God damn it Galliani, why can't we sell IBra, Robinho, Didac, Taiwo, Paloschi, Mesbah instead of selling T. Silly? :(

I'd seriously also consider adding Mexes to the list considering his fat wages ...

Ibra, Binho, Taiwo, Mesbah, maybe even Pato (depending on the medical staff's assessment) gone will create a lot of funds and also help balance the fucking books!

If you think about it, Ibra alone is already about a third of the losses reported from last year (11m + tax = 22m. We were around 60-70m in the red). Add freekin Binho to that list (6-7m + tax = 13m ... total 35m) and thats half of the losses from last year!

With Monty earning way less than vb0ss (now I know why he cried :lol: *insert troll face*), and Gattuso, Nesta, Clarence, Zambro gone, we'll ALMOST break even!!!

I don't know why the fuck the management cannot see this, or am I missing something?

The funds generated from the sale of these players shouldn't go to bring in yet another crop of fat wage grandpa vb0sses :lol: or superstarzz ... this money should be invested in the youth and scouting departments, and vuala ... few years from now, we stand a chance of being the most dominant team in Europe once more with a young team mixed with a few experienced players (Silva, Monty, Antonini :proud:, Cassano, etc.).

Yes, why? Not even Ibra is needed!

Binho is 10-15mln player, Taiwo, Vila, Paloschi, Srasser, Merkel (half-deals...)

Its more then 20mln! Enough for Balzaretti and one GOOD CM.

Anyways guys the reason Seria A is so much crap now is because o the biggest teams like Milan becoming minnows of football. In the olden days like 10 years ago people like Pastore, Jovetic, Sanchez, Ramirez etc would have been snapped up by the Big teams. Now they are all headed abroad while the big teams lack elite European quality.

Milan is partly responsible for the decline of Seria A. The only way that stars in the making like Ramirez, Jovetic, Cavani, Asamoah, Isla etc remain in this league is if Juventus swoop in and buy them. We have become such a crappy side all that is left for u's to do is to sell any player with quality that we have to survive.. The milan of old would be snapping up these talents and improving the quality of our team.

Now we are evolving into a minnow and seria A along with it. This so called demise of Seria A would disappear overnight if Milan and Inter actually joined Juventus in adding quality players capable of challenging the elite in Europe. Milan is 3 starters away and Inter is like 2 or 4 starters away from being a top quality European team.

Instead we have become a small team looking to quickly sell the only two good players we have

what you mentioned are not "reasons" but rather mere consequences.

as for Juve, let's not overdo it - they have a good team and would add two good players with potential in Isla and Asamoah. However, they are also two players who would add depth but will not raise the level of quality the team already has - Isla could be an improvement, to an extent, at right wing-back over Lichtsteiner in the 3-5-2 in home games but that's about it and just because he can fill in at CM or LB too, that doesn't mean he is great at it and can fully replace an injured Vidal, for instance.
As for Asamoah, he is a rather one-dimensional player when it comes to his role on the field and cannot fully replace what Marchisio or Vidal bring to the team.

All in all, they both are largely unproven outside a mediocre serie A, which goes for this Juve as a whole, actually, and Juve would be paying a pretty penny for them too, some may even say overpaying.

Also, it's a very different proposition to play on multiple fronts, especially when your most important player is 33 yo already and very unlikely to still be able to handle two competitions at the same time. On top of that Pirlo is a very unique player, which makes him virtually irreplaceable for the style they are set for right now - one injury and they could well be in big trouble.

According to La Stampa and Corriere dello Sport the lawyers have already prepared all documents and Leonardo is waiting for a response.
Braida is already in talks with Palermo regarding Silvestre.
http://www3.lastampa.it/sport/sezioni/quimilan/articolo/lstp/458297/

so, in other words, in line with these papers' history of getting it right, TS will stay at Milan for at least one more season.

Just watch Berlusconi come out as the "savior" one more time after, following his heart at the price of a financial sacrifice, he stops TS' sale and wins the reverence of the populous :proud:

Its not the fact that we're not buying ... how can we buy when we're running on massive losses every year?

Its a combination of a lot of things such as:

1) Higher taxes on wages in comparison to Spain
2) :g: offering ridiculous wages to players who don't deserve them
3) Serie A switching to single TV Deal ala England/Germany. If La Liga were to follow suite, Madrid would be way in the red without their massive TV Deal.
4) Lack of any quality products from our youth ... and the little quality that comes from there not being given a legitimate chance.
5) FFP (even though this hasn't taken effect, and we still don't understand why Milan is readying itself while the likes of City and PSG are spending like crazy)
6) Dinho Superstarzzz and the other scam artists who looted Milan of millions Eg. Flamoney.

Only for Silva to go to Barca next summer for less :fp:

I think its quite obvious Allegri rates Zlatan as more important to the team than Silva, else he would have at least asked the management to let go of Zlatan and keep Silva.

agree.

it's like the movie indecent proposal. milan accepted PSG's indecent proposal so our relationship with silva is broken. he will leave sooner or later but when he does leave it will be for a lot less then what PSG are offering.

we should never have negotiated publicly the fact that we did means we have to sell.

if we are gonna sell I would rather sell to PSG then to barca. can you imagine how good barca would be with silva. :eek:

I think they wanted to sell him instead of Silva, but there are not so many options for him.
He doesn't want PSG and teams like Real and City really don't need him. Besides his salary is huge obsticle as well.

40 Million for Thiago is rip off. G doesn't seem to listen to me these days :) Carroll 30 +, Nino Torres 50. Oh dear G,I'm hurt. Not for the transfer but for the money. Should be 80+. I think I need a business degree.

What makes you think he didn't? What if he asked the management to keep both? The conclusions people draw on this site is laughable. No offense man but you don't have enough information to conclude that. Forza Milan!

True, thats a possibility. If he has no suitors, then we should seriously consider asking him to take a pay cut :o

Thought the Arabs like technical footballers ... but I guess Ibra isn't Brazilian enough.

True, we're all just speculating.

But if Silva is going for 42, you do realize that all we would need to do is sell Zlatan for 20m and we have 42m. If we can realize this, what about the management? Of course this is not considering the revenue generated from Zlatan's merchandise, but how much would that equate to? When Dinho was here, everyone was talking about merchandise revenue, yet no one was able to give me a ballpark figure.

Anyway, if we are selling Silva, then Allegri should have at least told the management that we'd be in the same situation sooner or later thanks in part to Zlatan's massive wages ... and letting Silva talk to prospective clubs would just make him want to earn much more.

This is kinda common sense in a way ... no point in pulling out of the deal now since the damage has already been done. Once you start something, finish it. Even more irritating that selling Silva is to sell Silva to pay Zlatan's wages :fp:

Ibra is good, but fuck that shit :o

You still don't seem to get my point. If you did then all the logic wouldn't be necessary. Forza Milan!

Alright, say I'm misinformed ... care to share the correct info?

Thought so ...

I'd like Anderson at Milan. No Hernanes, but certainly in the Sir Clarence Seedorf mold ...

Anderson can be brilliant as long as he stays fit. Seems unlikely though as they're looking for 15-18 million im guessing. G will offer loan with option to buy over 4 years for 5,5 million :p

Why? In a few weeks Barca will knock on his door and he won't say 'no' to them.

Why? Because I say so! Nawh Im pretty sure he wont go to Barca this summer. But your guess is as good as mine

Dedé's agent: "Vasco haven't received an official offer from Milan. We have been in contact with Milan, but not any official contact."
Dedé's agent: "Dedé's price? It's negotiable and my client wants wear the Milan shirt."
Dedé's agent: "Dedé has offers from English clubs, but it's not a given that Milan will make a bid for him if they sell Thiago Silva."

What a relief. The deal made no sense.

Losing the best CB in the world... especially one that has the anticipation/pace/technique to:

a) Make up for our poor FBs
b) Hold high defensive line to not stretch our poor midfield
c) Technique to move the ball up the pitch, bypassing our poor midfield

He's way more valuable to us than any club that has better fullbacks or midfield.

Plus 40M would buy us NOTHING. More than half would go to the budget. The rest wouldn't even be enough for the rip-off prices other clubs would demand (e.g. 25M for Dede!?)
