Adriano Galliani, this is your life: AC Milan's notable transfer activity since 2010/11

If you've been re-directed here from the forzaitalianfootball.com website, thanks for clicking. Here is the entire list of notable transfers AC Milan have made since the start of the 2010/11 season with a bracketed section detailing how their career has panned out since.

2010/11:

Mario Yepes: Centre-back, free (38 appearances and one goal, left club for Atalanta after contract expired).

Marco Amelia: Goalkeeper, 12 month loan (bought next summer for €3.5m, 24 appearances, still at Milan).

Sokratis Papastathopoulos: Centre back, €4.5m plus 50% of the rights of Gianmarco Zigoni (valued at €3.75m) Nnamdi Oduamadi (valued at €3.5m) and Rodney Strasser (€2.5m). Five appearances, no goals (A year later Milan sold Sokratis back to Genoa for €13m but bought out all the contracts of the co-owned players, meaning a 12 month loan cost them €1m. He was loaned 12 months to Werder Bremen who bought him in 2012 for €5m. They then sold him to Borussia Dortmund a year later for €9.5m. He has made 66 appearances in German football since leaving Milan. *inhales deeply*)

Kevin Prince Boateng: Midfielder, loan with the option to buy for around €7m (100 appearances, 17 goals, sold to Schalke 04 for €15m).

Robinho: Forward, €18m (130 appearances, 30 goals, couldn't be sold to hometown club Santos who didn't think he was worth €10m)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Striker, loan with option to buy for around €24m (85 appearances, 56 goals, sold to PSG for €20m)

Antonio Cassano: Forward, €3.3m (40 appearances, eight goals, 16 assists, used with €7m to buy 

Giampaolo Pazzini from Inter, joined Parma 12 months later)

Urby Emmanuelson: Midfielder, €2.5m (57 appearances, three goals, loaned to Fulham for half of 2012-13 season, still at Milan.)

Mark Van Bommel: Midfielder, free (50 appearances, no goals, extended six month deal by one year before leaving for free to PSV in 2012)

Didac Vila: Left-back, undisclosed fee (one appearance, no goals. Loaned out to Espanyol and Real Betis in the last two seasons.)

Nicola Legrottaglie: Centre back, free (One appearance, no goals. Moved to Catania at the end of the same season, played 66 games and scored eight goals.)

Note: Cassano was the replacement for the outgoing Ronaldhinho, who was then replaced with Giampaolo Pazzini, who's replacement while injured has been Alessandro Matri. So Ronaldinho > Cassano > Pazzini > Matri. Cool. 

2011/12: 

Philipe Mexes: Centre back, free (65 appearances, three goals)

Taye Taiwo: Left back, free (eight appearances, no goals, loaned to QPR, Dynamo Kyiv and now plays for Bursaspor)

Djamel Mesbah: Left back, undisclosed fee (14 appearances, one goal, used to swap with Parma for Christian Zaccardo)

Note: This was the summer/January that followed letting Andrea Pirlo walk to Juventus for free because they had Van Bommel in front of the defense. Van Bommel is now retired, Andrea Pirlo is, well, Andrea Pirlo.
