Flamini seems to me like only good aquistion by Milan, I don't say that Ronaldinho is bad, but we all know why Milan brought him (PUBLICITY) and we all know that he is off-form for almost 2 yrs. To judge Milan mercato by Ronaldinho or Sheva transfer is silly, than let's sign Vieri, Crespo, Ljungberg and say how great job Secco did. Milan did a majoe gamble with theese players and I'm almost 100% sure that they will pretty much fail. Borrielo had one good season and now he is already injured and appereantly he is on the market again, and we all know how hard Milan worked to buy him. Now just imagine Secco do that and don't bring Criscito issue here cuz he at least had a chance to play with us and prove himself (ok, in not so good conditions but still...). So, Milan is far from owning us!!!
Roma had Juan last season too, so I won't consider him now. Baptista might be good, but we all know that he failed at Real and Arsenal and he yet need to prove himself and find his form from Seville. That left us tp Riise who is not bad player but not a great one too.
Inter like you said already had two superstar teams so they needed one or two players which they brought and we can say that they had a good mercato but still you forgot how they failed to sign Lampard and how they signed Muntari (mow, again imagine Secco do that). And only stupid person would think that we can reach Inter player potential and all their "superstars" in two-three seasons especially when you consider how much money inter always spent comparing to us.
Only Fiorentina had a good mercato comparing to us, and even that's doubtful since they also lost few important players.
So we aren't owned anywhere and one important thing which everyone seem to forget that we finished above Milan and Fiorentina and that we were better than them (esp. Milan) and that Milan needed way more improvents than us but it seems that they didn't got any.
Flamini > Poulsen
Ronaldinho+Borrielo > Amauri
Zambro >= Melberg
Sheva > Knezevic
I cant understand what you fail to see and keep in mind than Milan will buy a few more quality defenders.
As i said, their transfer market wasnt perfect, they did risked, but less than us, they took former-world class players and much more than we did.
I cant understand how our mercato can be considered better than theirs.
They bought better and more and you can only assume that they will suck more, when our unproven and worthless players we got can easily be proved flops.
I did not judge their transfer market by Sheva and Ronaldnho alone, these were words put in my mouth to corrupt my arguments.
I never trust hype, on the contrary, if you would know me better, you could tell...
-Juan could be a transfer, as our very own Andrade, but we were not si lucky, ours was an epic fail...
-Baptista is a very good player, he failed nowherem he was proved to be good enough besides world class players, you dont have to be a Real super star player to help this Roma, they inly had one forward in their squad and as you at the derby, Baptista can help them where no one else cans!
-Riise is not a great player??? Then tell me what Molinaro is!!
I wish we g=could get someone, half as good as Riise...
I agree that only a stupid person would consider that we could challenge Inter for any title, but unfortunately, they are plenty of them, their numbers do not only apply within the ranks of our fans only, but even within our managers...
Pathetic excuses were told, to give a false hope to, over confident fans and some room to dream for the dreamers, when the reality is painfully obvious and should not be defied...
