The upcoming transfer season should be considered a year zero for Milan. We should replace each and everyone apart from the following players:
- Mbaye niang (talent)
- Bonaventura (Talent)
- Locatelli (Talent)
- SES (if he doesn't sign with Roma)
- Romagnoli (talent)
- Antonelli (character, skill)
- Abate (character, skill)
- De sciglio (talent)
- Donnamaruna (talent)
- Honda (character, skill)
- Abbiati (character)
- Kuco (character)
- Davide Calabria (Talent)
- Jose Mauri (Talent) (loan)
- Mastour (Talent) (loan)
- Ely (Talent) (loan)
Everyone else can just leave, because they are getting to old to progress or simply do not have a heart for Milan. While the likes of Bacca and Montolivo are (sometimes) an added value, we cannot build our side on a one dimensional poacher and a very inconsistent Midfielder who is supposed to be our link between defence and attack.
Then we should consider our options. What have we been doing over and over and over? Buying players for positions that we do not need. Why did we buy Bertolacci after we could not get Soriano? Why did we not consider that maybe, just maybe, locatelli would be ready? I am saying we should stop buying player we might not need and assess our current options. Galliani has been boasting about our Youth team and we should finally implement them into our first team. No fan would complain if next year we are playing for the same position as we are now if that means we are spending less on dead weight and finally get to see the worth of our youth system.
Next, when we do transfers, we should stop focussing on targets that pop up in the news seventy times a year. There was a time when we got players before they were in the gazetta. There was a time we did not rely on crappy transfer news items and hype-journalism. It seems we are getting overhyped players for overhyped prices. We should start scouting more, especially in south america where we have seen successes such as pato and kaka (pato was a succes, I'm still sure our medical team f*cked him over and I'd love him back). Romagnoli is an absolute gem, but that's a 20 million gamble we took! Same goes for Bertolacci and he turned out not-so good. Then see Kuco, who cost nearly nothing and is a much better version of boateng (who cost us 12 million back in the day).
How many left backs have we had over the past four years? And how many strikers? And how many CB's? I remember myself making the sum of wages and transfer fees for these three positions... and the sum rose above 70m. 70m is a lot of money we could have spent on a project to build younger players. To get more players like Niang, Romagnoli,... What's the use of getting Zlatan and winning the title one year only to get screwed over by a lack of funds thereafter?
Galliani really needs to come up with a plan. Something we haven't had in ages, but something that can easily put us back in the driving seat. But then Galliani needs to admit to himself that he has been doing badly and took comfort in passive business. Which won't be easy.
