Biggest Mistake In The Transfer Market??

yep.., i do agree with you kris.
lentini's transfer fee was the biggest at that moment but Lentini couldn't prove anything to Milan like he shown in Torino.
But it caused the crashed itself.

After the crash then recovery from that injured, I kept believing to wait the best performance of the most expensive player at right flank of milan midfield til he came out from milan.
That time i had fancy of milan midfielder like this :

doandoni----albertini-----desailly-----lentini

Letting go of Patrick Viera, it wasnt as bad as Juventus letting go of Henry tho. Damn that must of hurt pretty bad.

Not at all.
I think that Juventus fans are only sorry for Henry not doing good in Juve but it doesn't hurt even a little bit. At the expense of losing Henry we got one of the greatest strikers in our history - David Trezeguet, and even though i am aware Henry is much more complete forward than Trez, i wouldn't exchange Trez even for 10 Henry's.
It's just like, at this moment, 99% of Milan fans are happy they bought Pippo from Juve, not Henry. Henry is a better player than Pippo but would anyone who is a Milan fan and who doesn't think that "Henry is God" go back to past and buy Henry instead of Inzaghi ? ( btw, once , here on MM, we even had a member called Henry is God. He was such a pain in the ass and he got a deserved ban. Luckily he at least had a character and he didn't re-register after he was banned and told he's not welcomed here anymore)

Now if you want to talk about a transfer that hurts pretty bad it's Pippo's transfer, not Henry's. Not that we're sorry for losing Pippo... he was great at Juve but it was time for a change and we already had Del Piero-Trez partnership when we sold him. But Pippo was sold to a rival in Italy, unlike Henry who played abroad.
What personally hurts me about Pippo is Ancelotti's behavior. He was keeping Pippo on the bench, Pippo was unhappy and he wanted out at the end. And then Carlo, who made him unhappy at first place, takes Pippo with him to Milan. Really strange , it even looks like a well prepared plan if you ask me.
Of course, Moggi takes the blame for this transfer. If he wanted to keep Pippo he would have kept him, but he obviously also wanted to sell Pippo.

As for Milan's greatest mistake in transfer market, i don't think it's Vieira. He was still 19 when he was sold to Arsenal and even though Milan were obviously aware of his qualities (they wouldn't have bought him at first place if they didn't know he's good) they had to sell him because the non-EU spots were taken and so was his position on the field (Marcel Desailly). Even though Milan knew he was a quality player, there was no way to know that he'll become the greatest DM in the world. Plus, Wenger has a huge role in getting the best out of Vieira and if Patrick didn't leave Milan maybe he wouldn't have been as good as he is now.
The biggest mistake was Edgar Davids, imo. He was already proven in Europe, a CL winner and he was already one of the best in the world. Milan weren't patient enough with him and another mistake was selling him to a rival team and making Juve, who were already the strongest team in the world, even stronger for the years to come.

Tony very well said I personally think Trez was more suited to your style of play and Henry could not have done what Trez has done at Juve. I guess even in the younger days at Monaco many knew these two would be the French partnership of the future. Inzaghi is very special, like you said Milan wouldn’t swap him for Henry and I personally think no player could replace Inzaghi for what he does.

I mentioned Henry because after he left Juventus he more or less set another league alight, was consistent in every year he played and was voted the best foreign player to ever play in the PL. My conspiracy is that Ancelotti knew he was going to leave you and he wanted to make you weak so he let Pippo and Henry go lol. Nah but really I can understand your frustration at letting Pippo go, who has been our savior on countless occasions.

After looking more in to the topic I understand Viera wasn’t the biggest transfer mistake, he was the first player who sprung into my mind who Milan let go when they should have given more chances.

Not like Inter, Milan had few mistakes in transfer, mostly the unlucky ones, ex: Lentini and Redondo. The cases of Viera and Davids did not hurt me because we still had better and more suited DM back then (Albertini and Dessaily). Ejass (friend of Seedorf, I think I did not write his name correctly), Ba (this year) are funny, even Rivaldo turned out to be funny in my point of view There are flops, but any clubs have it, and these flops could not do any better at other big teams. The proud midfielder of Milan now consists of best moves in transfer: Pirlo, Seedorf (thanks, Inter ), Gattuso (thx Scotland and Zac) and Kaka, yes, Kaka.

The things that hurt me the most are the injury of Van Basten or separation of Flying Dutchman Trio, and the reason of Sheva's leaving (I think there are not any English tutor in Italy)...

I'll say this over and over again, I want nobody nothing, from EPL, every player coming from EPL will have his legs in 2 peices within his first 2 games of Seria A or spanish, but , i think henry would have been good he looks good at barca too.. All I'm saying is, pato is the future the passed and the present of football, getting players at his age, his talent, in milano is a recipe for disaster, for other teams that is.. but not to mention, Pato can't be judged yet, first game scorer flops, oliveira anyone?

Coco? From whome we got Seedorf? yeah sure that was a big mistake

In other news I heard from an Italian that Coco now have moved to USA to try for an actors career. He sure was a great investment for Inter.

Both players were too young and needed a change of scenery.
Henry wasn't being used right by Juve. They had him as a straight winger.

Yes because the Prem is known to be full of crafty yet fragile little footballing technicians.......like Drogba and Terry

ManU and Chelsea though, have solid players who would do well anywhere, and there are a lot of players who could do the same, given the fact EPL has nearly every good player up to date, but my point is half the people coming from EPL can't neccasarily preform at milan.. As under rated as pirlo is, he'd be regarded as ronaldinho if he moved to epl..

Biggest Mistake IMO was prob letting Vieira go. Capello left after winning the league in 96, as Berlu tol dhim he HAD to win the league or be sacked. Lentini got severly injured in a car crash so wasn't a mistake, just bad luck. Great player too, only Donadoni was better winger for us IMO, but Lentini had more tactical capabilities.

Letting Crespo go and buying Gila was/is a mistake, and Tomasson was great for Milan.

Biggest mistakes (letting players go): Davids, Kluivert, Laursen, Coloccini

Signing GILARDINO....we dont need a striker who we hope will score...we need a striker that is going to score...Dont sell him...Give him away.
