Milan did not buy their way to titles in the 1980s and 1990s. Gullit was a World record transfer, for �6 million, back in 1987. Milan paid Ajax �1.5 million for Van Basten, they paid even less to sign Rijkaard from Sporting. The back four were already there. Donadoni and Ancelotti may have been low seven figure signings. Sacchi's built a relatively inexpensive side. Under Capello Milan started stockpiling talent but even then Papin aside they did so paying largely modest fees. Far from being a Chelski Milan are an example for every major club. Gullit, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Desailly, Savicevic, Boban, Gattuso, Kaka' all under �10 million. Shevchenko �15 million, Thiago Silva �10 million, Pato �15 million. Sure there have been some expensive flops (Oliveira, Gilardino) but overall not even Wenger can boast a better record in the transfer market. Milan's scouting is second to none. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

I dont know much about Milan from that era but a quick peak at the history of transfer records shows that they broke the world transfer record three times from '87 to 92', including twice in '92 itself! Gullit 6m 1987 Papin 10m 1992 Lentini 13m 1992 Even Chelsea cant hold a candle to that, it smells more like Real Madrid of the '00s. And please dont insult Wenger by comparing Milan's spending habits to his, he is unparalleled when it come to bargain hunting and developing players.

Buying success and no history are the criticisms Ive seen. Funny thing is most fans of the EPL wish their clubd be bought by some rich investors for an injection of cash. On LFC boards, fans gasp with excitement everytime one of those rich barosn from the Middle East are rumored to be on the verge of buying out Hicks & Gillet. Also funny thing is for a long time the Mancs spent money that no one else in England could match. |
