Agree totally about Mexes. He made a mistake against Fiorentina & Barcelona, but why don't you look at who he was playing with and who was in Midfield in those Games. The midfield AND defense was depleted with injuries. We MUST keep him.
Van der Weil for Abate is a no-brainer for me. Abate is not a player I want for the next 5 years in Milan. I'd rather Antonini tbh.
As for Lopez/Paloschi, both are backups that don't mean much to me. Neither are world-beaters that will play in Starting Lineup. Milan will ONLY buy Lopez if his 8M asking price goes down to around 3.
I prefer to Sell Pato AND Robinho, and replace them with Tevez and Hernanes. Our 4 Strikers should be Tevez-Ibrahimovic-Cassano-SES. Then Ogbonna & Acerbi to come in on the cheap, and then Berlusconi can give us 1 GIFT, in Midfield. (Strootman, Asamoah, Eriksen)
I agree that I at least THOUGHT that Ibrahimovic always liked playing with a Penalty box striker (@ Inter with Cruz and Adriano). However, he has no chemistry with Pato whatsoever, so if we're going to keep Ibra (most likely we will), then Pato must go. He can be used to strengthen the midfield greatly while Robinho can be swapped for Tevez, a player who provides the same movement as Robinho and can actually score.
