Raduciou and Laudrup, who spent one year at the San Siro. Papin? An expensive flop who failed to replace Van Basten, who was done in 1992, and Gullit, who left a year later. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

They spent a World record fee for Gullit. Donadoni, Galli, Massaro and Ancelotti cost millions� of lira. Simeone was signed from relegated Como, after scoring SIX GOALS. The Italians that arrived after that period were not the best local players - Panucci and Eranio were promising players signed from Genoa but not Baggio or Vialli level stars and guess which club signed them? Milan were dragged into a bidding war with Juve over Lentini and paid 1 million more than Juve were prepared to pay for him. Lentini was the last huge money Italian signing Milan made until signing Nesta 10 years later. Ambrosini was signed as a teenager from Cesena and Abbiati arrived from Milan's satellite club Monza. This was nothing like the Galacticos policy of either the 1950s or 1990s. The only players that played in the starting XI of the 1995 European Cup final against Ajax that weren't there during the Sacchi era were Desailly, Boban. Eranio, Lentini and reserve goalkeeper Ielpo were on the bench. Savicevic was 'injured'. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

Platini came for peanuts. Something like 250 million lire (as opposed to 15 billion for Maradona two years later). Boniek was more expensive, but not terribly so. > What a wonderful story.

An > expensive flop who failed to replace Van Basten, who was done in 1992, and > Gullit, who left a year later. That's exactly the meaning of hoarding. Milan in the 1990-1995 period spent millions for players who ended up being expensive flops because they couldn't win a regular spot on the starting 11. By the way, the greatest example is Fernando De Napoli, who went from being a NT starter to a Serie C player within two years (two years spent sitting in the San Siro luxury box). D

You are accusing one of the most successfull German coaches ever of drug abuse, and refer to his debatable history. 1) What of his history is debatable? 2) Where is the proof of his drug abuse?
