It gets worse...

Now we're being linked to Pandev! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Worse, as in, relegated or worse, Trini? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Yup, now that I think of it, signing Pandev is worse than relegation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) Woeful player, at least these days.

The problem with keeping Balo isn't just the issues his attitude brings, but how can he be successful in this team? His value will only decrease.

If he has a good season his value will increase, regardless of what Milan as a whole does.

Let's not forget, last season, statistically speaking was his best season to date, playing in this Milan, the only thing that f@cked us over in terms of his value is the horrific world cup he and Italy had, which was unfairly blamed on him but it was expected, forget the fact that all the Juve players bombed big time as well

And who's then to blame for singing players like Matri?


I know very well how the Bundesliga functioned and how it reformed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) On the other hand we have Italy, as you mention, the government (which was for most years in recent time under Berlusconi) and the FIGC with the candidate we backed. Now tell me the Milan management stays in line of progress?



But now our wage burden does include Essien, Muntari and a couple of other players. Like you said it, we've gotta sell and release players in order to sign new ones. All I'm asking is, who gave Robinho a new contract, or Muntari? You think their contracts are a good thing for us?



No, Galliani is surely not solely responsible. But the way he behaves and the moves he's doing - they make him into a prime candidate for all the bad things around Milan.

Apparently we've opened negotiations with Liverpool, Balo could leave for €20 million, money which we'd invest in Cerci. Then our replacement for Balo would be Campbell on loan, if Wenger accepts.

Shoot me, shoot me now...

I'd rather stick with Balo then throw out 20 for Cerci and a loan deal.

MS Lies, Rodgers said last night he doesn't want Balo. And Wenger was on record saying Campbell 'will not' go to any club on loan.

What I AM hearing is we're trying to buy Campbell.

We'll shoot each other on the count of 3.

So far the media has been completely full of sh!t this summer, not one link has turned out to be true, The Cerci thing as far as I know is as dead as the rest of the rumours as we're not going to be spending that kind of money on him either. And Campbell is a winger as well last time I checked.

So I seriously hope they're wrong again. 20m for Balo would be reliving the idiocy of the Thiago + Ibra 2 for 1 deal we already went through, how much more stupid can Galliani get at this point? I get Balo is a hassle to deal with at times, but he's 10 times the player Cerci is, he's much younger and we could be about to sell him while his market value is at it's lowest! The level of this club's naivety in the transfer market during this past decade is just unbelievable . Galliani is no longer cut out for doing this job

Former Milan forward Giuseppe Marchioro says there is no future for the Rossoneri if things at the club stay as they are.

Pippo Inzaghi’s team have conceded 10 goals in three pre-season friendlies during their tour of the United States, scoring only once themselves.

“You can’t understand anything anymore, there is a confusion there and it is very difficult to get an idea,” Marchioro said of the team’s performances.

“The results in these friendlies show how much work there is to do to make up the lost ground.

“The truth is that the Milan squad is not of a high level and if it stays that way I can’t see a future.”

The 78-year-old also believes changes are needed off the pitch as well as on it at San Siro.

“I think that now even the directors don’t seem to have any more desire, they seem to have made peace with their conscience.

“Something needs to change there too, otherwise it will be impossible to see the Milan of 15 years ago again.

“A defender of an excellent level is missing, like De Vrij could have been, two midfielders and a striker that Milan do not have at this moment.”

I used to subscribe to this reasoning but "Milan" isn't playing/acting/doing business/having players even remotely resembling the "milan" I've grown to know and love. There comes a point (I'm not suggesting that I'm at that point) where the only things that make a club what it is are the colours and the logo. When that happens, you can't blame ppl for leaving

Agreed, I can support them, to be sure, but as far as spending time on forums, buying merch, recording games, following the day-to=day, i expect to see a great decline. I refuse to pay more attention to the club than the management appears to. It's too negative. I'll be a milanista forever, but, to be honest, this is ridiculous....Negotiations for pandev? **** off! i'm through following this **** until the season starts

Too many of our fans expect the great Milan of old.

Sorry guys, but we're not that team any more.

Just like Marseille are not their great team of the late 80s early 90s. Just like my Rangers aren't the great Rangers of the 90s. Just like Ajax are not their great team of the 70s.

If you want success all the time, choose a new team every so often.

If you want to support a team, it's with you for life and stop whining about the darker periods - well, stop using them as an excuse to 'walk away'.

Too many fans spoiled by the Sacchi+ period and now can't handle this period.

Things change Dru. If you can't handle that change, then it is best you walk away.

We know this isn't the Milan we'd expect them to be, but support is through thick and thin, not just when they're 'good'.

Sure you can start loving during a great period, but support is when it's so entrenched in your veins you can't walk away when the drought periods happen.

It seems this forum is very divided on this.
