He joined Juve in 2010 and won 3 scudetto's so overwhelmingly got things right. It's not only the WC free transfers but also buying players like Barzagli/Chiellini/Vidal at knockdown prices. That and getting Galliani to pay for Tevez plus 2m
Anyway, unlike most people I think it's been another horrible mercato. We've hired another rookie unproven coach and picked up numerous unwanted rejects (Lopez, Rami, Armero, Torres, Van Ginkel). Also our *star* signing's been playing for ATALANTA his whole career! Is this what Silvio + Barbara meant when they said "we're starting a new cycle" + "need to get back into CL ASAP"?! Face it we've got the worst run club in Serie A
You say Face it like I havent.I know its horribly run.Im also under the opinion that the will not get back to UCL as long as B&G are here ,unless the squad clicks 50X what people expect and others have a shocker.
Milan is a big club in 2014 only in name and past success.It is not a big club in 2014.While im no fan of PSG City Man Utd Real Barca spending the fact is they spend more regularly on 1 player than Milan do in 5 years.
Juve didnt get Chiellini at a knockdow price or Vidal they got them at market Value for the time ,but Milan cant pay €12m for a Vidal ,I was shocked when they signed Bonaventura I MEAN TOTALLY WIDE EYED SHOCKED...Shows my exoectations which are 0.I truely believe as long as the clib solidifies Serie A status may EL qualification MGT/Owners will be content...And yes it was a poor mercato over the hill or average players.The plus part of the mercato was getting rid of Kaka Binho Matri Noce Silvestre Urby Amelia ...that really was the best.
But I have no doubt it will be quite a few years without UCL football....BTW there is no "new cycle" never was never will be as long as we are run and owned by the same regime.
