Looks like the Milan sale has collapsed again, today was supposed to be a deadline for commitment by the buying group and nothing happened.

Calculating Infinity
Watching the transfer window is making me sad. Palermo are worse off everywhere on the team, except maybe defense, where it's the same. Replacing Sorrentino with a completely unproven guy. Thin midfield, full of nobodies that showed their struggle in the league well enough last season. The attack? Vazquez and Gilardino replaced by no one, because why bother replacing them, already got lots of talented players such as ... Ehm, nevermind.

Ballardini will at most make it two matches into the season. It's a certainty. Just like relegation.

And Pipo is most likely leaving from what I'm hearing, poor Palermo :(


also Candreva to Inter is official, that's a good signing for them so I don't like it.

Berlusconi is trying to sell some pretty bad turds such as Ac Milan and Mediaset Premium (also known as Merdaset Premium) and he just can't get over the fact that they're worth nothing.

They're both probably worth less than nothing in that their acquisition would just mean a mountain of debt for the purchaser. He also isn't trying to sell anything he's sitting on his rear end stalling until he dies all the while making up bullshit about Chinese consortiums.

Cacati in mano e pigliati a schiaffi!

This transfer window is crazy for Juventus. Replacement or depth at right back with Alves, still trying to get Cuadrado for even more unless they plan on shipping off Evra. Pjanic, Benatia, Higuain...their line up is loving crazy. Like good CL contenders.

Juve is gonna win again this year. That line up is retarded.

Expect to see some crazy signings from Viola if there is a chain of events that might happen cause of the sale of Higuain. Since Higuain went to Juve, Napoli are after both Icardi and Kalinic. Kalinic might go for around 25m as well as Babacar who we apparently are stupidly thinking of selling. We used to have striker issues but we have a lot now so it would probably go to mid or defense. We are also buying young kids like nuts. And sadly apparently the new awesome wunderkid Diakhate isn't as glamorous this time around in Amoeba.

Milan sale failed, sky is blue.

I'm sure you're all ecstatic that I shall be joining you in watching this joke competition this year to follow the hilarious exploits of Milik and Zielinski. Well, at least until they're both benched and sent to the stands by December, or my cable company drops coverage because Serie A has the lowest ratings, whichever comes first. Also, Juve merda.

Milan were actually sold this morning? Maybe? GdS are reporting this, at least. And Milan's website is crashed at the moment.

Yeah I'm reading that a third Chinese group has actually signed the papers. Fininvest is holding a press conference soon. Still don't believe it until I see berlusconi saying it out loud to a camera of a news agency that he doesn't own.

Wow, so it's true. Fininvest just put out a statement saying that the 99.93% of the club is being sold for 740 million. The details are here:

http://www.football-italia.net/88819/fininvest-milan-ownership-statement

Seems legit, only because the holding company officially released it. None of this means anything for the current transfer period though, so we may yet see another year of clowns before anything starts to change (better clowns). Of course I also suspect that this whole thing has a high probability of falling apart.

Napoli is a fun team to watch and are great until they fall apart at the last second. Last year it was about 3/4ths of the way through the season. I think we could say they might bring it down to just a few games this time, maybe even 1 or 2. Also reminder

Galliani's replacement is already locked up:

It's Marco Fassone, who most recently was Inter's A.D., and Napoli's before that. Seems like a decent enough choice. He wont take over anything until December though.

In Allegri's press conference today he said that he's called in Pogba to report to training camp on Monday. I honestly never expected that to happen, although I suppose he could always no show.
