Summer Mercato 2016

[WCmilan]

So who is leaving? Adriano, Bacca, Niang, Menez?

I understand that sometimes you have to pull the trigger on a move because of competition....but time and time again we prioritize strikers ahead of everything else. I have hope that it'll be better this summer.

I have only seen youtube videos of Lapadula, so I can't say that I have an opinion on him. I can only hope that we have done extensive scouting on him and that he is well worth the 10mil we are apparently spending on him.

27 goals in serie b should translate to 10-12 goals in Serie a, in which case he would be a better signing than Pavoletti for half the price

Personally regarding Ibra, I had a gut feeling even with ManU rumours that there was a chance of him coming back. I'm just starting not to believe them, because it looks like Ibra would've been much more of a Chinese project than a Berlusconi project.

However, it seems like were following Berlu's model. We signed Lapadula, and apparently Galliani is making an offer for Saponara to return - he met with Empoli president today, also Paredes was apparently talked about. We also apparently asked about Pjacas availability, talent this kid.

So, it seems like the 'young italian project' is the route we're taking, in which case perhaps the Chinese backed out.This isn't all that bad, I'm just afraid we'll fall further behind. Even if the squads exciting and all, Juve are already much stronger and I'd imagine we're going to see some big signings for Merda with their new Chinese owners.

On Vazquez, I don't agree with Mauri, Ely and 18m going their way. Ely and 18m maybe, but I think the 18m alone should suffice. He's definitely very talented, and probably one of the most elegant players in Serie A.. Not much doubt he'd do really well for us, but not if we need to overpay.
