It's not that Galliani doesn't have the money because he does. The problem is he wastes it all on useless or ageing players. E.g. renewing Muntari for 6m gross covered by Cristante's sale. Wasting 12m on Matri who only lasted 1/2 season and we're still paying 1/2 his wages!
A more recent example is signing Diego Lopez. Lopez had a great league run with RM last season but before that was just a good player. RM decided they no longer wanted him and signed a backup GK with Casillas starting. So what does Galliani do? He offers a 2.5m salary 4 year contract to a soon to be 33year old! That's 5m gross per year or 20m over the whole contract.
For the same total cost we could've bought Perin (transfer fee + wages) and had a GK for the next 15 years. Perin's young, Italian, Milanista wanted by Bayern Munich and made Italy's WC squad.
We've got the worst GM in football and are a laughing stock.
