And this is one of the "better" clubs from last season. Wow.
Italian football is really becoming joke. I hope Juve pulls their **** together.
We need strong clubs in Europe.

Why do we need strong clubs in Europe? I mean we here is Milan. Except number clubs that play in CL, what benefit Milan will get if strong clubs from Italy exist in Europe?

Even without Galliani's words it's obvious that a weak league will impact us catastrophically in the long run. Weak league -> lower coefficients -> less spots in Europe -> less revenue for clubs -> less money to spend by clubs -> less players wanting to go to Italy, etc.

We already starting to see this. No need to look into the future.
+ We will arrive in this state straight into the new financial fair play rules in 2012, meaning that Berlu will no longer be able to bail us out even if he wants to.
We will have to do with the money we generate, which as far as we can see now is - 0.
Having a strong league means more money. Even if you look at Liga, as some of you pointed out there are only two teams, but they do have better TV revenue across the world than Serie A. I would say, EPL is byfar the most successful league when it comes to generating income around the world. Follow by Liga and the German league(mainly due to its schedule). Then you have Serie A, but mainly due to Juve and Milan being great back in the late 80s, early 90s and to some extend Milan a few yrs back. Personally, unless teams in Serie A teams begin to sign popular/great players, they will just keep falling behind EPL, Liga, German and even the French.
I am enjoying the Fabregas rumor especially from 'insiders'. Even Milan don't get him, but following the rumor is more enjoying than reading a novel. Big Grin

What funny is, reading info that Galliani was angry because the 'leak' of Fabregas. LOL

that's not really that funny if it's true... if the source indeed is close to Galliani then I would be pissed too if I were Galliani....

btw - Udinese just drawed Arsenal in the CL qualifiers... just great for Italian football....

Yeah Hitman. I also read your comments and makes sense too. Big Grin

Wow, Udi and Arsenal. But could they do better if the opponent is one of: Bayern, Lyon, Benfica and Villareal?
What is all this news about insiders and Galliani being angry about leaks?

What leak? Nothing significant leaked out to my knowledge Devilol

It's probably "holiday time milan fan #1" making stuff up, posting it on facebook, twitter, ect as insider info, and then "holiday time milan fan #2" posting some more made up insider info about Galliani being mad on the non-existent leaked info. And meanwhile Galliani sleeping peacfully at home, knowing nothing about it at all Smile

In the next step, we should be hearing insider info about Berlusconi beign mad at Galliani, for getting angry at the leak, thus betraying Milan's intention on the market Big Grin
