“Piatek has the spirit of Milito & the insitinct of Inzaghi. He's a mix of both" - Gazzetta
With what we had in midfield in the late Berlusconi era calling Montolivo dogshit was just stupid. Prime Montolivo (sadly he had a short prime of like 3 seasons) would still walk into our current mid, fucking injuries.
Apparently Phil Coutinho is on sale.
wtf happened?
Dembele kicked him out the starting line up and he can’t start in midfield. So he hasn’t had a great time there.
Coutinho is like the wingers we have now, technical but slow. We need a Dembele not the Samu type though.
Sensi and Duncan are both bossing now. These two would be such assets to our midfield.
De Zerbi is also my #1 replacement choice if we ever fire Rino.
More polish?hmm piatek is very good at taking pk, teknique similar to balo but more polished

How about we just describe his style/strengths without drawing comparisons or likening him to another player. Every time I hear folks say he resembles this legend or plays like that legend...it just makes me cringe real bad. We've heard that shit way too many times... you're just setting him up for failure.
yeah and he'd lead us straight into 12th place.
in fact the more I see it, the more I'm convinced that piatek is the next nordahl
More polish?
Again rumours for Arnaut Groeneveld. I trust our management's eye for talent and have no doubt on his potential, but we need a LW who will walk into our starting line up just from his very first game here. Doubt this injured kid can do it... Just sign Lozano ffs and this kid and have Lozano play as a LW from the next match. Once Arnaut is recovered, Lozano can give Suso some hard challenge. More options -> better Milan

Now, I concern less who we bring in. As long as we don't insist on this 433 formation and go back to 4312 I will be happy.
A moment worth study during match with Juventus is when Paqueta do the back heal to Hakan and Hakan start to dribble with the ball.
1. Hakan doesn't have the speed to dribble fast. Juventus players are tracking back very quickly.
2. Paqueta after the pass didnt really follow up too quickly. He was running to help Hakan.
3. Cutrone was on left trying to run wide to bring more space.
4. Castellijo was on the right side not able to help or support.
This actually summarize what happen to our counter attack at the moment. I don't remember how long we have not been able to get a goal with counter attack.
Paqueta was good creating an opportunity at the very beginning. Hakan was trying to dribble with the ball but apparently at that point he has no one that he can pass the ball. Cutrone on left he is not able to dribble fast. Castellijo on right is just far away being useless in the attack.
If we have Pato at the position of Cutrone playing as SS and Cutrone position as CF in front instead of Castellijo. We can already orchestra our counter attack more efficiently as Pato can dribble fast and create space to keep the attack on our side. The 3 attacker 433 spread too thin and not able to work together is something I really don't like. I still think that player with winger rely too much on the personal ability of the player.

This has been the most boring mercato in the history of mercati, maybe ever.
The Deulofeu mercato was also very boring.Nah the Gustavo Gomez and Jose Sosa was 10 times worse. 3 month mercato and signing just those two
The Deulofeu mercato was also very boring.
Damn, what would I give to have a Deulofeu in our starting line up. I'll never get how G could let him go despite his strong will and commitment to stay.
You're making this sounds far too simple
Lozano is very in demand, Napoli have been working on him with Raiola behind the scenes for a while now, but any potential move would be for the summer. Liverpool too.
Its hard signing such players in winter, hes PSV's most valuable asset not to mention that we cannot do much atm due to FFP
I'm excited to see who Moncada brings
Diawara would be great, he can definitely play a killer ball, whilst some of his strength's are similar to our duo hes more composed and controls tempo better. Can learn from Biglia too
