I won’t be surprised if we wait for Thauvin until summer. It’s the type of move that could upset the amazing balance and team spirit that this team has exhibited in 2020.

Samu should return to Spain after this season with a better RW arriving and rotating with Sael.

I do think we will buy a DM and/or CB. DM is by far the biggest need, hopefully a young, hungry talent like Tonali comes in.

Inter and Juve are shit. The title is between us and Napoli this year

Juve are 100% guaranteed to be competing for Scudetto come April. No chance that isn?t the case.

Inter have the squad to win the Scudetto. With one game a week they are likely to challenge. Napoli might or might not compete depending on Rino and Oshimen


Roma will compete for top 4 along with Atalanta. Nazio might or might not. Sassuolo and Verona between 7th and 10th

Milan, juventus & inter will fight for the title
Napoli & Roma for 4th spot
Verona, Sassuolo, Atalanta & lazio for euro league spot.

This is how the table is shaping up.

I pretty much agree with you. Napoli likely won?t challenge for the title or they could with an outside chance if Oshimen morphs into a legit Serie A striker but it?s more likely they compete for 4tb

Napoli problem is that they are playing a formation that needs a #10.

When osimhen is healthy gattuso deploys Mertens behind him as a #10 and this is where they are falling short.

It can work against weaker teams but Mertens will be shredded if he plays between CBS and Dms, a good ones I think.

Right and also Gattuso is their manager.

Tbh i would rather pay 10 m for Thauvin this winter and give him modest wages then get him for free and pay him big wages but i trust Maldini

Corriere della Sera on newsstands today, 13 December: this week Calhanoglu's agent will be in Milan. It will be necessary to see if the initial request of 7 million will remain so or will decrease. Milan starts from 3 million. The feeling is that the summit between the parties will be interlocutory.

Sources: AC Milan is one of the (very many) teams chasing FC Dallas fullback Bryan Reynolds.

Reynolds, 19, gathering huge interest from Europe despite just 15 career MLS starts so far with Dallas. #USMNT #DTID

Im just politely asking has anyone in here watched like 10 full Thauvin's games?

From what I've seen of him - limited to YT clips including match highlights - he's a much better "Suso". He's not a turtle and won't just stand with the ball forever before taking the same action to cross or lose the ball.

I saw Thauvin in some CL matches, he was playing in the CF position and he was abysmal.

Never saw him play at RW, so I trust in Maldini.

Yes and I'm not sold to it.

He's a good RW with playmaking capabilities but I do not think he is a large improvement to what we have. He shine against small teams but as soon as the opponent press him hard he completely disappears.

He will score against Crotone and Samp but will be completely toothless against the top 6. This is not what we need.

Belotti isn?t great Milan material..

8 goals in 10 games for an abysmal Torino side + he's the type of strong CF who hold the ball like Ibra.

He's completely what we need after Ibra. I do not see better CF currently in the market that we can get and is willing to join.
