That amount was worth more back then but I think he'd still call it peanuts.
Quite true. (IMG:

And no, we didn't have oodles and oodles of trophies back then, but still a decent enough history. I guess it was the desperate and distressed situation that resulted in the sale.
Still, few can deny that he did invest quite nicely, and Galliani too, played his part. (IMG:

And really, another year or two of no solid signings, and we could have been staring at a Juve/Roma situation, and struggling to make Europe once again. Luckily it was not to be, and some timely buys, and great deals changed the winds in our favor!
