One thing for sure, Poli played with balls. He was one of the few players at that time who gave it all in Milan shirt. During Fassone - Mirabelli era, i was hoping that Kucka and Poli stayed for backup. Instead we still got a lazy ass player like montolivo.
I'd trade Kucka and Poli for bertolacci and montolivo right away.

Sensi isn't those grinta type from what i see a couple of times. But i'd choose him over Kessie to be honest. Kessie's just way too raw physical-dependant player, and with another creative player, it'd probably give better chances for our striker
I agree with Karl.. during their time, u can actually see that Poli and Kucka did give it their all and some more.. the thing with someone like Hakan though.. i only started to see him work really hard like from last 1 and half months ago or so.. hence i stopped bashing on him as much.. i dun mind players being off form, but i draw the line at players putting in half-assed efforts on the pitch like Suso.. who got outpaced by 33yr old Kolarov ffs
I think some peoples hesitation with Sensi is that hes the kind of player you ad to an already competent team and at 24 he'll grow and learn from top players, and get better.He wont have that Milan , he'll have pressure and expectation and need to perform straight away.He also gets away with being inconsistent at Sassuolo like he was this season.He went through good periods bad periods and has been dropped.We need a few high quality midfielders and I dont think he is one yet.Will he handle the pressure, remember Bertolacci did look very good in Serie A for 3/4 seasons before joining Milan.Im just not sold him on being our major midfield signing.
lol @ people expecting major signings in our current situation. Better hope we qualify for CL to even have a shot at any major signings
Maybe the cost cutting measures we thought would happen.
Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis has reportedly vetoed his club’s pursuit of Gremio winger Everton Soares.
Milan sporting director Leonardo appeared to be closing in on a deal for Everton, but Sport Mediaset claims Gazidis has ‘blocked everything’.
The broadcaster speculates that is due to spiralling costs as business with Brazilian clubs is ‘always complicated’.
It also corroborates Corriere della Sera’s previous report that the former Arsenal executive will make a decision on Leonardo at the end of the season.
The Rossoneri could instead go for Nice attacker Allan Saint-Maximin, who is valued at €25m.
Couple of things are clear, and rumour makers will exaggerate it, but fans shouldn't panic imo
- No CL means less money so signings will be cheaper, if we have good scouting and L&M do their job cheaper does not automatically mean worse.
- Gazidis is very much a money guy, he is here to find savings AND improve the club on and off the pitch. The AND is important. Whether or not that's possible is up to him, L&M, and others at the club.

What's the fasination with Saint Maximin , he has 6 goals and 3 assists this season, which by Ligue 1 standards isnt great.Ive watched him a few times since we were linked and hes fast but that's it.Hes quite wasteful in possession holds onto the ball too long and his passing can be abysmal
