Silvio surely made himself a Milan legend with the way his money turned this club into one of the Worlds best, but his actions over the last few years (or lack of actions) are surely tarnishing everything good he's done. He just doesn't care anymore, we need to spend in the region of £100m to really compete now, but I bet we'll sign hardly any and blame the current financial climate and say we can't. Great.

I think our club policy should be changed. Now that Paolo has retired, we shouldn't just go on the basis of whose been here the longest or whose italian. We should carefully consider all the candidates based on status, and how many minutes realistically they will play on the field and how they behave. Kaka was an ideal candidate because he was so perfect off the field as well like Maldini. Now it will be much harder to find someone of that calibre.

I am willing to see the summer through, then make judgment.
Sadly though, I've been doing this for quite some time now.
But I really think at this point - Something HAS to give.


I am in total agreement with this.
Not that the choice of longest stay here & being Italian shouldn't be considered, but instead they should all be considered as part of qualities we look for in the future selection for our potential club captains.
BTW for those who weren't aware Berlusconi has already informed that Ambrosini will be our new captain from this coming season.

QUEEEEESTION:

Kaká is said to have mentioned that the deal was sealed long ago. In that case and if AC Milan already knew this and Ancelotti was leaving ........ WHY DID WE LET GOURCUFF GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are the plans if Gourcuff is still young and cheaper than Kaká. Why did we unload this player if the board knew Kaká was leaving. Is Silvio just selling his assets in order to finally sell the team??????????????

Well in all fairness to be honest 'long ago' doesn't specify an exact time, so we don't know for certain that it was done that long ago. But yes I understand why you raise this point, as they were two players in similar poistions, that many of us would have liked to keep hold of.

One thing is for certain - The next game we all see AC Milan play will definitely be a completely different Milan.

Sad night, indeed, but I'm pretty much dead to the whole thing at this point due to the sheer media oversaturation.

No less than three weeks ago, Kaka vehemently claimed he was not leaving Milan.

As predicted, R&B is in absolute hysterics right now, which is why I'm staying far away from there. Every other post is either "TRAITOR!", wishing some type of bodily injury or cursing out B&G. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Why? because they had already screwed the whole thing up by giving Bordeaux the option to buy Yoann for a fixed price of 15m. that's why! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Yoann decided to stay and there was nothing they could do about it.

In other words, they made themselves look like a bunch of amateurs over this.

Kaka isn't a traitor...he is far from it. In the press conference he said (repeated) he never wanted to leave. He had to, because of the Milan's financial issues. So he did the best for the club, after Berlusconi told him it was necessary.
So, please, please don't treat Ricky like a traitor....he couldn't deny the offer from RM, after the president gave him only one alternative....he really had a strange sad face in the press conference.

"I would've never accepted any offer other than this one. Only Real Madrid." The writing was on the wall for years that Kaka wanted to go to Spain.

His flimsy excuse of wanting to help Milan out financially is more of an insult than his departure, otherwise he'd have accepted Man City's higher offer back in January.

You have to also consider his situation. Would you got manchester city or wait for at least a half decent club like madrid or chelsea before you move?

No self respecting footballer with a tiny bit of common sense would go to ManCity.
Only those after money or looking for a different club as their scapegoat will go to the modern day mercenaries!

Couldn't have said it better.
I mean seriously think about - ManCity or Real Madrid
There's no comparison - one is one of the greatest football clubs in the history in football and the other is just a club.
