Summer Mercato 2011

[ACMILAN1983]

It is still early to make any judgment, so I tried to say something different

We need to watch the team until the end of season. If Strasser can kick Van Bommel out of the team, I'm more than happy, but if he is still not ready and this mercenary proves his usefulness and commitment, I must let Reza click the ban button

I don't think Strasser will kick either Ambro or Van Bommel out of the team, the two have more experience and know the position better. My point is the two players are 34, and therefore won't have long left. Therefore, we need a younger player to start looking to integrate into the squad to replace these guys in the not too distant future.

In all honesty, Strasser for me isn't a player to replace these two (he was only an example to make a point), I think he's better suited to Rino's role in the side. In my personal opinion, we need to either start looking at a younger midfielder to replace one of Ambro and Van Bommel for next season, or see if a youth player is ready to make the jump (i.e. Fossati).

That said, one scenario where we will keep both Ambro and Van Bommel is if the player we're looking to replace them isn't quite ready for the senior team yet.

Getting back to transfer rumours, I've read on milannews that we seem fairly certain to purchase Ganso, Marchetti and Mexes in the summer.
