RE: Summer mercato 2020 - nefremo - 09-26-2020

Too many to list at this point. Haha

But I think it confirms what we already know...the club is desperately searching for a CB. I think we can be 99% sure that one will arrive. The most likely options seem to be those that are avaiable on Loan+Option/Obligation. The truth is that in this economy, any one of those could be available on a paid loan + obligation. But Loan+Options are a bit tougher to come by obviously. I think we can forget about Fofana. Seems to be too expensive and too much competition. Milenkovic also.

The more likely options seem to be Nastasic, Nacho and Rudiger precisely because they seem to be available on a loan. Ajer as well, although that might have to be an outright buy. But at 15mil, the price for him is reasonable.

Other then that, I'm really hoping we get Hauge. That should complete our attack. I know we are technically missing an Ibra replacement, but adding Hague allows us to solely use Leao up top. Also Rebic can be used up there more often because of Hague. Let's not forget Colombo. He is young. Surely we can't jist rely on him to cover Ibra, but he can have some minutes and be useful. Ibra will wanna play almost every available minute anyway. So someone like Colombo is adequate enough for now.

That would be it for me. I wouldn't go for another CM right now. Our main goal should be to get Tonali up to speed. Bennacer, Kessie, Tonali and Krunic is good enough for now. Let's see how that works until January and address this department then if need be. Of course, if Krunic leaves, then we'll need to add a player to replace him and that'll hopefully be a player of higher quality then him, because at the moment Krunic is obviousoy the back up/joker option.

The good thing about Hauge is that he can play on both the right and the left side of the trident behind Ibra. Apparently we first started watching him in June, after we used computers to search the lower European leagues for talents. The algorithms showed him to be one the most talented players. It's crazy how scouting has changed if this is true.

I would think that if we do sign him we'll let him finish his season in Norway first, so that he can win his Norwegian league title with Bodø/Glimt (their season ends in December). He grew up in Bodø, and they've never won the title before, so it would be a gentlemanly way to make sure all parties are satisfied. Having him come now is not urgent for us anyway, so it's fine to wait until January.

As for a CB, I wouldn't mind Nastasic. I think Ajer is a bit too young still, and from what I hear he's somewhat prone to errors at times. As a defender he'd also need time to adapt to Serie A, so I think we're better off with a more experience player like Nastasic for that position.

If it puts us as frontrunners in the race to sign him, then 100%. Let him stay in Bodø/Glimt until January. 


About the CBs, Rudiger also has Serie A experience. I think he's a better player then Nastasic and hasn't had the injury problems that Nastasic did. Both should be available on loan, although Rudiger's buyout option as well as salary will undoubtedly be higher.

No need for chiesa...our calabria is 100 times better Smile


RE: Summer mercato 2020 - nefremo - 09-26-2020

Milenkovic today proving that he's not worth a penny over 15-20mil. If that.


RE: Summer mercato 2020 - Artan - 09-26-2020

Id rather get Ribery honestly. He still has it.


RE: Summer mercato 2020 - Demonbanana - 09-27-2020

Di Marzio: Milan is continuing to work behind the scenes to sign Wesley Fofana, the young defender of Saint-Etienne, with the hope that the French club would open for sale.
At least €25M is needed. The Rossoneri first need to sell Lucas Paqueta.




Jens Petter Hauge is getting closer to Milan. After we broke the story yesterday morning, several credible outlets are now also reporting that the Rossoneri are indeed serious in the pursuit. The deal could close soon, a report claims.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, it was love at first sight as Milan faced the winger on Thursday evening. Or rather a confirmation, as they have been following him for a few months now. At San Siro, Hauge crowned his display with a goal+assist.


RE: Summer mercato 2020 - Demonbanana - 09-27-2020

I like we don't have much of a clue what Milan are doing.
For a lot of us Hauge is new, but the club has followed him for months.
Fofana, I thought was gone to EPL. Apparently not.

After these two that could almost be it for signing's. Maybe Baka or someone else comes right at the end. I would like a better LB option than Laxalt, but he will do until January. RB, hopefully between Calabria, Conti, Saelemakers and Kalulu SOMEONE can work there shit out!

Then we still need to get rid of Halilovic etc.


RE: Summer mercato 2020 - nefremo - 09-27-2020

I forget that Halilovic is still here. What a shame. So much was expected of him when he first came onto the scene and signed for Barca. Surely he would be useful to a relegation battler like Spezia/Benevento/etc, no?


RE: Summer mercato 2020 - Siregar - 09-27-2020

I hope we get Fofana.
