With Jankulovski being a left CM it will also help our poor and shaky left defence because as we know, even Jankulovski not a great left fullback, he has pretty good defensive skills. He also has the speed to return back (to help defence) after moving forward and the advantage of using him that (like GeoTav said) he runs a lot and his fitness supports this (a normal thing for fullback : being able to run a lot in a game).

A DM is needed if Ambrosini is still injury prone as we can't rely only on Flamini as our DM (we don't want to put Emerson as a DM, right?).

The one thing which you didn't mention (and I forgot to put it in my post game opinion) was that Janku did (and can do) very well switching to LB with Favalli, causing problems for Udinese. The first goal is a perfect example where Favalli was free to run forward and Janku slotted in at the back, where he sent a great pass from.

Dossena wants out, maybe he is an option... Or I always like Rafinha from Schalke but that probably dreaming

Antonini can also play at LB as well as RB. However, I agree it's probably not enough. I think if we don't get a new fullback, then our best option is having Bonera at RB (where I still believe he can do well if played with consistency there like last season) and Zambrotta at LB.

So far it is still an honour to wear the red and black of Milan. Galliani needs to stop recruiting players that only mid table seria A sides are intereted in.

It depends on how you view things. Considering it's the winter market I doubt anyone really sees us making any big signings, so most probably people are looking at players who can temporarily fill the gap so to speak. Next summer, I personally expect some very important signings to be made, and I doubt others will expect any less.
