Holy cow, is this really Milan? Actually taking the next step and getting that new owner we've been needing for about 10 years now; Making moves and overtaking serious competition for players; Galliani getting his groove back?! I must be dreaming, pinch me!
Anyway, like everyone said, Lapadula, Musacchio and Pjaca is a terrific start to the mercato. Although, I still have a soft spot for Mustafi since he is rated higher by transfermarkt.com lol, but nonetheless, Musacchio is a good pick up for us. I actually think someone like Musacchio is better than Benatia as he is younger, can grow with the new core and doesn't have the injury issues. I love Benatia the player, but his physical problems the last couple of years really scares me.
To be honest, I have not been very impressed with all the midfielders we have been linked with so far. I would think that with all the money that is expected to be available, we would try to get someone or a couple of players who can really make a difference. Sure, guys like Kroos is not obtainable, but I still think we should and need to do better than Paredes, Zelinski, Borja, Mati, Soriano or Rabiot. I think all those players have talent and can help us. But I am more concerned about using our new found resources to get a cornerstone player for the midfield, not someone who either will decline dramatically in a couple of years or is so unproven.
