People need to get a reality check. Milan will be top 3 contenders.
Its all fine hatin but thats how its going to be. They have weakened other sides in the progress of signing these players. Kessie we were also linked not that long ago and Atalanta has done well in recent seasons. @Osman will tell you that he has great potential. Biglia is probably Lazio best player, another team weakened.Çalhanoğlu we were linked with not that long ago and is some freekick specialist. Ricardo Rodríguez we were linked with as potential Sandro replacement. Bonucci will improve the defense.
There is potential there for a solid team. Also with these signings, some young ones, the team will be hungry, hungry for success.
The thing is, playing in europe league sucks. And Milan are playing in it and have even preliminary rounds. Even if they continue spending, its hard to set your targets. Man Utd also proved that you can concentrate on the EL to get to the CL. But with this spending, you could argue, Milan ambition should be serie a title.
And the rivals are not really there apart from Napoli and us. Roma and Inter havent done s..t in the mercato. I expect Roma to totally collapse actually. The new coach is rookie, and he has to play in CL as well, just has a Roma collapse season on the paper, everything is there for that really, no Spalletti who is more experienced, no Totti, like him or not, he is big part of that team, so lack of leadership really imo. Fiorentina are losing 2-3 key players with Berna and Kalinic leaving. So unless they go sign some superstar, will drop level.
And i said top 3. The thing is, Milan could even finish 4th and get to CL now.
Im just glad they have that EL thing going. Otherwise they could just concentrate on the league and they would totally challenge us for the title.
If they go on and sign a proven goalscorer, someone reliable, who can score every weekend, i dont see how they cant fight.
