RE: Summer mercato 2015 - Ace - 08-08-2015
in Romagnoli's case, you guys are missing one key factor for why Milan are prepared and also pushing to pay such a huge amount for a young player who might or might not work out as a good deal.
Mihalovic... the coach, the coaching staff... every one of our current coaching staff has spent atleast 9 months with the player... they know his weaknesses and strength, his potential, his playing style, his mentality... they know everything they need to know to determine if he fits Milan's style and "heavy burden".
Can they be wrong? sure can... but thats highly unlikely!
RE: Summer mercato 2015 - ZvonimirBoban - 08-08-2015
In 5 years when Romagnoli officially cements his place in our history as the new Nesta, we'll be laughing at ourselves for having doubts

Our young players are not ready. It is hard to find young players without experience play for big Serie A club. Most of them got games with small club before palying for big club except they are really special.

Soriano looks most likely to be the midfield reinforcement this summer, which will no doubt leave many disappointed. I'm very mixed on the transfer, I just don't know if he can make the push to really be a top level midfielder, although he has some great qualities that the team could use. Basically, if he was brought in to improve the squad, I'd be very happy, but as a starter, I'm much less certain. If he can replicate last season's performances but just add greater consistency and a little more end product, you're talking about a fantastic player. Anyway, for those who haven't followed him much, here's a decent intro to him:

Like Siregar said, not many are ready for Milan yet. Milan might be struggling, but the pressures at the club are still immense. Bringing in a player without senior level experience to just slot in is very difficult, few are able to just make the leap and if you're not careful, you end up in a DES stage where when the struggles come it's difficult to get them back on track. The other aspect is we're not developing many top level CBs, the most realistic prospect being Ivan De Santis, who only turned 18 in May. That said, it's not totally true that we're not giving our own youngsters a chance. Obviously DES is our own, as is Calabria who will hopefully adapt to senior football this year and let's not forget, Rodrigo Ely is from our youth system. I think we don't seem to acknowledge them as much as we don't spend masses of money on them.
As the article somedevil posted on the EPL thread alludes to, there's a lot of hype and interest that the transfer market alludes to. Romagnoli is talked about because the club seem prepared to spend 25-30m on him, while Ely, who came for peanuts is barely recognised. It's conditioned in us that the more spent means the greater the quality, but in no shape is that true. Continuing with Romagnoli and Ely, Romagnoli is obviously ahead because he's got a full year in Serie A under his belt, but let's not ignore what Ely's accomplished over the past few years. He's been in the lower leagues and has often been consistently very good. Last year, in Serie B, he was recognised as one of the best CBs in the league. He's got a bright future and if we nurture him well, we could have a potentially great CB pairing with him and Romagnoli.
Actually, I'm even more hopeful than that, I want a Milan backline that in the next 2-3 years is made up of 3 homegrown talents and Romagnoli. It's not as difficult as you might imagine, with DES, Calabria and Ely all homegrown, while there are other prospects like Felicioli. Actually, in most cases our fullbacks are homegrown in recent years.
On Romagnoli, it looks like today is probably the day a deal will be struck. It looks like contractual details were sorted yesterday (I've read he'd earn 1.5-2m per year). It's expected the 25m offer will stand, with 2-5m being offered in bonuses.
RE: Summer mercato 2015 - somedevil - 08-09-2015
Ely has certainly shown in the pre-season that he has grown a lot in the past few season in B. Let's not forget that when we got him from Gremio there was much hype around him and many in the media labeled him as the next Thiago Silva (for what it's worth).
Even at Reggina in 2012 he was compared to TS33- From Google Translate.
Quote:Someone compares to Thiago Silva , when you were both to AC Milan Brazilian gave you specific advice on how to stay in field? "As for the comparison I would say that is a bit 'soon, I hope to make his career if not more (laughs, ed). I learned a lot from him but also from other players of AC Milan. Maybe I was asking advice on how to behave in certain actions of the game and they were always available.
He has been a consistent performer in B and has earned Youth Caps for Italy as well as Brazil. Really looking forward to watching him this season.

Football-Italia reports Juventus is now looking at £20M Gundogan. He cost as much as Bertolacci, and the two midfielders are the same age. I hope Milan will make a push for Gundogan and Witsel....or else we might not get anywhere near European competition again. Still, based on past transfer campaign (excluding the last 2 years), Galliani has been very secretive about the moves he's made, so I do hope he'll make some signings that will leave us surprised in a good way

Lets be honest though the chances of Gundogan Isco Gotze or other names of that ilk ive seen mentioned are zero.Witsel will almost certainly not come.I think Milan had a budget , a huge budget compared to the last 5 years.Problem is when they went to buy they realised a few things.
First was the players they wanted were wanted by other clubs & they didnt just have the pick of who they wanted as Milan isnt an attractive option.
Second they found out quick €100m doesnt go that far (i believe this was a huge shock to them) average players cost anywhere from €5-€20m , good players €20-€40m depending on the selling club.Very good €40/€50/60m and the elite can be up to €100m per player.
I think Romagnoli will arrive but thatll be it regards good signings.Maybe a Soriano type but TBH Id prefer not to sign anymore average players that take up room and money.

Meant euros, not pounds. And I think that Bacca and Gundogan are the same caliber players (although Gundogan has won a World Cup). If Galliani can be smart and persuade Gundogan to come, I think this will also attract other big names to come for the future. Just wishful thinking though
