Summer transfer window 2018

Something interesting i have observed over the years about Milan transfers. Pretty much every team in the world, good teams, at least, like to stash as many high quality midfielders as they can possibly get away with. Think teams like Barca, Real, Bayern, Juve, Atletico, PSG or Man City, even their backup midfield players are high quality and high priced players. Yet at Milan, the tendency is always to invest as little as possible in the midfield. In the late B&G era, we basically tried to replace legends like Gattuso, Seedorf, Kaka and Pirlo with Muntari, Montolivo, the corpse of Essien and Boateng. We spent basically nothing on those players, and the on field results showed as well. I think F&M tried to remedy that to a degree with Kessie and Biglia, but we still seem to be way more obsessed with that big name striker than beefing up the midfield.

Great post.
