I can't see how Galliani says we won't sign anyone when we practically have no DM! Ambro is old and fragile, plus he's not good enough. Muntari is still an enigma, not to mention a horrible football player. Then you have Strasser who never plays. Seriously, De Jong's injury is gonna hunt us more than we expected if baldy doesn't sign a proper replacement before the window closes.

I think he's prove you wrong. But apart from the bolded part, I agree. Problem is, we don't have the money to sign a good DM as it looks - so we can choose either to "stay as we are" or sing someone like Mesbah.

Plus you forgot Traore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Galliani: "Nobody is coming if nobody is leaving. Balotelli? We have five strikers for 2-3 positions, we're good. We've decided to invest in emerging youngsters. We've explained it to the fans and I think they have understood it. It will take some time to reach the top, but I think we'll make it. In the last 12 games we've made an average of 2 points per game, and if it wasn't for the horrid start to the season, we'd be in the first three places now. But we've passed the initial shock and now we're confident we can make it".

Chiriches? Strootman? Nainggolan? Balotelli? What were we thinking! Of course we're fine as we are.

Un-fucking-believable.

Sky says Robinho will return to Brazil and we will sign Balotelli.

Seriously, I don't know how they come up with stuff like this when the exact opposite is happening.

The opposite of what we are told usually takes place

Do you really believe that this time we'll get Balotelli?

I think he's out of the question right now. Especially if Santos are unwilling to budge on their offer for Robinho and he refuses to go to another team

Still, I think at this poing Balotelli would be a futile signing. Sneijder is who we should be after, not another striker dependant on service that this team cannot provide

I remember when we bought Ronaldinho.....who we really needed at the time was Eto'o....Eto'o would have done wonders to post-$heva Milan....but we got the bigger name the more glamorous player even though he was completely unnecessary.

Sadly the same can be said about my beloved Ronaldo....when Drogba and Henry were both better fits and equally attainable.

Milan is essentially Berlusconi's toy and whatever will make it look bigger and shinier will be bought if any funds are available

Gone are the days where actual teams are assembled. We have to get by on what we could and hope for the president's vanity to work in our favour from time to time.


tl;dr= Balo is very possible for our corrupt, vain senile president. Someone that we could actually use like Sneijder is too expensive.

I don't know if we'll sign Balo but I 100% agree with drucurl here.

You're 100% correct in your assesment and I don't think Berlu himself could really deny that.

Still Senijder would be a far more cheaper option, the money being mentioned for the Galatasaray move is not that large. His wage could be a problem, but given we could cut out Robinho + plus the one Pato earned, offering him 5m would be doable and acceptable for him.

Balo on the other hand would be for a rather large sum, no matter how fed up City are with him, plus the huge wages which would be on a par with Sneijder.

I think that this is more of a case regarding our inept management and not knowing when a good thing is right under their noses rather than Silvio's vanity

Well I don't know that our management apart from Berlu is that inept. Actually Berlu himself isn't inept in the slightest either.....they all know what they're doing

The problem is that their objectives are different from those of the fans.

Berlu isn't stupid.....Milan being cr@p in some twisted way actually looks good for a man wanting to be president (not sure if he withdrew from the race already) in a country under such harsh economic times.....his opponents would SLAUGHTER him were he to splurge on a Falcao or indeed a Balotelli.

All of these horrible signings and players along with the epitome of mediocrity Allegri makes us look like "poor Milan". While in public he will put up a strong face, I think in reality he wants us to look this bad.

If he was to win the elections I'm pretty sure we'll get some new "football candy"....i.e. a fancy attacker but not necessarily any "football nutrients" i.e. players that we need in less glamorous positions.

I think that sums it up pretty much. As the objective, since the departure of the old guard has been a long-term one, while we, fans, think about the current market and players available for sale ... The club is looking at prospect players which we have not heard of, the likes of SES.

EDIT: That is where the frustration of the Milan fans factors in.

Beckham return to Milan?
By Football Italia staff

There are extraordinary rumours circulating that Milan are in talks to bring David Beckham back to San Siro for the third time.

The England star has already played for the Rossoneri on loan from LA Galaxy from January to June 2009 and January to June 2010, taking advantage of the MLS close season.

Beckham has now finished his career in America, winning the MLS Cup 2012 in his final match for the Galaxy.

He may be 37 years old, but there are reports in Sport Mediaset that Milan are willing to make an exception on their policy of signing only young players.

The story is already gaining traction and bookmakers in England are taking bets on Becks making a Rossoneri comeback.

Exception to the rule...? EXCEPTION?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/realmad.gif) it'll further prove how hopeless and pathetic we are if we sign Beckham. all the talk of not signing anyone old again, and then bringing in a 37yo for a non-footballing reason we are all aware of.

It better remain just a rumor.

Maybe. But I'm frustrated by another thing: the fact that after so many years, for the first time they (management) failed to "sell" me their plan. I was on board with most of their moves, but this time I'm not convinced their plan has long-term potential. Why? I already explained - to put it simple - I don't think a club of legends and senators can overnight turn into the next Porto or Arsenal.

And even if we turn into Arsenal, I don't find it particularly good. We are Milan and we should be keeping our best players and not turning into a club that creates and then passes on their best players.

What is even worse is, given the present constellation, he'd be a good signing.

Daily Mail "Beckham seems to have his heart set on finishing his career with Milan". I would take him. He's better than most of the midfielders we have and if nothing else, you're going to get absolute 100% effort with him. He has a knack for helping his teams get the job done as well, no matter what.
