Milan President Silvio Berlusconi is ready to splash out a monumental £70m on new signings for the club.

The Corriere dello Sport claims that the former Italian Prime Minister has finally accepted that the Rossoneri need to invest in some new blood if they are to continue to compete at the top level.

Berlusconi will make £25m available in January, and the remaining £45m will be spent in the summer.

Top of the shopping list according to the Italian newspaper are Azzurri stars Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluca Zambrotta, Palermo striker Amauri, Valencia midfielder David Albelda and Lyon’s Kim Kallstrom.

Milan have made the worst start to a domestic season since Berlusconi took over the club 21 years and currently sit in 13th place in the table.

A major factor in the European Champions’ poor form has been their transfer campaign in the summer just past.

Only the 31-year-old Emerson and the 34-year-old Ibrahim Ba, two players way past their best, were brought to the club.

Teenage wonderkid Alexandre Pato was also signed from Internacional, although he is ineligible to play until January.

Last season spending sh!t and winning the CL we got 1 mill profit.

While Arsenal have payments to make on a 750 mill dollar stadium. Only Henry's shirts sell. They've won nothing.And they get a profit of 50 mill.

Serie A has to do something about this. Soon, the small clubs will become penniless, even if millionaires purchase them all.

The small clubs just got their end of the bargain in tv contracts ... I think that given time, Serie A will go back to being the #1 league in the world. Doesn't draw as many fans as epl or la liga do, but it is today the toughest league of them all. Still we can't compare leagues as there are different fiscal systems in each country.

Milan made that 1 million profit ? Milan was the ONLY Italian team to close it's books with a profit (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif) Not so bad for the club, but ain't something Galliani would be braging about too though.

A remedy to increase profit ? Serie A would need to attract much more fans. Marketing wise, it is possible.
