Summer mercato 2012

[Arildonardo]

Or Milan is getting as much as they want for their top assets.

Maybe Silva wants I leave due to more money or better team....
But the fact is all these rumors started with Galli stating it is hard to resist offers for Silva. Secondly, Silva did not complain about his wages, but I believe Boateng did. Ofcourse they are rumors, but there was not one rumor about Silva wantingn to leave to Barca or PSG or wanting a better salary.
Point I am trying to make, u can twist all u want, but I do believe Milan ws shopping Silva around more than Silva is looking for a better pay cheque.

Lastly, even if Silva is asking for a raise, can u blame him, as he currently is earnin less than Mexes. Once agin, Galli screws Milan up big time.

I wouldn't blame Silva if he wanted better wages at Milan, he certainly has deserved it. I'm just trying to say that a case has at least two sides. I'm not trying to make Silva a villain, because I would really want him to stay no matter what.

So if I understand the case right as it stands now, according to MilanNews.it ... Milan have not agreed a transfer with PSG, but Thiago Silva has a personal agreement with them? If so that means that Milan probably want him to stay, but he wants to leave. If true, who's the villain then?

You can't really call a man a villain just because he wants to earn more money than he's earning at the moment.

We're talking about figures of near one million euros a month being thrown around, can you really blame him? He won't be earning that much with us in his entire contract. You can talk about club loyalty all you want, but the fact is, a footballer's career lasts max 20 years, 25 if you are as lucky as Maldini, but you never know what will happen in the future (career-ending injuries, illness, accidents, loss of form, etc.) would you not try to get the best deal for yourself when you are at the peak of your powers? You might argue that your current club may (or may not) reward you for your loyalty, but will that reward be enough?

Lets face it, we are in no way anywhere near competing properly for titles if we have no further investments, even a two year old can see that. Thiago isn't dumb. If he's interested, that means he can see more potential for that club to win anything over his current club. I doubt any of you would disagree with that analysis. The French league may seem a step down, but they have star (mercenary) players, and they have a rich backer who is willing to invest in top talent to succeed, those two things are already more than what Milan have.
Unless something drastically changes in Berlu's mindset, we will have it worse off, will not be able to compete on the market, and all our best players will want out. Simple as that.

Berlu OUT!

I should have written "villain". I'm not considering Silva a villain. Just wanted to point out that a case as at least two sides.

I also understand that Milan right now can't compete with wages at clubs like Man City, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona. So if money is all that matters for these players, then I'm expecting more to leave us.
