I'm not sure what's the point of bringing all those Atalanta kids here. People were asking for Rugani loan before the season started and now we are supposed to fit in Caldara? Kessie weaker than Lemina at this moment, same to say about Gagliardini. We could leave them in Bergamo for the next season but we could use that money to improve the team instantly by buying one concrete player. I guess a lot depends on whom we'll be offloading.
Don't see it on the way that they improve our team directly!
If Caldara will be bought he will be in the summer and even then we can loan him out back to Atalanta. He is really impressive this season, most people don't know he was also really impressive with Cesena last year. Don't think he become a starter or something, it's pure a future signing or 5th cb.
Kessie has a lot potential. The whole Premier League is interested in him, he is a complete box-to-box talent. I think he is already at the same level as Lemina and we can off-load Lemina this summer don't know tho. We also missing depth in the midfield, so I think Kessie will have the most impact in our first team of the three Atalanta guys.
Gagliardini must be the vice-Marchisio. Our directors saw that's really hard to find a Marchisio replacement. Verratti? Dream on ... Sensi? Not psychical enough. Fabregas ..? nah. Our management needs to search for a Marchisio back-up since Hernanes don't fit in our plans. He is a 'cheap' and Italian player who can back-up Marchisio. I think it can't become more interesting for Marotta & Paratici.
Conclusion:
All the three players can be really useful in the future. I agree that they aren't ready to walk in our starting XI, but in these days you need to be faster than your opponent's because their are more clubs who are really greedy for talents. Kessie can have an impact, rest is future.
There is nothing official yet btw, but don't care too much about it
