"According to our correspondent sent to Casa Milan, Donato Orgnoni, agent of Patrick Cutrone, arrived at Casa Milan for the latest documents before leaving for Wolverhampton. The young striker will go to the English club for 18 million euros plus four bonuses and in the next few hours he will sign a four-year two-million-a-season.

Then this

Patrick Cutrone will leave for England this afternoon and tonight and tomorrow morning he will conduct medical examinations with Wolverhampton. On Wednesday, the young striker will then train for the first time with his new team. The English club will try to have it available for the Europa League preliminary match against Crusaders FC scheduled for Thursday."

What look to be two very strong signings thus far that should both be very capable of being in the starting eleven when called upon

Yes, hoping they will be good enough for the first team.

Two class midfielders and two top defenders short of winning the Premier.

Will settle for 15th.

From what I have gathered about Cutrone he is a different kind of forward to both Jiminez and Jota. Whereas their movement off the ball, ball control and running with the ball are all features of their game, Cutrone is much more of a traditional centre forward who is looking to get on the end of things in the danger area. Probably wont help our all round game as much as them but may be more likely to be in the right place if we can lay on the chances.

Good to have someone that offers something different to give our play some variety and at 21 he will only get better. Be great if him and Vallejo get some game time on Thursday.

Nuno saying he wants two more for us to be where he want us to be

We used to call that position "Goal Hanger" when I was at school. How things have changed.

Rafa Mir seemed set to sign for Birmingham City but it looks like he will now end up at Forest. Maybe Eno will go to Blues instead

Yeah virtually all the action from Cutrone on that video is in the 6 yard box. Kind of thing Gary Lineker made a good living from. Those kind of players are fine as long as you are getting the ball into those areas for them to feed off

Just got back from Italy, mate was talking to a Milan fan this morning who said that Cutrone has a lot of promise and the they're not happy to see him go.

My mate has said that he is like the new inzaghi, not a great technical player but a non stop runner and instinctive finisher in the box. Sad to see him go.

I think Jiminez, Jota and Cutrone is a superb squad for our front line. We have two keepers. We have options at wing back as Doherty and Jonny can both play either side. We have a degree of cover in defence but only if Vallejo lands running, and he is quite inexperienced. Saiss can cover Boly but we may need one more.

But to me we have no real options in midfield. Only cover and competition for Neves, Moutinho and Dendoncker are MGW and Saiss and they to me represent quite a drop in quality. Be good to get another top player into that area of the squad.

Edwards won’t come back, we have to look forwards.

Dani Olmo

Olmo does look quality but many seem unsure he would fit a Nuno system though I don't see why not. Warming to the Gedson Fernandes fella but still seems a big fee to me.

Press seem to be focusing on a Nuno quote that we will sign two more players, and one of those will be Cutrone. Growing views that Dias may be the other. So no midfield addition? Hopefully Nuno is really saying at least two

Would seem to me like he means two and not including Cutrone as he would have already known that Cutrone was joining.

I wouldn't be massively surprised if we did sign two more but that maybe Saiss were to head out.

Saiss is, most people would agree, not ever going to be a first 11 choice. He is, however, almost everyone's choice as a bench certainty. Wouldn't it be very foolish to ship him out before we are certain that he has been adequately replaced?

Certainly would.
If he is to go we need a better quality and as versatile a player.

Saiss tends to need a couple of games to drop in to his groove, but when he does I think he's a damned fine footballer. Not as silky smooth as Neves and Moutinho, but can definitely cover for Dendoncker.

Looks like he's going to Arsenal, but would be interesting to know if we really were serious about bringing in Khedira, What a bench option he would have been.

Rafa Mir joins Nottingham Forest on loan for the coming season who also have the option to buy next summer. His first game could be in the opening match against WBA. Worth a fiver?

Glad he's gone to Forest and not Blues. Hope he does well in the Championship as Forest have some decent players.

Bit surprised about the option to buy clause. Do we know that he's not, at some point, going to be good striker for us? Totally untried, surely.

A year in the Championship for a decent team would maybe tell us that, then decide if we want him back.

I think that’s a sink or swim loan for Mir and will determine if he can make it to the top level. Just what he needs really and I hope we can find something similar for Enobakhare.

As for Saiss I can’t see him getting many Premier League starts but I do think he adds value to the squad. Still think we probably haven’t seen him in his best position which I suspect is in the left centre back position where he plays for Morocco. But we won’t see him much there unless Boly got injured

Good to see that Matt Doherty is back on the training field. Missing much of pre season will be a handicap to him for a while though
