Thats just give's u an idea of the different between our management and others. Gila was a complete flop for milan in the past few years since he arrived and still they'll sell him for 14 million euros. While a WC player like mutu who was showing some excelent performances with us was sold for just 8 millions :faq1:
While there is no doubt that there is a difference between the newbies in our board and the experienced wolves in Milan, there are three things you forgot to mention :
1. Mutu spent 1 year out of football because he failed a drugs test for cocaine.
2. When he made his comeback he was used only occasionally, playing every third match only, mostly as a sub, out of position. He wasn't considered a world class striker anymore.
3. The team that sold Mutu to Fiorentina was a serie B club that just lost hundreds of millions.
Those were desperate times that called for desperate measures. If some foreign club wanted Mutu we would have certainly sold him there, for higher price. But it looks like no-one apart from Fiorentina wanted him and no-one was willing to pay more than 8m .
Today, looking from this perspective, we can say that it was a mistake to sell him, even more for such low price. Our directors admited that selling Mutu was a mistake.
But back then everything was different. You must have that in mind before you start criticizing.
After all, didn't we sell another young winger, sometime in 1999, for £10.5 million only ? I wonder why didn't Moggi see that the winger will become the best attacker in the world and will cost 5 times more only couple of years later.
Don't look with the eyes of a man who lives in 2008 when you talk about the years 1969, 1979, 1999, or 2006 in this case.
