Only thing that makes me nervous is the all italian team. Could an all italian team really challenge Barcelona, Real Madrid and etc. I highly doubt it. I find it funny though, after making that statement he talks about how amazing Shev was. You got to have other nationalities integrated to make a WC team

Why would you believe that Milan will only have Italian players?
That's just Grande Silvio beating the nationalist drum. He is always in PR mode.

Locatelli's agent: "Since he was 16 he has been a target of several big European clubs. The scouts of these top clubs consider Manuel as one of the best talents in Europe.

"Everyday offers arrive for him, but he is happy to stay at Milan. In Milan for the next 20 years? We hope so.""

Haven't seen much of this kid but I really hope he makes it with us.

I still remember the time when members rated Calvano, Verdi, Valoti, Fossati, Modic, Mastalli. Merkel, Cristante and Strasser too, but at least they played sometimes with us.

Sad none of those guys are able to make it with us.

Well, see. This is what gives me hope and think he's actually good. Hopefully he doesn't turn out to be shit.

Berlusconi · Feb 19, 2016

A pair of Italian politicians are captured by a fierce African tribe and tied to poles. A tribal leader says to one of the Italians: ?You, do you want to die or bunga bunga?? The politician chooses the second option.

But bunga-bunga turns out to mean forced intercourse.
?All the warriors in the village did him,?

The tribal leader then approaches the second Italian and asks the same question.

The terrified Italian says: ?I?d prefer to die.?
The tribesman replies: ?Fine, you will die, but first let?s do some bunga bunga!?

Well, it serves a political purpose, especially at a time when a good chunk of Europe fears, rightly or wrongly, rationally or absurdly, that its demographic is irreversibly changing.

Setting Milan against teams that are teeming with foreigners as the bastion of Italian players and identity is actually a very potent image and idea that Berlusconi is cynically exploiting.

But leaving all of that aside...if a Locatelli or a Donna needs the limelight to take that next step, why shouldn't Milan adopt a policy that cultivates homegrown talent? Cheap, instantly likeable by the Italian fans etc.

I am an Azzurri fan, so I love the fact that we have so many Italians in our ranks. But it also makes sense from a business perspective too.

But like others have said, it won't entirely be Italian, so this is bit of a moot point...

Next complaint will be about how we didn't win the champions league by 3 goals but only 2

It's a statement that can potentially bring more people to the stadium

Berlusconi: I changed football a bit along with Sacchi. I asked Capello to return, but he had other ideas.

Berlusconi: "Bee? We made a concrete and interesting proposal which covers restaurants, football schools and merchandising. The plan could guarantee us 100m per year from China and other countries in the Middle East. It's important for us to market the brand to compete with other teams that have important economic resources coming from oil. Mr Bee role? He would only be responsible of the part related to marketing, while the sporting part will remain to us. Bacca? He is a good and mature guy. He is a ruthless finisher. Many times he is out of the game because Milan does not practice how to be the masters of the field. For this we are talking with the coach. Bacca was a good acquisition and when he gets the ball he hardly does a mistake. Ibrahimovic? He is a player who can win the games, he has won in all the teams. I believe he will have important offers from UAE, USA or China that we won't manage to match. Inzaghi? I gave him confidence as a coach, but maybe he was not ready. His Milan was unable to challenge opponents who hold the ball .I told him many times. There are cycles that end. We're starting as a team with Italians. I would like to see an all-Italian Milan. We have Italian defence and midfield, we lack only attackers. (Pavoletti comming I think ) We are focused on young players: there are 6 with Locatelli, I see him as the new Pirlo. Donnarumma is 16 years and he will not leave Milan if any offer arrive, he will be the keeper of Milan for the next 20 years. He is very solid physicaly, and in character and I think he can become a Milan symbol in the future."

He basically confirmed Vazquez and Tonelli, imo.

I think our 1998 generation is more talented than those guys were.

Locatelli, Llamas, De Santis, La Ferrara, and Mihael Modic were very good pickups from our scouts and I hope they are able to reach their potential in the first team.

Berlusconi: "I almost signed Maradona, but he had become Napoli's captain and I don't buy other teams' captains. Just like my attempt to sign Totti. Nesta, however, was only signed when he was put on sale."

its very obvious that berlu really wants vazquez

1. he has italian mother argentina father and has italian passport
that means berlu would actually have a really good italian for his ital milan project..too good to pass up
2. best trequarista in serie a ? ATTACARE

We've signed plenty of older players in Berlu's time.

Really, no other captains?

MarioReality · Feb 19, 2016
