Look at us versus Bayern, I'd rather have Vogel in the team more than Gattuso right now.

You still think that name is worth more money than a quality and perspective?! IMO Barzagli is even better than those three lads you mentioned. Plus he is quite young and very mature to his age. Plus he is italian - maybe another Sandro, who is a God to italian milanisti who buy shorts and other accessory of our team. Never the less there are plenty of italian NT fans who would start support Milan more if we acquire more italian guys.
I was shocked when Real bought Cassano only for €4 mio
and Braida, Galliani & co. were scilent like a fish
Imagine, he is young, very very perspective and he could had formed an azzurri super duo in attack with Gila

If you mention San Paolo you should count San Billy too. Although they likely to finish careers soon

10 years ago people were still searched when crossing European borders, 10 years from now Europe would be like a European version of USA. This process of integration and globalization is inevitable as it seems right now, and football club's policies, along with everything and everyone else, will have to adapt to the change.

If Milan look like Arse someday I bet my love to them wont increase even though they will win all tournaments they play. I do not like football as a business to much. I perfer football as a game! American example of porfessional sports is very repulsive to me

Pozzi is still very young. And he is not too pricey IMO too.

Yup. I agree with you. Although IMO it's significant to choose an italian player than a foreigner if their abilities and price is almost equal.
I can not conceive why we did not paid attention to Toni, Esposito or even Cassano when we were lookin for a forward last summer and once again this january. Gila was the right choice, howver Amoruso isnt
