Here's a list of things that, in my opinion, Milan should do in order to be successful next season. And not successful by just making the Champions League, but by competing for the Scudetto and European glory.
1. Fire Allegri
Count Max Allegri must go, but that doesn't mean Seedorf should come in either. Tactically, Allegri doesn't know what he's doing and Seedorf is just too inexperienced to be managing a club like Milan. Also, great players almost never turn out to be good coaches. Honestly, I don't know who I'd want to be Milan's coach, maybe Donadoni or Spalletti.
2. Sign Marco Verratti
Milan need big improvement in the midfield. Montolivo and Boateng work fine, but Muntari, Nocerino and Flamini got to go. A 3-man midfield of Verratti, Montolivo and Boateng could be extremely effective.
3. Sign Ogbonna
I know the Zapata-Mexes combo in a the back wasn't terrible, but it's not going to get us any trophies any time soon. They were absolutely awful when it came to cover aerial attacks considering how many headed goals were scored on Milan this season.
4. Sign Mattia Perin
I love Abbiati, but his time is done. He had a great career, but it's time to install more youth and Perin is an extremely intriguing keeper who I think can be a wonderful replacement for Buffon on the national team.
5. Sell Robinho and sign another winger
Getting rid of Robinho would leave room for Niang to improve, but just incase he doesn't become what we all think he can be, Milan should sign another winger. This shouldn't be some guy we never heard of either, it should be a big name and someone who could work well with Balotelli.
6. Sell Abate
He is the worst crosser in the world. Other than his incredible speed, he's pretty much useless. Not very good at defending or marking. Milan need to sign a new full back, but I'm not sure who's out there that would be an upgrade from Abate. Possibly Criscito?
7. Sign Balotelli and El Shaarawy to 25,000 year contracts
I absolutely love Balotelli and Stephen and I never, ever want to see them leave Milan for the rest of their careers. Milan must do whatever it takes to keep them happy and make them want to stay here.
