Summer mercato 2021

[Sleeping Giant]

What's on Sabitzer?

Wow Giroud chose number 9. This will be interesting

Another victim? Or, finally the power of world champion will end thr curse?

[xudong]

What's our formation going to be?

4312 , 433 or 41212?

Maybe still 4231? I haven't seen anything indicating a change. 

The closest thing is that Pioli mentioned at the press conference that he may test Tonali at a higher up position. Perhaps 433? 

Also, I think I am the only one that even ask about the possibility (it has been ignored so far perhaps due to its absurdity  ), but can Hauge play as #10?

Zero mercato again?

Laxalt (LB) out for 4M...Ballo Toure (LB) in for 4M.

Anyway, I like these types of signings. Cheap, yet seems to have upside. We're finally seeing Milan use scouting and not agent recommendations and proposals.

Rumors still out there that we'll get one of Dalot/Odriozola for RB cover. Seems it'll be the one whose club will accept a loan deal. I wasn't impressed with Dalot here...but if I had to choose 1 of the these two...it'd be him simply because of continuity. It would mean we're not starting at zero again and we can build on something with Dalot. Although, Odriozola is probably the better player currently.

Then we are apparently getting this young CM from Ligue 2. 17 yr old CM. Wonder if he's coming as a Primavera signing or if he'll be used in the senior squad.

I like the way we're plugging the holes. I swear...this is the first time in a LOOOONNG time where our SD actually does what the fans also see. It was funny (and frustrating) in Galliani's later time with Milan how everyone and their mother could tell we needed a midfielder BADLY....yet Galliani would blow the whole budget on a striker and pick up scraps for the midfield.

Plugging holes is nice and all but we need quality in CAM position plus we cant go on with samu. Young or old we need stars on the attacking line

Yup RW is a car crash. Can't have another season where the attack only comes from the left. Other teams will wise up and block it off.

Plugging holes is all nice and good - until the season starts and you find out those "plugs" you acquired cheaply are leaking and are too weak to move the engine forward.

This team desperately needs a proven AMC and a RW. Otherwise, meh...

I watched some clips of Ballo-Toure and I was okay, even if clips don't actually actually mean much. He looked like another Theo - fast, strong, dribble well.

And what's the essence of getting another 17yo, a midfielder from Ligue 2, when he'll end up treated like Hauge?

So that we can continue to generate capital. We are not going to have a backup which is going to keep losing money for us.

Unfortunately, unless you're PSG, or some of the top English clubs, or Barca, or Madrid or Juve, the name of the game is capital gain. How to do that? Find a bunch of cheap younger players, hope some of them will work out, sell the rest for capital gain.

That Jorge kid if done is the answer for RW, I know he was not.
