Now I can't read Italian so if any Italian speakers out there care to translate please feel free. The only bit I understand is the vendi il Milan bit.

Seems the natives are getting restless.

@R7 - It's not just Italy that is being hit hard, this is a worldwide situation which started in America(sub prime mortgage). Everyone in Europe is being affected in one way or another. Here in England our cost of living has shot right up(and don't even speak about fuel prices (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ), although I appreciate that Italy has always been a 'poor' country(nothing personal, just my view). Now I can see where you're coming from and normally I would say I agreed with you, but when I see Galliani give dodo a 5 year £4m a year contract then I have to disagree with you. That contract will cost Milan £20m!!!! Now I'm sure you and I could have spent that money far more wisely (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

True. Personally I'm not convined by the whole Italy can't keep up thing since basically all of the world is in this state. And it's not the fact that we don't spend the money it's the fact that it is spent un-wisely, keeping players for sentimental values that have high wages is ridiculous

And Silvio might have to worry about his image and what the people think of him as prime minister, but that it the reason he has resigned as president because of conflict of interest. So Milan making a good signing shouldn't be seen as such a terrible thing since technically Silvio is not involved.

But again, if this is all as you say R7, because of the whole Silvio being prime minister and him not wanting to spend millions on a player while the country is in such a terrible financial state, then why did Milan not make any great signings during these past 2 years before Silvio was re-elected?

Because the problem started at the turn of the millennium .. The problem in Italy in particular if you ask me is from two areas; export and government spending ... Since the former is the pillar of the Italian economy and is showing grave signs of weakness and the latter is responsible for the 2nd largest debt ratio on the planet (this is not Abramovic's debt of 400MM or the Glazers of 300MM .. This is hardcore debt, placed on Italy by the IMF)!


Why and How come and any query you wish to raise will always be answered by your assumption han. I can never convince you and you (as anyone here) have already formed an opinion on it!


But I can tell you one thing ... That Milan needs to reshuffle it's ranks and that Milan will bring in players, as there are at least two coming in IMO!! But the question is, how will they come?! If you ask me, I would say that they will come from the back door, without too much publicity and without disclosing the actual amount of the transaction.
