Sadly i had totally seen it coming. It is a typical Marotta move especially considering our financial situation. Taking a starter from a rival on a free who may (but probably not) fill a need.
But i fear it's a panic buy. And not only because there could be much better market opportunities if we were willing to take a risk and wait for a midfielder from a top club to become available on loan. But mostly because Hakan isn't suited to playing as LCM in a midfield trio. Hakan became a definite starter for Milan when Pioli used him as CAM instead of LCM or LW like his predecessors. Prior to Pioli, Hakan was very inconsistent, average even at his best and he usually was on the list of deadwood Milan wanted to offload.
Using Hakan in a midfield trio can only end up in tears.
