Summer Mercato 2016

[Jay Crisp]

Please remove Kucka from that lineup. You're not gonna spend 90mil to still have Kucka as a starter!

Okay...Xhaka

[nefremo]

^ much better!

Our succesful summer mercato is complete by the signing of wonderful Athlete Riccardo Montolivo.

Montolivo, who is an italian olympic champion on the 6km slow-walking and six times national chamion on running into other people, commented that he was utmost confused: " I do not understand why Galliani keeps asking for my signature. He keeps calling me every week to sign an extension while I try to convince him that I am not even a football player. No matter what I try, he will not leave me alone. I just signed the contract out of irritation, hoping that he would leave me alone."

Galliani on the other hand feels that Montolivo will fit in quite well with Milan's new strategy " I believe that, now that I have become older, it has become increasingly difficult to follow the game. So that is why I want to put Riccardo in the team. He is easier to follow. My agent friend who is also Montolivo's agent, advised me that Montolivo, while currently not that talented, can grow out to be the next messi. Of course, I moved in for the kill and gave him another 3 year contract so that we can secure his pricy yet unequivocal talent."

I am so happy that we have secured a 31 year old liability for another 3 years in true bonera fashion! Seriously though, we wouldn't even give maldini more than a 1 year extension.

Grande Campion Montolivo. I am so happy club have extended his contract. He has filled Pirlo's shoes amazingly. Truly the Italian Xavi. Grazie Presidente. Grazie Galliani. We are fine as we are.

Truth be told, I am not overly concerned about anything the club is doing right now. Be it extending Monto or hiring new coach, getting sixth place or whatever. The reality is, the only thing that matters to us right now is the sale of the team. If the team is sold, we have a chance to rebuild this team into something at least resembling the old glory days. No new investor would come in and allow this team to just continue its sinking ways and lose 90M every year. If we are not sold, however, we are screwed no matter what happens. Just keep our fingers crossed that we are going to get some good news on the sales front soon.

I read some rumors that Juventus is getting James Rodriguez for 40M. Maybe Juventus can dominate for another 5-10 years.

Can't we try to get him? I suppose Milan has 40M.

40M will be used to get Feilanni

Even if we have 40mil....we'll probably sign Balotelli for 10 + 10 for Raiola. Than we'll add some crap like Fellaini like edysim said, and there you go.

40 mil is a good price for James. I always thought that he was not worth what Real paid for him, but a good player nonetheless. Players of his stature and popularity easily go for much more than that these days. Either way, Juventus will get stronger. They really want an attacking mid and they've been linked to every single one out there. Pastore, Mykhitaryan, Isco, James, you name it! Not sure which reports are true, and maybe all of them are! It seems like they can easily spend 60+ mil without selling Pogba too...which will be great for them.

As for us...man I feel like a fat kid in a candy shop when I think of the possibly of what we can do if this Chinese investment really comes through. There are really a lot of quality players out there that can be bought this summer. The question is if we are actually going to be interested in the right players! I have very little confidence of that happening with Galliani still in charge!

[am I Milan enough?]

40M will be useless as long as Galliani is around. He'll spend 12M for Pavoleti, the rest for Feilanni,
rather than putting a lil bit more efforts to find some talented players in South America that cost 6-7M (but will still develop) but that way, he will still screw big time because he will get us Vergharra like players? That baldy is simply useless.

[millinarios]

Probably he is capable of pulling off another last minute "Kuco" miracle deal too.
