I think we should cash in on Hakan and Kessie. pulling on their post Covid form to get some decent cash.
Yes, for sure it'll be an unpopular opinion. 
Kessie has been a machine. Him and Bennacer have shown that they can be the best CM pairing in Italy, hands down. Imo, Bennacer is already one of the best CMs in Europe. Kessie compliments him perfectly. I would not break this partnership up. Is this COVID related? Empty stadiums, weird conditioning, etc, etc? Who knows. Maybe. But maybe not. This is not the time to break it up and start from scratch. This is the time to keep improving it. We'll see what happens. But I wouldn't sell Kessie right now.

Agree. It's funny how things change. Just a few months ago, we all would have made 5-6 changes to the starting line up, or even more. But now, I think most people agree that the starting 11 is good. Good enough to challenge for top spots....but only a couple of changes are necessary along with the overall increase of quality in the squad.

I won't sell any of the starters, the team is doing well at the moment, we need to beef up the squad for next season instead of trimming down.

I jsut worry that those two will return to old ways and we'll be stuck with them again. Maybe I'm being too pessimistic.
I wouldn't sell Bennacer for any money TBH. Him and Theo. Unless some spaz came along with 100m.

This is one of the many reasons we are stuck financially for a long time.. coz we bought first before selling off.. and we became desperate to sell off deadwood no one wanted.. even if we managed it, we sold for ridicuously low fees. For eg.. RR is quoted at abt 3-7m range.. isnt that a stupid valuation since he is an experienced player and a current starter for his national team.. is not like is as bad as say.. Calabria..
The issue we need to fix is midfield park. Ibra has to go down every match to move our clueless skill less midfielders and open spaces upfront. He previously had had Cassini and Robinho with pato who were so helpful. Add to that seedorf and Pirlo and ronaldinho. The full midfield needs work and center backs, but I guess all these works will be after guaranteeing CL football.
i prefer we sell hakan, and keep kessie, i pretty much prefer a more speedy type amc that can play on the wing either one in left or right, but would be better if he can play both sides, if we can sell hakan for 25 or even 30, i think we should go for depay all in imo.

The thing that bothered last season was our inability to win gattuso’s napoli. My opinion was that winning gattuso’s who knows this Milan very very well would be a proof of a bedrock of a new era in Milan. But, we were outplayed throughout the 90 minutes and that annoyed me loads, and kept a note in my head about our weakness
The team have been performing enormously well. If we want to do something to the team, we should significantly improve it. Selling Hakan now and what? Could we bring a CAM much better than the Turk? Assume that we have the money, I doubt there will be many available options to pick for such kind of player since we don't play CL. What realistically could we do is finding a player who is on paper better than Hakan or able to compete with Hakan. It also suits our financial capability as our max transfer fee could be around 30 mil euros. With that amount of money we won't get a CAM who is really much better than our current one.

Are you hallucinating or what? Benna and Kessie pair are probably our best midfield pairing of this decade. Which matches do you even watch.

AC Milan are interested in Lucas Torreira, who could be allowed to leave as Arsenal look to rebuild their midfield. Milan is the most likely destination for him. (The Guardian)
Among the players who have been proposed to Milan in the last few hours there is Manchester United's player, Jesse Lingard, 27 years old, who happens to be one of Mino Raiola clients. (Tuttosport)
Stefano Pioli is interested in Wilmar Barrios, due to his aggressiveness in midfield and technique when recovering the ball. The Colombian midfielder, 26 years old, playing for Zenit Saint Petersburg, has improved lately and caught the attention of AC Milan. (Antena2)
Milan looks for a young defender, who is good in 1on1, and has athletic prowess: like Milenkovic but Commisso asks for €30M-€35M. Maldini and Massara hope to lower the fee by inserting a counterpart (Paqueta). Other alternatives are Kristoffer Ajer and Mohamed Simakan. (CM)
