It's soon for Cutrone to be put in that sentence. No defense worth its salt would be scared of hime yet, he still got a long way to go physically and technically.

Dude is far from a finished product but he's already a good striker. He needs to do what he did last season on a consistent basis while simultaneously improve on his skillset. Only way to do that is to play him with a WC striker. Romagnoli was a good CB pre Bonucci but he's already improved a ton after being paired with Bon. A good mix of youth and experience is great for team building. Next stop, Madrid. Bring Luka home to play with Loca.

Is Cavani just on the want list or is there a credible link other than hoping PSG do Milan a goodness if we give them Bonucci?

The 4 challenges that Elliott has at Milan in the near future:

1. New executives (Leonardo OK, now Gazidis and then Gandini)
2. Move for Higuain (Morata also an option)
3. Defend the establishment (Sell without weakening the team)
4. FFP (Find an agreement with UEFA)

Yeah I was meaning to ask you Genny, how many posts until I get to see my parents again? I hope you're feeding them well while you are holding them hostage.

Gotta say, I don't agree with your methods on an ethical level, but their efficiency can't be doubted :o

The official announcement of Leonardo at Milan should arrive in the next hours. Leonardo has already started his work at Milan a few days ago, and with Mirabelli potentially leaving, Leonardo could be in charge of the transfer market until a new SD is chosen. The possible candidates to replace Mirabelli as the sporting director at Milan is Cristiano Giuntoli and Sean Sogliano. [Gazzetta]

Milan will head into the judging room, trying to accept the penalties on Milan, without further tightening the relationship with UEFA. It's possible that Milan could receive a fine, a squad restriction in Europa League, or a decrease in premium prizes in Europa League. [Gazzetta]

Premium prizes?

It's the payout for reaching group, winning rounds and stuff, prize money

It's okay, EL money is barely anything as is.

The €70M valuation that Milan has on Gigio Donnarumma has been lowered. However, Elliott does not seem willing to sell Donnarumma. [Gazzetta]

Matri was always an average player. He was a system player at Juve. Higuain on the other hand has been a very very good player for the best part of 10 years.

So technically he's not for sale, therefore his valuation actually is increased ... no? :lol:

Fucking Gazzetta can't even invent a logical story, morons :lol:

That co-CEO theory is no theory. It's Elliott DNA.

I think the point is that the value of the player (as decided by the market) has been lowered and Elliott aren't willing to sell at that valuation.

The Gazetta piece suggests Donnas value has been lowered by Milan. Doesn't mention the market.
