It's mostly an expectation with this Club. It's basically a broken record of events every summer.

We've seen this in the past with Kaka and Sheva. Now we're about to see it with Ibra and Thiago.

I'm not that sure - there's a big difference you choose to forget. When we sold Kaka and Shevchenko we cashed in, while the buyer lost because both were heading down. Thiago still is hungry with us and he still hasn't reached his peak. That's why he'll stay.

I truely believe this club has a good structure all around. However, the political and economical system in Italy is forcing us into selling. The following factors, imo, contribute to it:
- taxes
- government ownership of stadiums
- tv rights distribution
- international coverage
- local economy hurts season ticket sales
- amongst others ..

Inevitably, we also have to endure the fact that the EPL and Bundesliga have far surpassed us in all counts stated above, and more.

That has put us at a disadvantage, we can't provide what those two leagues can in monetary value. Our main catch is the 'Milan Family' cushion. Which, in terms of bringing in the top crop of football doesn't hold its weight.


That being said, and as much as Shevchenko's departure hurt .. We have always been taken care of. Sure we dont dominate as Barcelona and are not as well equipt as Madrid, but we can tussle with Europe's best. And the bookies don't think otherwise in that regard. Hence, Kaka leaves we get Ronaldinho, he leaves we get Ibra. Pato leaves we get Tevez.

That last part was meant as a joke

I think the top Italian clubs get more than the top English clubs. Since Serie A's is more like the La Liga system, rather than the sharing it out like the EPL.

According to this anyway:

That system has changed. Rights are collectively sold in Italy these days

Mancini's trip to Via Turati was apparently to inquire about Silva.

Thiago Silva: 'Milan need to spend'
By Football Italia staff

Thiago Silva has joined Zlatan Ibrahimovic in demanding new signings. “To win, Milan need quality reinforcements.”

Ibra raised eyebrows this week on international duty in Sweden when he stated the Rossoneri had “no money” to buy the five top players they need this summer.

Riccardo Montolivo and Bakaye Traoré have arrived, but they were free transfers from Fiorentina and Nancy.

“Ibra and I want the same thing, which is for Milan to win,” the Brazilian told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“This season it was so-so, therefore to win we need quality reinforcements...”

However, the defender linked with Manchester City and Barcelona has shot down transfer rumours.

“This club is my home. I feel great and have been embraced here. Adriano Galliani said it clearly: ‘You are not for sale, you’re not leaving here.’

“I was pleased to have it confirmed that I am fundamental for this team. I want to stay here and I dream of becoming a ‘bandiera’ for the club like Alessandro Nesta was. I don’t see where the problem is...

“Before going on international duty with Brazil, I spoke to Galliani. He made me feel important and told me to relax on my future. I am perfectly relaxed.

“Could I become captain one day? It would be fantastic and I’d be ready for that.”

Thiago Silva missed the last two months of the season due to muscular problems, but has recovered and played in a friendly against Denmark.

“I am in good shape and played well. I couldn’t wait to get back on to the field. The injury was my fault, as the Coach and fitness staff did not rush my recovery. I wanted to play against Roma at all costs, despite the fact I was not in the best condition, and I hurt myself badly.

“Going back, I would not make the same decision and maybe our season might’ve been different.”

Many look to losing Thiago Silva as the key moment in Milan’s season, as they were without their star defender in the Champions League quarter-final with Barcelona and the closing stages of the Scudetto race.

“To say I have regrets is an understatement. I am still furious at how things went and ask myself how it was possible to lose a Scudetto that way. We had a four-point advantage and finished up four points behind Juventus.

“We’ll make up for it next season. Right now I want to win the Olympics with Brazil, then the Champions League would be the ultimate.”

Milan legend Franco Baresi has identified Thiago Silva as his natural successor in the Milan defence.

Baresi, who was voted the Rossoneri’s Player of the Century in 1999, spent his entire 20-year playing career with the San Siro outfit as an influential member of their defence.

With Alessandro Nesta having left Milan this summer, Baresi has talked up Silva’s chances of being the next in line to take a leading role as both he and Nesta once did for the club.

“I hope he is my heir,” began Baresi to Folha de Sao Paulo. “I would like him to stay at Milan for several years. He’s a player who has proven he has great qualities and that he is important for the future of Milan.

“It’s difficult to identify where he can still improve. He has already proven to have everything.”

Thiago Silva has officially extended his contract till June 30th 2017. His new contract puts him on 6 million a season. So now only Ibra earns more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well...it seems fair. 6 million was the most I would have given actually.
