This is a good deal for Milan. Despite Nkunku being quite talented, his performance with Chelsea is not as good as expected. H

How in the name of god is this a good deal?
They will be paying 30+ million euros for somebody that has no place in Chelsea's team, so again, how in the name of god are you going to compete at the top against such teams when you buy the spare parts from them?

It's again the same tactic that has drawn this team into nothingness, trying to patch it up with broken parts and for millions of euros, they simply need to stop doing this, just dump it all, start with fresh new your players and put an end to this chain of suffering and hype that turns to nothing. Stop spending and bringing in players that are themselves problems for other teams.

I understand the frustrations, it is like another ex-Chelsea rescue. But context matters. Milan attempted a pure CF (Boniface failed his medical, Harder talks collapsed). They did not panic-lend a journeyman, but rather they leaned over a model that has already proven itself: Tomori, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic all were brought through the same Chelsea surplus door and became starters here. Nkunku is the most dangerous one, yea, but the best ceiling

And the club has not blowing the bank. Pre-Nkunku they carried a +55.8m net transfer balance, record 457m revenue, 4m profit. This is opportunism: Chelsea was forced to sell to meet the positive balance requirement of UEFA, Milan had money and leverage. The sell-on clause will limit resale upside, but the actual test is coaching. Provided that Allegri does take him as a second striker or false 9 (rather than pushing him wide as Chelsea did), he does have the process statistics to support being a difference-maker. It fails and yes, it is patchwork. Hit and you have now got Leao, Pulisic, Nkunku as a front three
