250 million euros spent and 11 new players signed. How is it possible that after such a radical overhaul AC Milan are positioned in mid-table instead rather than on top?
It is now clear that Milan’s summer transfer campaign has been marked numerous errors, both tactically and numerically. Too many players were signed, some in undefined roles, changing the formation when the transfer window had already started. The backbone built in the previous season has been swept away, which if strengthened with prudence in the right positions, would have allowed the Rossoneri a progressive and constant growth. The idea of revolutionizing everything did not bring benefits, given that at the moment we are regretting several players who have left Milanello in the past few months.
THERE IS MORE – Despite the impaired mercato, the tactical problems and the exponential lack of belief, new purchases can not be just that. It is possible that some of them have been overvalued, but it is unthinkable that this block of players has impoverished their technical value. Rodriguez brought Switzerland to the World Cup and is widely regarded as the best left back in his country’s history, Bonucci was for years a pillar of Juventus and Italy, Lucas Biglia at Lazio was envied by everyone, Kalinic with Fiorentina was a goal scoring machine, Andre Silva in the national team has a frightening goal average… And we could continue like this for a long time. What is the problem? The too many expectations or rather a lack of character? The fact is that in order to save a season that now appears to be unsaveable the club must solve this incredible interrogative.
VALORISATION – The non-paradox is that, after a pharaonic summer transfer window, the best are those who already played at Milan, Donnarumma apart. We are talking about Bonaventura, Suso and even Montolivo, players who appeared almost overshadowed by the new ones, without the field having said the last word. Now the red and blacks cling to these few elements, knowing that their contribution can not be enough to save Milan. Now it’s imperative to enhance recent purchases, or at least some of them, trying to understand the reasons for these so unsatisfactory months. However overvalued it is mandatory to expect more and this evolution must be sought by any means necessary.
