AC Milan have made three moves in the defence this summer. However, Franco Ordine believes that it is not enough.
This summer seems to have been quite polarising for some. In some departments, it is understandable. As a whole, it makes sense. Milan, ultimately, are still without a striker, and there is a worry that ideas have been missed.
However, the players who have arrived have generally been viewed quite well; Ardon Jashari and Samuele Ricci were long-time targets brought to the club successfully. However, there are questions about the amount spent.
Questions that need answering
There also appears to be some doubts about the completion of some areas, with Ordine stating that the defence is lacking. Reports this morning suggest that Massimiliano Allegri wants another defender. Something which the journalist would probably agree with.
His views on the situation were written into an editorial piece for MilanNews earlier today.
“Defensively, things don’t add up: without Walker, Theo Hernandez, Emerson Royal, and now Thiaw, and with De Winter, plus Estupinan, Athekame, and perhaps Okoli, there hasn’t been any progress. It’s true: Allegri sees Bartesaghi’s qualities as a potential surprise in that role as Theo’s replacement, but he still has a lot of progress to make before he deserves a starting spot at AC Milan.
“Then there’s the Jimenez thorn in his side: he showed up late for training three times, and Allegri sent him back to AC Milan in the future. Many call him, who knows why, the…Theo effect. Try giving him a watch that works!!!!!!!!!”
