First of all, Thanks, Hitman, for starting this thread. It's VERY important in regards to our future Mercato's. (You forgot Nesta!!)
Secondly, We should all keep in mind of two things.
1. The AWFUL tax code that Italy currently has which makes Serie A unable to compete with the other European countries.
2. The new "FAIR PLAY" rule, in which teams cannot spend in wages more than what they bring in, in income (Man City
)
Lastly, we will have a situation where Seedorf will be gone, and we will probably re-new Pirlo, but hopefully for 2-3 million Euros. The older guys who want 1 year extensions hopefully will settle for less to retire in Milan.
Also, younger guys from Primavera or Italians we sign (Merkel, Verdi, Strasser, Beretta, Lazzari, Criscito), won't demand more than €2 or €3 Million per year. However, Pato and T. Silva will ask for more than €5 Million per year, for sure. Hopefully it will all balance itself out.
I would like to see Ganso, Jucilei, Lazzari, Criscito/Coentrao, Merkel, Strasser, Beretta/Verdi, D. Luiz, Astori all in our team in the next 12-18 months. This will be tough to brin gin everyone, but this will make us ready to challenge for Scudetto, Coppa Italia AND Champions League for next 5-10 years!!!
I do realize, this thread is about our current players, though, so let the discussion begin on who we should pay, and how much.....
