Summer mercato 2012

[Ryo]

Well for one, Cassanos' skill is undeniable, he has a great touch,creativity and accuracy to boost about but as far as everything else.. He's overweight, completely out of shape can barely run and cannot last more then 60 minutes in a game, and for any of you to really think that this season that will change is insanity, after this entire season he will be back to 80-90% form you can expect about 60% form by January right now he's about 30% because I can't name any other professional player who plays 30 minutes and can barely walk.. His effect on the game is still great even with in those 30 minutes so it would be great to have him to play first half and have a solid if not better sub ready to come on, or in reverse him playing 2nd half and a reliable player to play the 1st half however for now I don't think we have that luxury. The problem is, cassano at 30 y/o once he does regain fitness (if he does) his age will slow him down or he won't even gain full fitness due to his age, he's not a young kid anymore, for example kaka will never gain his speed back, once a player hits 30 they COULD continually preform as well as they did in there early-late 20's but they will certainly not get any better other then at tactical discipline as far as gaining more experience which I think he has enough of its just really his fitness that's holding him back. I would like to hold onto Cassano but since we've already gotten rid of lopez,ibra,pippo possibly even binho and cassano I'd like a remodeling of our attack, a faster younger attack.

if we did plan to reinvest and sell binho/cassano and also reinvest from their sales we could look at..


cassano - jovetic
ibra - RVP or cavani or dzeko
robinho - tevez

I'll total up my favoured players..

jovetic 30mln
cavani 35mln
tevez 25mln
for defense tasci or whoever 10mln (don't see us spending anymore imho)
sahin/strootman about 10-15mln

72mln from ibra/thiago sales
15mln from robinho sale
10-15mln from cassano sale

100mln more or less.
all those players i mentioned = 105mln

If we look to reinvest money from these sales we can seriously make our team 50x better with sahin,cavani,tevez,jovetic and els although no matter who we get for our defense they won't fill the whole left by silva but hopefully close enough.

Mate, once again your hypothesis, no matter how feasible, does not take into account three things:

1) Milan would never spend all the money to reinforce. 70mln for the debt, another 10-20mln for next years debt, and then what we have left, say around 10-20mln, for tansfers.

2) You did not account for the players salaries, which would be quite high, imho.

3) B and G are idiots who never read forums, nuff said
