QUOTE (Danny @ Aug 4 2014, 09:32 PM)  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. I don't expect us to always be competing with the big spenders of every era. Quite frankly I think it's obscene to see some of the ridiculous amounts of money paid in transfer fees, wages, endorsements etc etc. But then again I am not very materialistic (I hope). What I find INEXCUSABLE is the lack of AMBITION and DRIVE in the club. There are many paths to success in the football world. You could BUY it like Manchester City (AND United don't fool yourself), Chel$k!, Real Madrid and P$G. However these clubs tend to have a low rate of return in terms of silverware for their outlay of capital. There is also the Dortmund, Atletico (not so much) and Arsenal model of using very good scouts and finding young gems who can and often do blossom into players that drive the club to success. Then there's the Barcelona/Bayern model that makes extensive use of their youth products but also spend their money on guaranteed superstars. There are numerous other permutations of the three basic models that can yield success. Even if actual silverware is produced, the club plays attractive football, maintains a proliferating fan base, boasts a roster of exciting players and is competitive on numerous fronts. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why Milan can't/shouldn't be in any of the above situations....all of which are acceptable. BUT INSTEAD WE
I could go on. But if my post is TL/DR We are basically upset about the DIRECTION the club is heading as opposed to the CHANGES in themselves. |

Robinho is very close to joining Al Ahli. Galliani will try to sign the following three players in the last week of August ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ): Reina, Rabiot and Taarabt.
Link *sigh* Reina is crap, Rabiot I've never heard of, Taarabt I don't want him back. Jeez, why can't we make a couple of decent signings for once! |

According to Gazzetta, Constant's agent have agreed for the player to transfer Trabzonspor, whereas we're close to signing Armero from Udinese.

Taraabt would only cost us 3M, which would be a steal. Reina? ewwwww. Rabiot is very exciting, though |

Screw these journalists! When I posted that comment Mediaset was clearly stating that we've reached an agreement with Genoa and the announcement would come soon. Now they're saying the deal is complicated and we're also interested in Diego Lopez. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)
By the way, Constant to Trabzonspor is official. Yay! |

Constant leaving is damn good news.
Liking the rumors of Perin & Lopez. Unsure about Armero, but I'm certain I don't mind Constant going one bit. I read that Robinho has two offers (but I'm not putting to much hope into this one, as we've heard it all before) Overall we've gotten some improved news today I must say!

Perin are Armero I would be pleased with. Promising keeper and an upgrade on Constant, good stuff.
