i'm not talking about the previous seasons as they have gone and nothing can be done about it i'm talking about the here and now and yes the lack of C.L will make a difference to the budget. We should always have expectations but perhaps they shouldn't be as they were before were no player was unreachable...apart from Chelsea this is a reflection of nearly all clubs. Galliani is the club spokesman and therefore reflects what the club is thinking/saying....for me it's a concern tinged with a bit of reality that times have changed and therefore so must our outlook and ambitions!
I think what I_R is trying to say is that it would have been a valid reason if Milan aren't buying this transfer window is because of no CL football, but since in the last 2 transfer windows Milan have made absolutely no good signings when Milan during these 2 transfer windows, had either just won the CL and made a huge ammount on that or sold Sheva in the other, the 'we aren't buying because we don't have CL footbal next season' basically just falls on deaf ears.
Had it been just this season and we had made decent purchases during the other 2 transfer windows then I think everyone would close their eyes and be more then happy with the transfers already made. But it is getting way to old and most fans are fed up with the excuses
