There was never such a separation.
There was only wishful thinking vs more realistic view at things.
1. First thing some of you must understand is that players won't kill just to play for the euro champion, even if they find themselves on the bench.
Abidal rejected you, Tiago rejected you
2. You must remember Tiago case. Milan offered more money to Lyon and probably more money even to Tiago and still he rejected Milan and accepted the offer from a club that won't play in Europe this year and maybe not in next year also.
Why was that ? You probably already know why. With Pirlo and Gattuso, Tiago would have never been a regular starter in Milan while in Juve he's irreplaceable.
3. Now, VDV.
Rafael VdV is not useful on the flanks. Actually, he's useless there. The only place where he works perfectly is already taken in Milan by 25yo best player in the world.
In order to play VdV in Milan you'll either have to bench Gilardino, who costs 40m euro (wages included) and Seedorf (another one with high wages) and still VdV won't be effective because he won't play in his best position.
If you buy him and put him on the bench then you're paying again 40m euro (wages included) for a bench player, who'll get more and more frustated for sitting on the bench. Automatically you're losing 50% of what you've payed because not many teams would like to pay money for him anymore and yet you'll get a request for transfer out of the club because he won't like to sit on the bench.
It's same/similar with Sneijder.
4. I doubt anyone wants Emerson more than VdV, Milan's board included. But i guarantee you they gave it a lot of thought when they decided to buy Emerson and not VdV.
Guys, why is it so hard for you to see what's happening ?
