This summer is different mainly due to the size of the squad and most of the out of contracts players did not feature much in the season.
Yepes, Pippo, Flamini, Roma, Zambro and Gattuso were all either injured or not good enough to play.
From a financial/MGT point of view, the question being ask is, if these players are healthy, could they help the team achieve more. Sadly, the answer is no. Therefore, they are not needed. ON top of that, Milan don't need to find replacements for these 6 players since the total minutes they played were less than 700mins.
Slowdorf and Ambro were pretty much in squad rotation and not starters. Their wages are way too high for these type of players.
MVB and Nesta were the only starters but due to their age and injuries, they could not give 100% game in and game out.
Then you have Aqua, Urby, Mexes, Bonera, Taiwo, Mesbah and Lopez, who just not good enough for Milan or like above too expensive for a squad player.
Make sense to clear them all out and let new blood in.
Agree with everything, except I will add Mexes, Pato and Urby in the sell list too.

to Renew or Release:

The general consensus is for only Nesta to stay & release everybody else (9 players out)
to Sign on Permanent Basis:

The general consensus is to keep SES, Merkel & Muntari (2 players out)
to Sell:
http://milanmania.com/forum/showthread.p...275&page=2
The general consensus is to sell Bonera, Mesbah, Taiwo & Robinho (4 players out, but technically just 3 as Taiwo is not included in the official Milan squad of 33)
So, so far, we will be cutting down the squad by 14 players (excluding Taiwo) in total to go down from 33 to 19 and then we will have to buy 6-8 new players to get to 25-27 players squad....that will be part two of the polls
