Kinda both. I guess we could say he's a wing forward. Prior to his injury he was used at Stuttgart either as a winger in 3-4-2-1 or as a forward in 3-5-2. Perhaps his purchase has nothing to do with Vlahovic situation but 27m is a lot of money for a club like Fiorentina.

Agent of Wijnaldum to Fabrizio Romano: "Inter were the first team to make an important offer in January. I felt with Piero Ausilio but then the owner, Mr. Steven Zhang, had problems and difficulties in taking money out of China.

LOL

It seems that Milan missed Tonali's deadline to make the deal permanent and he's heading back to Brescia.

Its wishful thinking.....but we should sell Martinez for $100M leaving decent players but more balanced books. So Strategy would be something like this;

Sell Vidal, Vecino, Sanchez, Martinez
Buy Gosens, Raspadori

Lineup would be:

Lukaku and ?
Gosens, Sensi/Eriksen, Brozovic, Barella, Hakimi
Bastoni, De Vrij Skrniar

sub roles Perisic/Gags/Sensi/Eriksen/Darmian/Rannochia and D'ambrosio

Its a risk and clusterfuck but at least with this squad there would be some highlights during the season....

Lautaro is not worth 100m. No way!
We should calibrate our expectations!

Distaste for Calhanoglu aside, Maldini and co. are having a nightmare so far. Donnarumma + Hakan gone for 0 when they could have easily made 100m between the pair of them, Mandzukic flopped, Ibra injured, Tonali still not redeemed and the option has expired now, couldn't renegotiate the price for Tomori.

They've essentially spent 28m for a weaker team than they had last year so far. If this was happening on the blue side of Milano we'd be getting slaughtered by the media.

41m actually. They spent 13m for Maignan. The most amazing thing about Milan is Maldini is getting praised for those moves. When Inter sold Icardi for 50m they were criticised for selling him too cheap but now Maldini is showing who's the boss with losing Donnarumma and Hakan for free. :lol:

Another interesting case is the media reaction about two ex Milan players who currently play for Italy national team, Locatelli and Pessina. Locatelli was sold for 14m because he was considered good enough while Pessina was used as a counterpart for Conti. Now Locatelli is the hottest Serie A player in the transfer market while Pessina is considered a one of the most promising Italian midfielders. No one is making a fuss over Milan losing two great prospects. Just imagine how different media reaction would have been if they were products of Inter youth system.

Ah the never-ending delusional stories about Milan again. Not long ago I still remember some Milan fans here spamming things like "Hakan is more important than Ibra" or "We (Milan) haven't played with the strongest lineup (Hakan injured at that time)". Just to masturbate with their (nonexistent) squad depth.

Now that he is joining us, suddenly becoming a walking donkey whom forget how to play football. Talking about bias :lol:

Wait and see "Hauge is the next Rui Costa" or such.

Now that you mention it ever since Di Marzio broke the news about Inter and Hakan twitter is full of Milanisti thanking Inter for taking Hakan :D

Thanking for what? His contract is expiring in a week. Or do they still think they're keeping Donnarumma?

Maybe they think he was going to sign extension in the next few days and no one else is interested...that's only thing that would make sense.
