FORZA MILAN !

Holy crap, man! I didn't know we have accomplished the highest degree of honor a soccer club can possibly achieve, to balance the books! I mean, who gives a flying crap about CL, Serie A and all the other trophies? This is the book we are talking about! I for one would trade every single title we have in our trophy room for a balanced budget, I really would. Think about it, all the other teams are busy worrying about winning games, but we are too smart for that. We win our battles in the boardroom, where our book is balanced, for the time being! The team obviously don't need new players because all our players can play at the highest level of capacity well into their 50s, thanks to the magic of the Berlusconi BS. Really, buddy, well done! This is the way AC Milan should've been run. We can be in Serie Z, but so long as our book is balanced, IT IS ALL GOOD!

seriously though - they are reporting that Galliani and Braida were both in Germany not only to see the Bayern Munich game, they were there for none other than our primary objective. And yesterday Martins was signed by Wolfsburg. I guess tomorrow things will be clearer..

Not trying to be negative but Wolfs is just getting more depth to prepare to compete in CL and their domestic league. On top of that Martins is really not that good. And if Wolfs rate Martins to be a direct replacement for Dzeko, then Milan really should not be getting him.

One more thing to think that Martins joining Wolfs means Dzeko is leaving is the same as Dzeko coming to Milan so that Pato can go to Chelsea.

I would honestly not be surprised if that were to happen

Would ppl consider stopping copy pasting articles from goal.crap cos what they have to say isn't newsworthy, plus they never break any news, any rumours have already been posted by some of the other guys like 2 pages before, they are basically a translation service.
Anyway its just a suggestion but I come here to read ppl's comments
and opinions not crap articles from goal.crap.

There may be trouble ahead , I have no expectations for DA season however I will still follow Milan with the same passion as before , always wondered what it was like to follow a bottom of the table side knowing the players your team buy are **** (I do not not think we will be a bottom of the table side) and always hanging in mediocrity , as some have said maybe (GIANT ?) Berlu will say ****** buy buy buy I cannot own a average team , DOUBT IT but we sold kaka 68 miilion euro gourcuff 15 million euro thats 83 million euro - 60 for books or books for girls or whatever, that leaves 23 million to spend + according to deloite are they accurate ? we made 230 - 240 million last year has it all gone an Seedorfs wages there has to be 40 million to spend without going into the dreaded RED.

40 million would get us Huntelaar , Hernanes and at a push a LB and a bit to be optimistic about.

PS. Why do I bother posting I know ye all Know what we need Galli know's that dirty geezer Berlu knows , but is dithering or unwilling to do anything about it.

Id love to know thr reason whether there is no money or signings lined up or just pure selfish money -grabbing GREED.

think about it genius do you want milan to become another leeds united or lazio fiorentina?, before you go off being sarcastic do some research and talk to individuals from italy, genoa,roma,fiorentina,napoli who tell you how everything is so expensive in italy, do you want milan to collapse and start from scratch i mean Serie C? because thats a very high possibility considering the way the world is at the moment, Italy isnt the United States Espana England where you can just shell out money, with no re procussion, before you go off mouthing why can't we throw money around? because we dont know if the economic crisis will get worst, honestly do you believe that 85 million euro's will guarantee milan a CL and a Scudetto and a team like we had in 2000 to last till 07? be smart i know thats hard but just try i beleive in you

Well, it's been quite fun to read these last few pages.
Some of you guys (slifersd and Gabriel489), keep up the good work

We had a dept oof € 65m I believe, and we earned approx. € 80m.

That leaves approx € 15m for transfers, which is basically what our transfer budget is, looking at the ''offers'' we have made for ''various'' players.
So the management isnt really being hypocritical in that perspective.So it is useless for some ppl to ask for the 80 million to be reinvested in the team. Morelikely, the money from Gourcuffs transfer is going to be reinvested, while the Kaka cash is for balancing the books.

I actually believe we have to balance the books since its a known fact that Milan and other teams including Inter have had some sort of dept for years now. The Nesta transfer of 31/08/2002 was basically a gift from Berlusconi's private cash. Now he is willing to do that - be it not caring about Milan, becoming old and insane, spending it on girls, or just repercussions from the current financial crisis.

I am willing to accept this. But what I am not willing to accept is that the management continue to claim - either because they really believe it or are trying to cover their butts - that our team is still highly competitive.

Ignazio Abate Disappointed At Milan’s Drubbing In Audi Cup

Ignazio Abate
Milan were resoundingly humiliated by German giants Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup last night, as the Bavarians triumphed 4-1 at the Allianz Arena, a result that has led Ignazio Abate to lament the Rossoneri's hectic pre-season schedule.

The result has inevitably set off alarm bells. Milan have now conceded 12 goals in their last five outings, suffering their fourth straight defeat of their pre-season on Wednesday evening.

“We are very disappointed,” midfielder Abate ruefully admitted to the Diavoli’s official website.

“Losing this way is not pleasing. Four goals are a lot, but we are hampered by fatigue at the moment. We are not training as we should and the gap on our opponents pops out .

“We did rather well midway through the encounter, but then we struggled. I reckon we showed good things against Chelsea, so I think it’s only fair to believe in ourselves.

“We will soon go back to working properly and then we’ll be able to get our stamina back.”

Milan will be back in action tonight against Argentine side Boca Juniors, who lost 2-1 to Manchester United.

Milan To Restart Luis Fabiano Negotiations With Sevilla – Report
The Rossoneri are starting to reconsider plans for the striker after conceding 12 goals in four straight defeats...
30 Jul 2009 09:01:03

Luis Fabiano
Milan are ready to restart negotiations for Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano following their fourth straight defeat.

The Rossoneri lost their opening Audi Cup match against Bayern Munich 4-1 on Wednesday night, a match in which there was no attacking threat from the Italians. Il Corriere Dello Sport claims Leonardo has now spoken with Adriano Galliani and told the club's vice president that he needs the Brazilian ace.

According to the report, Milan are now reconsidering plans for the hitman. The initial move earlier this month failed because Milan would not increase their €14m offer, which was ridiculed by the Spanish club.

Sevilla were in no mood to lower their asking fee, and after several rounds of talks the move collapsed. It is said that the Rossoneri are now looking to offer the Spanish side a deal that will see cash plus a player on a co-ownership deal go to Spain.

Voices surrounding the club suggest the other alternative could be Marc Janko from Salzburg. Milan would sign Janko to then use him as bait for bigger targets.

We also save the money from the wages of Kaka' ... anyway, you're right.

It's like these French commentators who said 150 times that we need to find a replacement for Kaka' yesterday: are they stupid ? You don't sell the best player in his position to replace him then ...

I guess Seville will not play hard to get even more now with the recent results for Milan.
I think I will put this as another reason why teams should sign players before their friendlies instead of Aug 31 as other teams will know what they lack and jack up the prices.

I don't believe that Fabiano alone would make much difference anyway.
We all know that this team is falling behind and a complete makeover is needed.
