Krunic at such a low price would be a low-risk move.

The Villa fans that season he was there hated everyone and blamed anyone that left.They finished rock bottom got relegated only had 17 points and spent 3 years in the championship , also have you been to Birmingham not the nicest place.Hes been excellent at Fiorentina was good at Nantes also.I wouldnt worry , this is his chance at 26 to join a big club maybe on the cusp of genuine rebuilding.

His agent came out and said Torreira would like it.  I think he'll push for it.  If they won't back down from 50m then the best we can do is Kessie + 20m.  If they're willing to take 35-40m then we should drop that cash if possible
Well when we first bought them I bet nobody could tell Montolivo and Bertolacci will be these kinds of disaster.
MILAN! MILAN! SOLO CON TE!
MILAN! MILAN! SEMPRE PER TE!

I wasnt keen on Bertolacci but Monolivo turned out to be awful over his whole tenure.He was decent the first year IIRC nothing major but he had some good spells.
Bertolacci was classic panic,  overpaid for him overpaid him and he was happy to sit on the bench and get paid for nothing.

If we have it definitely  , I mean ideally we could keep Kessie.With a proper system and an actual coach he could be far far better.Infact I expect everyone from Rodriguez to Calhanoglu to Conti to all look miles better.
We need mids cause we don't have anybody, not even bad mids Big Grin 8 million for a guy still young and a good season behind him should be the least of our worries.
What worries me is how Milan is run. I see no satisfactory signs in how positions are filled, announced. I don't even know the name of Juve's or Inter's offices (of course not being a fan it is normal to know less but I haven't heard any body mention it) yet every day agents are running in and out of Casa Milan.
I was fine with both signings but they turned out to be busts. One thing though is you can't expect every signing to pan out. Having a 100% success rate is unheard of. That being said, our success rate should be higher than what it's been these last several years
lol Inter wants Sensi

If they really want him they'll probably get him. We've been talking about him for months, but nothing happens. He's not even our first choice.
