Here's a question to you all: if Balo were to have a really good World Cup like in 2012, and his price were to increase because of that, would you sell him if someone came knocking offering +25m? And do you think we'll invest all the money in new players if we do decide to sell him?

If a offer of 25 plus million comes we will surely sell him but I doubt we will re-invest. Over the last few years we have struggled to invest and without Europe I doubt we will spend big money.

I'd hold out for something bigger, if not keep him
Because as CMF said, I highly doubt we'll re-invest that money into anything decent. plus 25m is not that much. We either sign someone to fill the hole that Balo leaves or a bunch of average players if we do re-invest that

I'm still personally not 100% sold on Rami. He tends to space out a lot during games. Him and Mexes are a good duo, but I'm still not sure if Rami really is the CB we want to move forward with taking into consideration that Mexes could also be sold
As for the other 2 I seriously hope that we won't be selling Abate, that would just be utterly stupid, we need to renew his contract ASAP and assure him that he'll be a starter next season. And with regards to Balo, unless there's some great offer on the table, I'd rather keep him for now

He's not 100% reliable, but he's the best we can afford. Hopefully Mexes accepts to lower his wages and renews, so we can be set with Rami, Mexes, Zapata and Bonera. Neither of them are great, but neither of them are crap (well, maybe Bonera a little

As a rookie coach, my guess is that he will put up with some level of BS, at least for a while. My concern if he stays is the level of influence he will have during the transfer season.
Not sure how much we can believe, but I am happy to hear he may not get sacked after all. As I said before, Seedorf was not my first choice, but now that we have him and he has done reasonably well, I believe he should be given one more year.
Forza Milan!

Am I the only one who is completely not in love with the team at all? I still support the club all the same, that won't change, but I have no real positive feelings for pretty much anyone in the team. None of the players scream "Milan" to me. Abbiati and Abate do to an extent, but they aren't like the players of the past decade.

I am with you guys to an extent - the soul isn't quite there with Milan right now, and the players, De Jong aside, are not up to the quality.
However, if you think you have it bad spare a thought for Rangers. I am taking a break from all things Ibrox due to the total civil war which has broken out. The soul there has been completely destroyed and I despise a great number of the 'fans' by comparison.
So, by contrast, I am thoroughly enjoying Milan. If a few coaching problems and signing issues are our major concerns, it's truly a blessed relief compared to problems elsewhere.
