If only Milan were, then there might've been a chance to see Gattuso save Man United.

Well since AC have escaped relegation, what are the odds of a Milan club winning? (even with the points deduction!)

Juve have plans to offload at least 7 of their A squad as they won't be able to pay the wage bill. Wonder what will happen to the big bucks sponsor deals? They are heavily loaded to coverage on prime time TV, and moreover The Champions League. If Inter don't win the league then I will go for Roma as choice numero duo!

Although he's expressed an interest in playing at Old Trafford at some point in his career, Gattuso said a while back that he would stay at Milan come what may, so him joining Man Utd now was always just a manc wet dream!
Some of the Juve players will follow their former manager to Real Madrid, but Inter may well pick a few up. Even with their points deduction, you may see AC Milan also benefit from the clearance sale in Turin, though del Pierro was another player who said he'd stick by his club.
Most likely moves are Vierra, Ibrahimovic and Toni to Inter; Kaka, Zambrotta, Emerson, Cannavaro and Buffon to Real (though Arsenal are meant to have an interest in Buffon, which must really please Lehmann!). Buffon could also be tempted to stay in Italy with Milan inspite of their points deduction, as they will still be playing in Serie A.
There is a photo in one of the tabloids of Cannavaro on a jet ski next to Roman Abramovich's yacht, and Nesta has also been a Chelsea target in the past, so both will be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. The only other players who may end up in the Premiership are Trezeguet (gets on with Wenger), Thurram (to Spurs or Bolton?), Camoranesi (he's been linked to Liverpool in the past) and Pirlo (Man Utd?)

And the ex-Serie A fire sale commences:
Luca Toni: Spurs
Cannavaro: Chelsea
Thuram: Arsenal
Vieira: a shock return to the Arse????
Celtic should put in a cheeky bid for Ibrahimovic or Trezeguet.................
!sherlock!
!doh!
