Milan could buy Strootman & Loan Sahin, if Real Madrid allows the offer of Loan w/Option to Buy.
Milan interested in signing Tymoschuk on Free Bosman.
Lastly, Valencia have offered 6M for Didac Vila, and Milan are apparently willing (it would be a quick profit).

Apparently the Sheikh is ready to buy shares of Milan and also invest in a new stadium immediately...
Wishful speculation at this point surely? I think this story originally ran in Corriere..? I will believe it when I see it.

Yes Hasan it was in Corriere, which means you're right, it's Highly likely it is Bullshit. Nonetheless I wanted to post some positive news in a sea full of oil and radiation
Let's say you have like enough to spend to pay for Milan....would you spend that large chunk of money just to be a minority partner? I know I would not. Honestly, Berlu will probably have to die in order for Milan to have an owner who can send endlessly.

If I were a billionary, I wouldn't mind giving 100M to Milan to be a minor part of the ownership (but helping the club this way) ...
The difference between them and me ?
I'm a fan of Milan and if I were very rich, I could give some money to my lovely club, while they're not necessarely fans of Milan and would use the club as a way to enter in Italy (sports and finances, then medias, etc) ...
That's probably why you're right ...
I will get burned for saying this, but I'm proud to have Berlusconi as our president. He won't spend? As I said, I'm proud to have a club I supported, which do not throw money endlessly. Chelsea threw 36M for Hazard, I'd have to work for 2100 years to get that amount of money (which means approximately since the time of Jesus until now, can you imagine).
I might be wrong, but if Inter are looking to build their own stadium then surely there's a better possibility of us gaining full ownership of the San Siro? Legge Crimi, which is the law that clubs want passed for stadium ownership isn't in force yet as far as I'm aware. However, that doesn't mean clubs can't negotiate with the council about ownership of the stadium. It is known the Berlusconi family wants the San Siro invested in to modernise it for the 2015 CL final (I might have the year wrong here) and I'm sure the club would rather gain full ownership of the San Siro than have to build another stadium. With Inter out of the picture, that means the situation is a little less complicated.
That isn't for me to say that we can get the stadium, as the council will inevitably lose revenue, but what it could mean is we're in a stronger bargaining position now, and that maybe we're not working on building a new stadium because we're working on full ownership of the San Siro. Our leadership isn't full of idiots who wouldn't have thought of building a new stadium from the start and maybe this could explain it.

Use Silva as EXAMPLE, if Milan sells him for 50mil. Milan reinvest that money into Dede, Strootman and Hernanes. Is Dede better than Silva, ofcourse not, but Strootman is better than anyone in the current Milan who plays DM, while Hernanes is the most creative midfielder than all of Monty, Nocerino, Muntari, Boateng and Taoare combined. Another example would be the point of signing Taoare if Milan has all the intention in resigning Gattuso, Slowdorf and Flamini. Imagine Flamini and Slowdorf both agreed to stay with Milan, the Milan mid will have Boateng, Nocerino, Muntari, Flamini, Monty, Taoare, Slowdorf, Gattuso, Ambro and Strausser/Urby. While Nocerino, Taoare, Flamini, Strausser, Gattuso and Muntari are pretty much the same type of players and at the same level give or take. Of course, once Gattuso, Slowdorf and Flamini leaves for sure and Strausser gets send out to another team, Taoare is needed but whats the point of getting him if you have all the intention of resigning the departing players.
MY 3rd point, I think you might have misunderstood me. What I am essentially saying is that teams with lack of financial power should stop investing on players who they hope will turn into some superstars. Rather they should concentrate on players who got talents and would excel in their system. Of course, all teams wish they could sign someone for minimal and he turns into Messi. Anyhow, of the players you listed, only Boateng came under 10mil. While Silva came around 11, Pato was 18, SES was 20, while Abate and Antonini were youth.
I am saying that when Milan bought these players, their price justify their level of play at that time, except for Pato and SES. Having said that, I don't think SES cost Milan any money, b/c it was a pure exchange with Merkel.
Point is, clubs like Milan should spend money on talents due to lack of funding. Senderous and Papa cost Milan 7-8mil in transfer while Bonera, yes Bonera is a much better defender than both of them. That leads back to my 2nd point, who did they improve? Senderous certainly was worse than Gouch and Bonera was better than Papa. Therefore, if the total transfer is available is 8mil, then this club should get someone who is at 8mil who can improve the squad rather than spend them on 3 players who might become the next so and so.
Very fair points, I can't say there's anything I really disagree with here.

You do know that Berlu pretty much broke the World transfer fee record yr in and yr out back then. On top of that, Berlu used to buy the best player from the team who knocked Milan out in CL. Don't say that Berlu did not threw money away like Roman bc he was much worse. True that 8mil might not be a huge sum now, but it was back in the late 80s.
