Either Gattuso is being genuine, or he is a rank bad liar

Hopefully something concrete tonight.

Gazetta delo Sport say he will likely not play and Cutrone will. They seem certain a deal is done, or almost. Wouldnt be surprised if something gets confirmed tonight

Far too much of a coincidence IMO. Either that or it is the worst timing possible if true. I'd have thought even with a fever you'd still manage to stand there for all of 30 seconds to have a photo. Was talk yesterday he may not play due to the potential deal

Gattuso has a presser later i suspect, see what he says

it's Sarri who wants Higuain. If Higuain can get anywhere near the Napoli form under Sarri we will be loving it

he's deleted it.

Milan fans on twitter are losing their shit over that tweet claiming its false information and he did not say that Well ok, but reading between the lines of Gattuso's quote, what else could he possibly be on about? Its not rocket science

the football is turgid at times. Sideways, pass, pass, pass. I think i can count on one hand amount of times we shoot from outside the box

Not in the squad again. Injured, or being kept injury free for a potential move?

yeh has to be a loan IMO. Milan, if (big if) they get top 4, will pay Juventus 54m Euros in total for the whole operation inc. the loan fee of 18m euros. We wont pay anywhere near that. So a loan with obligation to buy is a no-no, because Juve would likely want similar to the Milan agreement. And a straight permanent deal is a no go because what would Juventus ask? If they're on course to get 54m euros from Milan?

Bit of a give away there from Paredes me thinks Looks like this is our man, not Barella

The priority will likely be a Cesc replacement. Unless Morata goes, we wont sign a striker Just my opinion, of course

Agreed. Seen a few on Twitter wanting Mount over Paredes and/or Barella. Don't think Mount is near Paredes at the moment. Without sounding too gloomy, i think we need to be ready for Mount to never feature for us

Juventus would be the main party to talk to, they own him. But Milan have paid for a loan so they have a major say too. Juventus cant just turn around and say "Higuain is going to Chelsea" and be done with it. If Milan get suitably compensated, the deal will go through i reckon. Why would they keep a player who seemingly does not want to be there, and the DoF Leonardo, has had a public rant about If I had to guess, I would say Juve or us will give Milan 9m euros, Higuain will join on a loan with option to buy, and we will allow Milan to purchase Bakayoko for cheaper than originally agreed, if they decide to. total guess though

You can take over a loan, but as stated Milan would need to cancel it first. And seeing as they paid 18m euros to loan him initially for the season, they'll want to be compensated. (otherwise they've paid for something they haven't had... in a sense) And i suspect they will want the monies from us, say half plus maybe a loan of Morata Juventus will agree to the deal, they wanted him out to start with. And if Higuain really wants out of Milan and tells them that, could see the deal happen IMO. I just think for a 6month loan, maybe with an option to buy, its a no brainer. If the possibility to buy is mandatory, I'm not so comfortable with it. We're all speculating but supposedly Milan play on Saturday so we could see us shift our ass and sort something before then, because if he plays and bags a hat trick, Milan are not sending him anywhere lol

Our board will reject it. Ill put my house on it (if true)

the most boring rumour around, Icardi is. Every. Single. Window. His next club will be Real Madrid. He'll never play for us, be real

no one knows. Smacks of Golovin to me. All links to us, and looks set to join, reported bids bla bla bla then boom, signed by someone else (napoli)

The stuff about Marina and Sarri disagreeing on targets is, IMO, utter bollocks. These journos were in the room when it happened were they? It's lazy journalism, why would our club go through all that hassle of sacking Conte; and fighting tooth and nail for Sarri to then not back him? It makes no sense. Plus, at the end of the day, its Roman who gives the nod. If he wants us to play like Sarri's Napoli with attacking football, then back him. I think he will, too. He did with Jorginho. All the talk of rows and disagreements is coming from Italy. I think they're wrong. Just my 2 cents A few people moaning on Twitter because we aint getting Cavani or Icardi. I mean, seriously, we never were/are

So much differing stories so no one has a clue. Dimarzio seems to be sitting on the fence slightly, refusing to definitely say where he is going. Starting to get like Golovin. All set for Chelsea then out of nowhere, hes off elsewhere. i suspect napoli. We'll see

I would feel far more comfortable with Higuain leading the line than Morata. thats enough for me

think the journo is considered pretty decent

take over the loan with option to buy i seen

People downhearted about this, did you really think we had any chance of getting Cavani or Icardi? Dreaming.
