if we are gonna get a manager that would want and expect milan to spend 80m+ on new players what was the point of selling ibra + silva? if we kept them, added de jong and monty and maybe one more good player we would be up there as challengers for the CL.
if only they gave allegri a fair shot by spending the ibra + silva money then we wouldn't be in this mess.
I'd like to address this one. People make fun of old Fergie when he says things like there's no value in the market etc.. But for me, that's accurate sometimes.
Firstly, with Ibra and Silva, our squad was still not good enough. It was a clear level below the best teams in this world, and this was due to many reasons. Mainly tactical limitations and an overdependence on Ibra. And yet, we were spending as much as the best teams in the world, on wages.
If money is to be invested, one has to increase the probability of success. Would I rather keep hold of the 2011-12 situation and trust Allegri to win the CL, or would I rather scrap that experiment (which IMO reached a glass ceiling), and trust a tactically better coach with a bunch of new players? If the money between both options are comparable, I would go with the latter.
We may be able to find several players of the type Pep likes for decent prices - An example here is Michu last Summer - a player Pep would have liked, but not Allegri. 80 million is obviously a made-up media figure at this point. For me, there are many average-priced players around whom Pep would like.
So for me, if we are spending money, I'd much rather spend that with a top class coach rather than maintain the status quo of last season.
