How much can u save for swapping Ibra and Silva with Kaka, Rossi, Zapata, Sahin/Hernanes?
The fact that thry didnt just sell Taiwo, Mesbah, Robinho and Mexes to cut spending is beyond me. Since thats easily 25mil transfer fees plus about 25mil wages save.
If Rossi, Sahin and/or Hernanes end up at Milan, then it makes sense they replace Ibra and Silva. We'd still dramatically reduce our salaries in this scenario as none of these players would command a crazy wage. In fact, we could even get all 3 for a similar salary that Thiago alone was on (Sahin and Hernanes should be average between 2-3m, while Rossi surely won't be more than 2m max given his injury problems). Kaka on the other hand doesn't fit the policy though, as his salary is still extreme, though one can argue that we're still potentially only talking about 5m net per year compared to Ibra's 12, which is less than half.
About the other players you list, they were either sold or available. Mesbah was sold only for the player to reject the offer. There's no doubt in my mind the club would be happy to get rid of him. Taiwo was loaned out with an option to buy, which I presume is the best offer we had. Robinho was initially on the market, but has since been taken off as offers were either inadequate (Santos), simply unlikely (Malaga) or others have since looked more likely to leave (Cassano). Finally, there's Mexes, who the club are prepared to sell if Deschamps is to be believed.
Also, regarding Silva, I think his recent comment about Ibra playing a big part in his decision to leave for PSG suggests that he was on board with the move, rather than just being sold by Milan.
