Key difference beeing that in 07/08 we finished third and qualified for CL, and in 08/09 we finished second and went to CL quarter finals
We had income, european football, and that first loan.
Milan is kinda where we were when we finished 7th for the first or second time. We couldnt sign shit. Our best chance was grotesque overpaying for Quagliarella, Matri, Toni, Vucinic.
And lets be honest. I doubt milan can even afford that at the moment without selling.
