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)

2 or 3 players are the least Milan will do during this summer's transfer campaign ... What happened last summer is something to take into consideration, as Milan were going to be demoted till the last minute ...

The summer before that ?? Milan had a perfect team that went to the CL final and lost it in 6 crazy minutes, plus we were 6 points (or 5) off of 1st place.


The season before that the scudetto ..


The one before that CL in Manchester.

I mean, where did Milan actually fail us ?!

The age of our players ?? Of those Cafu has been replaced, Sergio has his replacment (Grimi I presume), Stam had been replaced by a solid Bonera, Gourcuff is a breath of fresh air ... Milan is changing, but it isnt easy benching a player like Cafu .. I mean compare his form last season and the one before to Oddo's performance (even at Lazio..) ... All I'm saying is it takes time ... The team we have at the moment has chemistry and understanding that surpasses any other team !!

I agree (and always agreed) that new players are needed .. But it isn't easy replacing Maldini, Nesta, Dida, Seedorf, etc etc ... These are players of the highest quality Dida is one of the best Gkeepers in the world, Nesta is one of the best defenders in the world and Maldini is simply our Captain since Baresi ... How can u replace these players ?! It takes time .. And as time passes us by, they will be replaced with the best (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

With that said, we will see at LEAST 2 or 3 new players in Milan .. But that is next summer, this season .. Milan came back from the bottom of the table to 3 points off of 4th place ! Milan is in the CL last 16 (I honestly think we have a chance of going to Athens - when we do, I'll see u there and ask u about what u think of Silvio and co.
