A good player that's for sure, but not exactly what we need. We need someone who can possess the ball and create from MF.... Verratti.

We need him + Verratti. And I still dont think our mid would be good enough.

Kondogbia - Verratti - "a beast Gattuso style"

subs: van Ginkel, Montolivo, Poli, Mastalli.

If we'd bring back Cristante as well it would be awesome.

In my opinion, Kondogbia is just a taller, younger and slightly faster De Jong.

whoa, whoa whoa....let's not go nuts.

Kondogbia is a proper mezz'ala whereas De Jong is not a proper anything.


Kondogbia would be the LCM or RCM, not the one in front of the defense, although he could probably do a better job than De Jong there as well.

Ok, I might be wrong ... I admit I haven't followed Kondogbia, but from what I've seen his passing skills seemed lacking for a complete midfielder ... especially considering the price tag and salary requests.

Also let's not forget that until a few years ago, De Jong was considered one of the best DM-s, so it's not necessarily an insult

So it looks like he'll go to Arsenal.

A perfect purchase from then.

30 million and a 3mill salary is quite overpriced. Probably 20 mill and 2 mill salary would be fair

Kondogbia is not fast.

Kondogbia is very good in dribbling, De Jong not.

And how the hell you think Monaco will sell him for 20m, they got him for 25m from Sevilla.

I don't know much about him, but I know enough to know he's superior to the Bolis, Noces and De Jongs we've had in the past years.


Lass is a midget who gave up his career as a 27 yo. I wanted him instead of De Jong when we were linked with both in 2012. But Imbula seems capable of more.

sometimes
Kondogbia = 50% Vieira
Imbula = 80% Diaby

Don't know that much about this guy to be honest, just seen the CL games and handful of others, he seems really good, and only born 93' so still lot of time to improve.

35m is a lot and i hope he is worth it if we get this lad.

Just the fact that Galliani flew to Monaco.. means that something is moving to the right direction.. there is already agreement with Monaco.. now he has to convince the player... wich it will be really hard considering we are out of the CL .. and offers coming from Real Madrid & Arsenal..

He seems good from the videos in youtube... lets see what happens..

true, but diaby was the most talented of all the brothers that came after vieira....injuries ruined him. But technically he was a level above these fake brothers france is producing. I wouldnt want him and I really doubt we are interested because he is not the profile we need. He is a box to box midfielder. We are desperate for a quality defensive midfielder

Some players like projects -

There are ones who believe they're good enough to join the elite teams Barca's, Reals etc.. then there are those who want to be part of that journey in reaching the top rather than staying at the top.

Well hopefully G sells it like that..

Milan needs midfielders like Kondogbia and Xabi Alonso, Arsenal needs a midfielder like Xabi Alonso. Coquelin is a tiny kid assigned a tall, physical, veteran role.


Kondogbia won't be able to change shit though in a 4-3-1-2 with De Jong.

ooh Alonso....Beneitez was ready to sell him to us when he was in Liverpool for 14 million. Wenger offered 12 and refuse to go further. Sometimes I wish I could headbutt wenger
