Of course SES will be a Milan player in January.

Unless we reach a stage where he wishes out, or his form drops, I don't think much will change.

Yeah, agreed. He'll stay with us. If we sell him, that means we're even worse then Parma and have absolutely no development strategy.

Oh my God...

Claims are based on the club's financials and the club's compliance with FFP.

READ my post and tell me where I denied such claims?


However. if it is your belief that B&G want to sell our stars to piss off the fans, then that is your right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Now read it again and tell me where I stated I hold such belief? And then do most of us a favor and wipe that smirk off your smug face.


My point remains, it was not the players who pushed for the move because of money or any other matter in fact. It was rather the club that pushed them out for various reasons. And yes, balancing the books was the main reason, but that's besides my point.

FFP is still as BS a notion as it was before. Berlusconi's support has been dwindling for a while now. These are facts of life. FFP is just a very good excuse for Galliani to use. However Silvio has been pulling away from the club for a while now, especially in terms of monetary support. He was doing the bare minimum by covering the losses and not much else.

Why so serious? Do we need to make insults really?

No we will just become like most clubs these days a feeder team.

I don't think so. We're too big for that. If this really is what lies ahead, I'm positive that someone will buy us out.

I'm sure someone in the future will if its true about Berlusconi and such. We would only become a feeder club if we sold fresh new talent which we have not done selling TS and Ibra was just whole sale.

You know it's hard for me to repeat the whole thing over and over again. I spent a couple of days doing research on FFP and Milan, before I took it seriously. But I did do a lot of homework and now I take it very seriously.

You raise the same 'reasons' as to why you think FFP is nonsense. Bringing up Madrid, Barca, Chelsea etc. without realising that we're not even in the same ballpark as those marketting phenomenons. The only reason we still competed with them, was because of Silvio's 'dwindling' influence not despite it.

Let me put it into perspective... our precious Milan??! It earns less commercial revenue than Borussia fuckin Dortmund. And we are the number one commercial revenue earning team in Italy. Will at least this tidbit convince you of how f@cked Italian football is?

I don't argue with kurtsimonw much, when he says FFP is fundamentally flawed. He has his reasons, and while I disagree it, we are disagreeing more on an ideological level. When you say FFP is BS though, that's crazy.

It's a bit like saying, I shall continue to rob and steal and kill, because capital punishment is a brand new law in my country that hasn't been implemented yet. So until it is, I refuse to believe that a written decree means anything.

FFP is very real. Look at inter right now, they're forced to get rid of sneijder and co. because they're so deep in debt.

This is why i want Milan to get more raw talent , we have to start acting like most of the other Serie A clubs and European clubs have been acting in the transfer market for a while now bringing in raw talent and giving them a chance ofc mixing them with experience. After seeing SES blossom this season its rejuvenated my faith in the younger generation, giving players like SES and co the breathing room they need to expand there game. As i said most Serie A clubs have been doing this for a while in other formulas and have had great success. This does not mean we will become a feeder club to the other big clubs like Barca , Man City, Real ect ect we just won't be spending stupid amounts of money to bring in ready made talent. I mean seeing Merkal leave genoa made me cringe we kind of need a player like that atm.

Not exactly the same. We're all delighted with SES, but lest we forget, he's not some primavera like De Sciglio. By Italian standards we paid top dollar for the kid. Close to 15 million Euros for a 19 year old.

Tbh..I'm more excited with De Sciglio. Now that's showing genuine youth coming through.

El Sha to De S: "Niang is only 17, I'm 20 and we have Mastour, what an awesome attack we're gonna have! And for the defence we have you!"
