It's true, it's true.....
Yes, Milan are making the right decision not to buy all and sundry and spend millions in the process. However, where I think the fans' expectations came from was the constant media reports linking us to players like Figo, Rivaldo etc etc. It doesnt help because if we dont sign them, it looks like the club is being tight with the cash. Also, the management havent helped themselves by coming out with conflicting statements about how many players we needed and if we were good enough etc etc. On the whole, I think Milan will be fine, we may not look like world beaters and superstars, but that is what makes winning all the more fun, whats so fun about winning when everyone knows you will? There are still a few areas that need cleaning up and I think we are doing that quietly, i.e Ganz to Atalanta, N'Gotty to Marseille, Orlandini to Brescia.
By October I think we will have around 26 players which mostly will be good ones and mostly ones that have a long football future ahead. Next year is really the difnitive one because Costacurta will definitely hang up his boots, Maldini will play less, Boban (sob sob) and Leo (sob sob) will leave so there will be players that have to take on a lot of responsibilty in this squad. If Albertini could carry good form throughout a season it would be him but right now, there is no-one in the frame and hopefully this season throws up a real leader among the youngsters.
ilTAZZ, I feel for you at Inter. Yes, you buy a lot of stars, and for the thrill-seeking, glory-hunting fan, it must be great, but for those who know where the youngsters are on loan and care about things like team spirit, it must be a nightmare. One thing I am really curious to see is how the Seedorf-Pirlo positional thing is sorted out. I cant see them playing in the same team, somethings got to give. By the way, many thanks for Taribo West, love the guy....
