Summer mercato 2012

[ACMILAN1983]

Then why all of you suddenly believed it???????

If it is against our very principles, why everytime there are rumors about Silva leaving you believe it? Not thinking that all of those only media fabrications? Why are we so easy to believe this club has betraying its principles?

I said once and I'd say again: Silva will not leave this summer. Just watch.

Because this clearly isn't just media fabrication, especially when mediaset (owned by Berlusconi) and milan channel are saying there are negotiations. Silva's agent and Leonardo have both confirmed that there will be negotiations. Galliani is apparently going to fly to Paris either today or tomorrow to negotiate.

I said it goes against our principles to even negotiate, whether he leaves or not is not the point, as the damage has been done. I made a point a few months ago that it is important that this summer to show a sign of strength in the club. Look at the results of the Thiago Silva negotiations, the press are having a field day taking digs about how we're no longer a top club, we have rumours of directors pleading to keep the player and his colleagues are putting out desperate messages asking him to stay. How do you think the other clubs will view us? In the past, clubs might have mentioned buying guys like Maldini, Baresi or Van Basten, but everyone knew it wouldn't happen including the clubs themselves, knowing we don't sell our stars and these players aren't obtainable. Nowerdays, people think the same of Real and Barca, as they know realistically you're not going to have a chance of getting Messi, Ronaldo, Ozil or Iniesta. Selling Sheva and Kaka weakened our position somewhat over keeping our players, but with the Pato thing still fresh and now especially Thiago Silva, where there simply aren't any good arguments for selling him, clubs will see us as a club that has a price, regardless of how valued a player is.

This is what our club has been reduced to thanks to the managements actions.
