Neither here nor there on any rumours, until it happens I don't really believe too much. On the individuals named, I think Keita Balde loan swap with Honda sounds reasonable. Honda clearly isn't in Montella's plans, Keita has excellent potential, pace and quality when facing defenders 1 on 1. He could fit Montella's game well. I have questions over attitude though with him and would want a loan with option, not just a dry loan.
On Fabregas, it looks like he's not interested, but if it's possible, even on just a dry loan, it's hard to say no. It's a typical stop gap measure that would normally irritate me, but given Montolivo's start to the season and circumstances right now, it makes sense. Don't blame him if he rejects though, at 29 he's not old and probably sees himself playing at the highest level right now, which Milan certainly isn't.
Finally on Jovetic, he's a player I like and he's played his best football under Montella. In that regard, he makes a lot of sense, he's got quality, produced at high levels for years and would have a chance to reunite with the coach who he's had most success with. At the same time, without a change in system I have no idea how he'd fit in.
