If they want to re-invest they wouldn't have sold our two best players; we sold them for money and will re-invest of course, but not all of them... maybe only 25% max

when did you turn into such a pessimistic guy

Am I? I'm optimistic in my thinking that we do not need to spend in order to be THAT competitive. Look at where we are now; we are doing well with efficiency in transfer. Even if we will only spend 25% of our transfer revenue, I still believe that it will be used smartly and effectively.

[Mystik]

What, in your opinion, is *that* competitive? I believe that my team is supposed to be able to mount a reasonable challenge for all trophies in all competitions that we are entered in. I don't think we could be competitive if we don't at least invest half of Ibra's and Thiago Silva's transfer fees.

Dzeko: I am not going to Milan. (calciomercato)

His agent did say a few days ago that the probability of Dzeko coming to Milan was 70%. Don't know what that number means.

I thought it was somebody purporting to be his agent? Either way, talk is cheap nowadays. Don't get your hope high/low because of it. Few weeks back Zlatan said he was happy at Milan and that if he learned anything with Barca it's that being happy is more important than all those money. And now Raiola claimed the transfer was born six months ago. Like i said, talk is cheap.

Guess that's where we should beg to differ. Right tactical selection could result something too. Of course I would be happy if more quality players arrive, but I think I can live with this squad.

Last season we challenged on all fronts; kicked out of Coppa and CL because of bad luck and lost Scudetto thanks to the combination of a series of morale-killing moment (injuries, lost to Barca and Jube by several injustices).

Apparently it was. damn.

I really should cut back my time spent on this silly season.

Great news on Mesbah!

MESBAH: "I thank all the teams that have been interested on me until today but my final decision is to stay at Milan"

MESBAH: "I feel well at Milan, here I'll also have the opportunity of being an starter"

Yea!

As mentioned earlier, it was someone falsely claiming to be his agent.

About Zlatan, don't be surprised if he was genuine when he spoke about being happy at Milan etc. Raiola on the other hand is an underhanded weasel that probably did set this whole situation up back in January. Zlatan's his most lucrative client and PSG are loaded, so kissing Leo's (another weasel) backside whilst setting up Maxwell to go there and convincing Zlatan to move probably earned him a massive cut. That doesn't mean Zlatan's some innocent child, he's still as big a mercenary as anyone out there.

Raiola's also constantly speaking ill of Serie A now, basically talking up PSG's project where he can line his pocket with more cash than he knows what to do with.

Why is Ibrahimovic so close to Maxwell? It is almost funny that any player would change team for that reason (again and again too).

A little like Panucci following Capello around from Milan to Real Madrid to Roma, but at least that was coach/player.
