Well he could still go on to the states and live the high life in Florida/LA/New York and still get paid big money

I don't think it would be his way. It's not in his mentality to do so. But who knows.

I don't think Ibra will come back unless we change management, and from what I read Berlu is trying to work out a deal that will keep both Galliani and hid daughter in charge, even if he gives away more than 50% (and that's with both Mr. Bee and the Chinese group). Could not find the article where I read this, and I sure hope I am wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) .

As for Falcao, I think the only way we get him is if Doyen Sports is included in the deal (I believe they are associated with Mr. Bee). Not sure I would want him, though (not overly impressed of lately).

In any case, we need to fix our midfield first, IMHO (though with Ibra that may not be as critical, he is good at creating his own chances).

Word on Ibra is he would be willing to return but not under Silvio. In other words, under new ownership.

[Fillipo Simone]

Seems far fetched to me.

That's what's been the word about other top players re our management, which just shows how Galliani has simply tarnished his own and Milan's reputation with clubs and players alike.

We need a striker like Falcao or Ibrahimovic, someone who is considered World Class..

Destro, Menez and El Shaarawy aint cutting it for me...

Galliani: ‘Big transfer campaign’

Milan’s joint-CEO Adriano Galliani has promised a ‘big transfer campaign’ this summer, and congratulates Juventus.

The Rossoneri are 11th in Serie A, closer to bottom-of-the-table Parma than to champions Juve.

“There will be a big transfer campaign, absolutely,” Galliani assured, speaking to assembled media at the Football Heroes exhibition.

“When you have the prestige which Milan does, it’s easy to start again. Juventus [who finished seventh twice in a row before winning the Scudetto] are the example of that.

“In 1998 we finished 11th, and in 1999 we won the Scudetto. We have the desire to get back to the top.

“We’re full of desire and good intentions for the next transfer campaign. We’ve suffered badly this year, so hopefully Milan can come back.

“In 10 years we made three Champions League finals - two of which we won - a semi-final and a quarter-final. I hope we can return to those levels.”

While the Diavolo are toiling in the lower half of the table, Juventus are in the Champions League final.

The club was close to completing a deal for Carlos Tevez, while Andrea Pirlo was allowed to leave on a free transfer. Does it hurt to see those players in the final?

“You can’t fix the past, we look forward, we’re looking to the future. I’m happy for the two of them, and I’m happy for Juventus.

“In the European competitions, those who play and win - as we have done more times than any other - bring home important [coefficient] points for all the other Italian clubs.”

[Forza Milan!]

Words. Empty words, AFAIAC. Let's see what really happens this summer.

[X-Offender]

According to Tuttosport, we'll have a budget of €80 million to spend on new players this summer.

[Fillipo Simone]

Does this mean the deal with Mr. Bee will go through?

How do you guys take Galliani's words?

I'll believe that when I see it.

Personally I think before we can even think about signing anyone we have to work our asses off at unloading all the deadweight Galliani brought in over the summer and winter

Does this mean the deal with Mr. Bee will go through?

I personally think he's bullshitting us, as usual. Can't wait for the Mr. X saga to start up again.

I'd personally prefer a SMART transfer campaign rather than one where we throw money around at the wrong players, that's something we already do anyway

As for Mr. Bee, last I read, no. Nothing s set in stone yet and Silvio is courting other investors, namely ones from China

In last 10 years we have not made three UCL finals.. Since last few years i am not hopeful at all about this summer. To be honest, if we want to target to win the league then will 80M be enough?

[Fillipo Simone]

Smart campaign? Wasn't last summer supposed to be a smart campaign? What this team needs is at least one big player who's able to perform constantly good and step up. Then we can sing the smart Montolivo's and Bonaventura's.

As for dead weight. Who do you have in mind when you say selling/releasing players? Not as many as last season I'd say.

Aren't there new rules by which we absolutely need to reduce our roster? Given our (lack of) success in getting rid of dead weight, we are far more likely to end up with a team mostly built out of players we would rather not have.

Hope I am wrong, but it does not feel like we are making much progress selling the club, if we don't sell the club I don't see where we will get 80M to spend, and even if we had 80M to spend I don't trust Galliani's ability to make the right moves.

With a pinch of salt, as always, but I think we will spend something this summer. €80 million seems too much, though, unless we plan on funding our transfers in some way.

Aren't there new rules by which we absolutely need to reduce our roster?

Yes, we are required to have no more than 25 players in our roster for next season. So, a lot of players will have to leave.

Mediaset says we have an agreement with Genoa for Bertolacci (24, CM). We also have to negotiate with Roma, though, as they hold part of his contract.
