Slight hot take: De Winter is imo better for the CCB role than the RCB role. He is decently agile for his size but I feel for RCB it could be more ideally and he isn´t that aggressive which lends itself more to the central role. CCB is often the second in line and not committing too aggressively can be a feature there.
I feel he is a bit small still. Build wise.
He needs to pack on more mass.

Agreed. Kid is only 18 though? However old he is dint check. But yea there is potential clearly.

We should sell sale and id a good offer comes for Chuck even him and get a proper wing back/AM.

I would also sell
Pulisic but I guess we need him for the brand value.

Sell Musah too while he is performing. We can do so much better.
We can't sell everyone one day after the first match.

Estupi defending is a disaster waiting to happen.
Good teams will punish him easily.

Besides his brainfarts, the way he was outpaced on a Torino counter yesterday was pretty much embarrassing.
and by a white guy to boot.

Versatile player

And a backup striker/AM

Out of all our current players, KDW might just be the best fit for the CCB position... He can be an outright defender who has all the physical tools to hold the block in front of the keeper and dominate in the air. As for the mistakes, he just needs to get used to dealing with any remotely dangerous situation by simply clearing his lines, even if that means booting the ball into the stands.

Jube-AC final for Europa League trophee, make it happen
If we take this competition seriously (and start playing good football), there are no more than 3-4 teams that could be a problem. The rest should be beaten with 60% of the starters.
The fact that there are no longer teams dropping out of CL is a huge advantage.

Everybody is happy today which is refreshing to see. A good win can do wonders for the morale and I actually slept very well last night because of it.

Against Venezia I want to see Ramos score to get him going, also curious to see what Moreira offers as I've never watched him play before. There's not much time left for the mercato and we need a couple of additions.

If Rabiot moves closer to goal, we need to add a capable CM, and a CCB with good feet like Gila.

Ahem, ahem. He's actually quite fast.
Was it Pedersen? One of your paesanos that looked very good. (paesano as in fellow countryman).

Being in bed with The Athletic is great business for us (Horncastle set next to Gerry last night), and could prove beneficial in terms of the US market visibility.

Gerald's PR abilities are impressive, no wonder that's his field.

We are still the fastest growing football brand or some shit despite no sporting results.

I've been saying for a fucking decade that Milan is a sleeping dragon.
As soon as we have a consecutive string of good summers, there's no reason Milan shouldn't be among the top, at the very least much bigger than Inter/Juve instead of hovering around the same level.

It felt like Elliott was taking us there with Maldini, after which Redbird burnt it down.
Now we try again, but again, at the very least we have been growing the brand and revenues the past 5 years so that is good.

I still think the ultimate goal of getting back can not happen without a director of football with good long term vision. I was excited about the possibility of Milan hiring Krösche but alas, it didn't happen.

I don't think we getting Dias. He would be great but we not getting him. Don't see City letting go
Wishful thinking from my side I guess. But you get the profile.

Similar interesting names on top of my mind:

That would honestly be a perfect end to the mercato. Sell Pervis. Get Mazraoui. Get a CCB.

CM and CF only if we loan Comotto and Camarda.
CM would actually be needed if Rabiot stays primarily at RAM, and we're not counting on Ricci, Fofana, Bondo as it seems.

One worker/destroyer profile (Hojbjerg, Musah) + a creative midfielder (Modric/Jashari/Comotto) and we're set. Jashari lacks Modric's qualities, but he's been very good at pressing, something not to underestimate.

I think Jashari will get plenty of playing time since Luka has to be managed responsibly, even Comotto should get his amount of minutes as it is long season on three fronts.

Also, I'm not comfortable going with 2 strikers through the season, unless Amorim sees Pulisic or someone from AM as makeshift striker in case of emergency, which I doubt.

I would keep both Comotto and Camarda, they'll get their chances and minutes.

IN: CCD (Dias, Min, Tapsoba, Hancko kind of profile), Hojbjerg, Mazraoui and Zirkzee (loan)
OUT: Tomori, Fofana, Ricci (loan w option), Estupinan (?), Bondo, Nkunku (loan w option), Leao (?)
