Summer mercato 2012

[Sputnik]

according to (the generally reliable) AC Milan News twitter feed, Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Milan could sell Boateng in order to finance the acquisition of a top coach or a top player.

If true, is that supposed to be a PLAN of a serious top class team?
Sell our best player? Why not sell Silva to Barcelona while we're at it?
I mean there's always room to loan a player from a second division French club, right?
Or Catania or something?

Boateng is a very important player for our team, but he's not our best player ... The fact is we play most of this season without him, and he has showed classy things in few games (but when he did, that was amazing).

If a club offers 30M+ for him, I think I would prefer our club accepts the offer and continues to build a new team ...

Actually, this season is almost a "normal season" for Boateng : playing amazingly well here and there, being injured quite often, and playing some games like a ghost (generally when coming back from injury). The surprise was his first season in Milan, very unexpected.

PS : It's maybe the plan ? Taking cheap players who will play well for one season, and sell them at a very high price then ?

Well Geo you might be right. Best is not the right word. One of the best then. And surely a modern footballer we should build upon, like Silva. His skills are mad, he is powerful, he can bloody RUN (unlike some of our players) and he doesn't hide in big matches. Injured, yes, for most of the time this season but I just can't put him in Pato category already. I disagree that this is a "normal Boateng season". You might be right on this one also but I have to see him play one more year to judge that properly. And he surely knows how to score some beautiful, beautiful goals.

I mean, if someone says "name 3-4 AC Milan players that could play in Barca, Real M., Bayern or Chelsea" then Boateng is one of them, I think.
