08:30 CET – Welcome to SempreMilan’s liveblog! Throughout the day, we will update this article with the latest AC Milan news, adding links to our articles, as well as tweets and so on.
Very good Sempremilan, I love you guys.
Would have wished for Deulofeou, but if we end up getting Carassco, still a good one.
I see us winning the Coppa Italia this season, thanks Atalanta for the Juventus showing, I guess Dzeko’s red card nullifies him for Sunday’s game?
Meanwhile, saw Higuain’s performance last night, anybody?
Lol… #ThanksChelsea!
