Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and love the Transfer Campaign

“We do not have a transfer kitty stashed away here. Despite failing to qualify for the Champions League, the club is strengthening the squad and increasing the wages. This means we’ll be £35m in the red without Berlusconi’s help.

“The fans should be happy, as all we’d need to do in order to wipe out or debts is sell Kaka and Andrea Pirlo. Instead they won’t move, so if that’s not a show of love for this side, I don’t know what is.

“It is incredible that the supporters are not celebrating the arrival of Marco Borriello, who scored 19 goals last season, the fact Alexandre Pato can finally play a full campaign, Mathieu Flamini from Arsenal and World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta.

“As a fan, I too hope something else will happen, but Milan have already reinforced their squad.”


The above quote is what Galliani said in response to the petition asking Berlusconi to sell the club. He can't make it any clearer than this.

The club does NOT want to be in debt. They don't want to find themselves in the same ****hole as most of the other big clubs. And they gotta do what they gotta do. We're a big club with limited transfer funds.

For this, I'm grateful for the transfers we already made. And I think Milan will keep fighting until they get their finances straight again. Can we win the Scudetto with this squad? Most likely not. But things will get better.

Now do I believe Galliani should be sacked? Probably yes. We need someone like Leonardo IN CHARGE of our transfers, not just as a scout. Galliani dropped the ball one too many times... And he has a thing for injury-prone oldies while Leonardo is into youth.

But should Berlusconi sell the club? That depends on him, and he seems to want to hold on and he might just have a reason. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm sure Dida and Emerson deserve another chance at least (I'd say the opposit if only we'd sign a decent keeper and a fresh midfielder). Brocchi...why isn't he linked with some of the mid-table clubs jet? I hope he'll leave.

I think Dida has been given more then enough chances, and it's not like he's in his twenties and just starting out and has a decent salary that wouldn't really effect Milan if it is being payed or not.

He has a wage that goes up tp 4m each year, why keep him when Carlo has clearly lost faith in him and won't play him. He'll spend another season on the bench but in the end still collect his money, and Galliani still has the b@lls to come out and complain about money when this is going on

As for Puma, I like him, I liked the way he played last season when he was played, personally I would prefer him over Ambro since he has much more techincal ability, doesn't have the temper Ambro does and is a much smarter player, but with Flamini coming in him and Brocchi will probably only be used in Coppa matched we have waay too many defensive mids, we simply don't need that many
