Which players should AC Milan buy and sell in the summer?

You need actual money to buy players to which, unfortunately, Milan may not have.

From the Summer Mercato thread:

Summer 2012:

Constant 4m
Acerbi 4m
Pazzini 12m (It was a swap with Cassano, don't know the real figure)
De Jong 6m
Salamon 4m
Niang 3m

Total: 33m

Summer 2013:

Zapata 6m
Poli 4m
Matri 12m
Saponara 4m
Vergara 4m

Total: 30m

63m over 2 summers

None of the 2013 summer signings are starters

Looks like AC Milan need some new scouts imo.

No need, youth won't even get a chance. Just ask Cristante and Petagna who were below Essien and f*cking Matri in the pecking order.

Glen Johnson for 10m.

Who in the current AC Milan lineup are guaranteed starters?

Here is my first signing:

1- A bloody good Hitman.

Entire Milan management now dead. We can proceed in actually managing a football club.

As it is, we are looking at a circus show.

El Shaarawy, De Sciglio, De Jong, Montolivo, and Balotelli.

NDJ, Abbiati, Balo, Kaka and Montolivo

The back 4 got shifted a lot, MDS is the defender with the most apps i believe

The 3 behind Balo in Seedorf's 4-2-3-1 are the same, bar Kaka who plays moat of the games unless he's unfit.

According to reports, next season we'll be utilizing a 4-3-1-2. I don't know if SES will fit there, as he stated many times that he prefers the left wing.

They can have Glen Johnson for free

Rumors in English media are that Milan have made Baloteli transfer available and want 30 mil for him. Apparently both Arsenal and Spurs interested

Any truth in that?

----------------New GK
De Sciglio---Rami----New CB----New LB
-----------De Jong---Montolivo
-----New RW-----Honda-------El Shaarawy
-----------------Balotelli

GK options: Marchetti, Nardi, Begovic, Perin - €7-10m

CB options: Alex(free), Doria, Astori, Musacchio - €6-11m

LB options: Santon, Kolarov, Radu, Ricardo Rodriguez - €5-15m

RW options: Cerci, Lamela, dos Santos, Biabiany, Nani - €10-20m

Here's what I'd do, but it makes far too much sense for it to actually happen...


That's 3 signings.

Forza that would actually be a dream summer for you guys.

Buy:Begovic/Marchetti,Alex(Free),Ferri,Menez, Gareth Barry,Torres(Loan)
Sell:Balotelli and Release Essien



(4-2-1-3)Begovic/Marchetti-De Sciglio-Alex-Rami-Abate-Montolivo-De Jong-Ferri-SES-Menez-Pazzini

Subs:Agazzi/Abbiatti,Honda,Kaka,Torres,Bonera,Barry,Emmanuelson,Poli

Galliani: "SES getting back from injury is our Mr. X"

I think we just want to see how much money we could get for Balotelli, if we got 30 we might consider it.

Ofc Biabiany and Iturbe are players that could help our wing play, but they are worth from 10 + and we only sign crappy old Italian players for that amount. Still cant get over the Matri purchase, FFS

If Inzaghi becomes our coach , which does look extremely likely , there's a good possibility that Paloschi could return to Milan .

Also , before anything else Milan has to buy Rami fully. We still haven't managed that and so , everything seems up in the air as to who comes and who leaves at the back. So none can say much as of now.

We got Agazzi and kept Abbiati. So no Perin either.

I'd say we may sign an experienced , possibly free player to replace Montolivo. We will certainly sign at least 2 cbs , because at least 2 out of Rami-Silvestre-Zaccardo are almost guaranteed to leave Milan in the summer. Mexes and Constant may or may not leave , they are up in the air. Idk about Mexes but Constant looks more likely to leave the club. Mexes will leave if we get someone to partner Rami ; if we don't succeed in signing Rami , he will probably stay on for next season . Bonera is Galliani's girlfriend , there's no way he will ever leave Milan. Maybe we could try to sing Darmian , our former youngster ? IDK , but he had a good season and he's in the WC with Italy. But idk.

Up front , not at all optimistic , much will depend if anyone important is going to leave , otherwise , i'd say our priorities this summer look to be in defence and then midfield. I suppose if we do get Paloschi that's all we will get for the attack . And there's always Pazzini and Robinho , two players that won't see each other as teammates next season. One of them will certainly leave this summer and my pick and guess would be , Robinho . So maybe , there's room for one more , so who knows.  

As for left back , idk , whatever. We are not spending any money to get any descent one , so i'd preffer De Sciglio to stay as our lb and just sign a youngster or promote one to back him up. Constant pls , better leave this summer. The fans hate him. He's a disgrace to Maldini's position and a joke compared to De Sciglio . He's not a left back , basically.

Out : Constant , Amelia , Zaccardo , Emanuelson , Essien , Birsa , Robinho . Possibly one of Taarabt or Rami , sadly. I don't see us signing both tbh.

In , oh well . I don't even care to name names , perhaps other than Paloschi who i remember Inzaghi always rated , we're not spending any money so to say we could predict anything. Check the free list of players , some of them may sign and who knows , maybe 1-2 young players in some weird deal. That's it. Maybe , we could sign Parolo to replace Montolivo in the midfield.. looking at Parma's problems , who knows. There may be a chance our circus management could be going after him.

Milan and buy in the same sentence

SES ------ Iturbe
Balo
Poli - NDJ - Monty
MDS - Musacchio - Rami - Abate
Perin

Even dreams can't save us now. Montolivo likely to be out for six months.

If Kevin Konstantine Kasanova Konstantinopoli Konstantinovs Konstant remains in Milan, that will be like a new signing.

That's all we need if I may be honest.

The really bizarre thing is that Galliani signs low quality players on free transfers and pays them huge wages instead of purchasing high quality youngsters for low transfer fees and with low wages. After 2 or 3 seasons, the latter option not only gives you a potentially world class player, but is actually cheaper as well.

So when people say, "Galliani and Berlusconi are being stingy", that's almost incorrect because if they were astute businessmen, we wouldn't have all this high-wage deadwood in our squad. As far as I know, we still have a far higher wage bill than Roma, Napoli, etc. "Stingy" is not the word. Our transfer strategy could only be described as outright stupidity.

Spot on Forza, we actually do have money, albeit not a lot. The issue is that we throw it on players who are either:

1) Young, usually ignored,they go on a loan journey throughout Italy and are highly unlikely to come back to Milan

2) Completely unnecessary players in positions that don't need reinforcing
