[Rossoneri7]

Entertaining game, you can't win all of them, but you can beat expectations and to this day, Mihalovic has had a splendid season. Took a while to take off but I like what I see and the important thing is that Milan is playing like a unit.

16 year old 'Gigi Buffon esque' goalkeeper and an ever so present attacking array. The midfield isn't such a big feat, but the emphasis should not be on names but on the team collective. As such Montolivo has won me over in recent games. In short, this team (if it remains intact, with quality additions to defense and midfield) could aim for trophies galore in coming years.


Yet there is a flip side. If no one buys into Milan, the club will be forced to sell 'some' of the star performers this season to shore up losses that were accumulated from last Summer's spending and lack of Europe - It served us well to focus on building a team with little distractions. As can be confiremed by results thus far - But that lack of Europe has had significant affects to the club's income, a crucial aspect we are not affected by Sunday-to-Sunday, which should force the club to sell players at attractive offers. And lack of a new investor doesnt help either.


Not all is gloomy on the horizon, Milan has done well in scouting youth, case in point our gk and scorer. There is a different approach than was applied in seasons past (seasons of glory). I am happy that results are showing up in both the teams performance and the individual player's priority to be cohesive with the team. This environment (bar balotelli) is a catalyst to success and an aura I have missed! It is good the current owner has increased spending when ffp permitted last summer, otherwise I would be here going back and forth with how we have a foot forward and a foot falling weightless behind.

Milan is back, at least till May (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)
