Lol, I'm sure you'll be laughing your @ss off if we don't get into the CL.

We still made a 6m loss after selling Silva and Ibra for huge profits and were in the CL...

What will happen next year if we don't have CL money and we don't really have anyone to sell for huge profits now either...

Yeah. This is a serious laughing matter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

and yet apparently we have a great team. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Compared to the rest of the league? Yes it's pretty much only second to Juve right now.

Technically speaking we can sell Abate, Balo, SES, Prince, Monto for very good cash to the right buyers. It's not like Juve have any big money makers in their squad either.

That's the thing, Serie A doesn't have any big stars right now aside from Cavani and Balo and Cavani is already gone come summer.

When I say huge profits I mean the Kaka, Sheva, Silva, Ibra type profits. There is no one in the league within that margin aside from Cavani right now imo and like I said, he's pretty much sold already

We can't Abate, Zenit are known for overpaying and didn't they only ofer e10m? That doesn't buy you a whole lot nowadays - unless you're dealing with a moron owner.

Just out of curiosity, what would you value Montolivo at?

Wasn't it 15m for Abate?

I think that's very good money for a FB.

Monto right now for me is wroth 20m. He's been top class this season and he's 28 so it's still a decent age bracket imo. Considering Napoli would want a ridiculous 50m for Hamsik then Monto should be worth 20m easily

How much did Liverpool pay to get Aquilani?

£20m?

€ most probably. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Not many would pay in £ for a player like him just about to touch 30.

Yeah, surely.

Yup, and considering Montolivo isn't even a flashy name to begin with. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) A certain player named Pirlo could have justified a price tag upwards of £20m had he left to Chelsea or any other EPL club three or four years back. When Carlo was in charge at the London club.

Montolivo is just not that big of a name, and in fact, we'd be lucky to get even a €20 million offer this year or the next for him. Not that I think we have any intention of selling him, all signs point to him retiring with Milan.

Yeah, I meant in Euros.

Still with the numbers being thrown around these days anything less than that would not be good enough.

Also, I think you're underestimating Monto's pulling power acid, he's really garnered a much wider fan base along the course of this season and last summer during the Euros where he was one of Italy's best performers.

The English commentators were wetting themselves everytime he touched the ball during the first leg against Barca. I distinctly remember this because I found it so funny that English commentators were praising an Italian player, somethins that they rarely do

I know, man. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) But there still is a long road for him to travel before he can be labeled with the very best. Maybe we win a CL in the next couple of years, with him being a central figure. Then yeah, he can be a classified as a maestro for the next 4-5 years he plays.

Montolivo has vision and creativity, not oodles and oodles of them, but he can make do better than most.

I'm not putting him in any bracket where he can be considered as one of the best. I think you misunderstood me there. I just think that he's really grown into his own over this season with both Italy and Milan. So I think he can easily command that type of fee considering the ridiculous money being thrown around these days

I still don't understand what R7 found funny in my post.

Dude your interpretation is wrong - we didn't make a 6m loss after selling Silva and Ibra for huge profits and being in the CL.

I wont be laughing at Milan if we don't make the CL, I'll be cheering on my team as always (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

As for your last comment, what will happen? Enlighten me with your assumptions.





Funny that you condemn Galliani and Berlusconi, yet call the initial result of their work in a long-term project 'not bad'.

Eh, if you paid more attention to my posts you would have realized that I've embraced this financial restructuring of ours in light of FFP for some time now. What I don't agree with are the choices Galliani and co. make in terms of players and coach.
