Summer mercato 2012

[Gabriel426]

1. Berlu will not invest the money, as we could all stop dreaming about Tevez, Dezko...as replacements.
2. I think Cassano, Robinho and Boateng will most likely be gone. That should be another 100mil save.
3. Berlu and Galli are just jokes, simple as that.

Like a lot of you, I had been a long time Milan supporters, come to think of it, I had been supporting Milan since 1988-9, thats almost as long as Berlu has been running the club. Even the dark ages(mid 90s-early 00s), I had never gave up hope and my support for Milan. However, this is very different, as I never seen Milan opening say they are poor and their players being available at any given price.

I am actually looking forward to the beginning of new season, just so that we could throw all the summer madness behind. Of course, if we don't reinvest properly, once the new season starts, I am afraid that I would be hoping that the season be over as quickly as possible.

Just be clear, you are counting Silva twice, right?

---

Yeah, I just try to anticipate what could be coming out from Berlu's filthy mouth (if those two stay in the end) . Unfortunately, that's how low he's been treating us, Milan fans

---

btw, is it officialised yet?

nothing will be officialised until tommorow where another meeting will take place apparently in the morning to finalise or not finalise the deal according to milannews sourced from sky

No wonder there aren't riots in the streets of Milan right now. Well, I expect that we will see them soon enough.
Maybe Someone should burn Berlu's house down.

Milan is officially a closed chapter for many fans now. Milan had 2 world class players, but Milan has 0 world class players now. Berlusconi sold them last night.

Offcially Milan not a top club anymore.

Galliani will say that Milan will win CL this season, with same kind of injuries of last season, we could see Milan in Serie B.

im thanking God that Bayern has Kaiser and Rummenige, they are intelligent man, Everyone says that Galliani is the best CEO. However a Geo, who increased Milan's revenue by %9 in 7 years. (lowest among top clubs)

Galliani is one of the worst CEO's in the world. He ruined Milan with high wages and champions policy. He can enjoying survive in Serie A with ex champions.

Call back Gattuso, Van Bommel, Oddo, Kaladze, İnzaghi, Seedorf.

i wont watch Milan's game anymore, not even my second team. im finished with this guys, who always lied to me and you.

10-15 Days ago. Thank you President, we keep Silva and now he sold them.

Yeah, He needs money for Bunga Bunga. Serie A is finished for me. the most loved championship for me. im not with this losers anymore.

Great post.

They say that Galliani is one of the best Milan didnt cheat but Milan got fined thanks to him, during Calciopoli case.

He manages to get fined without bringing anything to them. He just cancer to Milan.

Support Bayern Milan fans.

so total this mercato we made 3 great signings, didnt we? not bad..

I may sound like a broken record, but even from a pure financial perspective, selling Silva and Ibrahimovic while keeping Robinho and Mexes (and Pato too, in a way) is in no way the best solution that we could have.

I am sure that if Galliani has the ball to sell Ibrahimovic or lower his salary, and get rid of other second-tier earners (those with net 4Mil per year), and leave Silva alone and untouched, all would have been solved smoothly. I could not imagine that Silva or his agent would even demand a raise a few months after his recent renewal. Boateng probably would keep his mouth shut too.

And they had to sell Silva.

Poor Acerbi came to play with the world's best defender, and who knows, he may become Milan's best defender in the new season along with Bonera. I wonder what is going through his mind now.

Do you remember what i told you on another forum weeks ago?

i made some jokes but they were some realites there as well.

I think I am going to cut back on the time spent following this silly rumor. Seriously.

@abbeyleemania: I respect your decision (after all, it is yours), but I will not leave my team. I don't care if B&G runs it back to Serie B, I will always support Milan and hope for the better.

[am I Milan enough?]

Manutd close in on Lucas, while Chelski on Oscar.

at leat it has something to do with mercato (as per topic)

Nope, actually, the company pays taxes, but the employee also pays taxes. Well, in France, it is this way. Everybody pays taxes !!
The main part of these taxes is paid for the retirement (people get paid when they retire from their job - this money is paid by the workers) and other things ...
PS : sorry, I edit my post, I'm tired and I'm writing stupid things ...

That's a good thing, but the problem is that the ECB, (And all Central Banks around the World) print tons of money over the course of a person's working life, and by the time they get to the age of retirement, their money is diluted by years of money printing (it's worth a lot less).

Nevermind about that, as it's neither here nor there, but the bottom line is that we're in big trouble. Part of it is years of bad management by Galliani, over-paying Senators unnecessarily (who would not have left anyways), and the other big problem was the 500 MILLION EURO fine to Fininvest. Since then we went from signing Mister X (Hamsik), to having to turn into a selling team. The 50% wages put on the players which Milan has to pay has also made it tough on our expenses. The Government should want small taxes on the teams, so they can then invest in Stadiums, good players, etc. which will make fans come out to the games, which will in turn help the whole economy out... Don't they know this?

Or tax even more the very high wages to get even more money from them (you talk as a fan, I talk as someone who would think football is not the priority) ...
One problem, two solutions (both would probably not work nowadays in Italy actually).

I don't know how this whole crisis will end, what the clubs will do, but the tendancy in Serie A for the teams who developped some talents is to sell one or two of them in a big foreign club paying huge amount of money.

Looks like the solution the presidents of the Serie A clubs found (Pastore to PSG, Lavezzi to PSG, Sanchez to Barcelona, ...).

Relax guys, this hasnt got to be the end, we got money now, saved A LOT on wages, not only Ibrahimivic and Silva's BIG wages but also the expensive old guard is all gone.
So we can (MUST) expect something now on the transfer market. There should be many things possible now.
Also remember Ibrahimovic will be 31 this year, this is the last time we could've got money for him. (25m) and we sold Silva for 40m, wich is also good money;

Now the most important thing of all this is not that we lost 2 players but who we will buy in return. I'm expecting at least 4 starters!! We could come up stronger as a team, as in attack our team was way too one dimensional witch Ibrahimovic. This will also be good for Pato!

Rumours also say Mesbah will probably gone to Torino, maybe in a deal with Ogbonna? as we refused the Marseille offer for him.
And Taye Taiwo got an agreement with Benfica, dunno what they wanna pay for him.
And according to reports from Brazil Santos is interested in Robinho again, if we could also sell him we have even more money to spend, he's also nearing 30 and isnt one of our most important players, we got Cassano and El Shaarawy so.

as for transfers:
Ogbonna & Astori or Dede (wich seems difficult now as he just renewed his contract and his buy out clause gone up)
Sahin or Verratti
Lucas or Jovetic
Dzeko or Destro

I'm just trowing in some interesting names. Key is to spend it one players who are yet to reach their prime, players age 20-25. Not older players with big wages and who's market value will go down soon.

Strasser and Mesbah (official for him) should play in Torino next season.
Taiwo could leave to Benfica.
Robinho could go back to Santos.
Cassano could go back to Samp.

For moment, there's little things allowing fans to be optimistic. The players who could leave are closer to leave than the players who could come.

PS : But I agree our team play could be better with the right additions in our team ... My main concern though is our defence, which looks like a mid-table defence now.
