Seems as though we'll go for Bosingwa, not Alves. Alves will stay with Barca IMO.

Still not sure what we'll do for CB, I'm not sure Milan knows yet what they want to do.

Lastly, regarding this issue of Taxes, please explain this to me. Milan pay a player €5 Million per year, and they must then pay €5 Million in taxes to the government?? That doesn't even make any sense, and I don't know why anyone in Italy would ever tolerate that... Every worker you hire you have to pay that salary in taxes to the government? For what? Who could afford to run a business in Italy then?

I'm very confused as I've heard people say this on the boards many times, but it makes zero sense. So let's just say Milan pays €40 Million per year to their players, they must also spend that same amount in taxes. That doesn't sound like an incentive for businesses to hire workers, it actually sounds completely retarted. Hope someone can explain this...thanks

EDIT: If it is in fact true, then I now understand why Berlusconi and Italian teams in general have been reluctant to spend money the past few years.. however, Berlusconi is the President so maybe he can change this ridiculous law...
