"AC Milan may be in second place in the standings, and while some of the summer signings have helped them get there, quite a few have struggled to impress as well. Today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport has taken stock of Milan's squad, following the Supercoppa Italiana exit. There is one easy conclusion to make as per the pink newspaper: the second place in the standings, and the 14-game unbeaten run in the league, is thanks to Max Allegri and his staff."
"From one big-money signing to another, Nkunku has had several chances to prove himself and unfortunately, the outcome hasn't been positive. Considering that Milan paid €37m plus bonuses for his services, the performances have been dreadful. The Rossoneri still have faith in him and have assured that his future isn't in doubt. However, it's inevitable that before the transfer window closes, if nothing changes on the pitch, further evaluations will be made. Regardless of Füllkrug's arrival."
"Furthermore, players like Zachary Athekame and David Odogu (who cost €20m) have been rarely used due to their inexperience. Nkunku causing headache Having said the above, no shadow should be cast on the likes of Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot, who have been driving forces in the team so far. The same can be said about Alexis Saelemaekers, who returned to the club after the loan spells at Bologna and Roma."
AC Milan sit second in the league and have a 14-game unbeaten league run largely credited to Max Allegri and his coaching staff. The club spent over €80m on summer signings such as Christopher Nkunku, Koni De Winter and Pervis Estupinan, but those players have struggled to impress. Young signings Zachary Athekame and David Odogu have been rarely used due to inexperience. Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot and Alexis Saelemaekers have been primary contributors. Ardon Jashari has made just two starts after a serious August injury. Nkunku, signed for €37m plus bonuses, has failed to justify his fee, though the club still backs him while monitoring future evaluations.
