Holy crap its all falling into place! I could be getting my wish! The only way this could get better is if they bought another defender... An attacking force of Pato, Ibra, Robinho, with Ronaldinho and Pirlo feeding them...I'm salivating.

I hope Zambrotta comes back quickly, or they find a deal for a defender, because they will need another one.

And Berlusconi is finally spending money again! Halleujah! Took him two crappy years(by Milan standards) to understand that again!

I was impressed by Milan's performance, Allegri had them playing inspired football.

"Roma are the favourites to sign me. I am waiting for the okay from Unicredit," said Borriello.
