Galliani is doing a job. He's an EMPLOYEE. He's nto the one with money or the one withholding money from investments.

That would be Silvio Berlusconi. If you have a problem with the club, take it up with him.

Thank you. People forget that sometimes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

We lost Ibra to Inter for reasons already discussed before. He wouldn't come without CL..and calciopoli was going on then.

Suazo was a done deal. You can't help it if the player says no. He got f@cked though didn't he. Assh0le..serves him right!

Lloris...oh well. When you don't have money, you can't do anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Cissokho? 15 million? Hmm...I'll see him at Lyon for 2 more seasons before I judge.

We lost a lot more than just the one you mentioned. Some additional which I can recall at this time are: De Silvestri to Fiorentina, Henry to Barcelona, Amauri to Juventus.

Now while I didn't want them all. I agree Galliani should learn to keep his mouth quite instead of just exciting the public for no reason. And making us look either poor or cheap.

I think bringing a coach is money that could be spent elsewhere, like in actually signing players. Leo has proven himself to be a pretty good coach: with a squad, he could go on to prove himself a great one.

Why don't you judge what whoarethepatriots said, Zambrotta's signing for 8m pounds?


I'm glad we did not sign Henry and even happier we did not sign Amauri!


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Agree with your second point, kinda. At that point when Henry was available, he would have been useless. Amauri, I don't know. He's kinda the Borriello type. But not for that price, I think.


Zambrotta's been a decent signing I feel. As far as fullbacks go, I rate him about as highly as I rate Abidal. In 2006 WC, he was great. One or was it two bad seasons in Barca, followed by Milan.

His wages are high. But otherwise, he has been a good if not spectacular signing. And drop it with the he was so old he was doomed to fail. If we'd thought that way, Cafu would never have happened.

Tbf, I don't think our style suits Zambrotta's style of wingplay to a T. He's not an express up and down type, more of a wily customer who jinks in and out. Defensively he's been great too. And offensively he's been consistent.

As for Cissokho..well I reckon we didn't lose much. The LB position is not the reason we're getting screwed. And would I have spent 15 million for Cissokho knowing what I do now about Antonini.. I don't think I would. So that worked out well I think.


If you must bash the management over a bad deal..then here is it like a poster pointed out. Knowing Carlo and Kaka were leaving, and still not putting enough pressure on Yoann to stay. What would it have taken? Some more money as wages, maybe a guarantee of matches and perhaps some preferential deals for Bordeaux. If I'd know this was gonna happen, no chance I would have sanctioned the Gourcuff sale. We're paying for that one I think.

It's not entirely like that cause it's football not mathematics. with a good, athletic LB like Cissokho we most probably would have done better in many games. it's about how one player can affect the whole team's performance - not just the position he plays in.

And what do you know about Antonini now? after seeing him this season I'm even more convinced that, while a decent backup, he's not Milan XI quality.

I think that mythical 'Milan XI' quality belongs to a bygone era. The sooner we can move on, the better. Let's not turn into Torino still talking about what could have been if not for Superga.

This is the new Milan. No big money, no big flair. We need to live with what we've got as best as we can. If we don't like it, if we insist on big money outlays and big rebuildings, we must look elsewhere.

I disagree. Is he stellar? No. Is he solid and improving? Yes. And he gives 100% every time he steps out on that pitch, which is more than I think some other players give.

I disagree as well, given he keeps improving, Antonini is a proven first XI player in my book.

Not sure where to put this b/c I don't think we have a coaching transfers section, but Tassoti was tipped again to become head coach by goal.com today

Our forward line is preety good tbf keeping pato,borrielo and inzaghi is a must and it would be nice to bring paloschi back but im not too sure on huntelaar would be a gamble keeping him he does show some class at times e.g two goals against catania an that Belter of a shot just this last week are there any good alternatives ?

the problem quiet clearly lies in defence as a blind man can see

He's got a great shot on him. It's the rest of his movement that is hopelessly unsuited. At Ajax, there was Suarez to do all that running. Here we don't have the players to suit his style yet.
