IMO, Gattuso has to decide which formation he will play next season, and accordingly plan his mercato. There will be money for transfers, just spend wisely.

yep with reina coming i can't see him staying. hopefully we can get 50m+. also getting his brother's 1m salary off the books will be a relief.

i've heard gattuso's considering a 4231 along with 433. if we sell suso then we should aim for 2 quick wingers who can dribble e.g. depay + felipe anderson. hakan and conti are absolutely fine as backups. conti played as a wingback for atalanta 2 years ago and got loads of goals/assists.

yep, very annoyed at that little cunt. O
I will be pleasantly surprised if we get 50 million for him, remember Ederson (at 23) left Benfica for Man City for 40 million euros last summer.

I want him to leave, I haven't been excited or happy all season that he's been with us. That entire fiasco all summer was terrible to us fans, and he was very snotty about remediating the situation. He rarely came forward, and when he did he gave very little information. Never gave a straight answer. Trust me, I think it's awful that we're losing a youth product who has the potential to be the best GK in the world, and I don't undervalue the important of a GK - but when it's like this it's better off. It creates a hostile environment and who knows if it's driving our other youth products in that direction. 

We can probably replace him with someone decent for a low cost. Perin might be a viable option, but I wouldn't spend more than 15-20m if we only get 50-60 for Donnarumma. If it's something astronomical like 70m+, then I'd say we can splash 30m on a goalie & another 40m on a top midfielder.
So we're linked to David Neres from Ajax...

I've not followed the dutch league this season, anyone know much about him?
I personally hope donnaruma stay. I know he's being a somewhat spoilt little kid, but that overpaid kid do his job quite properly (yes, there're some mistakes lead to goals).
If raiola wants to move donnaruma, it's going to be fine (since we're going to get reina/ probably going to approach perin again). Then it'll be a very good moment to kick the rest,
Bonaventura, abate, even mastour. And finally, we wont have that many so-so mediocre players. 


And hopefully, F&M know we seriously need proper wingers. The match against napoli showed how different the skills of our winger and theirs. That 35m bids for insigne should've happened if not because of bureaucracy thingie.
I actually hope Donna leaves. Even 50mil would be good business, especially if it's up front and not in installments. Reina is adequate for us for the next 2 years.

Bonaventura is being linked to an exit. Tottenham and Roma interested. Apparently we want 28mil. I am all for this. I think Jack's time in Milan has come to an end.

Suso is another one linked to an exit due to that 40mil clause. He is one that i don't want us to sell, but it's out of our hands. If someone pays it, so be it. Good thing about release clauses is that the offer has to be full price up front in order for it to be accepted. So this means that we'll get 40mil cash, which will be much needed to get a replacement quickly.
I think it's reasonable to expect Donna to leave at this point. Donna going to PSG just seems like the perfect storm to me. PSG has a need at GK; PSG likes big names; they have a good relationship with Raiola; and they are, at least in theory, a major CL contender who doesn't mind paying big salary to players. If I was honest, I wouldn't mind PSG giving us 40M plus Areola to get the deal done. Areola is young, has potential and has already had a lot of exposure to top flight football. Him competing against Reina for the GK position is a pretty good situation all things considered.

What Fassone said about the market is good from a strategic point of view. But the execution is what makes or breaks the strategy. I agree that we should only add 2-3 players to the existing core to add quality, but who we add is what ultimately matters. We need a striker, but do we need another Kalinic, for example. I guess time will tell what will happen this time around.
imo Mario Gotze could be a good add to our team.. his time at Dortmund seems to be ending with the rumoured extension to the manager/coach
