Both are just solid players who really can't dominate thhe game in either offensively or defensively. Nor are they physical player like Boateng or Flamini who can pretty much sprint for 90mins of the match. If you think any of the two can over take the starting midfield of Slowdorf, Gattuso, MVB and Boateng, that's a dream, As I said earlier with that starting midfield four, if Max wants to play more defensive, he will use Ambro or Flamini ahead of Montelivo and Aqualine while if offense that Max want, Urby and Cassano certainly offers more.

I think if Anyone of those two are sign, it will be a signing for the sake of signing someone, which is dumb. Smart and good signings are signings that would increase the quality of the team and not just adding a number. The current Milan squad does not need more depth, rather they need starting 11 quality players.
Just look at this.

RB, Abate, Oddo, Zambro, Antonini, Bonera
CB, Nesta, Silva, Mexes, Yepes, Bonera
LB, Taiwo, Zambro, Antonini

DM, MVB, Ambro, Silva
RCM, Gattuso, Flamini, Boateng
LCM, Slowdorf, Boateng, Urby
ACM, Boateng, Slowdorf, Cassano

Forwards, Ibra, Pato, Robinho, Cassano, Pippo, Urby, Polashi.

That's more than enough depth, what Milan needs is quality starters and trim the useless players out.

Boateng-----Van Bommel-----Montolivo

is miles better than:

Gattuso-------Van Bommel-------Seedorf

-------------------Boateng-------------------

I do not understand how Urby is rated ahead of Montolivo!!!!
If people think that Montolivo had peaked while Urby has potential, Monty is freakin 1 yr older than Urby.....and i believe Monty has every chance of raising his level and be consistent in a team like Milan rather than Fiorentina.

As for Aquilani, he is definitely more of a ACM than Boateng as he is more creative and has better technique....for me Boa will be excellent as a RCM or LCM rather than a ACM.

There aren't too many big names available and there are Real, Barca, Man City, Chelsea, Malaga, Anzhi, PSG ahead with cash in hand. Big name, available, milanista, these two are what I can think of.

Is play in the LCM spot, Taiwo will most likely be more agressive in attacks. And the formation will be more like 4-3-3 in defense while become more like a 4-2-1-2-1 in attack. Since Robinho, Pato and Cassano all can pretty mucch dribble pass one on ne defenders or play off Ibra in the middle. If Montolivo comes to Milan, of course he will start if Slowdorf can't play but he would not add much diff if he does not exist, since Boateng can play that role with Cassano or Robinho playing at ACM. Point I am trying to make is that if Milan is going to sign a player, spend wisely and not on someone who will be sitting on the bench and add depth since depth is something Milan has plenty of.
How I wish Milan is actually after Hernanes or Honda, as these two will upgrade the current Milan team.

Mario is Super Mario and Edin is Dzeko.
