The problem is that if you value Zlatan at around 25, which I think is a fair valuation, we will effectively sell Silva for 40 milion which is around 10 milion less then what PSG originally offered us. Now that is just pure bad business no matter how you look at it.
Altough I agree on your points regarding Zlatan you got also take in account what if would cost us getting rid of the two players that have been so fundamentaly important. My honest opinon is that there is a real risk that Milan would not reach the UCL next season, which would in Milans case would be nothing short of disaster. Im not opposed to selling Zlatan cause of the reasons you pointed out. However losing your main source for goals and your two starting CB is something that very few teams can go through and still have an honest chance of being a comptitive side. That would require an extremly adaptive organisation that is well managed. These are two words that you cant use to describe the current Milan mangemant
Right, so some of my related thoughts -
1. I strongly believe that Berlusconi is looking to sell the club. For getting a good value for an asset like Milan, it is important to get rid of the debt and have a reasonably attractive wage list etc. Otherwise, no one would want to buy the club.
2. I dont think the current Milan side, with Allegri as the coach is good enough to win the CL. And for me, that's the main aim of this club every season and it should be.
3. Considering 1 and 2, we are sort of being forced to rebuild the side this season. Zlatan's, Silva's value will probably drop every year from now, and Berlusconi wont have a better chance to clear the debt than right now. From a team perspective, rebuilding with a balanced midfield makes complete sense to me.
4. Zlatan is the main source of goal, simply because we dont have a plan B that does not depend on him. I've said this before. Our plan B is Nocerino which ironically depends on Zlatan holding the ball and assisting him in the penalty box. So Zlatan hogging such a large percentage of our goals + assists stats is not necessarily a good thing for the balance of the side. We need plans B and C.
5. PSG originally offered us 42 million Euros for Silva.
