and why you didn't finish in a certain place in the standings last year Milanesta ???
Horrible decisions made by management in the transfer market LAST summer. (summer of 07)
Those dinosaurs as your fellow Juventus fan called Milan...have won the CL 7 times.
I agree we're over due for some more young blood. To help us in the Serie "A"
But the Scudetto has normally been a secondary cup in management's mind to the CL Cup. If they win the CL but finish fourth or even 6th in the league...I think they'd call it a successful season.
That all changed until we got our asses handed to us by Arsenal, and Fiornetina got fourth.
As a result management has no choice but to focus on the scudetto this season.
We need to get younger no doubt...But being consistant at or near the top is the hallmark of a great team. And I don't think that a year of not playing in the CL takes that away when you've won it as much as Milan has.
Winning the CL 5 times in the past 20 years and having 8 appearances in finals in the same amout of time doesn't get erased because we didn't qualify for 1 year.
