Just because I have faith in a long term policy doesn't mean I have to agree with every aspect of it. Are you telling me they are infallible and somehow every move they make is the right one?? I certainly don't think so. They've made some great decisions so far as a management group and some mistakes as well. I truly believe not making a small investment this mercato will come back to haunt us.If you don't have faith in the current policy that's ok. I ask you why? The current policy has brought us back to the top four in Serie A with young talents that are developing. We've stayed in the top four, even while facing a huge injury crisis.
I think you're easily spoiled and don't have the patience it takes to get back to the top of Europe. There are no shortcuts.

See above.
Miss top4 this year and watch project being reset as Theo Leao leave.
Wait for better deals for Botman and Sanches and watch bidding wars in summer.
Other clubs want good players too! This plan is nothing unique.
It seems so for us, at the back of last lost decade. For others its normal business.
Define "playing"Castillejo saga is going to serves a warning for “overextend a little bit to win Scudetto”.
Fans can hate him all they want but to get paid playing with Ibra, Theo, Rebic or get paid less playing with mid table fodder, choice is pretty clear.
I would. Why did ppl get mat at Giroud for that chance he had? Maybe if he did better he still wouldn't have scored but at least he gave it a shot.So, if we invested and didn't win shit, and just became Napoli, then what?
I'm sure all the fans would just shrug and be like "oh okay, can't complain now."

Sevilla bought Martial to keep pace with Real Madrid.
They are in more or less the position we are in, just a couple points behind.
Real have been fairly consistent but if they slip up Sevilla will pounce, if not, at least they went for it.
I have no idea why every scenario automagically turns to Napoli in your world.
It's a comparison. I'm not sure how you wouldn't see it as a crushing failure, because if "winning is everything" then you'd imagine that Napoli's folly in winning Serie A would be seen as some monumental failure.I have no idea why every scenario automagically turns to Napoli in your world.
Which is more likely....to miss out on top 4 with this squad as we are or to miss out on top 4 with Faivre and Botman?How is it so hard for you to understand that you can only spend your money once?! If we would get a plan B defender and lose out on top 4, we would be in big trouble. A plan B defender could also stand in the way of other promising players like Kalulu. Maldini has judged the situation and won't risk to lose money on plan B, while we have four defenders in our squad.

The difference I think between our positions is that you think Milan's ability to win titles is perilous, and I don't. You're acting as if Milan will never be able to get back here.
Last year most of you thought we'd be mid-table, that we'd be behind everyone. We weren't. This year was supposed to be some insurmountable challenge in Serie A with Allegri, and Mourinho, and oh my! Sarri!
I dunno, if we don't make top four, I'll be sad, crushed, upset, and angry. But I don't think it would spell the end our project or our quest to win. Progress is not linear.

Would be cool, hope fans give him support and time.Lazetic will learn a lot from Giroud and Ibra an Marco Van Basten video tapes.
He's gonna be a beast in no time.

Also I have no idea what you mean by the bold. Spend your money once? WTF does that mean
We only have error prone defenders Kalulu, Gabbia and Romagnoli with Tomori and Kjaer injured
Tomori will take time to get back in the groove. Kjaer is out for the season.
Rebic has been injured a lot this season. iBra as well. Then there's covid.
If Leao gets injured you'll see just how much we'll struggle
If you think our present attack is enough to make it over the finish line, I really hope you are right.

So you answered 0 of my questions. Interesting.Most defenders are error prone. We can't afford elite defenders with experience, so we have to deal with errors. Making errors is what helps a player to grow. Tomori is out right now, but a partnership between Kalulu and Romagnoli has to suffice until he returns. Even Tomori made some errors last season while he was adjusting to the league. No one expected him not to, but we accepted them as we saw him grow. I am more than willing to watch Kalulu develop and stumble here and there in the meantime. It doesn't mean it will cost us top four. I have faith in him.
We are improving, but still on a tight budget. If your budget doesn't allow big purchases, you have to be critical of every move. Spending 10 million now on option B, means spending 10 million less on option A in the summer.

Which question didn't I answer?
Same likliness as Vlahovic and Zakaria going to Juve and still not making top 4.Which is more likely....to miss out on top 4 with this squad as we are or to miss out on top 4 with Faivre and Botman?

i like his full package. still very young so still very far. finishing is 1 thing that can greatly develop with time (it's already not bad). but his all around game, i like.Lazetic will learn a lot from Giroud and Ibra an Marco Van Basten video tapes.

Don't agree with that at all. I am not so confident in a top 4 finish as you are because we will continue having the same issues. Our injury crisis will not magically go away because you wish for it, see the last 2 years. When you rely on 35 and 40 year old strikers to lead the attack, injuries tend to get worse not better the deeper you are in the year. But regardless of that, I don't see an investing moderately right now as hindering our summer mercato, I see it as securing a top 4 finish that will allow us to invest even more in the summer. Guaranteeing a top 4 finish now for me is far more crucial than anything, it gives us more options in the summer. Good luck making any kind of move this summer if somehow we don't make top 4.What is it that you don't agree with? We don't have the money we need to buy the player we want right now. We also have to deal with clubs in the middle of the season. Of course they don't want to see their best players leave in winter. Going for a small investment, option B is what I call it, is something we can't afford. Going for option B now, means no option A in the summer.
I for one am not worried at all about finishing in the top four. It seems a lot of you are pissing your panties while we have been grinding points during an injury crisis. We will make UCL and we will strengthen further in the summer.
