Bacca, Luiz Adriano and Bertolacci already in at Milan and Montoya, Kondogbia and Miranda at Inter.
Not quite the household names that both clubs have had in yesteryear but a major shift in transfer policy from them both and big steps forward - they should be a lot better next season.

He's moving to an average team in an inferior league and giving up Champions League football in the process. I realise they're still a big club but that still strikes me as odd. I hope he's being paid a lot because that would explain it but Milan haven't exactly splashed out the cash over the last few years.
I'm pretty surprised nobody else has tried to sign him either.

And Milan are a much bigger club than Sevilla, CL or not.

And? Since when is that the deciding factor in what club a player joins? They tend to be more interested in wages and the potential for success.
It does makes sense if they're actually spending money, I've got so used to Silvio being stingy I hadn't really considered that as a possibility.
Going from 10th to 2nd/3rd would be pretty impressive tbh. It'll be interesting to see who else they bring in, maybe they'll finally get rid of Philippe Mexès and bring in an actual good centre-back.
Franck
There's a much greater potential for long-term success at Milan than there is at Sevilla. Milan is a club that has potential to win the CL, Sevilla will never even win the league.
Bacca turns 29 in two months, so this was probably his last opportunity to sign for a big club. Milan makes as much sense as the other clubs he was liked with.

It's not a team that has the potential to win the CL though, certainly not within the time he'll be there given that he is, as you say, almost 29. He's not exactly a long-term signing and as it's probably his last big contract, it's a slightly odd choice unless he's being given a bid wedge of cash (in which case it's entirely understandable).
Franck
If the transfer speculation was anything to go by, his options were Milan, Inter, Roma and Liverpool. Milan is as good an option as any of those.
And I think Milan could be a CL contender within 3 seasons with some investment and the right man on the bench.

They've also got Kondogbia coming in too.

Not without their own turmoil though. They did well to appoint Ranieri upon promotion, given he was a proven manner that was able to get the club back towards the top. Even though he didn't last his second season, his appointment was important. Then there was a bit of chopping and changing with managers in Ciro Ferrara, Zaccheroni and Delneri, before some big changes were had in the back room, which allowed Conte to come in. Once he joined and Juve relocated stadiums, things clicked.
Milan just haven't learnt. They've held onto a lot of players who've not been good enough. They've purchased poorly and appointed managers that simply haven't fit the mould of what has been required. Honestly, all the clubs such as Inter, Roma and AC Milan should have all been in better positions after Juve were demoted but none have really grasped the chance they had fully.
Franck
One would think Alex will be gone before the summer is over as well.
I don't think Mihajlović has what it takes to be a manager at a big club though. That's my big concern with Milan this season.

Yeah, the other options aren't great.
There's no way in hell they will be a 'contender' for the CL within 3 seasons.
Franck
You would have said the same about Dortmund in 2010 or Atletico in 2012.
Things can change quickly in football, especially given how weak the competition behind Juventus is right now.

In 15 years time, no-one apart from United fans will (barely) remember him. Weird.
Jonas
Can't blame them for leaving though. I would too.
A bit like van Nistelrooy then. Is it just me or does it feel like he's among those forgotten ones at times?
Sam
Don't worry, I'll be there to remind you he left Arsenal to win the title with us.

At least we can reminisce that Moyes happened as well.

Montoya - Miranda - Juan Jesus - Santon
Kondogbia - Medel
Kovacic - Hernanes - Guarin
Icardi
Don't know any wide players so shoved Guarin in. That's not a bad team whatsoever.
