Winter mercato January 2015

Pazzini stays, according to Milan Channel. That means no Destro.



I am fine with this move as I am a Pazzini fan, but somehow I feel that this decision coming off one good cup game (after not being used for half a season) was a bit funny, and not in a good way.

Pazzini stays only because Milan was unwilling to buy (and pay) Destro. If you have a loan with mandatory buy-out, it is not a loan but a regular transfer for which you pay later.

We want loan.
Roma want obligation not option.
We pull out.

I did joke that Milan would try to loan Destro Witsel with an option , get 3rd qualify and turn down the options.But I actually could see them doing that.

No one would be surprised if that happened. Milan (read: Galliani) has stooped that low and we truly are the laughingstock nowadays on transfer market.

if I am any football clubs, I would not even deal with Milan when it comes to loan and teansfer deal unless Milan is taking the dead weight off my team away like Chelsea. I mean if the player does well, Milan will always lowball my team to lower the originally agreed fees.

[millinarios]

If I was Roma, I would go along with Galliani's loan idea, only to pull out of the deal on the last day of the market. Baldie deserves that.

The links to players is so far off the types of signings we make they aren't even worth looking into.The latest is Siqueira , as DeSciglio is injured he's been mentioned.He cost Atletico €10m 5 months ago , theyd want the same or more likely theyd want more.These links to Siqueira Witsel Destro are just not even slightly likely to happen.

The rumours of Inzaghi shifting to 4-2-3-1 have started again, though this time to accomodate Pazzini, with Menez behind with SES/Bonaventura and Cerci/Honda on the wings. Previously it was because of the lack of midfielders.

Personally, I would quite like to see this if changing to 4-2-3-1:

------------------Lopez-------------------
------------------Defence----------------
----------Monty---------De Jong--------
--Cerci----------Bona---------------SES-
-----------------Menez-------------------

If Saponara or Essien leaves, Suso should come in. Also MilanChannel says if DES is out for more than 1 month, then a LB is priority.

[Jay Crisp]

Pazzo scores against a pretty much Sassuolo reserves suddenly theyll change formation (not that the one we're using works)...TBH I dont think it matters what formation we use our Midfielders are poor or should I say good on paper shit on grass , Pippo also is not tactically able.He cant adapt to different opponents different styles cant adapt during a game.Ofcourse its easy for me to say that as I only notice these things during or after a game not suggesting id do better.

Bottom line is the squad has 10 useless players they must be moved on and replaced with 5 good ones , that have potential to be great.Will that happen ? Ahhhh heeelllll no

[Graeme_C]

With Zapata and DES now out it would make too much sense to go for Criscito. I would then not renew Bonera or Mexes as he can also play at the back..
