Milan channel confirm we won't sign any of the following:

Blerim Dzemaili, Samuel Eto’o, Radamel Falcao, Adrien Rabiot and Maxime Lestienne.


Good.

Di Marzio saying that Lestienne could be a few hours away from done, I'd prefer him on loan than wasting big money on Cerci tbh

Milan channel also saying that we're evaluating CFs and they've been very specific about a midfielder "of quality" from outside Italy is also a target. That's what's really getting me excited atm, I don't really care about the striker or the winger as long as we don't spend huge money



Torres or Borini... which one deserves the biggest facepalm? And a possible dry loan of a Chelsea youngster just leaves a terribly bad taste in my mouth, we've basically been reduced to a feeder club nowadays. That better have an option to buy with it. Because if not, I'd prefer fricken Dzemaili (although I do think we should still get him no matter who else comes in, he'd bring good depth as opposed to someone like Muntari)

Milan Channe also reports that Milan probably will sign Torres or Borini. Van Ginkel is also likely to be signed on loan.

So be ready for Matri 2.0 with a much higher salary.

Anything above 2m for Torres would be stupid, he's been Terrible for 3 years running now

We'll probably take him on loan but he earns €8m there.

Yeah, I meant any wage above 2m per year for Torres would be a mistake

It would be a mistake either way. Just another useless has-been.

Yeah, but we could all see us signing him after selling Balo was coming from a mile away

It's a typical move. older player who we wanted when he was younger and at his best, but never could shell out the cash for him then, his club doesn't want him, and we will most likely either get him on loan or a miniscule amount of cash because Chelsea would rather sell him for basically nothing than continue to pay his exhorbitant wages while he sits on their bench

What I'm actually curious about is where did all the money go, we could actually end this summer with only 4.5m spent in total on Rami. Nothing else was spent aside from some meagre sum to get Albertazzi's full rights back and I can't imagine it was anything above €750,000, if even that.

We've sold Mario for 20m, sold Constant for 2.5m, sold Paloschi's remainng 50% for 3.5m and also Kingsley Boateng for 1.5m.

That's 27.5m income on just sales, if we also count the amount of money that's been saved on wages also that number jumps up by quite a lot as well.

Kaka, Balo and Robinho alone cost us 22m last season. And this not counting Matri (we're only paying a very little amount of his wages something like 0.9m), Nocerino, Urby, Amelia, Constant, Silvestre and Birsa, who were all earning from 2 to 4m even above that before taxes

Luckily, according to sky, Torres doesn't want to leave on loan - he wants a 3-year deal.

If we sign Torres it'll be the biggest facepalm in Milan history. A completely depleted, worn-out ex-player that has been warming the bench at Chelsea for over three years. What in the world is Galliani even thinking? How can Torres be of any use to us? Might as well promote some youngster from the Primavera at this point.

I can't believe this signing campaign. After finishing 8th, you would expect some form of reaction from the club. Nada! It's the same business as usual: players being sold on one hand, free agents and rejects coming in on the other. Zero strategy, zero planning, zero ambitions. We haven't spend jackshit, whereas other clubs spend €15-20 million on each player. Absolutely mind-boggling...

Yup.

Names we are linked with these days are rather depressing (Torres, really?). I keep hoping it is just "mis-direction" and we actually have something in the works, but I fear it is just wishful thinking on my part.

The way I see it, our decisions are rather "reactive" (no planning, last minute decisions, not always rational), we go for what looks like the "easy fix" (which often results in a long term issue), we have lost any scouting ability we ever had (so we do not even try to look for players that have potential), and our "youth policy" is just a phrase that gets used by B&G (AFAIAC, there is no real substance behind it).

Would love to be proven wrong, but at this point it will take facts, not words.

True, and if it is really true that they were working on selling Balo since May, it makes Galliani look like a bigger tool and idiot that he's about to press the usual panic button so he can replace Balo

Not excited one bit about the transfer market, I'm more excited about Inzaghi kicking off the season.

Don't think there is much to look forward to, a player will arrive that is for sure and could be one to excite people, but as I said, I am genuinly more excited qbout Inzaghi than the new incoming player.

Last season I did not renew my subscription for Serie A, planning on getting it renewed for this season tomorrow. Club needs the income and though its 'meager' in han's terms, yet I believe we should all have a proactive role in trying to directly support the club as oppossed to indirectly. If the greater fans chip in, each to his own discretion be that merchandise, tv or season ticket. Best time to help the team is when it needs this kind of legitimate income the most.

I'm sorry, but right now this management does not deserve our support no matter how meagre it is.

If Galliani signs Torres on some ridiculous wage and then fails to address the bigger issues in the squad, the support will dwindle even more.

I won't be paying a cent towards the club until I see at least some sort of ambition from the management, I'm not talking spending 40m on a player, but at least something that shows a clear plan anything to know that they're not totally fed up with this club and are just going through the motions to not spend any money while continuing to make this once great club look ridiculous

Well I pay to support the team, not the management. When I do that, I contribute to Serie A income and Milan, making it a richer league. As the money obviously will go to Serie A and not exclusively Milan through BeIn.

But han I would never expect you to, your our Rebel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
