    <span class="titolo">Berlusconi To Spend &pound;70m On New Signings</span></p>

    <span class="sommario">Milan President Silvio Berlusconi is ready to splash out a monumental &pound;70m on new signings for the club.</span></p>

    The Corriere dello Sport claims that the former Italian Prime Minister has finally accepted that the Rossoneri need to invest in some new blood if they are to continue to compete at the top level. </p>

    Berlusconi will make &pound;25m available in January, and the remaining &pound;45m will be spent in the summer. </p>

    Top of the shopping list according to the Italian newspaper are Azzurri stars Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluca Zambrotta, Palermo striker Amauri, Valencia midfielder David Albelda and Lyon&rsquo;s Kim Kallstrom. </p>

    Milan have made the worst start to a domestic season since Berlusconi took over the club 21 years and currently sit in 13th place in the table. </p>

    A major factor in the European Champions&rsquo; poor form has been their transfer campaign in the summer just past. </p>

    Only the 31-year-old Emerson and the 34-year-old Ibrahim Ba, two players way past their best, were brought to the club. </p>

    Teenage wonderkid Alexandre Pato was also signed from Internacional, although he is ineligible to play until January.</p>

    A 34 year-old central defender, a 30 year-old wingback, a 27 year-old striker, a 30 year-old defensive midfielder, and a 25 year-old central midfielder.</p>

    When is someone going to realize that Milan is struggling because they are old? Cannavaro, Zambrotta and Albelda are very good players, but its time for Milan to stop getting guys who are on the downside of their careers. Kallstrom would be a good pick up, but the others just don't make sense. Kaka needs some younger guys who can keep up with him.</p>

    You make up a good point there agoo. They have been with this team for a long time now, while teams like Roma, Lazio, and Juventus, are getting younger.</p>

    There's no problem with keeping your AC Milan career or guys who have been there for years. Just when you're adding to an aged roster, you can't make them older. I thought they figured that out when they went for Pato who is too young to be signed until January, but I guess not. Its time to start looking at some younger Italians to bring in as these guys age and move on.</p>
