Dude, it seems that you are thinking about Milan like they are competition or something. They are not, and won't be one for quite some time.
So again if it's basically:
Higuain + Caldara loan == Bonbon on lower wages + 25-30 mln, you are against it. Why?
I don't see how we are getting fleeced here.
higuain on loan is a christmas present for every team, competition or not. he's a top10 prima punta, ffs. also, i can't believe our management jumped in the cr7 deal without any concrete plans to offload higuain. it's exactly like getting hernanes when allegri asked for a proper attacking mid after vidal left: makes no sense.
also, i can't repeat enough times that we don't need bonucci at all. we had a very solid defense even last season, which was strengthened with cancelo and caldara. all we need is a midfielder to make it a perfectly complete squad. bonucci's will to return should not be our problem at all, let alone giving away caldara for motherfucking ac milan, providing them with romagnoli-caldara, the best possible italian cb pairing for the next 8-9 years. it is just plain stupid and shortsighted, and we are going to be very, very sorry if that happens.
i'm redundant here: bonucci's return alone sends the wrong message on too many levels, and it only gets worse if we also give away caldara in the process.
