No, just giving credit for buying Milito, where no other club did.

Agreed! They bought many players that didn't make it. But that's besides the
point of Milito being a fantastic buy.

Inter didn't pay much for Milito. If Milan or Roma would have bought him it
could have been a different season.

Milito scored in every important game.

Well it's statistically possible to get make a good purchase once in a
while if you can buy everything in site.

They gave up about 8 players and cash, so it wasn't insubstantial.

Yes, I know, he's a good player.

They gave up the following for Milito and Motta combined (approx 40 mil):

- 22 milion cash
- Acquafresca (assumed value: 12 mln)
- Bonucci (assumed value: 200,000)
- Meggiorini (assumed value: 800,000)
- Viviano (assumed value: 4.7 milioni - half property)
- Fatic (assumed value: 300,000)

Considering these were 2 crucial players for Inter, it was a great buy.

Yes 30 million is pretty good for the top scorer in the league but
it's hardly a steal. And besides, it doesn't take a genius scout to
work out that the top scorer is worth having.

I wish the genius at Milan would have worked it out;)
