Let's sum up the state of play.
The league:
We currently reside in 9th place. We are behind teams like Genoa, Torino, and HV.
The Champions League:
We qualified in second behind Barca.
January's transfer window sees the certain arrivals of:
Adil Rami, a decent 27-year old French international defender with dozens of caps, signed for free from Valencia.
And Keisuke Honda, another decent 27 year old international this time with Japan, also signed for free, from Russians CSKA Moscow.
The last 16 of the CL, to be drawn on Monday, will see us in a tie with either:
Man Utd, Bayern Munich, PSG, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea or Real Madrid. In other words, every group winner.
With Barbara Berlusconi now joint general manager with Galliani, there have certainly been changes behind the scenes.
Just where are Milan right now? Is there a domestic resurgence on the cards? Will we produce a miracle in the last 16 and end up in the quarters? Will we bring in more players in January beyond the 2 I mention? Now that Juve and Napoli are out, all the TV cash goes to us, which helps.
And with the ambitious Babs having equal power to Galliani, might she force through transfers we possibly would have missed out on?
