The more this summer moves on, the more frustrating it feels as a Rossoneri.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a lovely feeling being champions, having the CL draw to look forward to, and having just won today's Italian Super Cup thrown in for good measure against our old chums Internazionale.

But I feel a real tinge of annoyance that becoming champions doesn't appear to have changed anything at all.

For me, this renaissance of Milan was a real opportunity to start bringing in some top class talent, to supplement an extremely successful core and reinforce our position as well as initiating a serious assault on the CL.

But we've totally failed to come close to doing that.

That Mexes (a decent if unexciting signing) is our biggest capture of the summer thus far shows a total lack of ambition from the powers that be at the club.

My sense of disappointment (despite the result) was never more highlighted than when I looked at the starting line up for today's Super Cup final.

Effectively exactly the same players who won the league last year. We had the reasonably young Boateng, Abate, Silva and Robinho in the side but they were completely outnumbered by the well over 30s.

Don't get me wrong, this group of players won the league and this cup final, and deserve huge credit for that, but it feels like the club has stood still this summer.

Look at Barca - by far the best club side around right now, and even THEY brought in an expensive high quality new signing. They did not rest on their laurels.

We have.

I felt when we won the league we had a wee chance of being a side who could challenge Barca - we had a very good squad and if we made some key signings to develop the team, we could do something in the CL.

But...nothing.

It's such a missed opportunity so far, a real chance to grow as a team yet it's the same old guard who still play rather than top class quality players being brought in to improve us.

There is still time left in the window to make 2 or 3 key signings - top brass who'd be instant starters, but I just can't see anything on the horizon other than continued speculation about how we're not signing Fabregas and Hamsik is out our price range.

It's really quite disappointing.
