    All is right in the world. We’ve entered talks with Milan over a loan move for Andre Silva.

    Checks all the boxes for me:
    - speaks Portuguese
    - is Portuguese
    - plays for Portugal
    - Jorge Mendes link
    - expensive

    Extremely talented young man... Did really well in Europa action where the game was more open and he had more freedom. Struggled in Italy where the game is slower paced and a bit more physical and tactical. I think he has the chance to be special. Now pay us loads of money because between Silva and the Bonucci sale we need to pay Chelsea for Morata

    My first thought is No. He's 30 and coming off of his worst season since 2012/2013. If his regression has begun...it's never linear.

    The counter argument is that he had the best season of his career with Sarri at Napoli in 2015/2016 - 38 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions. Some argued that Allegri misused Higuain and his system wasn't built for his strength...and a return to Sarri would give him 35 goals next season.

    Acquiring Higuain guarantees 30+ goals for the next 3 years from the position. In the meantime, we can develop Michy to be ready to take over...or develop another younger striker. Either way, Higuain knows Sarri's system and buys you time. So I'm good with it.

    I don't think Sarri has really spoken definitively on him yet...so not sure anybody truly knows how he feels. That having been said, no, I don't think it's guaranteed.

    I want him to. It seems every time he came into the game he scored though his spot starts usually left something to be desired. I’m not sure Conte’s system was best suited for him. He shined at Dortmund though.

    I sure as shit dont believe in him. I'm over him actually. Seeking out Juve anand Milan after being a bitch last season makes me want him to go. Who takes over? Who fucking knows. There has been rumors of Martial as a striker but would rather we get someone who is an actual striker. Higuain is on the back end of his career, with how much he would cost it's a massive risk to bring him in.

    Might be good business to swap him with Donnarumma. We can sell Courtois and reinvest the money to bolster the MF.

    I don’t think Milan has any interest at all in selling Donnarumma. His value dipped thanks to a sub par season and it seems like all the drama that Mino has caused is now a thing of the past.

    What I have read is Milan will make a straight purchase offer for Morata and fund it with the sales of Silva, Kalinic and Bacca
