Dev, I think that side is fine, but there are too many unknowns there. Caio is one, Pjaca is another, Lapadula is another....and it's not like Montolivo's performances fill us with confidence as well. Not saying those players are not good and I know that no transfer is a "guarantee" to succeed, but 1 is a young Brazilian defender, one is coming from Croatia and 1 from Serie B.
In theory, like you said, it should work fine. If those players perform to their full potential than maybe it can work. I think they are all talented, but just have reservations about how well they adapt and settle in to the level, style, demand and pressure of Serie A and Milan.
I'm a big fan of Paredes however and I also wouldn't mind Vazquez.
I know that you only put that out based on recent links. I personally am hoping for a few different moves. For example, if we are going to sign someone from Croatia, I really think that player should be Coric. New reports are actually saying that City wants to get him for about 10mil. That's peanuts for a young player of his potential and quality. Also, I hope we look at someone like Lucas Lima who I know you are a big fan of. Than there is the obvious possibility of Kovacic and even Badelj.
