:beer: This is a bit surprising but this is the fact that Cassano might join Milan in January. Ancelloti has made the offer to him that he can join Milan. It will be great. Cassano in and JDT out. Check out in detail
http://www.goal.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=26159&idSez=20
I know Cassano has not got a good temper and behaviour but this is what he will learn playing at Milan. Apart from that he is a great player. Gattuso also has something to say about Cassano:

A striker with such a record obviously has all the reason to have a bad attitude. Maradona pales in comparison with this miracle player.

youssof the attitude of the player is very questionable but not the talent, the sheer class and the amazing contribution he has given to this roma, IMO somethimes even greater than Totti

Sorry but then you have obviously not seen Maradona play, he makes Cassano look like an ordinary player.
My basic point is that some ppl here think that we should be glad if Cassano would want to join Milan. Imho in this situation it's the other way around since so far he has only shown he has talent but nothing more. That will also be his place when he arrives at Milan: at the very bottom of the picking order. I have my doubts if he has enough to brains to realize that and wont start showing the same behaviour as with Roma.
cassano IMO is definatly better than totti... but not close to the great maradona!
totti jonaid... i dont think its wise to sell JDT, hes one of our most important players, if any changes should take place it should be in the summer, and if crespo doesnt find his form then he should go back.
cassano IMO is definatly better than totti...
What do you base that on? Totti have a better record than Cassano with more goals from a deeper position. I do not agree on your opinion, Cassano may be better in the future, but Totti is the king in Roma still.
hes the king because hes been there more... i think in terms of talent theyre just as good, in terms of attitude theyre both just as crappy in terms of consistency however i think cassano is better. sorry but i dont like totti, hes just a sore loser!
cassano is playing better football at his age than zidane, totti and baggio where.
if milan can sign him they must, let alone that he's a fabulous talent he plays the ideal position for us. he is support striker to shevchenko that we have all been dreaming of.

u can't compare maradona to cassano. yah, sorry you haven't seen maradona play have you. be honest.
well maradona only really hit fame when he transferred to napoli when he was 24 and i doubt anyone has an in depth knowledge of his juniors and boca years (cause at barca he was kinda rubbish).
however i'm not thinking cassano will be the next maradona as he is the best player that has ever lived in my opinion.

Great talent, his outbursts are pathetic though. He may be 22 years old but he acts like he's 10. He really needs to grow up, too bad it won't happen with head-cases like Totti and Montella hanging around him.
Send him to a proffesional club (hopefully not you guys) and he may evolve into a better human being... and football player.

Maradona was famous long before that. He singlehandedly won the -79 youth world cup for Argentina. I talked to one of his opponents in that match (A russian) and he said that they had two men manmarking him and he still ended up MOM.

Well I think it is a bit harsh to compare Cassano with Maradona. Cassano is just started to show signs of a great player but he is never as mature as Maradona.When Cassano turns 30 or 32 then we can compare him with Maradona. If u say that Maradona was better then him at the age of 22 then this is not the way things go. A player may be great in his early days but can end up no where E.g Davor Sukur. And a player who is from no where can become great E.g El Hadji Diouf. So its to early to compare Cassano with Maradona. :punch:

guys...please let's be realestic here ,Maradona!!!!!...you are comparing a talented young player with a once in a life time phenomena..Period.
Cassano needs to leave Italy to mature properly. Regarding Milan, Gilardino is more suited & better value.

i thought you were sarcastic because this record isn't that great hahaha.

yes yes i know but still come on, it's not like cassano wasn't famous when he was young, he was signed by Roma for 20m when he was 18. I agree with totti_janiad, you can't realistically compare the two until cassano is a much older player. Like i said i think its maybe a bit unrealistic to expect another maradona but lets not get arrogant and claim it could never happen. there is a number of people who think Zidane is the greatest footballer ever now (not me, but even professional pundits have voiced this opinion) anyway, so between Pele, Maradona and Zidane football has turned out players of that calibre before, it's likely the next one is already honing his skills at some club right now.
Zizu might be the closest to Diego, but better? Ridiculous I would say. Diego's attitude in the pitch and locker room was perfect, never fighting with coach or teammates. Cassano needs much improvement there.

our right flank is perfect kaka' cafu and sheva and rino.
but ı cant say the same thing on the left flank so ı want cassano adds more width to left flank.
imagine
left flank cassano seedorf and pancaro.it would be nice.seedorf and cassano partnership on the left wing.
ı want cassano so much.
Kaká plays on the left more than the right.
Part of his game is to turn inside from the left and unleash a shot.
If Milan wont to have problems with discipline they will sign Cassano
Zizu might be the closest to Diego, but better? Ridiculous I would say. Diego's attitude in the pitch and locker room was perfect, never fighting with coach or teammates. Cassano needs much improvement there.
That's becoz he had his own private coach and didn't train much with he's team mates...

CASSANO ON THE MARKET-
Sensi has stated he probably won't remain in Roma cause he's too expensive and he's not playing like they expect from him..soon the official reports on footie sites
ACMILAN1983
21-10-2004, 19:47
Cassano seems quite a realistic prospect at the moment ;)
great player but he is not a squad player, too big ego, it wont change i think
even with age, he is a spoilt child and will always be as such in my opinion
gildardino is a quiet sensible player much better value
JDT meanwhile is exactly the type of professional milan need to keep
cassano is exactly not
personally, jdt is great for milan, he always seems to up the tempo when he is on and unlike super pipo actually stays on side as well. how many times has he come on ony to score?
gilardino is a great player but give him another year cutting his teath before the sharks really start to circle instead of the media four play we had all summer.
cassano, i thought i was the only one who picked up the sarcasim in the maradonna comparison, had me in tears laughing. i think though milan could be a good place for him, i mean how can he maintain an ego considering who is around him? how can he start to argue in training sessions with the likes of maldini, cafu, seedorf etc... around him? eiter of those have more silverwear in their teeth than he in his entire career! so i think possibly the only club where cassano could really grow up and realise that he is insignificant compared to others is milan. coudl be a great move.

Cassano scored 14 and assisted over 20 last season, being second best assister after Mancini. That's over 34 goals he's been directly involved in. Indirectly, more. Statistically in both goals and very dominantly in assists, he's head and shoulders taller than Kaka.
Romas slump coincided with Cassanos. Last season was not Cassanos best in his career, count on that. With or without attitude. Let us hope he'll leave his mark wearing :rone:

These stats doesn't make him better than Kakà who have had the best first season ever in serie a for a young foreigner player :rone:
both are great.... if it werent for that attitude problem cassano would just be almost the best buy... the best would be a weah/van basten like player... big guy with great skills and can drop back at times... i.e drogba zlatan like! thats what i think atleast

I don't want to compare Cassano with other players, let alone Maradona. We already have Shevckenko, Inzaghi, Tomasson and Crespo -- adding Cassano's talent into this existing quartet is great!
...but seriously folks, his super-ego? It is unfortunate that his attitude is overshadowing his talents at the moment. Unless Ancelotti can sort this fellow out, I'd rather see him somewhere else than Milan.

Cassano VS Murinho should be a great match. see who get the knockout punch. :grinser:
but i think cassano is a very good player. the problem is whether Ancelotti can tame him which i think he might be able to. if Ancelotti can make inter reach second place and almost gotten the champs then he must have some special man management skills that we are unaware of.
AC Milan target Gilardino: I want to leave Parma in Serie A
tribalfootball.com - March 21, 2005
Parma striker Alberto Gilardino admits if he must leave at the end of this season then he wants to join "a great club".
Gilardino reportedly already has an agreement with AC Milan for next season and he said: "If I had to leave Parma I would want to leave the club in Serie A and with a beautiful memory of me.
"However, in order to move from Emilia I would demand I go to one of the great clubs.
"In any case, my next future goal I see is staying in Italy because I do not want to lose my national team place. Then later it would appeal to me an experience in Spain."

Personally, Cassano is too ugly to be a Rosseneri :D
But personal preference aside, his talent will definitely be an asset to Milan. However if were to choose between Cassano and Gilardino, i would choose the latter for his subtle character but dare-to-win attitude, so often seen in Parma's recent good UEFA outing. I believe this under-rated young talent will surpass the likes of Cassano in years to come.
The previous post had nothing to do with Cassano!
I realize so many friends are talking about Cassano's attitude, that's because he doesn't admire. He doesn't admire his coach his mates and his team. He can never be the same errogant with Rossoneri, the best are around him.
i believe we need a gila more than cassano in the team now. we need a target man like what crespo is doing for us now.

Roma-Cassano Meeting Soon
7/26/2005 8:02:00 AM
The Giallorossi want to offer a new contract to the young talent.
Roma have not given up hope yet on renewing Antonio Cassano’s contract as they are desperately trying to hold on to ‘Peter Pan’ instead of losing him next year on a free transfer.
The club has therefore decided to meet the player’s agent, Giuseppe Bozzo, and offer a 5-year deal at 4 million Euros per year. Cassano will most likely refuse the offer as other clubs can offer him a higher salary.
A lot also depends on the player’s willingness to stay in Rome, which after the incidents with the Giallorossi fans in this early part of the pre-season, the chances of Cassano remaining in the Capital city remain very bleak.

free next summer??? ... i was thinking, we were thinking of EITHER gila OR cassano, who wouldve thought we could end up having both? the future of italy at milan??? ... personally i am still not satisfied with having pippo here, i would love to see us have cassano instead and roma are forced to sell if he doesnt sign the contract ... i think we could get him at a low price, maybe if nonda was forced to go back because of their embargo we can trade players... wait, come to think of it, with that embargo, doesnt it mean cassano will surely leave for free next season?? unless some1 signs him in january? i mean, they cant be involved in transfers, output or input... maybe a pre-contract should be made, maybe we can make a profit by bringing cassano here, we sell inzaghi, we get money, we get cassano for free... so its cassano + $$$ - inzaghi = :rock3:

Unless Cassano drastically changes his behavior and mentality, I believe his coming to Milan would create unrest, bad discipline, and will destroy the chemistry within the other players. Undoubtedly Cassano is a very, very talanted player, in fact one of the biggest young talants around. However, with his lack of discipline and respect for both coach and teammates, Cassano would, as Moratti said, "cause more problems than he would actually solve."
One other thing though, Cassano's contract with Roma expires in 1 year and negotiation for an extension have been basically frozen. No matter what his new team will be, my guess is he would be leaving Roma from next year for everyone would prefer waiting for just one more year and pay nothing as opposed to signing him now for 15 mil euros or so.
i got same oppinion. cassasno has more potentional then gila. but gila is great. only cassano could b greater :p

yeah i said we should look to sign him on a pre contract, meaning for free, besides, if cassano doesnt sign the contract doesnt it mean hell be a free agent 100%??? because roma arent allowed to buy or sell.. and we would also have a similar situaiton to gilas because gila was free and parma needed money (like cassano and roma) but they cannot ask for high prices because its not in their interest.
as for his attitude, u cannot argue there, hes the badboy of this sport...but i think alot has to do with the environment around him, and we have one of the most harmonious ones in the world, i think personally hes going through a bad time, maybe he needs to change his team, i think we might end up handling him well.
by the way i cannot believe u quoted moratti, how often do u see that?

Roma ‘fail’ in Cassano talks
Thursday 28 July, 2005
Antonio Cassano’s future at Roma is still in doubt after contract talks are believed to have stalled yet again.
The Italian starlet has just one-year left on his current contract and the club are keen to tie him down to a new deal, rather than lose him on a free transfer next summer.
Giallorossi chief Rosella Sensi had a two hour meeting with the player and his agent but no agreement was struck.
Cassano, a £20m signing from Bari in 2001, wants a five-year deal worth almost £18m in total wages.
Roma, who had initially hinted that they were ready to meet those demands in February, are now only said to be willing to offer him £11m over the same duration.
The two parties are set to meet again over the next few days but an agreement is unlikely to be reached given the economical difference.
Roma would ideally like to sell Cassano but their transfer embargo is currently blocking that alternative.
The Stadio Olimpico club can’t register any new players right now which means that Juve’s proposed player plus cash deal for the 23-year-old can’t take place.
Real Madrid, Milan and Inter are also likely to join the Turin giants in his chase should Cassano be available on a free transfer next June.

hmm our transfer directors are excellent, if we were thinking of Cassano either for this year or for next year, we would have already moved for him.. Milan isn´t a team that takes a long time to admit their interest in players. I think if we are thinking of him, a pre-contract would have been rumoured some where as many said. But unfortunately, I doubt we will be try to get him although I really think we should. Some what of a pre-contract (or 1st option has others may say) has been agreed for Kompany (which could be just rumours). Im hoping to see any rumours linking Cassano to us in the near future. Im guessing next year Pippo will be removed from Milan if he continues having injuries this season.

well i don't think he is overrated. he is a woldclass talent.

Roma does have a bunch of good players, and Cassano - like Totti - I believe can be great on the pitch, but off the pitch they're just really horrible
Despite his attitude, I dont think he'll come seeing that hes not really necessary to Milan right now
Cassano wont come to Milan.
thanks for clearing it out, i cant sleep with this on my mind :D
why we take cassano of roma. ok he is great striker like I already said, player with great future.
but we have enough attackers.
if roma wanne let some players go tue to there conflicts with transfermarket.
lets buy 'DE ROSSI' he is an international. great midfielder, hard worker. great player for our midfield and only +-23years old

but we have enough attackers.
Inzaghi is injured ... again ... and chances are, as soon as he comes back in the team, he will play a couple of games and will be flying to Antwerp for yet another visit to Prof. Martens.
Last season, Vieri was constantly injured too, so he is far from certainty either. This leaves us with two forwards we can rely on. I am not sure about you, but the last thing I would call this is "enough"

I think if Chelsea get him for 10M pounds, or some ridiculous price like that, then we would have missed out on a good opportunity.
While I have previously voiced my dislike for his poor attitude, I think playing with players of the calibre and maturity of Maldini, Sheva, and Vieri may very well improve his dysmal disposition, making him into a better person, and by extention, a better player.
Allowing him to go to Chelski would be a mistake for Milan, as I agree with zlatanov that with 2 injury prone strikers, Milan could do much worse than sign this youngster.

Cafu said that he would like Cassano to come to Milan in a statement on acmilan.com today.
Cassano could also be played behind 2 strikers if for some reason Kaka wasn't able to play ... If he's affordable then fine, but it won't happen. The set-up at Milan is always noted for its serenity and calmness, so we'd have a great chance of improving his attitude.
zlatanov

TAS has just lifted the transfer embargo FIFA had placed on Roma - www.gazzetta.it/calcio.
This means Cassano is almost surely leaving Roma this season since next year he will be a free agent and a contract extension seems to be the last thing he wants. Now the question is is it gonna be Milan or Juve, who gets him ...
What if Cassano just signs a 2 year extension or something ? With the embargo lifted isn't there a chance he might wait to see who Roma bring in and give it another season at least before he moves on ? It's slim i know, especially if he's burned all his bridges at Roma so to speak.
I'd love to see him at Milan, but i think he may end up at Juventus, but they would surely have to sell someone first otherwise they'll end up with 6 strikers. Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic, Del Piero, Zalayeta, Mutu and Cassano ?? I know Zalayeta might go in a deal for Miguel and i guess Mutu may be the next to be sacrificed, so who knows for sure.
With it being a World Cup season (as every player keeps mentioning) he would surely want first team football, something he wouldn't be guaranteed at either us or Juventus. Unless we change our system a little ? Play 4-2-3-1 with the three being Cassano, Shevchenko, Kaka ... and Gilardino further forward.
We still need cover at right back and for me a very good midfielder who will push Seedorf ( i guess that could be Jankulovski as he's being lined up to play everywhere on the left side and the right side at the moment) .. then maybe we can think about Cassano.

Cassano wants more money...Chelsea type money...its as simple as that..he will go to any club, as long as it:
a) allows him to make the type of money he is after (in excess of 100K a week I am sure)
b) keeps him under Lippi´s eye..
Its as simple as that...he would leave Roma for Lazio if the skyblues had the money to buy and pay him... :delol:
with 2 of our strikers being frequently injured recently... cassano if he came might have more playing time than he could expect ... we also have the money to pay him, moggi said its a waste of time to think about getting cassano so i would say we have the best chance of getting him... i would sell inzaghi in a blink of an eye and get cassano instead, it sounds much better and its also better for us financially. im guessing if chelsea came in for him he would join them unless he wants to stay in italy
If milan's doctors cant fix pippo for this season, and even if they do, next year he is finished, we should chase cassano. Vieri looks like he is ok. But this could mean only one thing- sheva is on his way out and milan are gonna splash the money on cassano ( ? ), cicinho, CD, and some CM.
I'd hate to loose sheva, but it looks like we badly need some money. Good thing is that if Silvio gets in the ring, and he will, one person who will fly from milano will be Carlo, and sheva will stay. About cassano's temperament- he will be ok in milanello. There are some serious people in here, its not roma! If we get him this year with sheva still in, i just dont see where will he fit in. And its certan that he wouldnt want to be a sub. If carlo wants him in kaka's position, thats just insane and stupid. But, if we make some pre-contract stuff with him, next year we could have gila-cassano and sheva. And play 3-4-2-1 like this...

---stam-nesta-chivu(!!!)

i think it would be wise to make a move for cassano. He is a hot head, but he is still quite young. Milan are in the Market for a 5th striker as theres is no gurantee how Inzaghi will do in the next season. If milan can get Cassano for £10 mil i would say that is a good buy. Its better to get him so that Juve cant.
Now that the trade thing on Roma has gone, they want to sell Cassano now while still can, hes contract ends next season, and teams could pick cassano up for free. I read this morning that Milan have offered Abbiati as part of the deal for Cassano.
from 30mil € to 10mill € changed the transfer some.
pff i think we will be to late. if roma wanne sell they would not sell em at a Serie A team
from 30mil € to 10mill € changed the transfer some.
pff i think we will be to late. if roma wanne sell they would not sell em at a Serie A team
i think the best thing for us to do is to buy cassano for something like 15M and sell inzaghi for something like 10M ... there would be a 5M difference there, which seems like a bargain for cassano
who wouldve thought that we might end up with both cassano and gila in the same summer?!?!

Now that the transfer embargo is lifted, chances are the club that buys Cassano will give money+players for him since both major "players" fighting for him - Milan and Juve - have already made their "big-money" transfers in the form of Gila and Vieira.
Juve are rumoured to be giving Miccoli and Chielini (probably loan) + cash for Cassano, while Milan - Simic, Abiatti(loan) + money. If this is true indeed, I would expect Milan to end up paying ~10 mil euros for Cassano - provided that he comes here, of course - and this is a bargain price for a talent of his calibre, IMO.
As for selling Inzaghi - mk18, who do you think will pay 10 mil euros for a 32 yo player, who is constantly injured and may never even play again?

Exactly. And his high wage is another problem. Inzaghi will most likely stay with us, well, I don't mind that at all anyway. If we could grab Cassano, we could stop worrying about our attacking lines for ten years. :kiss2:
A very possible scenario, however, is that Roma offers an extention and Cassano accepts. After all, Roma paid more than 20M when they bought him, it would have killed them if he is let go so easily. :hammer: If we can get him below 20M, that would be a good buy already. But I doubt that it is going to happen.
If milan's doctors cant fix pippo for this season, and even if they do, next year he is finished, we should chase cassano. Vieri looks like he is ok. But this could mean only one thing- sheva is on his way out and milan are gonna splash the money on cassano ( ? ), cicinho, CD, and some CM.
I'd hate to loose sheva, but it looks like we badly need some money. Good thing is that if Silvio gets in the ring, and he will, one person who will fly from milano will be Carlo, and sheva will stay. About cassano's temperament- he will be ok in milanello. There are some serious people in here, its not roma! If we get him this year with sheva still in, i just dont see where will he fit in. And its certan that he wouldnt want to be a sub. If carlo wants him in kaka's position, thats just insane and stupid. But, if we make some pre-contract stuff with him, next year we could have gila-cassano and sheva. And play 3-4-2-1 like this...

Berlu (channel4.com) has hinted that he may go for Cassano, after Milan took the Berlu trophy...
He may very well be serious...hmmmm the silly season just got 3x more silly!!!
(But somehow, somehow, he may just surprise me and actually get the ugly duckling) :D
I don't think we need him, Cassano is a first team player, in any team. We have no first team spot to guarantee him.
Far better buying someone else who will accept the subs role, better yet, far better just using Inzaghi if we can and going for someone to push Seedorf out the squad.
I don't think Cassano will join us, since he's a trouble maker and he has no guarantee of a place with us. However Cassano is a great player and there are doubts about Inzaghi as Berlusconi just said 2 days ago.
It would be great to have Gilardino-Cassano-Kaka since they are all 23 years however I still think that Cassano will join Juve not us
This is from calciomercato yesterday...obvously Abbiati can longer be inlcuded.....but anyway.....
Milan: il piano per Cassano (CS)
Data: Mercoledì, 17 agosto @ 10:15:00 CEST
Argomento: Rassegna Stampa
La Roma cede Cassano per 18 mln cash, Galliani vuole darne 8-10 più una contropartita (lo svizzero Voegel, il croato Simic o forse Abbiati). Intanto Ancelotti dà il suo gradimento: "e' un grandee qui non darebbe guai".
Juve where practically giving him to us today. "he is not a Juve target, he would be good at Milan however." was pretty much exactly what he said.
This is so odd. I do not know what to expect. I'll say again, we don't really need him, but turn down the chance to get Cassano? no way.
and from channel4 today.....
Juve ‘hand’ Cassano to Milan Thursday 18 August, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus have opened the door for title rivals Milan to make a bid for Roma enigma Antonio Cassano.
The player, whose present contract expires in 2006, has been hotly linked with a switch to Turin all summer.
But the Old Lady have again stated that he is not a transfer target, insisting he would be more useful at Milan.
"We think that Cassano is a good player but there is no room for him here," director general Luciano Moggi told Sky Sport Italia.
"However, I do think that the player could join Milan where he would certainly be given more of a chance to be used properly."
Despite Moggi’s latest statement, there are whispers which suggest that the attacker could still arrive at the Delle Alpi.
Juventus’ surprise capture of left-back Federico Balzaretti on Wednesday may see Giorgio Chiellini sacrificed.
The latter has been strongly linked with a move to Roma, along with Fabrizio Miccoli, in a possible player plus cash deal for Cassano.
Another man who signed for the Turin giants yesterday was goalkeeper Christian Abbiati from Milan.
"We are very happy to have him here, he is one of the best goalkeepers in circulation," added Moggi.
"It was tough to find such a strong goalkeeper at this moment in time and we must thank (Milan owner) Silvio Berlusconi who said on Sunday that he would look to give us a hand.
"The injury sustained by Gigi Buffon was a big blow for us, Berlusconi wanted to do something and he kept his word.
"Abbiati will train with us from Thursday and he says he is already prepared to play on Saturday (against Inter in the Italian Super Cup)."
I'll say again, we don't really need him, but turn down the chance to get Cassano? no way.
Exactly, I don't know what will do with Him Carlo but if there is a chance to get Cassano than Milan must but Him!
I don't know how a deal like this would sit with Roma or Cassano but I think a great option would be if we pay Roma, say, 8m or so, for Cassano's signature next summer. Roma get money and keep the player as long as possible without losing him for nothing, it's obvious he's going to leave then and Juve aren't going in for him, and it allows us to free up some space for him as Rui is well into his twilight years and cassano could play there and pippo and bobo are ageing backups.
?
if we can get cassano for £8M-£10M then we should do it because thats a steal!!
he could sign a four year contract and if he didnt settle we could sell him for a tidy sum..(like the way in which madrid picked up owen for the cheap and now could sell him for a handsome profit).
he`d be an ideal replacement for rui.
If he is to be in our team this season then I think we're looking at 15m, if there is a way to negotiate a sort of next season deal then 8m is very realistic.
Roma will almost certainly lose him for nothing if no one goes in for him, Madrid, Juve and Milan are the only teams in for him (so far). Madrid have an overload of strikers, Juve aren't going to take the bait but Berlusconi has suggested he might.

15 million at most for him
If the kid didnt have such a bad attitude, we would be talking af probably around 50 million for the kid. Problem is though he does have the bad attitude and im not sure where he would fit in. Then again his arrogance could really see us through the collapses like Liverpool and Depor. The kid doesnt have any fear.

18-08-2005, 09:35
to me that is kind of a slap in the face . . . why should Moggi be telling Milan who to pick up, or even suggest that we would need him for our attack, knowing that we already have four strikers?
In milan cassano will behave himself, you can be sure of it.
I just wanna know if this moggi's statemant is real or just another lie... on the other hand , not even moggi wants to step on silvio's playground... if we can get cassano for around 10mil, + some player, its a great job!
I don't think anyone will want to splash out the 15 million Sensi is asking when Cassano will be available for free in 6 months, it's simply not good business in my opinion.

Roma have apparently valued him at £12, which I guess isn't that bad a price. If we get him, I just hope we can help focus his attitude problems into his game rather than have it disrupting our squad.
ps - sorry, but I don't remember the source on the price
Roma have apparently valued him at £12
too steep for a player who will be for free in 5 months time. thats why everyone is sitting back and watching.

The point is we don't need another striker. Hope pippo is doing well with his recovery programme. The arrival of oddo is more welcoming as we need cover on that area.
remember his wages and signing on fee will be on the large side.
Warro Bantan
18-08-2005, 12:29
What some of us are missing is that Roma will try to get money for him now, rather than nothing later.
As far as I know he still hasnt signed Roma´s improved offer...so...unless he backtracks, and signs the contract extention with the Roman outfit, he will be sold...and why not to Milan? :dontkn:
He is good enough a player to play in Rui or Kaka´s position..but the trouble is, he wont be guaranteed a starting place, but he can and probably will be sent to the reserves or primavera team the minute he shows any petulance with regard to not having an automatic start.
Chelsea has been quiet, and with their aquisition of Essien, they claim their transfer season is over. Who else is there, apart from Inter (who really are in a similar position to us, ie they dont have any space for him)?
We could, as has been suggested, buy him now, and loan him back to Roma until season´s end...
All in all, dont care if he comes, but I do care where he goes....would hate to see him strengthen our rivals, so I hope if he doesnt come to us, that he leaves Italy, but in a World Cup year, I doubt he will want to do that...and meazza his wages and signing on fee would be somthing Berlu would be aware of, and as such, shouldnt concern us, as Berlu can more than afford it, even if AC Milan as a club cant.
we do have space for cassano. if he came i think our mid n atack wud look like this:
gattusso(ambro)-----pirlo(rui,vogel)--------serginho(seedrof)
---------------------kaka(cassano)------------------------
-----------sheva(vieri)---------------gila(pippo)------------
this way cassano can challenge kaka n make kaka work hard. also with these players carlo can surely use more rotation considering that cassano-vieri-pippo wud b the replacements.
what about this:
--------rino-------

We have a space for everyone, it is just a question of on the pitch or the bench.. ;) :tong: Kidding..
Seriously, with so many super stars packed in the same department, there is bound to be tension, healthy or not. Some can take it well, some may not. :stress:
However, if Cassano does come, I will be very happy. I will be even happier if he can drop his big and bad ego and become a team player. We will then just leave the headache to Ancelotti. :neww:

My argument, martin, was that we dont have an automatic starting berth for him...as far as I can recollect, he doesnt do much tackling, so he (as you pointed out) would be fighting for a place with Kaka or Rui...not with any of the other midfielders...
Would he be happy sitting out some games..or rather most games..? Kaka kept Rui Costa on the bench for months...do you think it would be any different for Cassano?
I.M.O.´s post:
what about this:
--------rino-------
--------------pirlo
----kaka---------
--------cassano--
-----sheva----gila is not a bad idea, but waaaaay too attacking for Serie A, and Carlo in particular. Also, it would mean Pirlo giving way to Ambrosini, as the only midfielder capable of breaking up attacks and tackling in that line up would be Rino...and we all know that Pirlo is "irreplaceable" ;)
If we went with a 3-4-1-2, then maybe he could be worked into the team:
..Stam...Nesta...Maldini/Kaladze
Cafu...Rino...Pirlo...Cassano/Serghino/Jankulovski
.........Kaka...........
.....Gila....Sheva.....
But with the 4-3-1-2 formation, I dont see him fitting into the starting lineup at all. :p146:
It is at least one year too early for us to get Cassano. If, God forbid, Sheva is sold next summer Cassano would be a great replacement. If in two years Pippo and Vieri retire, but Sheva remains, Cassano would be a great replacement.
If we get him know, and as he is not a bench player, we would pretty much have to play 4-2-3-1, with Cassano, Sheva and Kaka supporting Gila or Vieri. I just doubt that it will happen this year.

i really cant remember cassano playing there...
and i think he is not able to.
he should be at least behind the 2.

I would say 4-2-2-2.
although i doubt carlo would ever play this.
As much as i admire cassano, and i dont think there would be any problems regarding his behavior in milan.... we just cant use him this year! kaka is THE BEST in his position.
Sheva and gila will play in first 11 and vieri is first option from the bench. Maybe next year, if we sell pippo and vieri just getting his last year at milan, cassano would be first replacement. But, if we get cassano now.... im afraid we will look like Barca or Real M. And that is just awfull!! On the other hand, if he joing juve ( and he will...) juve will be just TOO strong! Moggi and Berlusconi have it all sorted out, we just have to wait. But still, i think we have some defensive problems we have to work on... out attack is more than fine!
Cassano is a hard one......do we really need him? depends how well pippo comes back form his injury...i dont think milan want to go through another season with only 3 strikers.....the thing with cassano is if he is avalable, you have to take him....if he joined inter or juve, real or chelski then i wouldnt be happy.....the only options that would make me happy is if he stayed at roma joined milan...as simple as that.....
its a hard decision for milan to make.....for starters his attitude is well documented..so how happy would he be siting on the bench for some games...but being in milan could possibly 'fix' his attitude...it would also allow us to rotate the front two with greater confidence....cassano-gila, gila-sheva, sheva-cassano, vieri-gila, vieri-cassano, vieri-sheva....ah well, i am guessing that milan will wait till the final days in august to make a decision, depending on how pippo pulls up...
if i had to choose though, i say get him.....
what if kaka gets injured or has another ****ty season? last year he wuz good but not as good as he cud b n we cudnt put sum1 in his place because we had nobody. i luv rui n think that he can still play great but onli if he comes from the bench. i like cassano here because he can b kaka's sub, play pippo's position, has alot of talent , iz fairly cheap and he is young. him n gila r the future of italy, it wud b nice to have them here.

Source: Football Italia
Alberto Gilardino has told Roma enigma Antonio Cassano to forget about a move to Milan this summer.
The youngster was linked with a San Siro switch earlier this week after Rossoneri patron Silvio Berlusconi conceded that the player was of interest.
But Gilardino, a £17m summer signing from Parma, says there is simply no need for him in northern Italy.
"Antonio is a great player who will be the fortune of Italian football," he said. "But I don’t think there is enough room for him here. We already have so many attackers."
Milan’s attacking options for the new campaign include Gilardino, Andriy Shevchenko, Christian Vieri and Pippo Inzaghi.
Cassano’s future in the Italian capital is still in doubt even if the new season is just a couple of weeks away.
He has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus given his contract situation but a switch has yet to occur.
Cassano is only contracted to the Giallorossi until June 2006 and talks over an extension have stalled – meaning he could leave for nothing next summer.

You know, considering all the talk about Cassano on the official website, in addition to Berlusconi's comments about a possible purchase, I am starting to believe that Cassano is joining us.
There's no doubt he's an extremely talented player, and maybe playing for Milan would humble him a bit, as he'd finally be in a situation where the club is MUCH bigger than ANY player.
I honestly have some doubts about Pippo. He has been injured for so long that I am wondering if he will ever be back to the level we're used to seeing him at. And in that case, having Cassano at Milan would be great. Also, keep in mind that Cassano is young, and would be useful for us for years to come.

No it has not been said that Maldini will not play as left back this year, at least not that I know of.
Maldini prefers not to play in that left back role because IMO he is older than the rest of the players, and it is alot more exhausting for him to keep running up and down the pitch all the time. I personally think that our defence will mainly be Cafu Nesta Stam and Maldini with Jankulovski coming on alot.
And with Cassano, I think thiis is too good to be true to have Cassano as a 5th striker. Thats a little too greedy.
i never heard anything on this case? ... source?! personally i think stam should be given another chance, maybe hell blend in better this season
I can't recall the resoures as of now. It has to do with Maldini's age which doesn't allow him all the energy for that role. I heard that is one reason to use 3-man-back.
Of course Maldini will play some games as left back if it is necessary. He is always willing to sacrifice for the team. :proud:
But he will not regularly play as a left-back, that's what I believe.
btw i would't set gila in top striker.

We will not get cassano, he will play for roma thi season and next year he will go to juve for free... thats what one of the fiat's managers ( or something...) told somebody and it occured in newspapers. Moggi got angry becouse he doesnt anyone to know his plans for cassano... its pretty clear now.

I share your opinion, at least for now. :) I simply believe that Cassano with us is too good to be true. I don't think his personality would be a problem. We simply transform all the bad boys to be good babies. :D :w221:
We do have chance though. Don't you see that Juventus have TOO many supporting strikers?? Mutu, Del Piero, Miccoli (he is leaving I suppose), Ibra, with Trez as the ONLY exception. Our situation is to the opposite, :flirt: Gilardino, Inzaghi, Vieri.. Only Sheva CAN (he has all-round quality) be in a supporting role. Isn't that interesting? :5drunk:
Anyway, there is no such thing called certainty in football transfer market. Let's just wait and see what kind of surprise Galliani will pull off for us. :p017: :pp20: :u125:

Most people here would rather lose and arm than see Maldini leave, does the fact he represent's your club and has played all his life there not mean you're a bit attached to him. This is what suprises me most about this rumour, surely Juve fans should be putting up some protest.

Del Piero has a lot more to give IMO, he is hardly 'disabled.'
Juve's new number 10 will be Cassano. Thats all to it.
31st of August is really close. We still havent got a backup RB, a central midfielder to cover Pirlo and a 5th forward to back Pippo who is backing up Vieri who is backing up Gilardino and Sheva :D

Well, Jankulovski has said that he is willing to play as an RB, and Vogel can do a good job at covering Pirlo when necessary. If Pippo returns to action and proves to be 100% fit, I don't think we'll have any problems this season.

No Cassano Move For Milan
8/26/2005 6:26:00 AM
Braida definitely put the word end on the Rossoneri’s transfer market.
The General Director of Milan, Ariedo Braida, has restated that the club will not be buying any more players, especially defenders, before the end of the transfer market on the 31st of August.
“We shall not get another defender, we are fine this way. We have a sufficient number of players to face the season. The age discussion means nothing, pitch performance is what matters in football, not the identity card. Maybe Maldini is not physically well, but the other defenders are.”
This also means that Milan will not make a move for Roma’s Antonio Cassano.
“We already have four attackers of first class. We cannot add other players to our squad, which is already complete. We are covered in every role, I don’t see the reason why we should make other purchases.”
Th-th-tha-th-th-thats all folks!
No more transfers for Milan if the above is to be believed...and I dont see why he would make a statement like this if we were still considering buying someone..
So ends the silly season for Milan...:D
So ends the silly season for Milan...:DI do not find it silly... except Ele transfer ;)
Evetually Milan was quite active in summer transfer market, and I hope they made a couple of excellent and some quite good signings :sagrin: :mex:

What I meant rae is that the "silly season" ie the silly season of rumors, and speculation is over now.
Milan did well in the transfer market this term, though IMO we could have further strengthened the defense...but Braida/Carlo decided that we didnt need to, or the right level of talent wasnt available.
Either way, we should have tried harder to reinforce the back line..though that may have been done quietly behind closed doors for next season... :sweeteye:

Silly it was! But I have to say it was abosolutely more boring :tired: than silly. We kept hearing the same old news over and over and over and over and over :tired:
Now with some friggin games people can at leasty talk with variety. I tried to throw in a wrench this summer for argument sake and then with the BIG transfer it lost it's erection. Perhaps some forum viagra will be needed next time. :pp20:

For me, it is more fun than silly. :5drunk: Maybe I am silly? :ilol:
Although I am not sad that the "season" is about to be over in a few more days. ;)
