Berlusconi Will Not Spend Huge Amounts For Milan Anymore - Sacchi


The sale of Kaka to Real Madrid reportedly balanced the books for AC Milan and former coach of the club, Arrigo Sacchi, believes that president Silvio Berlusconi will no longer invest as heavily as he did in the past.

"[Carlo] Ancelotti and Kaka are two major losses, but necessary ones," the ex-Real Madrid director said in an interview with Sportitalia.

"Berlusconi is no longer willing to shell out mass money for Milan, the club must move forward on their own accord. In the past, Milan was a leader in innovation and expertise, now they have bought few players that have been below par."

Meanwhile, he was asked who else he thought could leave the Rossoneri this summer, but gave no definite answers.

"[Andrea] Pirlo maybe, but I think [Gennaro] Gattuso will remain."

On the other side of the coin, Milan have reportedly agreed a pre-contract with Edin Dzeko and are now attempting to negotiate an acceptable deal with his club, German champions Wolfsburg.


Why some people still want this ***** to be our president, I have no clue... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)


The day he leaves I will pop out champaigne and celebrate. He has disgraced milan's name far too much now. We go from greatest club in the world to a soul less money hungry mid table club.

In an interview with Italian TV station Sportitalia, football journalist, transfer market insider and former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi said today : "AC Milan have turned the page. Their owner Silvio Berlusconi is no longer willing to invest his own money in the club. Therefore, the club's new policy is to sell their players to keep going. In this regard, I believe that Andrea Pirlo will be sold to the highest bidder".

As recently reported, Chelsea are leading the chase to sign Andrea Pirlo upon coach Carlo Ancelotti's advice. However, other top clubs could begin tracking the Italian international soon.


I agree with him, I think Pirlo is going to leave.

I have nothing against Berlusconi really, except the fact that he doesn't invest in the club as much as he once did.
What ever the reason behind this may be, I do not know...the recession; change of tactics in his management & ownership of the club; diminished interest [a combination]

I just can not understand why some people try to be blind to the entire situation. Its been there plain in sight for us all to see for some time now. No one is trying to down play any of what Berlusconi has done for this club, heck he has in fact brought it to what it has become today [From near bankruptcy to pure Greatness] - No one is denying that.
And as great as our history is, no one can deny either the fact that if the club was invested in slightly differently in recent years we may have been in an even better situation now. FACT!

Even Arrigo Sacchi has now said something along those lines, maybe now some people would realize and agree.
[because after all, he was one of our past coaches that contributed to Milan great history]

If we're going for a direct Kaka replacement, then there's only one player available that can be that, and that's Cassano. Cassano has just had an incredible season, he's just hitting his peak. Right now I'd rate him up there with Ribery and I honostly think that he's even better than Kaka right now (because of Kaka's injruy's mostly). The thing is that he might be to much of a risk because of his personality.

Also, I don't think that we're are even looking for a direct replacement for Kaka. After the sale of Kaka and the retirement of Maldini, Ronaldinho is by far the player with the biggest commerical appeal at Milan. The thing is that a club like Milan needs a front figure, someone who can bring in the fans and be the face of the club. Ronaldinho is one of the most well known figures in football, and if he can once again, become a great player, then we will have made a great deal, a much great deal than if we bring in Cassano who will never have the commercial appeal of Ronaldinho.

I believe Galliani had dismissed the Cassano rumors.
Hope it's just usual lies though, I would like for management to take a gamble on Cassano. With the right guidance he can become even greater, and respected. I wish he grows as a player and a man in the future where ever his future lies. He is so talented.

Well according to reports [if they are in fact to be believed] it was that particular game in which we noticed him.

Gennaro Gattuso Approves Milan’s Attempt To Sign Edin Dzeko From Wolfsburg

Milan and Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has given a thumbs up to the possible purchase of Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.

Gattuso believes that Dzeko is a type of player who the Rossoneri need, following the departure of Kaka to Real Madrid earlier in the week.

"Dzeko is an important player who we would need for the qualities he has," explained the Milan veteran player to Calciomercato.com.

"He's a strong player, just like [Milan striker Marco] Borriello, even though at Wolfsburg he played on the wing."

Recently it has been speculated that Paolo Maldini could join Chelsea as Carlo Ancelotti's assistant coach, something which Gattuso finds hard to believe.

"Knowing Maldini, I think it's very difficult that he will leave Milan," he continued. "I really don't see him doing that."

The Rossoneri are expected to remain in the transfer market headlines in the coming weeks as they continue trying to strengthenthe squad following Kaka's exit.

I also just read the news regarding the news that Borriello could help in bringing in Dzeko.
I would rather if we keep Boriello and brought Dzeko as well.
But I guess we'd just have to wait and see how things play out.

They are not sure why he's in Paris, they're speculating that it's either for Pirlo (making a deal with Chelsea) or Dzeko and Cissokho. Let's wait and see I hope it's the latter of the 2 options, selling Pirlo now would be beyond ridiculous. After selling our best player we're going to sell the player we rely on the most??? It's f*** unbelievable. What the hell are the management trying to do??? Sink Milan fast then the Titanic? Because this is beyond pushing it.

Regarding the Boriello/Dzeko swap. I would be all for it. Boriello, just like I thought was a waste of money. He's injured 99% of the time, we don't even know if he's good enough to rely on. So I say we try to hand over that problem to Wolfsburg and get Dzeko for a cheaper price. We'd still need another striker though, we'd basically be left with Pato and Dzeko if this goes through. Our options would be Tevez/Benzema/Cassano. All great options

tevez and benzema will be out of question and if after this we will look for a stiker then i am certain it will be someone like toni, trezguet although what i would love to have will be cassano or G.rossi

G.Rossi... Forget about him. He'd also be a great option. We'll see but Pato, Dzeko and Pippo are definately not enough. Pippo will again be out for 3/4 of the season, we cannot cosider him as a regular
