Cuomo says Milan lacked 'now or never' mentality in the summer: "It's inexplicable"

"Michael Cuomo has stated that Milan lacked the crucial 'now or never' approach in the summer, failing to aim high when that's exactly what they should have done. The first half of the season, or nearly anyway, has been very positive for Milan with 32 points collected after 15 games played. However, it's clear that things could have been a lot better if Massimiliano Allegri had more depth."

"The manager has indeed suffered with his selection at times, forced into makeshift solutions and often without any proper options on the bench. As such, everyone is hoping that reinforcements will be made next month, and Niclas Fullkrug will be the first. Harsh but necessary verdict When asked about the summer window in his interview with MilanNews, the Telelombardia journalist Michael Cuomo stated that Milan lacked a 'now or never' mentality."

Milan achieved a positive start with 32 points from 15 games, but squad limitations have constrained potential. The summer transfer window favored lower-risk or inexplicable signings over ready-made players, with De Winter seen as a downgrade after a €40m sale and acquisitions like Odogu and Athekame judged poorly suited. Allegri has at times been forced into makeshift selections and has lacked dependable bench options. Reinforcements are widely expected in January, with Niclas Fullkrug targeted. Comparisons to Napoli under Conte underline a different, more aggressive transfer approach aimed at immediate success.
