He has given so much to the club, not only money, but his heart. You can see how he's like a father to so many players. If there is any justice in the world, he'll win soon.

Funny list though, Adriano & Stankovic was bought on January 2004, part of 03/04, not 04/05.

Forza Moratti though.

Nice list, thanks for sharing Jakey. You found those in Inter magazine?

Did we really buy Ventola twice? If so, i did not remember that. And we used 20€ for him? Wow...

I found the list here: http://sport.virgilio.it/it/cmc/calcio/20067/cmc_92927.html

I think we first bought Ventola, then gave half of him (half ownership) away and then bought that 50% back again. The same way we did with Adriano. I could be wrong though.

I knew that

Yes, and some great names too. You win some, you lose some, I guess. The important thing is to compare the 2 lists and to realize which has had a greater impact - the great performances of the good players, or the pathetic displays of the bad ones.

Moratti was not perfect, but hey, who is? He's one of us, and for that reason alone, I'd never want any other person helming this club.

Ciao,
