Despair…
By: Gianfranco |This whole week I have struggled for something to say. As I watch transfer rumor after transfer rumor fly by, I can’t help but sit here dumbfounded and ask quite polity WTF is going on!? Sure if you like Real Madrid this may be the best transfer season in history; Kaka, CRON, Benzema, and the possibility for more like Ribery and Villa. If you like Milan however it is a far different feeling, with the Cissokho failure, the Dzeko failure and now the courtship of the likes of Fabiano, Toni, and even the horrible Peter Crouch maybe things really are taking a turn for the worst for the Rossoneri and Serie A.

USA! USA! USA!
By: Gianfranco |There is this unwarranted belief that Milan fans should bow down to Brazil. Brazil is good, Brazil makes Milan a champion, Brazil has given us many spectacular players…Rivaldo, Roque Junior, Oliviera, El Gordo Ronaldo, and finally everyone’s favorite has been, Ronaldinho, who interestingly enough is probably partying with Adriano instead of making the Selecao.

By: Gianfranco |Yes I am a Milan fan, and I root for my Motherland, but there comes a time when one must appreciate a job well done. Hats off to the my homeland and the USMNT for an amazing win!

Red, Black, and Blue…a very abysmal Blue…
By: Gianfranco |I didn’t even want to acknowledge the current Azzurri setup or their run in the Confederations Cup, frankly I approached these games as a USMNT fan and at this point I am pleasantly surprised. But reading blogs, comments, and articles today has made it impossible to remain silent on the issue.

The Long Awaited Season Wrap, Sorry for the Wait!
By: Gianfranco |I have been procrastinating with this post for a few weeks now, I wrote it a day or two after the season, but as I mentioned in an earlier post I haven’t had the ability to push the publish button. The main reason being that by publishing this post I truly close the door on the Milan that I have known and loved for eight years. Yes this may seem a bit overdramatic but bear with me for a moment, and you will see that many of you close to the same age as me; we have been though a lot with this team. I remember leaving for college in Boston, packing my Milan jersey and with it the fear that I would lose touch with my team. Instead I journeyed with this team to Manchester, Istanbul, and even Athens, taking friends along for the ride. Now as I have settled in to a home in Connecticut and have become even more enamored with my team, it has changed before my eyes so drastically that I am left a bit speechless. Sometimes change is good, and it lead to better things, but I can’t help but wish for this season to start again, even with the same result. So I leave you with my final season grades.

Maldini Monday!?!?!
By: Gianfranco |Maldini Monday is in fact defunct with the retirement of Il Capitano; however, after reading this press conference transcription from acmilan.com, it was a must post. Any and all Maldini happenings will be posted as sporadic Maldini Monday’s in the future…

Disbelief
By: Gianfranco |It has really been a surreal few day as a Rossoneri and a football fan. In the span of a week the EPL and Serie A had sold their biggest stars, and fans of both clubs are left sitting and waiting for what the future may hold. My intial reaction was how on Earth can anyone stop Real Madrid, followed shortly thereafter by who on Earth is going to buy all those Dutchmen, and then finally who is going to play defense for that club?!!? Does it matter!?!?! So as I wonder if Carletto and his new Blues can compete with La Liga for the CL, I have a terrible sinking feeling regarding Milan’s chances in this new global order.

Put the Money Where Your Fingers Are!
By: Gianfranco |So that day has finally arrived, Kaka, Milan’s crown jewel has moved to Madrid. Still flip flopping on my emotions as to what I personally believe and feel, and as I get those on paper I will post. However, to lighten the mood a bit how about we all put our money where our mouths and fingers are as I ask you to go ahead and put yourself in Fester’s big old Italian leather loafers and tell me what you do with 50M. Remember that extra cash (10M) is probably going to be spent on Berlu’s hair dye, fake tan, hookers, and if any is left over blow…
