We should keep our 7-8 players that had a starting spot in the last 2-3 years, joined by some new elements like Gila and Oddo for example. So i really don't see why i am exaggerating ...

maybe i used too strong a word, but i think you want too many changes. yes, 4 players in the new starting line-up are too many. stam played really well and in a 3-man defence he would play even better. maybe he did let us down in some games, but so did sheva and dida and all the rest. who was 100% perfect throughout the year? re seedorf, there are too many ppl who hate him, but he has done a lot of good, too. we should be fair in judging his performances.
i agree with just adding 4 elements, but not necessarily in our starting 11. and that's the impression i'm getting from carletto and galliani's words. vogel is definitely just a sub, jankulovski is likely to have a good number of starts while gilardino is not guaranteed a starting 11 place since ancelotti wants 5 attackers (sheva, inzaghi, tomasson have all been confermed, gila will be announced shortly and crespo will probably be loaned for another season). sheva is in our starting 11, while do not ignore the fact that inzaghi will be starting his preparation 2 weeks before the rest of the group, so he will have a head-start above the others.
re ancelotti, sacking him would be a big mistake because this is a 5-yr plan and it has been very successful till now. remember that from 4 finals we have won 1 on penalties and lost the other 3 from the same penalty spots. so it could have very easily been 4 wins or 4 losses. capello lost 6 finals with us, 1 with roma, while lippi lost 6 too. so no coach is 100% successful in finals. even sacchi had his limitations. he lost one coppa italia and one world cup, which is the worst of all.
i think we should be grateful we support milan and have the opportunity to play so many finals. what would we do if we supported inter? notice the fuss they've created around the coppa italia final. shows they're not used to playing in a final.
