As quoted from what Andrea Pirlo said on www.acmilan.com:
"I also make them a promise: next year we will have many objectives: Serie A, the Champions League, the Club World Cup, the European Supercup, and the Coppa Italia. If we are united WE CAN TAKE THEM ALL."

Winning all these 5 competitionss? Definitely, we will be fighting in all fronts, and then, we'll see if this Pentable dream can turn out to be true.

Forza Milan!

Well 2 of those cups combined together have a total of 3 matches so it isn't exactly a "pentable" but it could be considered one!

To compete in all of them we would need depth, majoooor depth. Something we dont have much of right now.

With a couple of good signings it could happen (though very unlikely). Key factor I think is when Pirlo said that the squad will be motivated and hungry when they get back together in 10 days.

I think as hard as last season was, the players really got a bite back in their game that had been lacking in the last couple of years (where we had technically superior squads). I hope that this same spirit and determination is carried into the new season.

Theoretically possible but ONLY with some good signings like 2 before mentioned. Practically, we can write coppa italia off, and to win both CL and scudetto is almost too good to be true.

we need more depth in our midfield, seems like ibrahim ba will join us. if it is true then we need to buy one more midfielder and one striker.

Unless Ba has turned into a great winger in the twilight of his career, i can't see him offering us anything of worth to the squad.

We won't win all those competitions because the squad will (a) start slowly as it always does in the first half of the season and (b) the key players will play far too many games and our squad isn't strong enough to cope without them.

completely agree. the current squad has not enough depth to cope with all this games. first 11 is still great and inferior to no one but the rest is at best mediocre.

coppa: no chance we win it as only subs will play there

cl: probably our best chance again, but you need a lot of luck and chances are slim we have it twice in a row.

serie a: we couldn' t win it last year and i see no difference this year, small teams will kill us again.

Club World Cup: don't know, possible but like in any knockout tournament a lot depends on luck.
