Summer mercato 2012

[Hasan Rossonero]

Milan is now a supermarket. All we have are handful of talented players and they are all wanted by the richer clubs.

Boateng for Kaka? No.

But like others have said, Robinho for Kaka, yes!

Actually Bronzetti said something interesting the other day:

"Juventus are going to be a top club, and people are just going to have get used to coming in 2nd and 3rd. RVP is available but Juve have to act fast. Higuain is also for sale, no matter what Real say. The Spanish clubs have to face up to the crisis in their country.. "

I actually think if we get our stadium sorted out, we are not doing too badly. This is paper talk, and Corriere at that, a paper that is seldom right when it comes to Milan. Keeping Silva and Ibra, the absolute nucleus of this team, was critical. I would still be okay with Ibra going for big money btw. We're paying these players a good salary as well, which indicates that our plan is to pay generously our stars (really 2 true ones), and scale our wage down for our tier 2 players to those on the periphery of the team. Perfectly fine by me. That's why Flamini should take a hike.

Rumour has it we will be 40 million euros in the red next year, which, all things considered, is actually not too shabby. I think one player has the financial clout AND the habitat (first rate league) to buy great players: Man City. PSG still play in the French league, and I don't see that league as enticing as Serie A (currently at least). Barcelona and Real Madrid have not bought big this summer, and the former's vulgar mouthpiece pretty much said they would not get involved in a bidding war with anyone for Silva (which is tantamount to saying they cannot get involved in this bidding war).

Cassano and Robinho are fair game, IMO, but I don't think Boateng is going anywhere. If we have to sell Robinho to land Kaka and a midfielder like Sahin, I will be more than content.
