More like Barry to a Fernando. Although that never went through but it was precisely what Rafa was trying to do when he was ready to ship off Alonso for Gareth fecking Barry.

Wasn't he out of contract and without a club when we got him. I think he knows his status is #2 for a top club or #1 for a mediocre one. He chooses the former from the looks of it.
Oh my bad mate! I don't think Martial is going anywhere, we'd be foolish to let him go.
No apparently it has to be one or the other.
What some are failing to realise is that we did cross the ball last season just very poorly. Wouldn't it be nice to get someone who can do that more accurately for a better chance of converting them?
Milan's literally buying a new team...
AC Milan mean business, crazy
The bearded era is in full effect, players are doing this more & more
They not spent roughly the same as us and Everton so far?
Bonucci alone can't be categorized similarly since he would have never gone for that price to England or anywhere else for that matter - Bonucci, Silva, Conti, Calhanoglu, Musaccio, Rodriguez, Biglia, Borini & Kessie + Donnarumma's future resolved. Transfer window not finished either. Has anyone had a better off season so far? Would be hard to imagine
Apart from Bonucci, that's a lot of average right there. I don't think you'd can class that bunch of players that good of a window, last year United had a better one and Real showed in 2009 what's a good window, IMO.
It's still a great window for Milan to be fair, especially as a start of their "revolution". Let's not forget they aren't in the Champions League next season and despite being one of the greatest historical clubs in world football, are not as attractive destination as Real Madrid, Manchester United or Bayern Munich, so it's unfair to use our or Madrid's past business against them.
I think it's a great first step for them, but the next few windows would be equally important. The results on the pitch too, and I'm not too sure Montella is the right man for the job.
Ricardo Rodriguez is average?
Silva, Conti & Kessie alone are great signings. It is a young and talented group already, moreover all in one window - its rather unheard of I think. They close on Belotti or Aubameyang and I would say they will easily have the best offseason of any big club in Europe this summer
Excited about the player when Chelsea were favorites to sign saying how good a signing it is, never a word on Lukaku when ManUtd signed him and now shitting on him saying he wasn't first choice when the player himself said he gave the word to the club long back.Ricardo Rodriguez is average?
His development has stalled immensely. Why do you think no big club has been in for him?
Biglia, Borini, Calhanoglu are all pretty average too imo.
agree
I don't know if the Sun is banned here, but Warren Haughton is as far as I remember a trusted journalist.
There's a very easy way to find out.
Ricardo Rodriguez is average?
Rodriguez had a very good period and was hailed as the next big thing on LB position. However, he never fulfilled this potential and is very lucky in my opinion that Milan went in for him.
Yes the first page didint expect that
. But For the record, the Sun was the first to talk about utd's interest in Ivan PerisicMirror are reporting '£60m take it or leave offer' for Dier.
Even so, they got him for a very good price. If he returns to any kind of previous form, they've done very well indeed.
Yup agree. The whole AC wank fest on here is extremely OTT.
Move must be imminent, player has left training camp
Levy making £110m on Walker and Dier, both youth prospects who cost them nothing. There's no way he'll turn that down.
To be fair, they're buying solid squad players. You've got to start somewhere. They'll be after bigger names next summer.
I hope we finally move on to other targets once that bid is rejected
I was a fan of Rodriguez but haven't actually seen him play in ages so I don't know how he is these days. The other three are stone average players, though.
Obviously Bonucci is a cracking signing and Donnarumma signing a new deal is great news for them. They have also signed Andre Silva who I know nothing about, but a-few on here reckon he isn't all that. A-lot of their signings so far strike me as early day City (mega rich version) signings.
This years hipster club, just wait
Seems that way alright. Let's not forget that the gimps gave Liverpool a CL victory. They should never be forgiven for that.
Dier and £60m in one sentence just does not sit right with me. That sort of money should be buying you Alexis or other proven goalscorers not freaking DM.
The right amount for him in todays market. I'm guessing it'll be a two-year loan with each year costing €10m then €70m after the loan.
