That is a good question--but the debt was real. I don't think Finnivest can make that up. Host of legal problems probably.

Hmmm... interestingly enough according to this

Funny that Schalke 04 are worth more money than Inter

It's still worring that the board has not closed any deals yet. I can't help but feel that since we only have one non-eu spot we're trying to feel the market so we can be sure to get the players we want. I find it hard to believe that the management aren't planning on getting anyone, in that case why would they bother flying all over the world to start negotiations with various players.

I imagine that when we close the first deal, the second will follow soon after. For eksampel, we can't sign Hernanes without knowing that we can get Fabiano for the price that we want, since our second option could be someone like Adebayor (Who btw odly enough delayed his transfer to Manchester City) or someone else who doesn't have a eu-passport. Same goes for the full back role. Maybe our first option for the full back role could be a non-eu player, like Srna, but the striker and midfield role would maybe be seen as more important.

In any case it does make sence to be sure of what we can and what we can't get before starting to make purchases. I just wish they'd hurry up a bit. I really feel it's a mistake that the squad isn't full before the US-tour, since pre-season is suposed to be about making the squad gel. I honostly think that alot of our poor years in the Serie A has often been down to poor starts to the season, caused by the late transfers of players. We almost always start poorly and end great, itnever mattered in the CL because the important games are in the second half of the year, hence our succes there, but it's a problem in the Serie A.

Actually Milan do make more money than inter for sure and as for juventus it about the seem about of income. Milan has more lucrative media contracts and merchandise sales, plus a much bigger fan base a example of of this is on facebook the Milan group is 90,000 strong and the inter group barely 28,000 members. In addition according to my friend naldo the inter milan London association group has roughly 120 members while Milan london group is about 700 members strong.

In any case the forbes report is a joke the only people that know how much Milan is making is Berlusconi and Galliani. plus they would also know the costs that Milan are incurring which is of more interest as Milan seem to be encountering some hude additional cost. after wages and taxes Milan should have expenditure of roughly 200 million euros.

Here in Norway there's talk of a new law in football where clubs are not allowed to buy players if their economy isn't healthy, or positive. Clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool would not be granted a license to play in the norwegian league if they had been norwegian. Stupid clubs use money they don't have and nowadays norwegian clubs are desperately trying to lower the player's wages in order to get the economy back on track.

Couldn't agree with you more Rick...great post mate!! I suppose its just disappointing seeing Juve and Inter buying WC players and we are doing nothing!

why has nobody discussed the possibility of Amantino Mancini joining us?

because he's crap and we don't need the player with his type, because Inter won't sell anyone to us, because he will cost money and we need the money more to buy CF-LB-mid or even GK.

Mancini not fit with 4-3-3 ala Mourinho, then again as you said Inter won't allowed no one join us coz perhaps Mancini will show his true ability

why dont we make a bid for alessandro rosina? he is hugely talented, and he is currently cheap due to torino's relegation. an ideal sub for dinho and for 5 mil, he would def be worth it. also, while i like ambro enough, flamini should be starting, he has much more talent. ambro is still a great sub though imo
