It just hit me...one week ago today I was so upset and angry with AC Milan that I was preparing to write a nasty email to the general address, to let them think of what I thought of their transfer BS....and 24 hours later I was in a state of sheer euphoria. Now it's a wweek later, and I am STILL having to remind myself that the dream is reality, Rui Costa will be wearing a Milan jersey next season...and it's ONE WEEK away from training camp opening!
I don't know about you all, but I feel like I've been thru a wringer this transfer season. the rumors flew hot and heavy since February or March it seems, and I remember we kept sayiong that things would get better when the season ended. Things didn't get better; instead I think it got much, much worse with rumors (or was some of it actual news reporting on what was actually going on?) changing hourly in some cases. So the comparison that just struck me was that I feel like I've been on a rollercoaster ride, much the same feeling I had when I left the movie theatre the first time I saw The Mummy Returns. Like I'd been thru a whirlwind, had been holding my breath sceaming "please please please!" and all of a sudden it turned out OK. And yes, I mean it, I still am reminding myself we landed Rui Costa.
So next Monday we should hopefully be hearing and seeing some reports from camp, maybe seeing some clips of the squad on the field. I was thinking too...last Monday and before then, I wasn't very excited about the new season....now, I can hardly wait to see our gladiators out there, conquering the league! I have a real good and positive feeling about this squad, maybe just one or 2 nagging concerns but we'll see how things go once the season gets under way. I feel we'll be a challenging team next season, top 4 or better. Call that an early prediction if you want, I usually call things better in August. I will say this, I think the league is going to have to take some notice of us this coming year...
