I dont know if anyone has mentioned it but I'll just sum up what I've read so far today...
1)Destro is pretty much a done deal, but it looks like most of you already know that. All that needs to be done is getting the OK from Destro himself, who apparently wants Milan anyhow.
-I'm on the fence with this one, he's a very good goalscorer and is young, but 17m is a lot for us.
2)Bocchetti has apparently been signed and will undergo medicals now(sp?), good Italian defender that would probably be on the national team if he was playing in Italy, his name sort of faded when he moved to Spartak moscow.
-I think this is a bargain signing (given we dont pay too much for him), solid Italian defender who plays old school, and maybe our defense does need to go back to the basics. He'll definitely be able to defend a corner lol.
3)Munoz is also apparently close to being signed, with Zamparini openly admitting we are in negotiations.
-This will be a good signing, high potential defender and has a lot of experience in Italy for his age. Has shown he's upped his quality a level this season and still has plenty of time to grow
4)Milannews also reports that Galliani is waiting for the OK to sign Paulinho from Tottenham, +I've read that he also wants a move.
-Will be the best signing since God knows when.. Finally, a good midfielder, something we need! Watch it not happen now, lol.
5)Oddly enough, we're trying to sign Salah from Chelsea.. This is a weird move, isn't he a RW/RM? Like as in the same position that Suso,Honda AND Cerci play? Unnecessary signing, if we need another winger I'd sign someone for the left side. Apparently Taarabt is the backup option if he falls through.
-Salah is a very fast, and good player. Is Cerci not convincing management? I feel like we don't need Salah unless one of Honda or Cerci are going to go.
6)Finally, we're trying to swap Armero for Antonelli (both loans until end of season) with the option to buy Antonelli, then obviously Genoa could sign Armero on a free. If this is true, given the relationship between Preziosi and us, then I think it could be a done deal soon, and I do like Antonelli.
-If this happens, we've worked a miracle. Getting rid of some deadwood for a good, hard working, Milan raised fullback that we need.
All in all, it looks like management finally got punched in the face with the reality of our situation, and have seen that without investment we will not go ANYWHERE, except maybe Seria B.
I'm desperately hoping we sign Paulinho, we need to get Montolivo on the bench ASAP.
