I do not believe we will sign Cesc simply because he does not want us and is fascinated to go to Barca, whether it be on the bench with a pay cut or not. We can't compete with that anymore. Just like how no other clubs can compete with us signing Ganso - he wants us and no other club, thats why no one is being linked with him no more. And I do think at the end we will sign Ganso - possibly another additional player.
I am not happy with the fact that Flamini, who has market value at age 26 right now, who we pay for 8m a season before tax, is going to be free next year and we haven't sold him yet. If we sell him we can get a nice transfer fee of at least 7m euro, plus we can see 8m in wages, that 15m is absolutely fantastic and we could use it for many positions. We need to sell Flamini this summer, or renew with him at a lower fee, we can't let him go for free and lose potential cash on him.
Hernanes is a very good player who could probably fill in our LM midfield role brilliantly. Personally I prefer Hernanes to Schweinsteiger, even tho Schweini is more consistent, but Hernanes is more creative. I am a big fan of Fabregas and he obviously is the dream but he is nothing but a dream I'm afraid. It is true though that we are after him, and thus implying we do have cash to spend. I sure hope that we end the summer signing a worldclass midfielder than can lead us to competitiveness in the CL. We have already missed out on Pastore, and soon on Cesc. The players that are available are becoming less and less as the market comes to a close.
I am a huge huge fan of Balotelli but I do not think we should bring him this year - maybe next..and as mrki said, if there is any team that Balotelli will shine in and be a good boy it is Milan. I do not like Cassano but I am in favor of giving him another shot until January, quality players like that are hard to find. I am also in favor of selling Pato for a fee of 50m - if that bid ever comes. I am pissed off by the fact that the kid is not developing and he is missing so many chances for Milan and Brazil. He is not headed in the right direction, yet... and hasn't been in a long time. 50m bids will not come after FFP begins, so if that bid ever comes in, we must take it. However, this is as impossible as Cesc arriving because Barbara is his current girlfriend and she's soon to be Milan's President.
