Inter have now bought Mudingayi after Handanovic and Silvestre, while Branca has confirmed Forlan's contract will be terminated. It seems as though they're going through some kind of revolution there. Definitely need to keep an eye on them as they will be competitive next year imo.

There's no news about us, just the usual comments on searching for a midfielder and wanting Guardiola next season.

I was reading an article on Guardian.co.uk, which really impressed and interested me, talking about proactive and reactive football and has some great comments from Sacchi about how teams are built. It was written after the first Italy-Spain match and I must say it's definitely worth a read:

There's mention of Gipo Viani, who many here won't know coached the side back in the 50s (notably with Gre-No-Li). Here's an article about that side:

Seems that Verratti to PSG is pretty much done...I guess that's better than him going to Juve given that was always more probable than coming to Milan. Transfer is reported at 14Mio + bonuses....and he's 17-18?

What Inter are doing is quite courageous, if they weren't Merda, I would wish them good luck. We missed out on CL too a few seasons back, and still didn't do anything.

Pato was bought at the same age with higher price.

We bought Pato for € 22 mln at age 17. He is not impressed by Verratti

There were probably some youngsters more expensive than Pato though, possibly Rooney amongst others?

Rooney did live up to his expectations though.
