sign a quality creative CM, then I'd be fine with it. But we can't expect him alone to solve our midfield issues.

Well without the sale happening in January we can forget about Fabregas and any other big signings. The market will be conducted by Galliani with the Chinese having vito power, which basically leaves us at a complete standstill as they clearly don't agree with Galliani's way of doing things if this summer is any indication

Yup. The Chinese will block the sale of Bacca, we are unlikely to get much money out of the rest (assuming we want to hold on to talent), and B&G see it different from our future owners. Still, let's hope we make some change, as there are limits to what Montella can do with this team.

100M Euros confirmed in today. We apparently will be doing surgery next month.

Who is funding the transfers?

[d'Arc.LP]

The Chinese group will now have time until March 3 to pay the €320m that are missing to complete the purchase of the club. Apart from this, they will have to cover €220m of debt and to invest €350m on the market in 3 years. #Sky

Who is funding the transfers?

Berlusconi if he wills. If not, we fund by selling.

If Bacca, Adriano, Honda, Vangioni and Zapata leave, I believe we can get up to 50m for winter transfer window.

We can hope that at least three of those five head out the door. My concern is that transfers take time and we may end up spending all window off loading these guys only to run out of time to complete incoming transfers. That would still be a victory overall as we seriously need to trim fat off the roster but it wouldn't help the product on the field for the second half of the season.

I don't think they are going to sell Bacca, and the rest will not bring in much (even assuming we find someone willing to take them).

Berlusconi has called Atalanta's president, Percassi, to ask him to wait for Milan before selling Caldara & Gagliardini. #GdS

Honda is in the list of players who will leave, however it's difficult to happen in January, he will likely leave in summer as a free transfer. #Repubblica

CorSport: €100m has arrived from the Chinese
The second deposit has been paid; Montella wants Badelj immediately

Napoli has reached an agreement with Genoa for Pavoletti. Pavoletti also gave his ok. #Sky

Chelsea are preparing a €23 million offer for Bonaventura according to TalkSport.

At this point I guess Badelj would be a good addition. I doubt we're gonna go for any big names in January, like Fabregas.

Chelsea are preparing a €23 million offer for Bonaventura according to TalkSport.

Why would Chelsea want Bonaventura when Conte didn't even call him up for the Euros? I smell bullshit.

[Jack Sparrow]

We underrate Bonaventura too much, because he was a no-name when he joined us and we've won f@ck all even with him in the squad. He's my favourite Milan player, despite Honda being such a rockstar.

Badelj would be a solid addition and one we won't regret. Good move on making Atalanta hold on to Gagliardini and Caldera, though I prefer Baselli to Gagliardini.

I feel like in Serie A there is a clique. There are some clubs who will never do business with Milan regardless of price, the same with Juventus and the same with Inter.

The only club who is not in a clique is Fiorentina. They hate everybody equally.

They don't like us, but the one team they really hate is Juve (there are a number of things they will not forget, stolen players and such).
