Then next time we play them we can lose 1 or 2-0 instead with that inside knowledge. 
As for appeal, that ship has sailed. We don't have the aggressive marketing and money of the PL, and we don't have the prestige of the 'Big 3' of Barca-Madrid-Bayern.
We also typically play embarrassing football until we need a goal and no offensive players are lining up to join us and spend 80 minutes outside our box in most big games.

Thats all and true, but despite all our profit and continued growth, its all futile if we miss the window to take the next step when opportunies present themselves, sometimes you just need to spend big to take that leap. And not just by selling big first as we keep doing, which tends to be taking step back same time you try to go to next level.
For example, our midfield right now is our biggiest joke, the best available player in that field who is young and outside a top club plays in Lazio, what does it take for us to sign him? We need him badly, preferably without weakening ourselves big in other area.
We wouldnt need him if we hadnt sold Pogba and Vidal, but what can you do, we are a team thats ok with being a high class stepping stone for now, but to stop being short changed in biggiest level, we need to put the breaks on that. For example, do not sell Dybala just to sign SMS, would just lead to a vicious cycle of us spending coming years of how to replace Dybala and how it is impossible task and inevitable or foolish to sell him etc.

This is smth i dont get. We didnt sell anyone under Conte. And Allegri got the best out of that team in his first season and we go further in CL under Allegri so we should earn more money under Allegri in terms of prize and commercial money + tv money. Yet we sell one starter every summer since 2015. Why. When we do better in europe now. Yes the players we signed under Conte were largely cheap like Tevez, Pirlo, Evra etc but we didnt sell anyone. Now we sell 1 from XI and therefore never manage to keep the core. Real hasnt sold starters. They sell depth or players who are not in manager books like James for Zidane. Ok Real has lot of financial power but we will never win with this model in europe AND the competition will only get harder with the likes of City & psg never having to worry about finance.
Who knows the milan clubs might start outspending us regularly and eventually smth changes as in our core getting old and we needing time to rebuild. Then it wont be all that easy in league either.
We missed our opportunity already i feel.
