JUst bc Milan signed Brojan and De Jong, it still does not make Milan a better team than last year. Which to me is pretty sad, considering last year team was a top 10 teams in Europe and with 1 or 2 signings, Milan could be the top team that only Barca and Real can rival.
I am not saying guys like Monty, Brojan, Pazzini, De Jong, Zapata, Acerbi, Troare and even Kaka are not good or great players but considering the players that were gone, those are not enough. Acerbi and Zapata might be more consistent than Nesta, but they both lack the big game Mentality of Nesta. And both of them are far from Silva's level. Monty, Troare and De Jong, are pretty much at the same level as Gattuso, Aqua, and MVB. Brojan is no Cassano and Pazzini is half the player Ibra is on a bad day. Kaka will be a welcome addition, but he alone can't help this Milan into a great team.
When you look at the names that got sold, the names that came in and the names that remains. It makes you wonder is there really a plan for the development of Milan or just go sign whoever is cheap and available.
People kept saying Ibra is old and probably had his best season but he could still score and assist around 25+goals, which is a number the current corp of forwards will be hard to replace.
Silva is no doubt the best CB in the world, where he did made life easier for those around him. Without him, Mexes, Bonera, Antonini, maybe even Abate will be completely expose.
Overall, I am not proud of the way the club is being run over the past few seasons esp, this off season, where the owners pretty much waved the white flag even before the season began. Don't be fool by the signings of Brojan, De Jong and even Kaka as this Milan is just a decent team which will most likely be fighting a CL spot instead of the League Title.
