Difficult to know where to start - it's been a crushingly disappointing 24 hours. On this forum there are huge splits in terms of where the blame lies. If indeed there is any real blame.

Last summer of 2011 we had the real potential, having won the league and secured entry to the CL, to enhance the squad with real quality. Invest in the team and make us elite again. We got Aquilani, Sharrawy, Mexes, Nocerino and Muntari.

None of these are achingly poor players, but they were hardly the marquee quality we needed - and despite an honourable showing against Barca, we didn't win the CL and in the league we've been extremely inconsistent.

It's very difficult to know where to start - but the one critical change we need is squad investment. We do have very good players, wonderful players, but not enough of them. When you look at the top clubs they have at least 20 top top players - City, United, Barca, Real, Bayern - big world class squads designed to cope with injuries, suspensions, and a genuine challenge for the top honours.

We don't have that. We do have the CL again next season, and the default money which comes from that, but Silvio, with a bit of time on his hands these days, really does have to make some big signings. The fans need a boost, and frankly many millions require spending.

As for Allegri - as long as I have been a Milan fan fellow Rossoneri have never agreed on the manager - from Carlo, to Leo, to Allegri - all have been 'wrong' in the eyes of the fans no matter what they won.

Problem is a manager is only one man - 100% of fans are never going to agree with you, and even winning a league might not be enough to prove your doubters wrong.

So I don't know where I stand on the boss.

But I do know this squad needs reinforcement of the highest quality - guys who will cost a fortune but be definite starters and take us up a level.

I guess my thread title has been partially answered.

Sweeping changes this summer - at least 7 players on their way out, possibly more.

Massive investment required in new players.

At least 2 marquee players should be bought, along with 5 top class players.

This squad, as well as I feel it overall did this season, needs freshening up big time. It should have happened last summer but disappointingly an opportunity was missed.

With Berlu having some free time now, he can dedicate himself to investing in this team. A couple of £30M+ players and maybe 4 or 5 £10-15M players.

Pie in the sky maybe but we need a Man City style influx of top class players. We don't have their money, but we do need fresh and good quality blood pronto.

Only the senior players going request was answered. Now it's up to the management to make the moves that this club has been craving for years now. We've been talking about letting some of the senior players go since the Carlo days. Imo this exodus should have been done over a few years, and not with a massive amount of player leaving all at one go. Because it will be a b!tch trying to replace them.

Also, if the medical department is not carefully scrutinised and if there aren't changes made than all the complaining about a big squad should be put to rest. Because our injury problems require the massive squad that we have. If we hadn't had the squad size that we did this season, Allegri wouldn't have been able to field 11 players at one point in the season.
