We must have them both to start for the prices we're paying them. If Renato comes on a loan + option yes, he probably will be a rotational player but he says the reason he wants to leave Bayern is because he needs to play a lot more than what he did there.
I'm just really glad that we brought in 3 different midfielders. I don't trust Bonaventura at all to get a starting position for himself and to be untouchable. I'm really glad Mirabelli agrees with this by bringing in a player that'll potentially put Bonaventura on the bench.
Right now we currently have a few youngsters that can be world class when they mature and grow:
- Gigo
- Kessie
- Silva
- Suso
Others who can join that elite list of youngsters that could become WC:
- Hakan
- Romagnoli
- Conti
- Renato Sanches
Players who are currently one of the best (in Serie A at least) in their positions:
- Gigio
- Bonucci
- RR
- Biglia
- Suso
- Kessie/Conti had 1 great season in Serie A but I predict the former to succeed, the latter I still can't tell how it'd turn out but it's a good bet
- Musacchio (dark horse contender that doesn't have too high expectations because he was bought at 18m and was our first purchase)
I think we're gonna have a fantastic season next year thanks to the great work Mirabelli has done with the squad. Let's hope Montella can utilize his weapons efficiently.
I'm still hoping we get that striker + winger though. That winger for me should be Keita but Niang would do - they're both as versatile as each other. The striker? I'm still hoping we get someone else besides Belotti/Auba. That's going to be a major investment and Belotti is just too unproven and Auba is just 29 where this money is going to depreciate so fast and so will Auba as a player as he depends a lot on pace. Diego Costa would be absolutely fantastic, he'd be a GREAT striker to have. I've seen plenty of him over the years and especially last year. If it wasn't for Kante's superhuman stamina, Diego Costa would've been one of their best players if not the best player in their league winning season last year. I just hate that we'd be getting him for half the season only. Then there are Alexis and Aguero who are also great options that'd be even more expensive than Aubameyang though. I just hope we don't fall for the Belotti hype and overpay for him. He's a 30-40m player and that's what he's proven so far. Anything above 40m for him is just the price of potential. If we go for him we should do a deal similar to the Bayern-Renato purchase where they bought him for an initial 35m and had bonuses that'd reach up to 70m. If we do it that way, maybe the Belotti deal can be good but I also am not very convinced with him technically speaking. I just don't think he'd work at Milan given the way we play.
Solid post and agree for the most part with the exception that Aubameyang has just turned 28 so is only entering his prime and Sanchez definitely would be cheaper than Belotti/Auba due to contract situation, just hard to fathom convincing him to join us without CL and as a result he would demand huge wages.
