I'd rather have youth with potential, they have been working out for us thus far. Pioli's system is very high intensity, our players run like maniacs. The system is working, and if we don't have money in January for big signings we should be looking at depth signings. As far as I'm concerned, Pessina & Pobega are much better options than Krunic.
I'd like to see pEssina back. I was skeptical start of the season but he's continued to grow. could be a great player for us.
At this stage a rock would be better than Krunic

Media is reporting Samu-Savic swap deal and it would be good for both ATM and Milan.
I will like to have a Hauge like signing for RW,. Dennis Man from Romania won't be a bad one.
Superstar in the making but already too expensive and wouldn't be sold in Jan unless we offer something like 50-60m and I'd rather see that spent on Haaland IF we have that sort of money to spend on one player.
A handy CB. would add some depth and class but I'd rather see Samu sold and the money spent on a younger defender with a higher ceiling.
Surely lightning can't strike twice. haha. But that would be great. Never seen Dennis Man so can't comment about him.
I still feel like we need a starter.

We all are in an overhype and a great enthusiasm seeing our team to lead the Serie A. This is the result of an over performance of a roster, which is very young, talented under guidance of an extraordinary player: Ibrahimovic,
but without any depth and experience in such situations and pressure.
1. Either we see this situation as a chance to win the championship or
2. We stick to our long term project, meaning: secure a CL spot and build a team, which can compete for quarter final in CL and win the championship in 2-3 years.
If we choose 1., we have to invest in order to achieve this goal, although with the risk of losing everything. Because this team has no experience to manage a situation, where defeats will come and critics about performance will increase pressure.
And of course players like Calhanoglu and several agents are miss-using this circumstances, in order to gain the maximum profit.
In case of 2. There is no pressure for players and management for the championship and the team has to say goodbye to players like Calhanoglu..
Milan has to invest in quality. We have a very good, very young and talented core and this is the ideal fundament to invest in order to build a WC-team for the next decade..I think that management should signalise that the times of “overpaid” mediocre players are over. And if players like Calhanoglu demand so much money, as Ibrahimovic, then they should go..immediately.. but on the other hand we have to replace them with true quality and not short-term options..
To be honest. I don't see why we couldn't do half way.
Stick to our long term project but also invest in players that will help us fight for this season's scudetto. It's the difference between going for a riskier option in Szoboszlai vs more experience in an Isco type signing instead.

Milan's offer to Strasbourg is 10M, but the French club's request is 15M.
According @lequipe , the Lille project is one step away from dying. The economic crisis has destroyed the finances of the team, which has a hole of 150-200 million Elliot Management could fire Gerard Lopez and sell the club.
L'equipe used to reliable. If true, Renato Sanches please.
fabrizioromano: The role of erling haaland, a great friend of hauge, should not be underestimated: The borussia dortmund star striker also keeps an eye on italy and responded enthusiastically when hauge told him about his imminent move to ac milan.
His release clause is 80M right?
Mediaset report Leao+cash for Haaland. Rubbish source but anyway
That's amusing considering a few months ago the rumors were that we offered 15m and it was rejected. Now they're saying we've offered 10m and they want 15m.
I'd take Sanches but if he takes off well then he'll be taking Kessie's spot. Sanches would work well with Bennacer.
I wouldn't want to lose Leao but if he needs to be sacrificed to get Haaland then so be it.

I think Strasbourg may be a bit desperate, considering they've been hovering in the relegation zone since the beginning of the season. I haven't watch a lot of Strasbourg games (only 2), but in those 2 Simakan was wonderful. If we can push to below 15, maybe around 13m, it'd be a fantastic deal. I really rate Simakan highly. I think of the names that have been linked with us (Kabak, Milenkovic, Simakan, Lovato), he's one of the most ready and characteristically different from our other defenders. Romagnoli - Kjaer - Gabbia and Simakan plus Kalulu as emergency CB, damn that's a whole lot scarier than what we currently have.
Haaland, I don't believe in the rumors. But, if we could get him, it would be like winning a jackpot! We all can dream, though. Yeah, I'd sacrifice Leao as well. But, I'd still be happy if Leao becomes Ibra's replacement in the future. I think he projects better as a striker anyway. Scamacca is another interesting name, as Genoa continues to flirt with relegation. Another name from Genoa that I like is Rovella.
I really like the link with Papu Gomez. I really hope his bust-up with Gasperini is true and significant enough to damage their relationships. 10-15m figures reported sound reasonable. Yeah, cheaper to extend Hakan, but he's not worth 7m/season. Max 4m + incentives, me thinks. Btw, regardless of his inconsistency, Hakan is one of the best CAM in serie A this season, so there is that. If Hakan leaves, and we couldn't get Papu Gomez for some reason, I agree that we should take a serious look at De Paul. But, Udinese has been playing hardball with his valuation, too.

I like the look of Scamacca but not sure having two young ST's in Leao and Scamacca is the best option.
De Paul would be good but Udinese keep asking for 35m. The guys good but not sure he's 35m good.
I think if we do get Scamacca, then Leao would play mostly on LW. But, I don't mind having both of them anyway. Different characteristics. Scamacca will be more physical. I think we can also play both of them at the same time. But, anyway, Scamacca is actually owned by Sassuolo, I forgot. So, Genoa's league position has nothing to do with whether he will be sold or not.
Re: De Paul, that's why I much prefer Papu Gomez. He'll still be good for another 2-3 seasons, and if we rotate him a lot, a bit longer than that. I'm also interested to see if Pellegrini of Roma, if his contract can be extended before Jan ... Another interesting player that can play in CAM at times.
If we did get Haaland, we have to change formation because neither he nor Ibra will be benched.
But to be realistic Scamacca, Pellegri and Daka would be my preference.
As you guys have said , Scamacca is interesting and previously linked.
Corriere:
"After suffering a collateral ligament injury to his left knee and being followed up by a specialist, it would take 6 weeks to see Matteo back"

What's wrong if we field someone better than Ibra, Ibra is not Milan and Milan is not Ibra...
Forza Diavolo ale!!!
lets be realistic and admit that haaland thing will be a tough issue, since we would face competition of europe's top teams. we're still not there yet to compete with real madrid,liverpool,psg and so on . the more realisitic would be getting someone like icardi who lacks playing time in france, yet, its up to elliot.
papu gomez sounds interesting at least for me, even though 32/33, he would join for free, he earns something like 2.5m. He is soomeone who likes to attack the opponents goal, and last season i think he had some 17 assists, thats a number to be considered.
