Like I said I thought the period in the first half was better mainly due to results and Milan did not drop points against relegation teams. Also, toward the end of a season, teams tend to play more attacking balls instead of parking the bus as they need the three points rather than one. That played a part in Milan scoring two to three goals game.

As for Serie A being a weaker league, well in my opinion, yes. Liga is not as bad as the credits some of you are giving them, it is just that Real and Barca are too good. ManU might seems to have won the EPL with ease last season, but they do have the deepest and most talented squad in the EPL while both Arsenal and Chelsea hitter through some tough spell. Actually toward the end of the season, Chelsea got a great
chance to knockoff ManU, just so happened that they lost that game against ManU.

To me quality of football is important to understand our strengths, as this will allow us to continue to build from and consistently maintain results. Getting 3 points but struggling frequently isn't something we can maintain, and I think Lazio were a good example of that, as they
fell away in the second half of the season.

If we're to say 3 points are 3 points, then our second half of the season is still better, as in the first half we picked up 40 points, in the second 42, including the unimportant final match against Udinese. Let's not forget that in addition to this, in the first half we only really missed
Pato and Pirlo on long term injuries, while in the second half of the season, we had Pirlo, Boateng and Ambro all out for long times and others out for lots of time too.

La Liga really isn't that strong, the only team that is at all interesting there besides the top two is Villareal, who aren't bad, but hardly brilliant
either. In the Premiership, Chelsea had a great chance despite their poor play, and mostly because Man U went through a bad period then too, but believe me, last season's Premiership was the weakest in a long time.

Again I DON'T WANT US TO GO INTO DEBT ...DONT WANT IT..but the players and MGT should stop pleading poverty ..saying players is a bot general specifically Gattussos comment.It's not professional at all..and won't bring the price of any player down.

Won't that concern you that Juve can outspend Milan despite all that? To me, that's worrying. Maybe not this or the next year, but if Juve can continue to generate more funds than Milan with no CL football and money toward building it's own stadium, what will happen if they become regular in CL with their own stadium? That's a long term concern and something that MGT should really look into it.

Juve might be spending 50 mil on average to good players now but as I said,once they start playing in CL more and actually get a better coach,they will only have more money to spend and those great players will sign for them.

Quote:As for Real, well, I really would not call them a joke as Barcelona plays in the same league as them, also, they are a level above Milan at the moment.

Quote:I am not saying Milan won't strike a deal for a player or two that will improve the current squad till season starts, but to think that ey can keep finding bargains every summer is unreal. As I think this year is a sellers market more than a buyers market due to the FFP in the coming years.
