Its not a question about spending mutli-millions. I don't care about that. Only thing I care about is us winning trophies - something we haven't been able to do for sometime now. You don't have to spend million in order to build a strong team. There are good players out there, who would improve our squad, that can be fetched at relatively low prices. There is the youth sector which we can try to develop + use more actively.
If I see the management working on projects/policies such as those, I will be content. But what they are busy trying to do is remind everyone of our past successes, make excuse after excuse, eventually delaying the inevitable. This pisses me off.
Well said.
THERE IS NO PLAN EXCEPT TO CANNIBALIZE THE SQUAD FROM ITS best PARTS. We used to be accustomed to a stable environment....now if we sell Pato/Silva/Ron tomorrow nobody would be shocked or even significantly depressed.
If we're into the youth self sufficiency thingy then why haven't we been buying the youth we need in the crucial areas missing areas.
Our purchase of Ronaldinho defies all the ridiculous lies about being fiscally responsible etc. To a smaller extent Flamini and KHunt too. At the time of our purchase we needed neither of these guys but their presence adds to the attractive profile of Milan. Cissokho, who fit the alleged description of EVERYTHING we needed was rejected and any reason I come up in my head about why he wasn't accepted isn't nice.
Then comes Mancini....big-ish name (as were Ronaldo, Vieri, Redondo, Rivaldo, Khunt etc) but clearly not what we needed. Hell not even Leo could pimp him out like he did with Ron. Mancini was also over 23 but we all knew that "youth policy" was a SHAM so nobody really batted an eyebrow. Then came Yepes....but heyyyy berlu fans could manage to get their mouths off his cock to tell you that it's for "squad reinforcement" - which would make sense if only the
gaping holes (another provision, courtesy the Berlu groupies
) in the FIRST TEAM were plugged.
Anto & Abate are NOT big team starters. Maaaaaaybbbbeeee Anto but Abate belongs in a track suit, running for Italy at the Olympics. We need a left and Right back. I'm all for Milano's proposal of letting Anto/Abate fight for it on the right and getting a solid LB (of the Clichy, Cole, Evra ilk).
Dorf, Pirlo grow more useless every year. Sure when they're good they're great but the memory of those games are fading in the more recent memories of the shit they've done
At present our team:
---------X-------------
-X-Nesta-Silva-X-
-Ambro--Flam--X-
-Pato--X--Ron--
Subs:
Dida/Abbs
Abate/Anto
Bonera
Borriello
Dorf/Pirlo
X
X
The X denotes a player needed to make our team Great again. In essence, FIVE (5) great players are needed in the
FIRST team. If two come every year, one per mercato, starting with a cf/leftback then we'd be improving massively. One good player per mercato for the next two years then we could concentrate on augmenting our depth...that isn't too bad is it? Surely we don't need:
Zambro (sorry but you're useless without your old pace) asap
Kaladze (no explanation needed) asap
Gattuso ASAP
One of Dorf/Pirlo to go per year
One of Abbiati /Dida to go per year

BUT........now suddenly after ALL LEO'S F**KING hard work we want to cut Ronaldinho's salary
Is this not MADNESS? After he has improved to re-establish himself as one of the best attacking players in the WORLD we want to reward that with less money
. I was all for a wage reduction before but now the principle of punishing someone for doing well is abhorrent to me.
Sadly our route to improvement could be as simple as Madtherchot correctly stated...letting the pros do their job. Milan with Fabiano and Cissokho...(see re-enactment below)
(Leo: "gimme the players baby...I'll suck your dick
"
Berlu: "Sorry I've got someone doing already
" *click*
Leo: "boss? Boss?...."
)
...we might have even hoisted the scudetto thie year. Pato's and Nesta's loss wouldn't have hurt Nearly as much But even this is too much to ask Berlu
.
. 
I'm sure Anto could warm up to the role....maybe we'll have to put him on defrost 
and the season is over for us (it's been like that for the last 24 hours). And Milan existed several decades before Berlusconi bought it, and some before he was born, so your equation is very wrong.
