None of these guys available? We can send Krunic back to Empoli for Ricci!

It is not easy to buy players in winter mercato. We can't expect a lot from winter mercato.

I think, what we want to achieve from this transfer window is to get players that are ready to play as backup (sure they still need time to adapt), not young players that still need a lot of time to be ready for the team.

One season wonder at Sociedad and failed to impress at Madrid soon to be a flop at  Arsenal.

Not easy to break into Real Madrid and play regularly. We have two players in our squad now who didn't make it and they're not too bad.

Also, in 2018/19 season he was named in Eredivisie Team of the Year playing for Vitesse.

That said, I'm not so sure he'll be a hit at Arsenal.
Fiorentina make decision to sell Milenkovic next summer. Milan still interested and are monitoring the situation.

Milan working on signing Palmeiras' Uruguayan left back Matias Vina in this transfer window.

YES PLEASE! Unless Tomori explodes then we should go for Milenkovic. He's a quality Defender and a great potential replacement for Kjaer. 
Unless of course we're also selling Roma in which case we could get Tomori AND Milenkovic
That’s funny. Every time I watch Fio, milenkovich plays poorly. Guess Fio is just weak this season.

Honestly I’m getting tired of all these defense links. RW is an upgrade that would give us the biggest bang for the buck and just silence out there in it. If we wanted to push for Scudetto, that needs to balance Theo/Rebic.

He's not been doing that well this season but the whole team has been so it's hard to tell. 
He's good defensively, great in the air, good on the ball. Would be a good signing if we're wanting someone to work into the first team ASAP. 
If we want someone to ease in to replace Kjaer for example, we could potentially go cheaper and sign someone that needs more time. Or go someone like Izzo who has the experience for depth and ease in Gabbia/Kalulu/Tomori(if he stays).

100% agree with RW but I'm not sure it's so simple. WE still need to find a home for Samu or we'll be stuck with 3 RW.

To be honest, we're likely waiting on Thauvin and/or Octavio to say whether they'll accept a contract before we go looking for another option.
No point signing a RW or CAM when we're till trying to tie up those guys and still working on Hakan's contract.

Agree on first point for sure.... What's with all the defenders are they blind to the fact that we rely on Meite who is as good as a donkey when one of our starting mids is injured??
We needed another decent midfielder and something in attack on the wings or creativity to fill in for Calha
I am worried that we aren't linked with any RW, tbh a RW was important than getting a defender, Samu is crap and Saelemakers doesn't do much as a winger(and a bit of injury prone) and Pioli should promote a primavera midfielder to compete with Meite, Look at Juve, Frabotta, Fagioli, Dragusin have done well to provide a bit of coverup for their senior players.
