Han was right when he hinted we'd be back with Soriano. Once again good names pop-up, but we end up with the disappointingly average solution.

Moutinho would/should be our top priority. He's the only player bar Witsel who's never failed at doing a solid or good job. Lamela and Illaramendi are bigger risks, but maybe they would pay off as well. But we absolutely need a player without issues, a solid organizer and midfield dynamo. That's why Moutinho and Witsel should be the top priorities.

But what the heck,...

Where's that walk in the room walk out Twitter meme when you need it.

Thought you had your doubts about Witsel and questioned nearly everything about his abilities.

AC Milan are interested in Barcelona midfielder Alex Song (27). The Italian club would prefer a loan. [Corriere dello
Sport]

Milan offered Matri to Inter for Ranocchia in a swap deal. Inter turned the offer down. (GdS)

We dropped interest in Moutinho because he's injured and not available till October.

You'd think we would KNOW this before making inquires!

Oh, and yay on Song!

I almost fell off my chair. Mediaset reporting such things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Lol Song? A replica although slightly worse version of De Jong when we need creators?

And this Silvio stopping funds rumour going around is absolutely hilarious to even think about. S Galliani blew through 85m and the midfield problems we starts with are still not fixed! Brilliant!!

Also, completely looking over Moutinho is stupid just because he's out for a month, we wouldn't have had any issues signing Ibra and he's injured as well. Our management simply don't follow the same logic when it comes to strikers and players in other positions. Moutinho being injured could have been an advantage for us in negotiations, not to mention the solid rapport we have with Monaco considering the solid we did them with SES. The level of stupidity Galliani displays each summer continue to reach new epic levels

That's what happens when you have unjust job security. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Had it been anyone else, he'd have been shown the door a long time ago, considering the mess Galliani puts us in. And not just that, he digs us into deeper holes, instead of lifting the team up with good signings. Holes that take years to climb out of.

Can you guys believe that we've spent 85M and we're still sh*t?

Paletta will join Atalanta on loan. MC confirms.

Ive not watched Milan for some seasons. I think that will continue till some deep changes happen in management. With 85m spent we should have had a very competitive squad for 3d place at least if not for Scudetto.

Romanogli and Bacca are good deals, maybe we should have gotten them for less money, but after all its fine. But we really screwed things up making panic buys like Bertolacci.

Im very confused, how is it so that we cant sell players ?! And when we do, they leave for a very cheap amount of money (Rami, El Shaarawy...).

It is clear that only one player will play as trequartista and we have 3-4 players for that position, starting with Menez, Honda, Suso, Cerci and sometimes Bonaventura. Why not sell Menez, Cerci and Honda for 25-30m and buy proper trequartista with that money ?

Same goes for the midfield and CBs.

Its very clear that the club has no clue on how to manage this team.

Indeed I can, sir. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Any hope I had with this new influx of cash was dented when I knew Galliani would stay, and then our choice of coach. One might be forgiven for thinking that after the disaster ride of last year, the higher management would have learned a lesson or two.

But no, wild goose chases in the market, signing league mediocrity, and a team that knows not what to do.

I thought that with money finally available Galliani could make it work and get us some quality players, but it's very clear the guy has completely lost it and has no idea what he's doing anymore. So much money wasted.

Latest name being mentioned: Pajtim Kasami.

Well, we should wait and see. But it looks now like we've broken off all negotiations for Soriano, which is good. Also, Witsel declined a contract extension, so that might mean something.
