But if just one of them gets injured or is off form, then we are totally screwed. Especially if one of these players happens to be any one of our forwards, Pirlo, Zambrotta, Nesta or Dinho(not that he is any good right now, but he is better than nothing, and I expect he will improve as the season gets underway) we are in deep feces.
And it would be a miracle to have all these players on form and injury free for the majority of the season. Conclusion: it would be a miracle for Milan to seriously challenge for the title all 38 matches.

its not a mate of staying injury free its a matter of being consistent...and we lack that big time...our players can't run around week in week out

Guys; i said at the start of this month that Administration will tell us that we have of formidable squad and we can compete, as we know that fabiano deal is dead, just read what the Manager said;

"It's true that we haven't been reinforced, but I honestly believe that this squad can have a good season."


on this forum we have very good friends whom have even know football better than Galli, will somebody tell me why isn't we go for huntelaar, who have value around 16m......

Also, the expectation of having the injured players from last season be injury free for this coming season is just non-sense. As there were reasons why they were injured and on top of that, whose to say players who weren't injured last year will still be injury free this season?
We all talk about Zambro being the only WC fullback for Milan, imagine him being out for 3 months? Or how Pato will be out for 2 months.....

One last thing, pls don't hope Milan will do well this coming season as they really do not have the pieces to do well.
Like Galli, my expectation will be them making the CL and quite frankly, thats going to be a tough task.

Couldn´t agree more, Gabriel.
Also, Seedorf is our Rau ...and until we get rid of him, our use him as a sub(my choice), we will share the same fate of Real. We can´t aford to play with 10 men on the field...

Our beloved management doesnt have 16m to spend.
Also, Huntelaar isnt the type of attacker we are after... although, at this point, it isnt sure what we are after...

It seems like Eto'o has agreed to a deal with Inter. As such, the super-duper-player-exchange should go through.

There only 7 months between them Ibra being younger , as much as he saved Inter last year and before does anyone think he is TWICE as good as Eto , Inter have a good deal.

huntelaar seems like exactly the type of player we should be after, he would be a great compliment to pato

Without Nesta, not counting Silva yet, our def is horrible. Kalac has to go too. Storari although not great is surely better than him.

why could grosso help for a year or two? imo he has played better than zambrotta the past few seasons. he would be a huge upgrade over janku. i would like to see albertazzi get a chance as well

I see Grosso like a (little bit) better Oddo. Someone who can come in and address an issue we have for a season or so, until we get someone better. Trez and Grosso would make me happy, especially as both of them are EU, I would much rather get Hernanes, as long as Pirlo stays.

I agree he would be great, but according to Leonardo/the managements demands, he is not the powerful forward we are after.

They are two different types of players. Inter's team as is would not be able to serve up Eto'o... he wont be the same player as he is/was in Barça. But then again he has the coldness and balls in the big games that Ibra lacks.

For Barça I dont know how good Ibra would be. At Inter they would just give him any ball, aerial or ground, and he would make something out of it sooner or later. At Barça they could do the same thing, and on top of that there are worse defenses than in the Serie A. But Barcelona have the best passing game in the world, and Ibra would just contribute to it. But in a big game like in the Champions League, especially the latter stages, Ibra would be less useful than Eto'o.

Being different is difficult to say which player is really better, but I dont think Ibra is worth double.

Consider also that Inter will actually invest most of those 45m in their mercato, and being linked to players like Cassano or Hamsik. So they might actually improve their team a lot. Inter definitely got the better deal.

huntlaar is a classic "number 9" type striker, who i would see as a perfect compliment to Pato

Im getting bothered now because inter will get such a better deal than we did. I dont know why B & G didnt get anyone in the trade for kaka?

B/C they thought thats the best deal they can strike for Kaka, which turned out to be false.

It is quite funny to think that when B & G offered money for a player to another club, they tend to be insulting offer in order to test the other clubs reaction and get a better deal. While when someone offer money for Milan players, they will accept the first offer as they think thats the best deal they can get.

Buddy we have got better than this we have got first Option on most of their players plus a special discount. that does count
and quite frankly I'd rather see us getting smart move more than seeing us acquiring top name signning as well no only an idiot will think milan will accomplish something let us just hope we retain our previous position in the league so we can be more comfortable in building the squad.

I think we need a cb, lb cm am and cf I think Milan will buy two and loan three it all depends on the last days of the mercato to see if there are a demand on the current players we plan to get.
