Having said all that...i'm a little worried we are overpaying for Leao. Don't know much about him...but 35mil seems an awful lot. We were already overpaying for Correa to begin with, but I could live with that since I see how he fits. Leao on the other hand will probably share time with Piatek so I would have rather invested that in an attacking mid or CM that can play some through balls and create (like you said)

Leao is a big gamble IMO.

This. Not many "secure" investments. Could be a bunch of André Silvas for all I know... Key words: overpaying and underperforming. Let's hope not though.

And what's with the new "we want no italians in our squad"-strategy?

I am not convinced by the videos I've seen of him. Looks like any other decent talent, but hopefully they haven't shown everything. He's still young, so hopefully has a lot of potential to grow.

[am I Milan enough?]

Duerte on the other hands( from the clip), looks very solid def , 11M ? would be a good buy imo. Pacqueta could help him to settle down fast

Our Team definitely need a SS who can dribble, pacy and assist. Last player was Delofu

Deloufe doesn't really impress me with his skills. He is just a good player for a mid table team IMO. 

The good news is we are linked to players with really high potential but bad news is they can all fall flat on us.

AFAIK Gazidis said something like that we can not buy (expensive) proven players, we need to buy them before they shine. I think, we are doing the strategy right now. If Correa and Leao have already proved their qualities, their price must be over 60 mil euros and not to mention we have to compete with bigger clubs who have definitely more money for transfer fee and players contract. 

What I do like from our recent strategy is the management try to fulfill what the coach wants, provide players that suit the coach's tactic and type of play, I think this new for Milan. In the past the management just gave players and the coach had to find formula to utilize the players qualities (maximum they just gave one two players requested by the coach).

How can you compare player with Borini? 

Who is noodle? I can't get it until now.

So the fee for Rafael Leao is €35 million + 20 percent of future resale. Wow! That takes away a lot of any potential upside if he was to be sold.
