When the chips are down, you need to cut your loses and run! With the performances from Europe's top club worse than a club from a third division, the only plausible answer to fix the team for the future is sell some players.
The mindset and the atmosphere at the club is that of a wanting to sleep giant. Milan has indeed out performed so many clubs in the past 5 years, with very little silverware though, that I think it is time to send the players to find a new place to earn their livings. If you look at the team, there are a lot of players that are Champion's League winners, or/and World Cup winners atleast once. the only players giving it all on the pitch are the one that haven't achieved these awards. I for one believe that Kaka is leading the pack, with Gourcuff. They too haven't been exceptionally brilliant or anywhere near it as their performances depend upon the rest of the team.
Recently, Milan made the signings of Massimo Oddo from Lazio, Leonardo Grimi and Ronaldo from Real Madrid. Alot of our star players also extended their contract before the winter break, and only a few days have gone since Dida pledged till 2010.
I want to start this thread to ask you people to select players, not single player, but players that need to be transfer out of the team, and someone else to be brought in their place to help revive the team for the future, so we might challenge Europe after a good two years.
I think, the following players should be sold or asked to retire after the season, leaving aside the retire with favorite club thingie;
Valerio Fiori
Zeljko Kalac
Alessandro Costacurta
Paolo Maldini
Serginho
Favalli (wow, what a signing!)
Dario Simic
Massimo Ambrosini (great headers, but very sparse)
Andrea Pirlo (great set-piece dude, but has to go)
Clarence Seedorf (great career, but has to go)
Fillipo Inzaghi
Marco Borriello
Ricardo Oliviera
I know I will be tossed with a lot of shit, and bad words, but I really want the club to move forward from the 2-1 drubbing at Inter's hand. Inter might be making a million signings a year but this year they are reaping the fruits of transfering or benching non-performers at the same time.
