Football at Nottingham Forest

Galliani sincerely wanted to persuade George Wood to join AC Milan. He did not think Twain would spoil things in the end and turn it into a farce.

George Wood did not come, which wasted half a month of AC Milan's precious time. Now that the summer transfer window was closing, Gattuso's successor had yet to be found.

Ancelotti's gloomy face was now even gloomier. If Galliani and Braida failed to find him a new defensive midfielder, AC Milan's plans for the league title in the new season would be dashed. Galliani also knew what kind of players the team needed which was what made him better than the former Real Madrid's director of football, Mijatović.

Blasi, the candidate Ancelotti had brought up earlier, could also be considered, but Galliani did not put all his eggs in the same basket at the time. He looked for two other players while the team contacted Blasi's agent.
