Winter mercato 2021

[reza]

Yes true. More Hauge type hopefully can be found but it's not a guarantee and if consistency is the issue it is also not very likely, even with Hauge himself it is not. And actually I am not sure if Milan fans will be happy with becoming a Dortmund that keeps finding 'cheaper but good' players so I feel like even if we find more Hauge types doesn't mean fans will be happy nor does it guarantee trophies.

That's just it. It's tough. Someone like Diaz would be a costly exercise because of the wages on top of the at least 25m needed to buy him. 
Let's be honest. what CAM can we get for 25m other than Diaz or a Szoboszlai type signing? 
Unless we can convince Eriksen to come over, that's the only arguably better player we could likely convince to come but Inter won't let him come to use cheap and won't be cheap wages either. 


The problem with trying to add cheap depth... We're much more likely to spend peanuts and end up with a Krunic vs a Hauge.

But that's the main goal for adding depth ... they should be cheap(er). Why spend 25m on a bench player ... that doesn't make sense. But, if we want to have cheap(er) depth, a club should have two options basically : (a) an experienced veteran or (b) a young player who's just not ready for first-team squad yet. Or go find somebody from lesser known leagues like Hauge (but Hauge also fits the description for b). 

Considering the economics that the world faces today, with the money that reportedly Milan have (around 35m?), I'd rather we focus on CAM position. So either we focus on Diaz or get Szoboslzlai. It seems Maldini and co. are really hoping Madrid would talk and name their price. I'm not holding my breath on that front. I'd rather we focus on getting Szoboszlai immediately, given the known 25m release clause. 

I think the other positions that require more immediate starting-level replacements are RW and Striker. RW is more urgent, but Saelemakers has been quite serviceable and Castillejo has scored a couple of goals lately and seems to be willing to accept the bench at least until the end of the season. If we could get Thauvin for cheap this summer for less than 10m, I'd say go for it, but if not we should wait and sign him for free. I also hope Maldini will take a look at Stengs from AZ Alkmaar, though I have no idea of his availability and valuation. And economic-wise, I'd rather spend nothing on getting Thauvin and focus all the money on CAM. 

Rudiger I don't rate too highly, but if he's to be a stop-gap solution for at least 1-2 seasons I'm fine. My ideal dream for CB is still either Milenkovic and Simakan. But, we do have three starting CBs in the squad currently. When we qualify for CL next season is when we really need that 4th CB.

I am expecting Draxler signing for free in the summer....

True but what I meant is we might as well gamble on some youth purchases for peanuts than players like Krunic who we all knew was average before he even arrived

That's not true. I did not know Krunic was average before he arrived.

The truth is, I did not know Krunic before he arrived.

I think must take the blame for this, I was the first who kept moaning for him then Maldini bought him  Reza ban me pls, I crossed my limits
