we're pratically in August dude and even if what you say it's true (De Sciglio,Bernardeschi and polish dude)
We'd still miss a first choice RB and a CDM


Btw who do you think is/was better as RB choice between
Cancelo
Semedo
Sidibè
Soares
Pereira
Henrichs

I really like Cancelo, I haven't seen much of the rest so I'll limit myself to that and Soares is decent.

If we happen to need a player and want to recall him back, we can't, because we made a stupid decision of accepting a 2 year loan deal. Like with Caldara.

It would actually be a lot wiser to give them on a 1 year loan with an option from our part to become a 2 year deal.

The point is to have player ready to join us if needed and if he shines enough there so we don't spend money signing other players instead.

Sturaro was on a 2 year loan too iirc, and we got him back 1.5 year early. we just need to agree with the club and have the player want to come

You are right, but lets not forget we are loaning player to a club that was 4th or 5th last season, they are not some small provincial club and probably also has their requirements which have to be met in order to seal the deal.
Bergamo seems like perfect enviroment for all this young Italians and its probably the reason why we choose them.

Im not saying its not complicating the mercato as it definitly is but as we can see its still plusvalenza for us - Spinazzola was noname and right now he is playing for NT, Caldara seems like a great deal, he would probably cost around 35m now and can still develop.

Yeah. Just. But there's a high chance the other club will say no and there's nothing you can do about it.

La Stampa saying both us and Torino want Locatelli. His price is ~10mln

10m? I'd take him. Why should Milan sell for lousy 10m?

 

[Kopanja]

Because he sucks, we don't need him

 

[Valerio.]

why do we event want Locatelli?
If our mercato ends up with Betancour and Locatelli as new cms I'd be pretty pissed.
Considering the money we racked up we need much more

Possible Sturaro replacement?

 

[Osman]

Possible Sturaro replacement?

Also under 21 so he can be registered without complying with UEFA registrations rules probably.

Sending someone on a 1-year loan is useless for a team like Atalanta. If he does well, he's taken away immediately. If he doesn't, well... Shite for them.

So sending someone away for 2 years is almost certainly a better option. We don't need Cldara now and we won't need Orsolini sooner. We bought DC and we'll add Bernardeschi as well; we're settled.

*We did not need Caldara a month back. Now we need him..

no we don't.
Chiellini-Rugani starters
Benatia first sub.
Barzagli in case of need.

If WE REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY miss something we can bring in a primavera kid

 

[vodka]

saying 19yo footballer sucks while no one even talked about schick and bernardeschi when they were 19 lul

 

[pitbull]

no we don't.

Barzagli in case of need.

all 4 are kind of injury prone, if we had the chance to bring in Caldara now we would. IMO we shouldn't buy anyone and just risk it because we have a lot of needs atm, but it sucks that we won't be able to bring in Caldara

 

[Orgut]

no we don't.

Benatia first sub.
Barzagli in case of need.

You do know that Allegri probably rate Benatia and Barzagli more than Rugani - I do agree that Rugani should get that spot eventually - Id rotate Benatia and Rugani until Rugani is ready

Because he sucks, we don't need him

Actually he doesnt suck.. He is a good talent and at 10M he is a steal! If thats really his price we should take him asap!
We can kick Sturraro Rincon and Lemina if needed...

 

[Kopanja]

what they have to do with Locatelli at all?

EDIT: well then his great talent is really hidden somewhere. Yeah, he played for trash team all year and scored wondergoal against us, even Sensi looks more promising (and played maybe for a better team)

We should kick Sturaro and either Rincon or Lemina no matter how Locatelli situation unfolds itself

 

[Beki]

Do we have any news on Lichti and Cancelo fronts?

 

[Jem83]

 

[Osman]

Pretty much, not to be impatient, this mercato is fairly bizzare.

 

[Liviu]

Also under 21 so he can be registered without complying with UEFA registrations rules probably.

Doesn't he need to be with that club for 2 years or so? Don't think age is the only factor to use him as non-registered.
