"In the last month, five players have returned from the national team, practically dead. I couldn't let them play. The squad size is right. The club is working to plan like the Milan of recent years. January is a strange transfer window... Bringing in players who aren't needed... We have players who are growing and who can give us much more in the second half of the season."
"Last season's mid-season mercato left many feeling underwhelmed. Milan signed several players, but there was seemingly no strategy to any additions. Of course, some arrived with reason, but Riccardo Sottil's arrival was questionable, for example. This January, the Rossoneri must be smarter. The room for error is small, and whilst the step to success seems small, it could do more damage than good."
January's transfer window is slightly more than a month away and AC Milan face choices about incoming players. Last season's mid-season mercato produced several signings with little clear strategy, and some additions such as Riccardo Sottil were questioned. The club must be more selective because the room for error is small and excessive or insufficient activity could hinder progress. Massimiliano Allegri noted that several players returned from international duty exhausted, that the squad size is currently appropriate, and that the club is planning carefully. Allegri warned that January can prompt unnecessary signings and emphasised that existing players may contribute more in the second half of the season, while many supporters expect at least three new arrivals.
