All of a sudden, it looks like we actually have a scouting network that goes beyond Genoa players. Hmm....wonder why that is...

Juve has first option to buy him at 9.5M (when they released Tevez )while we offer 15M, shall Juve decide to get him and up the offer, its up to the player to decide, dubbed as new Pirlo. Source milannews.
Baldie knows his position is at risk, now he's pulling out all his joker cards to impress new boss. D*** u Galli.

If he's to become the player we hope, I think he needs to try and take on responsibilities not just of himself, but also more in the team. That said, it's not just down to him that his performances have been the way they have in the past couple of years. Injuries and the situation at the club have been nothing short of toxic in his case, a young player trying to mature and grow. It's not just him, we've wasted numerous opportunities to grow young talents, DES, SES, Cristante (whose career has been wasted), Mauri (so far), Suso and also Niang have all struggled to try and grow in the club. Compound that with no experienced reference points in the squad to try and lean on and suddenly it becomes much harder. It's worth reading about how Pirlo (in his book) talks about the influence Maldini and Costacurta in the dressing room, or how those to talk about guys like Baresi and you immediately see how important this is. Well put. Exactly my thoughts too, I agree 100%.

Yea, but it's not like we ever listened to his advice. Even before Monaco we had scouts all over the world. It means nothing if Galliani just dismisses their advice and makes deals with friends only. It took for someone to put him in check for him to start doing his job the right way - listening to people that are paid to scout these players. If it wasnt for this takeover, we'd be making a 15mil offer for a Genoa player now....not Bentancur.

Looks like Galliani might get a management role at Genoa once the sale is complete. Seems odd, all these transfer dealings w. Genoa lately, maybe he knew Milan would be sold eventually and started reinforcing his new team with our budget? Lol

I really thought that you said it sarcastically, until I read all the later posts (by you and others). So, this young player is really promising? Interesting...

So juventus has an option on Bentancur but they won't exercise it. So it looks like it's open for us to make a move.
Apparently Milan has asked Dinamo about Rog. Man!! I wish it was Coric. Everyone I talk to says he is the real deal and the few times I've watched I've been very impressed. He is still raw, but great talent. We are also waiting to deposit Gomez's contract because they are apparently trying to get him an EU passport. I dont know how that will be possible in such a short amount of time....unless the process has been started from a long time ago. Then again, I dont know how these things work within the EU and how long it takes so maybe someone with some knowledge can tell us if this is possible or if it is just crap journalism.

Betancur seems like a talented youngster, and that is a good thing. My only issue with this signing is I don't think he addresses our needs in the midfield right now. As much as I love young talents, we have a huge hole in the midfield that we need to fill immediately. Starting Montolivo another season is not going to make us any better than mid table, and I am sick and tired of him as a player or a captain. Betancur is very young, came from a different league and will have a long learning curve to get accustomed to the Serie A game. Simply put, his first year or two in Italy will basically have to be red shirt seasons, kind of like how Roma handled Paredes. As such, he is not going to be able to help us much next season, if at all. With limited money, I would hope we get someone who can step in and play right away so the team doesn't fall out of CL contention by December again.

^^^^^ This!
You are spot on. Bentancur as the only midfield signing is very risky. |
