View Full Version : Buy more?
Are Milan going to buy any more players before the next season? Do they have the money?
i'd doubt we're going to be involved in any big coups but the last three seasons have have produced last minute signings just before the transfer deadline.
Oddo is a possibility I think.
Oddo is a possibility I think.
It seemed that way didn't it, but I think Juve are in pole position for him now.
If we fail to bring in a Cafu replacement before the start of the new season, we must step up the chase for Cicinho in January :stuckup:

I dont remember any last minute signings?
Last January we didnt get anyone. Last summer we got Stam, Dhorasoo, and Crespo, none of which were last minute signings. The January before that we only got Pozzi. And the summer before we got Kaka, Cafu and Pancaro. I don´t remember before that though.
And yeah i think we´re done..but not for sure, Galliani didnt mention that the window has closed till now
Let's not forget that we reportedly "missed out" on Emre. Is Galliani & co looking for another midfielder?
We certainly don't need one in my opinion.

nesta -2002
Kaka - 2003
Crespo -2004
ok maybe not last minute but they where quite close to the deadline

Im not sure about Nesta..
Kaka´s transfer was in mid-july. Crespo´s transfer was in early August or late July. If thats quite-close, what would you say about the Ibrahimovic and Cannavaro swoops by Juve? or the Cruz-Killy Gonzalez swoop?
nesta was bought on the last day, a few hours before the deadline was over... the others i think came at a normal timing, nothing late at all
now about transfers im hoping for oddo and ballack but the latter would be hard to get i think, oddo would be easy IMO and somehow i think we will get him

I think Nesta's transfer was like a day before the window closed.
i am sure they got the money.
they schould buy 1 midfielder. i think. (schweinsteiger, diego, gerrard(still struggling with liverpool), aimar(didn't played that much last season) or ballack )
and next year they need to buy kompany!!
Milan will sign a midfielder. We "missed out" on Emre so that certainly means we are looking for a player to back Pirlo up.
I hope it'll be Brazillian :D

I thought that player was Vogel?
If we do sign another player, I hope its a defensive mid, or a outright defender...that would round out our team nicely.
Somehow though, I doubt this will happen...Cichino is a possibility, and a player I would love to see in Red and Black...
haha Vogel, srry that i laughed. but he. he will make our bench warm for a player who will be substituted.
Vogel is not good enough srry guys.

At the risk of offending you by having a different opinion...while I didnt think he was GREAT, I certainly dont consider his performance to be SH*T...he wasnt that bad...I mean come on..he was on for Pirlo, a tough act to follow...but he was ok...not great, not sh*t, but ok...a player IMO who can improve, and serve role in the team.

nesta, stam, gattuso, pirlo, seedorf, vieri were all worse IMO... maybe we they should warm our bench too right? :dontcare:

Vogel is 30 or older. he can't improve he is just slowing down.
we schould buy a midfielder who can improve. not too young not too old.
23-26 years old. a player who can substitute seedorf

Regarding the "buy more" title of this thread, on www.calciomercato.com there are reports that Milan is on the lookout for another striker given Inzaghi's persistent injury issues. The names of Corradi (Valencia), Milito (Genoa), Cassano and even Ronaldo are being mentioned. I personally don't see us getting the last two, especially Ronaldo, this season but Corradi and especially Milito, after the demotion of Genoa, would be good and cheap solutions for a 5th striker.

Don't you think Milan should move for someone with different physical attributes to Vieri and Gila; someone like Di Vaio maybe. I think Corradi would be a case of too many cooks...
Next signing will be Christian Chivu from Rome, Milan gives 8 millions euros but expect what's happen with Rome situation about transfers.

On a more serious note, I would love Chivu to come to Milan but I honestly doubt it would happen this summer, if it happens at all, and not for 8 mil euros ...

I would take Di Vaio over Corradi any day but when a fifth striker is considered, probably the most "convincing" part of the whole deal would be his low price ... actually, most probably, we will try to just get him on loan. Di Vaio is doing very well with Valencia and they won't agree to let him go for nothing, as for Corradi, they would probably pay us to take him.
Anyway, apart from Cassano, who would be very expensive to get this year, I think Milito is the best solution for he would be availabe for a very low price given Genoa's recent demotion to Serie C1 and that their appeal was not considered by CONI. Milito is a very good striker and is 23 yo, I think. There have been rumours linking him to Inter and Juve too.
roma agreed to sell chivu for 10 mill this year. we can easily strike a deal with roma plus i think after this season he will b dying to leave

28-07-2005, 09:41
Hmmmm while we are at it, I think we should go for Raul...sike..ok, I do admire Raul a lot, but seriously folks, lets be realistic...we get Vieri on a free...spend megabucks for Gila, and have Pippo and Sheva on the payroll...
I dont see us getting another striker, when our defense is creaking in the knees...at least that is where I would put my million or two euro were I Berlu...but I am not..
So, another round of the silly season begins...
While we are wishing..I wish for Kompany...Raul, and Figo (just to play UCL matches) and I think we will win everything this upcoming season!
zlatanov
28-07-2005, 09:56
It is not just wishing, Warro. The reason for these rumours on calciomercato was the fact that there are a lot of unknowns regarding Inzaghi's condition. Latest news about him is that he would be taking things slowly and will plan patiently his recovery. I don't know about him but I am sure Galliani and Carlo's patience is nearing its end and we are about to start a season aiming to win everything while having 3 healthy strikers and 1, whose recovery period could go on for months and even then there is no guarantee he won't get injured yet again. Plus, of the 3 healthy strikers we have right now, Vieri has also had quite some history with injuries and could be seen as a risky factor, as well.
IMO, with the Inzaghi saga going on and on, a 5th - or should I say a 4th - striker is not a luxury but a must. I would expect Galliani to go for the cheap solution so we won't spend that much on him.

regarding cassano... could some1 please clarify if he can be sold or not??! im not understanding this roma embargo... could they sell their players or are they not allowed to buy and sell?
if cassano could be sold then we should definatly go for him and i think we could strike a deal for a minimum 8M euros!! .. his contract expires next season and theyre forced to sell him, id love to see inzaghi leave and cassano instead

they can sell their players but cannot acquire new ones i.e. if Cassano is to be sold, that team will have to pay Roma the whole amount in cash without any players going to Roma as make-weight - this was exactly Juve's issue for they didn't want to pay 15 mil euros cash.
With his contract expiring soon, I doubt any Italian team, especially Milan, will make a move for him now when they could have him for free just a year from now. Also, I am affraid that Milan will not try to move for Cassano for that way we will interfere with Juve's business and this is something Galliani and Moggi seem to restrain themsleves from doing.
On the other hand, even if we decide to go for Cassano, next year when his contract will expire, the competition for his signature would be very fearce, so we might have better chances now by making a decent offer to Roma, who are anyway facing the possibility of losing Cassano for nothing next summer. The problem, however, is that if they sell Cassano now, because of the "transfer embargo" they will not be able to get a new forward in his place and thus they will have only Totti and Montella plus a couple of unproven primavera players for this coming season - I believe Nonda's transfer was annulled by UEFA and now he is free to look for a new team.
i think a pre contract is what we need... we need to convince the guy that milan is the team he should join like we did with gila
Warro Bantan
28-07-2005, 11:55
So lets get Nonda then...he isnt that bad is he?
Nonda is supposedly moving to a team in Saudi who have offered 3 million Euros for his Services.
thats mohammad kallon ur talking about
nonda might join sevilla
zlatanov
28-07-2005, 12:55
Nonda was declared by Weah to be his heir 5-6 years ago. He (Nonda), however, sustained a very serious injury that kept him out for almost an entire season. This happened 2-3 years ago when he was still with Monaco and he still has not found his old form. No doubt he is a very interesting player but my guess is he might still be having problems with that old injury because Juve were on the verge of signing him for free and he failed the medical tests. After his transfer to Juve failed, Roma signed him and there were even speculations that this was part of a Juve-Cassano deal but then the embargo happened and ...
he also suffered an injury last season or the season before i think... it kept him out til the very last matches
yeah if we look at roma's situation. could b in future what happened to lazio.
we all bought there players.
so if can we can buy cassano and chivu. that would b great

i read something today on calciomercato saying that Milan are worried about Inzaghi's fitness for this season. They mentioned something about Milan being interested in having Corradi on loan from Valencia. I thought Milan wanted 5 strikers after all of the injuries we had last year!
i think atm we need a cover right back, i can kinda see Cafu getting injured in the second match of the season, and us being in trouble because of that.

You know what you are entitled to your own opinion. I have knee-jerk reactions to your post so in a lot of ways we are similar.

5th striker??? i think it would stoopid not to go for a small fast guy because we alreayd have somewhat 4 similar strikers... if cassano isnt available id get saviola
Well guys with Genoa potentially going down to C1... I like the prospects of bringing in Diego Milito in as our 5th striker. What do you guys think??

he would be a very likely choice if we do go for a 5th striker - a good, young player at a low price, I guess.

That's the only thing too. How much would he cost? I darn know well he's beyond C1 talent. Good we agree that maybe somene like Milito is a good prospect as 5th striker. He kind of fits the profile mk18 was talking about earlier. A little bit bigger but not a full on "power" striker like Gila or Vieri.
zlatanov
29-07-2005, 07:44
I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being available for free - in cases like these, usually the whole club falls apart: president, coaches, players they all leave. Once the decision for Genoa's relegation has been confirmed, I would expect Milito to simply annull his contract and become a free agent. But even if Genoa does sell him, it would be for a very low amount 3 mil euros, is my guess.
Getting a player like Milito under these conditions would be some deal, IMO.

Have you not been keeping up??? Genoa is seriously mired in a scandal involving match fixing. The respective panels have ruled them guilty and thus they have been stripped of their first place status from last years Serie B season and placed dead last, thus falling into relegation into Serie C1.

Bologna than stays up???
and which teams not in financial trouble from Serie B moves up??
zlatanov
29-07-2005, 09:51
there are lot's of things yet to be determined - Torino and Messino are not included in any championship right now and I believe they are trying follow in Lazio's steps so that they can get the financial "backbone" and be allowed in Serie A. For now Genoa seems to be the only club whose faith has been more or less determined.
My guess is that Bologna will stay in Serie A, but I don't have a clue which will be the other two clubs in case Messina and Toro don't get permission for A. Perugia, the team Toro beat in the spareggio for Serie A, also has financial issues just like Torino. This leaves Treviso as the next candidate in line. The other team could be one of Ascoli or Brescia but they both have some irregularities regarding their inscription in Serie B so I somehow don't see them in Serie A. All this makes it possible for even the 7th team in Serie B - Verona - to be playing top-flight football this season or maybe even Atalanta will be back in Serie A sooner than they ever expected :d33: (here is the Serie B table from last season: http://www.gazzetta.it/dyn/dyn/gazzetta/scalcio/ricerca_index.jhtml?PageToLoad=/rc/jhtml/RecClassifica.jhtml&SPREFIX=/gazzetta/scalcio/&FONTE_DATI=1&DISCIPLINA=2&COMPETIZIONE=2&EDIZIONE=919&CALENDARIO=14019)
A lot of serie B clubs are having financial problems too and Napoli is now trying to take advantage of the situation and sneak into Serie B through the back door.

Both should be snapped up in the January window.
why iaquinta?!... we dont need him?? hes on form yes, but were covered in attack pretty well
oddo i agree, we should get him... but in summer, we never buy in january (but he wouldnt be cup tied would he?!)

Pozzi just scored for Empoli, so IMO we should better take him back to squad after this season, instead one of our veterans Pippo or Bobo.
By the way, have you seen Terlizzi? He is so solid defender. IMO if Stam would leave next season, he might be a good substitution. He reminds me of Terry a bit - big and agressive, and in defence and in attack. :cool:
