[LaPalma]

Hey guys, I started this topic because I want to give some basic opinions of mine concerning our current situation, because I can't see things going out well if we go on like this.

1. Don Silvio and Galliani

I know it's almost a sacrilege to say this, but Silvio has to give the club our at least the responsibilty to someone else, and I'm not talking about a chairholder like Galliani, I'm talking about a real change. He should at least let one of his sons do all the business concerning Milan. Silvio has done great things for the club in the past, but this time is long gone. He didn't do a thing for Milan in the last years, he only cared for his political career and Mediaset (I know Milan is a part of Mediaset, but he only does things for Milan if it's good for the entire Mediaset group). If he really cares for Milan the club could have easily avoided a calciopolli penalty, of that I'm sure.---> He should give the club away if he doesn't want it anymore.
Galliani should also go IMO. His transfer policy in the last years was a joke, and especially since the 2005 final it aonly weakened us. Nothing has been done concerning the squad since 2001. The only player we spent big money on was Gila, and we all know what a great investment in our future he was (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) . Signing Ricky wasn't more than winning the lottery. Who did we sign in the last seasons? 34 year old Favalli, 32 year old damn Vieri, 32 year old Amoroso and many more crap players like Dhorasoo and Vogel, car that only costed us money and didn't help us in ANY way. And now all this rumours about useless oldies like Emerson, Zé and Canna joining us next season really scares me.
All the runmours concerning young players we could have signed (Ibra, Sobis, Pato,Carrizzo, Akinfeev, Ilsinho) turned out to be B/S.
Instead of building up a squad Silvio and Galliani want to sign Ronaldinho.

The contract situation:

We already what it takes to sign Ronnie. There won't be any new signings instead of him for the entire next season. Instead of refreshing our defense and the entie WAY TOO OLD team we're renewing tzhe contracts of 2nd class players like Simic. Plus, why did we renew Didas contract? He wasn't playing good for a long time, and it was obvious his desire to play for Milan could have been stronger (he waited until the almost last moment to renew his contract). I know signing Gigi was just a dream, but Amelia or Boruc would have been possible and not to expensive alternatives. But now, as always we can't give away our good old things...
And what about Seedorf? Renewing his contract was a good decison, but why until 2010? Other clubs are giving 30+ players only contracts for one year, but we're giving them contract for 4 years!
While we're renewing our oldies contracts, Galliani already thinks of giving our only good young player (Gourcuff of course) away on loan.

The Primavera:

In the last months I asked myself "Why do we have a primavera?" I know some might say now "We don't have players like Messi or Walcott in our youth." Well, if we have one we won't find out for sure, because our Primavera players don't even have a chance to sit on the bench of our first squad. Players like Aubamayeng, Di Gennaro and Lunati should be given a chance!

Well, that's it for now, there are many more things bothering me, but it would take me too much time to write it and it'll take you guys too much time to read it (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

LaPalma .. I understand where ur coming from and I too am sick of watching a match against a team like Reggina and hoping we dont loose the match and at some point wishing we could draw. I hate the feeling that Milan is at it's weakest point in the span of a five year period.


But with that left aside, Silvio and Galliani are business men and know how to work the market, which they have worked for so long now. The difference between Milan and any other team, in the transfer market, is to keep the team intact with a healthy dressing room atmosphere.

With that said, I still do agree with u, but Silvio has won more than any other president (of a club) in the 20 year period at the helm of Milan. And Galliani, though many dislike him, he is the most important part of Milan IMO .. He is the one that kept the team together after Istanbul

Players like Dharosso, Vogel, Amoroso, etc were stand in players for our first team. Milan cant get a Van der Vaart and keep him on the bench. And Milan cant get a Gallas and keep him on the bench, Favalli on the other hand is a good player for our bench, who is a stand in for our Maldini.

This is why I love Milan so much .. The team isn't about bringing in young prospects; it is about having a team able to challenge for at least two trophies every season. Milan doesn't wait on players to come about; Gourcuff is a good example of this.

Milan in a simple sentence is experience above all else. And that is what scares many teams that face us and believe it or not, we do scare teams, even with this weak team that we have (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hope I recharged ur enthusiasm and don't loose hope, if R10 comes. Milan will still take care of what other players the team needs. i.e. a Costacurta replacment to be the least (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
