Inter got Ibra for less then that, Barca got Ronaldinho for little more then that, ....

IF I was head of Milan :) I would spent the day working and trying to improve Milan's squad. And Milan is no mid-table ... financial strugling team ...

We have got bad transfers in the past (now I begin to understand how many BAD transfer ...) I think it is the fault of our scouts !!!! I think Galliani havent the proper 'education' to judge players ... so he is probably guided by our scouts (most of whom needs to be fired:)) and they make wrong judgments.

Knowing this, I have to admit that Galliani in recent years has changed his tactics and now is more concentrated in getting established players !!!! BUT he is exgagerating(spelling) in this :)

I don't know what I would have done BUT I surly woudn't allow Zambrotta and Ibra to slip our fingers.

Saying that you wouldn't of allowed Ibra and Zambro to slip through our finger's and how exactly would you've done that?Juventus didn't wan't to deal with us especially after what went on with Calciopoli so we virtually had no hope of signing the two.

:thumbsup:



It should not be Milan 'wanting' to sign whom, but which player has the great honor and privilege to play for the REIGNING CHAMPION OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, and 7 times holder of the greatest club competitions in European Football. ;)

agreed, like ive stated before i will surprised if either one of Eto'o, Ronie, or Henry sign a milan contract.

sadly this is the truth, and i dont think spanish league conclusion will change much, i dont think the players that we are interested in, that are effected by the spanish league will want to leave.

hmmmmm...bring on SHEVA!

If you are anyone else in this forum had been head of Milan then I can pretty much guarantee that we would be struggling. would be buying hotshot players for overprices, buy players that don't fit in the plans of the coach and youth hotshots that would rot on the bench.

Not to forget you are wrong about us not being financially struggling, apart from 2006 we have made a deficit for pretty much every year. Selling shevchenko was what made the difference...

I already said, except for last year. Why are you talking about it?

Barca got Ronaldinho for "less than that"? We got Kaka for less less less less than that. Are you giving credit to the management for that? No.

Financially struggling team? Yeah, we are not. Thats why we spent so much money on Gilardino.

Poor scouts? Now thats way overboard. Take note that Leonardo, Cesare Maldini and Marcel Desailly are part of the scouting team. And I dont think unknowns like Gourcuff, Kaka, Bonera, Tomasson, Vogel or Dhorasoo were bad signings.

Milan had absolutely no transfer power last season. Yes, even you would not have been able to stop Zlatan or Zambro from joining different teams.

I didn't said all the scouts were bad, especially the one that discoverd Kaka (Leonardo I think) ... But the others were all well known players ... even Kaka was well known in Brazil ...

MY point is that our scouts don't know how to find young promising talents ... They found Grimi, he hasn't played much but he doesn't look very promising.

Last year during the calciopoli I realised how small of a club from managerial aspect we are ... we have only Galliani and Braida ... we didn't have any scenarios after the verdicts ... how to deal with neceseties (spelling)...

You forgat that Milan is owned by S. Berlusconi ... one of the richest man in the world !!!!
RM, Barca, Chelsea ... they are all in deficit but when they need a player they buy ...

I don't want us to buy 10 players every year BUT only in those areas where we need ... and buy quality not quantity.

Finances certainly dont matter (to Berlusconi). It was nice we got a big sum for Sheva from Chelsea, but ultimately we're not Juve and balancing the books or anything else like that is not a big priority.

Right, in terms of Milan buying young talents....

I think it was Johan who said in relation to Milan and youth players that if they dont play they're not good enough for Milan. Therefore we dont need them. This is very true. AC Milan 1899, we have brought in young players that can genuinly add something to our side. We cannot expect several promising teens to join every season that can break into the first 11. We bought Gourcuff for a nice price (which was a gem of a signing IMO).

Milan get a lot of remarks about the "old" age of our squad, but it's all bullshit. Older players are more experienced, can integrate better than younger ones and there's no issue about affecting their development if they're on the bench often.

I'm not having a go at anyone but all because we're a big club it doesnt mean every single signing we make should be a huge name like Ronaldinho or Henry, or some talented (and hyped) youngster. On face value the Pancaro's and Emerson's of this world arent the most appealing signings, but it works very well.

Youth is very important but experience is also so this is why we need a great deal of balance.I understand the frustration of fan's when we sign a Favalli for e.g,and especially if the Ba deal for e.g comes true.But signing someone like Emerson when you come to think about it is'nt no way a bad deal at all.

He has a great deal of experience in Italy,as well in Europe and being with his fellow countrymen surely would make his settling in period alot easier.

You got me wrong !!! I didn't said we need to sign 10 youngsters per season ... I even didn't said we need to sign youngsters at all ...

I think we should have a better transfer policy (and better scouts) ... thats all.

They are great, but we are not alone in this football world and we can't buy everyone.

It's not a case of signing everyone, but to sign someone who reflects Milan's standing in World Football, not the dire players who have arrived recently, that are more in line with Serie B teams,. and the like.

You can go on about the Kaka's and Pirlo's in our team, but there is too many below average players wearing our jersey, and our it seems the management want to continue that way by resigning forgotten players who failed, and other clubs unwanted players. Every other major club goes aggressively for their targets whilst we wait for leftovers.

Thats what I'm saying.

We need 11 world class players - 11 eleven - and 7-8 avarage (not below avarage) reserves.

At the moment IMO we don't have (or isn't anymore) world class players in the positions: GK, LB, CF and maybe LM.

Nonsense :stuckup:. The proof is in the results. Milan has been the most successfull team in Europe during the last 20 years. You don't get there with a bad tranfers policy and poor scouts.

Sure we've signed some duds, but what is important is the ratio between those who work out and those who don't. Ours is fantastic compared to say Inter.:)

But not in the last few years though. The club have become a bunch of penny pinchers, and when they have spent money it's been on jokes - Oliviera eg. I mean Grimi, Favalli, Borreillo returning. These are not the signings that have made us no1, these are the ones that have allowed other teams to catch us, and overtake us in the transfer market.

Who gives a damn, we are owned by Berlusconi. It's his ****ing choice if he wants to run us as a business or not, it's not like he really needs the extra money from the club to add to his billions. Even if he tries to make an impression that he's a good businessman and wants Milan to make a profit, there's no point to fool anyone: we can't be financially struggling as long as we are owned by him and we don't have to count money when it comes to transfers. The wellbeing of the club affects his status too and he's a man with a big ego.
