QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ Feb 5 2014, 02:07 PM) A few interesting articles on Goal.com.
<http://www.goal.com/it/news/7/calciomercato/2014/02/05/4595251/il-milan-si-prepara-a-unestate-rovente-45-milioni-pronti-per> is basically saying that we will have some money to spend this summer, something in the order of 45M. Some data points: - Missing CL will cost us 30M, but ... - Recent contracts made with players have a clause that reduces salary by 20% if Milan does not make a European competition. With player salaries at 105M, that would be a savings of 21M. - Additional savings would come if we get rid of excess players (in particular Mexes and Robinho). Personally, I will believe this when I see it, as our recent track record shows we are not good at unloading players. - The article also has some suspect looking calculations that yield 45M as the amount we could spend
<http://www.goal.com/it/news/7/calciomercato/2014/02/05/4596273/pazza-idea-cellino-per-il-cagliari-galliani-presidente-al-fianco-?ICID=HP_TS_2> is basically sayng that Galliani is being offered a job to run Cagliari. Apparently the team is going to be owned by the Al Thani family from Abu Dhabi, who have strong links with Galliani (as does Cellino, who apparently recommended him for the job). Have mixed feelings about this. It is time for new management and new ideas. OTOH, who do we have that can step in? Barbara? (Hmm ...)
<http://www.goal.com/it/news/7/calciomercato/2014/02/05/4596452/calciomercato-milan-altro-colpo-low-cost-nel-mirino-piace?ICID=HP_BN_1> links us with Alex from PSG, who apparently is not renewing his contract. We are also linked with Vidic, Musacchio, Doria from Botafogo, and Martins Indi from Feyenoord. Only familiar with Vidic. Any insight on the rest? Should have posted this under "Summer Transfers 2014", did not realize it had been opened :-). Can we pin it? In any case, Galliani has denied the rumor about Cagliari (see <http://www.goal.com/it/news/7/calciomercato/2014/02/05/4596878/macch%C3%A8-cagliari-galliani-giura-amore-eterno-al-milan-non-lo?ICID=HP_BN_4>). Though in Galliani's case a denial could mean anything.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Feb 5 2014, 02:14 PM) ^ Thanks for the info. The Goal article was interesting. ————————————— Taarabt: "Milan have the Italian Balloteli, and now they'll have the Moroccan Balotelli" (IMG: http://www.my-favorite-coloring.net/Images/Small/Famous-characters-Troll-face-Are-you-kidding-me-140996.png) yeah, this is what's allowed to happen when the high-flying disciplinary boot of Ibra no longer patrols and invigilates practices...guys start thinking they can invent a reputation for themselves without even playing 1 minute for the club...

QUOTE (KillerMax @ Feb 5 2014, 04:02 AM) I'm starting to dislike Seedorf as a coach already. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Abate is one of my favorite players. Never liked Abate. Seedorf is AMAZING! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
