Napoli seem pretty motivated to get rid of Gabbiadini, at least if the rumors are accurate. Another story today said they're trying to sell him and would then pay a lot of money for Zaza.

I just did a lol at this quote from Di Francesco in football italia's writeup of today's Sassuolo match

quote:

New signing Alessandro Matri was given his debut tonight, but missed a number of presentable chances.

“He moved a lot and he held it up well, he ran well and he got some minutes in his legs. He had a lot of chances, we’re hoping he’s saving a goal for the next ones!”

Allegri said that Bonucci will miss tomorrow's game against Lazio for personal reasons. Looks like that big spending on Benatia was worth it!

Same starting lineup as last time but with Benatia instead of Bonucci.

It's a bid odd that Lichtsteiner is a backup player now, but can't really argue with it.

I really like him, OP. Really good at breaking up opposing possession, and gets the ball forward to teammates efficiently.

Bologna is trying to sign Cerci and Gabriel at the last minute, with both looking likely. I think Milan probably doens't have much faith in Gabriel because it's just Gigio and Diego Lopez now, with the youth team keeper maybe being the third.

Diego Lopez ended up going to Espanyol at the deadline

Here's a last day of mercato story for you all - Maksimovic is due his medicals by the end of today in Napoli (11pm CEST so another 4 hours or so) but he's stuck in Frankfurt as the airport is on lockdown due to a presumed terrorist threat.

I can just imagine DeLa's reaction.

Napoli ended up signing him without having a medical. I mean, he's probably healthy, right?

Poor Milan, that mercato was an absolute dumpster fire. Did absolutely nothing to address any of the weaknesses in the squad, and only spent any real money on a striker they don't need (shocking, right?). I get that the ownership situation is complicated, but it was still pretty sad.
