I'm afraid we're going to have to wait 2-3 years before any success like Barbara said. If ever there was a time to invest it would be now and we haven't. This is the 3rd year running where we've barely spent a penny. People say we paid 12m for Matri but forget that was covered by Boateng's sale. All this talk about getting back into CL and we hired a rookie coach and a bunch of free transfer rejects.
The only logical conclusion is Milan's investing 'transfer money' into youth (players/scouts/coaches/facilities) and special projects (Casa Milan/stadium). This bodes well for the clubs long term future but obviously not now. It's also interesting most signings have been either late 20's/early 30's. I'd expect these players to be nearing the end of their career in 2-3 years when we start promoting youth.
