Adriano Galliani admitted that the 5-0 win against Sampdoria has brought some serenity to an environment which was far from being optimal in the past weeks.

"Now we must give continuity to these results, even at home, otherwise it's not good," warned the vice-President of the Rossoneri ahead of Saturday's clash against Torino at San Siro.

"It's not true that Milan prefers the European competitions and does badly in the league," he continued. "We have always arrived amongst the top four places."

Galliani went on to reveal that both Henry and Toni were a step away from becoming Milan players this past summer.

"Now we can say it: we had followed Henry for a long time and he would have come to us," he revealed. "However, with the same gross wage, Barcelona gave him 50% more net pay...

"We had got Toni this summer before he went to Bayern Munich. It went like this, but there was a moment in which Toni was very close to Milan," confirmed Galliani.

What does that mean?? I mean, with the same gross wage, 50% more net pay. Is he referring to how Henry needs to pay lesser taxes in Barca?

Oh and we know Silvio deep sixed the Toni deal. And he's said this before. Wonder why goal.com is recycling.

Oh... thanks, every time we hear it sounds better!
