Is Milan heading to the right direction?

Pardon me for creating yet another thread. With Kaka's departure, I think I would like to summarize what I have been thinking (mixed feeling) after the end of the season.

My question is "are we heading to the right direction"? I remember how Galliani was so proud of the "family" atmosphere in Milan and Milan will never hold back any players against their wills to leave. All we have seen was that young players with potential being loaned out and sold to other clubs and we have to stick with the same old players for the last few seasons. Unlike Juventus, who loves to pocket any profits from through sales of their "older" star players, we tend to keep every senior level players until they decide to retire because Milan is a family-team and we do not just sell players for profits. This policy or mentality was a nice concept since it creates a closely bonded atmosphere within the team, but we have also witnessed the adverse effect of this policy (For example, Seedorf). Milan has become a retirement home and this is a partial reason for the recent unsuccessful seaons.

With the departure of Ancelotti, Maldini, and now Kaka, I think the management starts to steer away from the old habit by keeping players forever. With my eyes wide open to see what the management will be working on for the next 2 months, I start to think whether Milan is becoming more "Juve." Are we going to lose the family bond concept and turn into a pure shizzness buy-low-sell-high team? I don't know, and I am anxious to see what this new Milan is and how this new Milan team can start a new era.

Next, I don't believe this is a recent decision of Kaka's departure. However, like everyone else pointed out, how can we lose Gourcuff, who has the potential to step in and fill in Kaka's position? Now, with 70 million pounds, what is the management planning to do? Who are they planning to recruit? What tactical system will be adopted to the new team? With all these uncertainties, I am afraid that Leonardo will have a difficult summer, if not next season.

The next question is who will be the icon for Milan now? Kaka had the image to be the next Milan leader. Without him, I am not sure whether Gattuso, or even Ambrosini, can fill in the shoe. I don't think Pato has developed to take over the void left by Kaka yet. I am afraid that this void will not be filled in the next couple years. Maybe this is a good thing in hindsight, but I, as a fan for the past 15 - 20 years, am left with this empty feeling about this new team. More in significance, Milan is becoming a market for other teams with deep pockets to shop at. The old glorious Milan is long gone, and it is a little to hard to swallow on this transition. Maybe we should consider a change in the management as well and try to bring in more money? and boy, money, money, money, have we heard enough of this from Galliani?

My personal wishes to Santa for the summer:
1. Chelsea, please take Seedorf with you.
2. Chelsea, please take back Shevchenko.
3. Someone, please get Dida.
4. Napoli, come get Borriello for player exchange.
5. Sendoros, please return to Arsenal.
6. If price is right, I don't mind seeing Ronaldinho's exit.
7. Let's get serious about making a revolution and don't do a half-ass job.
