Probable lineup vs. Genoa (4-3-3):



Donnarumma; Abate, Zapata, Musacchio, Rodriguez; Paquetà, Bakayoko, Çalhanoglu; Suso, Cutrone, Borini. [Sky]




Gattuso fielding an actual creative midfield :eek:
Borini, yes!

IMO, he is not that worth. I have problems with his defensive duties in the middle of the park. Now, if we are talking about Fabian Ruiz then let's talk. Napoli got a real gem on him.

Ruiz might be worth 70m (in today's market) but SMS today finally had some decisive moments, he didn't score, but he had some threats. I agree with you, he really doesn't provide defensive cover, and even worse, he doesn't have the ability to take pressure off with possession. He's like a bonus attacker, but doesn't do many things required of a central midfielder.

He really is a poor man's Pogba.

#esclusive @acmilan have practically purchased #Groeneveld. It is being determined whether to leave him there until June and get someone ready immediately, if by 31 January they are not able to get to another left winger, then they will bring Groeneveld in immediately, a highly appreciated player. #OracoloRN (@seanpelucchi)

And two very defensive fullbacks. Genoa will park the bus and we will have no width to create scoring opportunities

Milan launched a first bid to sign Club Brugge left winger Arnaut Groeneveld on loan with option to buy for €10M. The slowdown in negotiations is due to the lack of economic agreement & the player’s physical condition as he just recovered from an ankle injury

Groeneveld has been recommended by Milan’s new head of scouts Geoffrey Moncada [@cmdotcom]

Moncada stamp of approval=do it

Some interesting young players at Empoli for the midfield, Traore and Zajc.

I think some patience is required, it’s just hard. But Leonardo and Moncada are targeting the type of players we all wish we had been after since 2005 really. Paqueta is a perfect example, Piatek also even though the timing is tough.

New manager is the biggest need, though, we have to get that right over the summer.

Very obvious that it is only CL football that matters for Gazidis/Leo. Even if we finish 1 point behind the 4th place, Gattuso will be sacked if he does not achieve CL qualification.

ok thats all good the side needs a player like him

would feel a whole lot better if he wasn't playing against belgium factory workers but here we are

Haven't been able to follow closely lately... is Piatek actually confermato or is this a premature ejaculation?

However, a reminder that 99.8% is more confermato than 99.9% in Galliani's world

Verdi would have been a nice option to have. Would've rather bought him than Samu.

Ankle injury since October.




i know people who are die hard FCB fans, they all don't know when he'll be back again


only player i'd recommend from Belgium is Trossard, unfortuantely, we're not linked to him

Djenepo or Groeneveld who is better?


Djenepo is very young and inconsistent
Groeneveld played 3 months superb and the other three months he was injured, if he joins us and is healed completely, he'll need 3? weeks to get fit
