Rumours continue to fly around and I don't buy the BS that Berlusconi suddenly changed his mind about this whole situation. I said to a work colleague on a lunch break a few hours ago that this situation would either end with Thiago's sale or Berlusconi again trying to make himself look the hero. On top of that I think Hasan's on the mark that it's a very realistic possibility we see Thiago go in the not too distant future, as this is similar to the Kaka scenario (worse imo).
Personally, I hope the pressure on management doesn't let up even if we keep Thiago. If we do then Berlusconi will delude himself thinking he's some hero to the fans for blocking the transfer, when he's clearly the problem with letting anything even get started. For this reason I hope those in Milan will protest (peacefully). Berlusconi, Galliani and any other idiot who sanctioned this whole situation should be made to know this isn't acceptable. After all, what's the worse that happens? Either the club continues to be slowly killed internally or he decides to sell, with the result being the club gets killed by another owner or, hopefully, the club prospers from proper management.
On top of that what's this actually mean? Either now we buy pretty much no one as we have no money and all hope for improving for the coming season is lost. Or we spend a reasonable amount to reinforce, which begs the question as to why this whole farce has even taken place. Either way, we have little hope as on the one hand we have nothing good to look forward to or we face the reality that this management don't have this club's on field success in their best interest.
Finally, where's this leave Thiago? A week ago he was adored amongst fans and considered a leader for the long term future of this club. Like Maldini when I think Real or Chelsea wanted him back at the turn of the century, he could have put an end to this debacle before it even began. Instead this leaves doubts about his commitment to the club and questions must be raised as how he will be perceived. I know for sure I no longer view him in the same light I did a week ago.
