Allegri: We have Mexes and Taiwo



Milan have signed Philippe Mexes and Taye Taiwo for next season, boss Massimiliano Allegri has revealed ahead of their Coppa Italia semi-final.

Speaking before Tuesday’s Italian Cup encounter against Palermo, Allegri made the revelation when asked about the club’s summer plans.

“We’ll be fine in defence as we’ve signed Mexes and Taiwo,” he noted on Monday afternoon.

Both defenders will arrive on Bosman free deals and will join from Roma and Marseille respectively.

Mexes may not be fit enough to start the campaign though as he is currently recovering from knee ligament surgery.

Milan once again making good transfers...

What sucks is that both of those players actually went there for free.

Exactly. Good and cheap.

 

[Salvatore]

The Delneri and Marotta comment regarding Samp is a complete load of shit.

He's too young and (yes) too good to good to go to that retirement arrangement.

Perhaps. He's won everything, and can now sit on a huge contract for another 5+ years for a comfortable retirement. It's got to be tempting.

Exactly. Good and cheap.

Can't think of a player I'm more "meh" about than Taiwo.

Mexes was never going to join Juventus.

Milan are building a top team.

 

[MikeM]

Mexes is really not that good. And he's hurt. Taiwo is also an average player.

They're the sort of free signings you can make in such a position, good back up though.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

He's an explosive fullback. Definitely not a bad signing for free, and certainly better than what we have. He may be one of the best defenders, but he's someone who I would not like to have as opposition. And he's much better than Emanuelson, imo. I don't think he'll be backup. He'll probably start and become one of the best fullbacks in the league.

Nesta and Thiago Silva will make sure that Mexes sits on the bench.

 

[JuveJay]

At the time I heard Emanuelson mentioned as a good 'free' signing and left back?

Well...

Emanuelson isn't a defensive LB, more a wing back or a ML, but not a LB.
And definatley not a good LB.

That would only be the case if Juve signed him.

Since he went to Milan he's a first class fullback.

That probably would happen with some players though.

Mexes is a douche who said he would never come to Juventus, so screw him. Taiwo... I don't know, I think he's a bit overrated. We'll see how he does in Italy.

Well, if one thing is for sure now, it's that Milan have already laid down the guantlet and we're really going to have to pull our finger out if we want to compete for a CL spot next year.
