Last season, we got Ibra and Robinho when everybody complained the lack of ambition of our management ... The mercato isn't yet open, we secured Boateng. Our management has made it clear that we will get some kind of player. Don't forget the potential "gift" by Berlusconi too.
Perhaps you read my post ALL wrong. I 'observed' that Milan Management offered every expiring contract 1 year. I would have kept Nesta, Ambro, MvB, & Inzaghi. I would not re-sign Pirlo, Seedorf, Legrottaglie, & Jankulovski. So, we didn't think too differently, Galliani & I.
The decision of Milan's Galliani was rather simple. Offer all a 1 year contract and see who stays. Obviously subtract Jankulovski & Legro from that.
Will Yepes Stay?
In terms of being pessimistic, I am not. However, we NEED 2 midfielders to improve upon this season. Winning Serie A means less than it did (as Russo-Neri stated). However, one has to think Inter & Juventus will improve their squads, and Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man UTD, Chelsea, Bayern, are strong. We lost to Tottenham so we must improve.
Let's see who we get, but we will need at least 1 World Class Midfielder. It's as simple as that. This is of course assuming we do not lose Cassano or Ibra, in which we may need to buy another World Class player.
