Among the many interesting things Sinisa Mihajlovic said in the yesterday's presser, one in particular sticks out: whilst the public focusses on the Frosinone game, the Serbian coach said that this winter's transfer plans have been a topic for discussion for two months, and that Milan already have a very clear idea of who they want to add to the side. 

We have Kevin-Prince Boateng, who has already agreed to move to the San Siro until June. The Rossoneri are clearly getting rid of dead weight, too: Suso is set to move to Genoa, whilst Antonio Nocerino is unsure of his destination. Jose Mauri, Diego Lopez, the recently-red-carded Nigel de Jong and six defenders could also be shown the door. 

A key to Mihajlovic's plans is his defence of Milan's summer acquisitions: Carlos Bacca, Andrea Bertolacci and Alessio Romagnoli cost nearly €80 million combined, drawing much criticism from fans and media alike. 

"I've been in talks with the club for two months, we're not adding random players, but elements that can make a difference". 

Milan's strategy is simple: instead of revolutionising the squad or adding backups, the club will spend for a few specific targets.

The midfield is particularly fragile, and the idea is to gift Mihajlovic two players, a winger (Diego Perotti) and a central midfielder. As Fabrizio Romano reported earlier, Perotti's move to the Meazza was scuppered by Suso's refusal to go the other way. The central midfield is more of a mystery, with Sinisa hinting that he would need a physical player with technique, someone who could make a difference both in defence and attack, a rather generic profile.
