I pretty much agree with nefremo on all points. Romagnoli shouldn't be sold for any price if we're serious about building this team to compete at the top level. I don't think it's just his performances this past couple of months that shows his ability, I think it's just that in that time he's fulfilling the promise he's shown in the past (and still has room to improve). However, I think during his time at Samp, he showed that he's a unique talent and it's taken time for him to mature (Milan's struggles didn't help with this).
I also agree on Reina, he's a quality keeper who's been at the top level for a number of years. He's not Donnarumma, but as a backup he'd be exceptional and in the case Gigio leaves (which I'm not so convinced of now), he'd be a good stop gap solution.
Felipe Anderson's one I'd be open to despite his struggles this year, as when on form he's a phenomenal player. He's shown some inconsistency, but I think equally injuries and a fractured relationship with Inzaghi has also played a part and shouldn't be ignored. However, despite the doubts, I do think he could fulfill a role to rotate with Suso and Calhanoglu and would offer us qualities that we're potentially lacking, as he's direct and has a lot of pace and is able to take on his man. He wouldn't come a guaranteed starter, but I think he'd get reasonable game time rotating.
Edit: Out of interest why are people talking about replacing Calhanoglu? He's been one of our best players since the upturn in form, so it seems strange to me that he's up for debate. Even if the LW isn't necessarily his natural role (I kind of disagree with this view, even if I agree he's an atypical wide player), it's the role he's excelling in and imo proving himself to be a top player.
