I said this a while back. Looks like the one of the better central defensive talents in Italy and would be a good replacement for Rano and Juan Jesus. He'll be in the Italy squad soon, he's far more complete than Astori and a better ball-winner than Chiellini. Loic Perrin is another player I'd...

Andreolli is 'passive! AKA doesn't chase the ball around the field like a special kid, leaving huge gaps in our defence. I'd rather a defender hold his position and retreat than play Russian roulette with our clean sheet capacity. Juan is 23, and has been here for years now; the 'he is young'...

Agree with this. Andreolli is Barzagli-esque, unspectacular but super-efficient. He deserves a sustained run in the team now, he gets criticised for being too stand-offish and shadowing the opposition, but that's real defending; diving in and getting turned like JJ and Rano do is moronic.

In the same way City allegedly financed the Correa move to Samp.

Perfect signing, never changed him as my favourite player on here. His presence increases Icardi's goal output by 50%. those stats speak for themselves, used properly he is still effective. He's always been stocky and fairly slow so age isn't gonna make too much of a difference.

De Sciglio or no deal.... Seriously though, I'm confused how we can swap a player we don't own.

Antonio Cassano; he made Pazzini look like Batistuta at Samp, and is exactly the kind of player Mauro needs. Apparently available for nothing as well, it would be naive not to pick him up. Kova as Regista next to Medel, Shaqiri and Poldi wide and Cassano in a free role in behind Icardi.

If we're talking about Icardi replacements, then we can afford Cavani and Dybala as we are looking at a minimum €30m fee for him. Cavani's stock has fallen considerably in the past year, making him attainable to is. He wouldn't get the same wages here, but a return to Serie A and the Milano...

Destro. Dybala. Cavani. There's 3.

If people want to believe Icardi is a better all-round forward than Destro, leave them to it. The facts were there last season and had he not been up against a fit Totti he'd have prospered this. Destro's goals for a poor Siena team a few years back dispels the misinformed 'he plays for a...

Given the time he could be our Barzagli, while also giving his way into the Azzurri reckoning. He's pure understated class

So while Icardi scores, he reduces the overall opportunity of the team to prosper and score with his useless all-round play. Destro is the superior footballer and would be a better fit for us at this point. Moggi believes Milan are using Destro as a smoke screen for Osvaldo, which would mean...

It's not about Jersey selling, it's about building a team succesful enough to make the club commercially appealing; United became the most marketable club in the world while incorporating the likes of Fletcher, Brown, O'Shea..... Our biggest problem has always been trying to be cool and trendy...

4 games for Andreolli to prove beyond question that he is our most reliable defender......and then sit himself back down on the bench when the bigger salaries are available. Shame

He was second only to Handanovic for us tonight in my opinion; he's at his best on the left IMO, his crossing was to great tonight, but he had to delay them most times because there were few viable targets in the box. He proves that there is indeed Italian quality to be had from mid-table...

I've believed for a long time that Rano will come good, and some of his performances this season have vindicated that view, but I feel he's peaked now, which is a shame; he's simply too slow on the turn, much like Mertesacker, and I think now would be a good time to move him on. It's a travesty...

Diarra over Lucas for me; keep M'Vila and Medel, sign Diarra on a pay as you play deal til the end of the season, and sign Cigarini to replace Hernanes, who id use to persuade Atletico to give us Cerci. If as expected we sign 2 wide players and revert to a 4-2-3-1, we will need a more articulate...

If he wants Inter he will join us; Bonaventura was told we wouldn't be able to sign him because Guarin stayed, so Milan was his only option. Atletico are in talks with Chelsea about signing him on a free, for which Milan will have to agree to end his loan. Given his failure and salary I see them...

Id take a punt on Balotelli on an 18 month loan with Icardi going the other way; i believe he can prosper under Mancini, while Icardi banging in goals in the PL would maximise the fee we can get for him.
