View Full Version : Winter Mercato
I think we need a coach who can get the best out of what he has...a coach that does not need big name player to get the job done...a coach that can take cheah nobodies and turn them into expensive somebodies...Arsenal system seems to work
To an extent but you're forgetting in his 11 years at the club Wenger hasn't won the Champions League and only reached one final. In fact he's the only coach to lose all three European Finals - European Cup, UEFA Cup and CWC.
we are strongly linked with serbian ivanovic ? any info?
Where did you hear this? Seems all the big clubs want him and he's not cup tied.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branislav_Ivanovi%C4%87
Juventus have been linked with Aguero
We should be the ones who are linked with these young players.
Juve can't afford him, we could if we wanted... Inter with their argentinians would be a more likely destination.

Barca Will Sell Ronaldinho: Milan & Chelsea Will Bid - Report
The latest speculation states that Chelsea will go head to head with AC Milan in a race to sign the £70million Brazilian "after Barcelona decided to sell Ronaldinho."
That was the claim in The Sun newspaper this morning.
The newspaper's sports section says it "can reveal the Catalan giants will cash in on the Brazil idol, who was booed by Nou Camp fans last Sunday."
And it claims that Barcelona have lost patience with Ronaldinho following a drop in form and the level of his performances.
The papar also cites last year's well-worn story about the row with fellow-Barca striker Samuel Eto’o and manager Frank Rijkaard.
Barcelona are alleged to be considering moving Ronaldinho on in the winter transfer window.
A 'top Nou Camp source' is quoted as saying: “Ronaldinho’s period at Barcelona is coming to an end. It’s no longer a question of if, but when they sell.”
And The Sun further states that Chelsea agreed terms with Ronaldinho’s brother Roberto Assis in August.
Although Milan are also said to be preparing a £70millon bid to unite Ronaldinho with Brazil team-mates Kaka and Ronaldo, the Rossoneri may struggle to match the £11.6m-a-year salary that Chelsea are offering.
Hot air or a real possibility?

I dont believ that a player like Ronaldinho is going to be sold in the winter mericato, may be in the summer but not now also its crazy to pay this amount for a player who is in his late twenties and has only two year left in his contract!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is rediculous , I am a huge fan of Ronaldinho but not with this amount, we can easily but new 11 player with £70million Ronaldinho doesnot worth more than £30M maximum with his current form.

Milan President Silvio Berlusconi is ready to splash out a monumental £70m on new signings for the club.
The Corriere dello Sport claims that the former Italian Prime Minister has finally accepted that the Rossoneri need to invest in some new blood if they are to continue to compete at the top level.
Berlusconi will make £25m available in January, and the remaining £45m will be spent in the summer.
Top of the shopping list according to the Italian newspaper are Azzurri stars Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluca Zambrotta, Palermo striker Amauri, Valencia midfielder David Albelda and Lyon’s Kim Kallstrom.
Milan have made the worst start to a domestic season since Berlusconi took over the club 21 years and currently sit in 13th place in the table.
A major factor in the European Champions’ poor form has been their transfer campaign in the summer just past.
Only the 31-year-old Emerson and the 34-year-old Ibrahim Ba, two players way past their best, were brought to the club.
Teenage wonderkid Alexandre Pato was also signed from Internacional, although he is ineligible to play until January.

Cannavaro and Zambrotta are cup tied and they are starter in their teams, both of them are excellent players who have not won CL league, so they would not take the risk of missing this season(leave their teams where they can participate in the CL to join a team that is suffering in the domestic league and wont give them the chance to play in the CL).
Amuri is an excellent player who wishs to play in the CL though I doubt he gonna join Milan because if I am not mistaken there is a talking war between Galliani and Palermo's Chairman, so making buisness with them is very unlikely.
As for Albelda, I dont know him as I dont watch La Liga and the same goes for Kallstrom.
So IMO these news are fabrecated and have nothing to do with reality, opinions????????

I have just read on an Arabian website that Barca vice president has denied any claims that Ronaldinho is for sall, he said that Ronaldinho is not for sall nither in jan nor in the summer, and he added that problems happen and there is no way to escape from them, however this doesnot mean that they are going to splet up.
so its clear right now that any descussion about Ronaldinho is a waste of time lets discuss something more realistic and much easier.

I read today that were after Donati, Dessena and Cigarini. Good move if so, i couldnt understand why he got rid of Donati. Seing how he played for Celtic against us. Also seing how bad Emerson has been for us, i really dont know what the management were doing. Anyway Cigarini is perfect pirlo sub, and Dessena is the next De Rossi/ Gattuso.

This team is borderline fantasy, but just to show you guys how we could cut the age of the squad down and keep some of the experience there. I dont want Ronaldinho, or a hyped up player that will cost us a arm and a leg. I would just like squad depth. My concern for next year is also the high wages that we are paying. I think below still lacks some speed, but its not worse than things currently are.** i know the squad is kinda large

If it is true & Milan is looking at Donati when we had him to begin with, tells me that a fair opportunity is not given to all players to play and prove themselves. Which means there are favourites that coach and/or management have who play regardless of their form.
Thus the reason why Gourcuff gets the playing time (or lack of) that he does.
We will wait until he leaves, shines with another team, and then try and re-acquire him for a huge price when he is 27.
We should not sell Yoan at any price, loan out option looks like a normal move to me.
About our possible reinforcements, some people on "milanezi sa balkana" subforum say that Gazzetta and Tuttosport are bringing Berlusconi's words and he says that Milan will make moves in january but we shouldnt rush names now.
We have plent of experience in our team, few young players would do us good and the chemistry within the team would still be high. After Curva send a message to Galliani: " send Ronaldo to see Dr.House!", I really hope he sees that we cant rely on Ronaldo and Pippo any more. Rooie can play 15 games per season, and Pippo only scores in semi finals and finaly of CL :grinser:
Benzema is the best prospect, attacking wise, out there. I've seen few his Lyon games this season, and 2 games for France where he played uipfront with Henry. He is 19 and is playing in a less wide areas than Pato, so they are a perfect combination for our future. I understand he is hard to get, but so is Drogba and he is 30. Benzema will be a hell of a player, like Trez and Henry are now. It would be stunning to see such player joins Milan.
Tuttomercato is suggesting that Galliani has Gallas in mind, which is also a good option as he can play every role in back line. he is 30 dough...
There are a lot of players out there, but I wouldnt like to see Amauri, Albelda, Di Michele and so on...in Milan. Milan is far greater club than those players.
Dessena is one ofthose interesting young italian players, for sure better solution than Emerosn!! Or Brocchi.
2 or 3 right player in winter and we are back, there are many solutions, but money will need to be put on table for this!

I tend to agree with your assessment of Quaresma. Actually, I get the same feeling when I look at Gourcuff, too pretty to get dirty, and always trying to look good with the ball or without, which definatley wouldn't sit well Ancelotti. He looks like a blue collar, get down and dirty kinda guy.
Who knows though we could be totally off on our assessments.

According to Berlusconi, 25m would be spent in january, I'm hoping he can throw forward a bit more for alves AND quaresma :)
just a rumor that's out there..
http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2202920,00.html
Chelsea alone in Ronaldinho race
The chances of Ronaldinho swapping Barcelona for Chelsea have improved after a Milan source said their priority was to sign a striker rather than a playmaker, which they already possess in Kaka. The Italian club were perceived to be Chelsea's primary rivals in the pursuit of the Brazilian, who is becoming marginalised at Camp Nou. However, a source at Milan has confirmed that an attacking midfielder would not be their priority either during the mid-winter transfer window or at the end of the current season.
Instead the source at Milan, who are currently 13th in Serie A after a dismal start to the domestic season, said the club would target a ball-winning centre-forward in the mould of Didier Drogba, after seeing Ronaldo, Filippo Inzaghi and Alberto Gilardino struggle this season.
That would, theoretically, leave Chelsea as the main suitors for Ronaldinho, with their owner, Roman Abramovich, having long targeted the Brazilian as a player who could supply the guile and effervescence he has been seeking at Stamford Bridge. Barca have valued him at £43m but would probably accept a substantial offer.
Abramovich met the player's brother, Roberto Assis in August and Chelsea are one of the few clubs able to match Ronaldinho's and Barça's financial demands. Other senior figures at Stamford Bridge are understood to be doubtful over whether a move for the 27-year-old would be advisable, particularly given the Premiership club's desire to streamline its business.
According to Berlusconi, 25m would be spent in january, I'm hoping he can throw forward a bit more for alves AND quaresma :)
Quaresma & Alves would be alot more than £25 million, not just a bit more :D
Seville turned down a Chelsea bid of £20 - £25 million in the summer and i don't think Porto will let Quaresma go for anything less than £20 million either.
Why? We are Milan, the europeancham,pions and bigger club than Inter, Juve, Barca, united, Liverpoll and so on...
recently, we were turned down by Suazo (for inter), Baptista (fo Real) and i'm sure forgetting someone else...
Ronaldinho is a model in every way. He doest have the looks, but he sure know how to act like one (his "i live for football" moto was changed to "i live for money and ho's" some time ago). Thats why i dont wont him in milan for anything over 30mil.
I also think quaresma would do us good. But we should buy him last year already, now his price is indeed skyhigh.
I have a feeling we might end up with Inter's Adriano in January.
Aguero? No chance. We don't sign midgets in attack. I think I read Costacurta has been pushing for Quaresma so it's a possibility. He is part of the coaching staff so must have some input? Obviously management know the squad needs re-enforcing and the age factor needs addressing so there's no way they would be dumb enough to sign Cannavaro or Zambrotta who are both cup tied and past their best and that's why I think Riquelme (29), Anelka (28) and Ivanovic (23) will arrive in January. If Inter are dumb enough to sell Adriano to us he will fulfil his potential at Milan just like Seedorf and Pirlo.
I have a feeling we might end up with Inter's Adriano in January.
I'd love that to happen. Buy a GK (priority) and Pasqual (not likely) or someone like him, with Adriano (and MilanLab's magic), we'd return to top four in no time.

http://goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=466732 We want to sign someone named Kompany...i'm sorry...but can someone pls tell me who he is...
One of the most promising defenders out there.
Can also be fielded on the midfield.
BUT very very injury prone, has been out an entire season at Hamburg.
Now he's back and he's already one of the best players in the Bundesliga.
But with Van Der Vaart set for Valencia I doubt they'll let go of Kompany and he is a favourite of the public.
Vincent Kompany is a great prospect, he'd be a welcome signing and is arguably as good as Bonera & Kaladze, if not better. Either he or Zapata would be good choices for a young cb.
Adriano? What makes everyone so confident he will automatically return to his best form? He'd be a waste of money.
I don't see Aguero's height being a problem, it didn't stop us signing Papin or Simone. Plus it's not like we'd use him as a lone striker or anything.
If I remember well, we signed a player named PATO?? Didnt we? :9 he is a non en players, and so Milan cant sign any more non eu players this year. Only if Ivanovic, Alex, Riquelme have some kind of EU passport, they cant be signed by Milan in january. Right? Tony? Zlatanov?? Warro?
Quaresma is a player that Rui Costa reccomended to Milan. He is a player that can play any wide attacking position and that is what we could really use. Im not familiar with his form this season, but he looked good last year.

yeah, baby :p017: ..... :grinser:
no, the average age will go down as Canna would be a replacement for Maldini and will take the role of the "master" CB in the team along with Nesta.
Getting Canna doesn't mean we won't go for a young/-er CD or two. With Maldini on his way to retirement and Kaladze possibly on his way out, Milan would need a defender who is familiar with nesta as the CD pair is one department you don't wanna tinker with too much ... Should we lose both Maldini and Kaladze, Canna is one of the few players out there who could come in and start playing without the need to get used to Italy and Milan and that would be a big plus in allowing more time for a smoother integration of a younger player be that Alex, Zapata, Kompany or whoever.
---------------
yes, Marko, you are right - with Pato already here, we cannot sign another non-EU player this year.

Quick someone fake a passport for Aguero :eek:
Sure we'll get caught but he would have scored 10 goals for us by then and while he's serving out his suspension we'll have ronaldo and pato :zany:
I dont see Kaladze leaving Milan. Why should that happen?? Cannavaro should have come to Milan 2 years back, but now its too late. Im sure Galliani will not go for him anymore.
Cannavaro's move would be fine aslong as Real don't ask a king's ransom for him.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if we gave Coco a chance too!

02-11-2007, 11:23
possibilly, isnt he clubless so technically we could play him now in seria A?
Milan fans are a lil touchy about coco, he was supposed to be the next maldini for us, then got all moody when Terim took over and demanded to be transfered. Ok we got Seedorf out of the deal, but i dont know if Belusconi would except him back. Coco is 30 so he is at least 5 years younger than Cafu, Serghino and Favalli.. But he is injured, and the best people for injuries and stuff are the Milan lab (not including the mishap with ronaldo) so you never know. He was pretty good at Crossing if i renember correctly..

Cannavaro is 34 years old. His partnership with Nesta will be the best in the world but it all depends if Canna still has his speed and physique to compete every game. If so, man I would love to have Cannavaro and maybe Zambrotta too. Canna/Nesta is as good as it gets, nothing on the planet beats that.

02-11-2007, 14:03
I dont see Kaladze leaving Milan. Why should that happen?? Cannavaro should have come to Milan 2 years back, but now its too late. Im sure Galliani will not go for him anymore.
Kaladze came as close to leaving Milan for Chelski as it gets 2-3 years ago - about the same time when Sheva left for London.
The only thing that ruined the transfer was that Chelsea and Milan didn't reach an agreement on the transfer money as Kaladze had already agreed terms with them and there were rumours that he had packed his bags already, literary.
Last year, after the final in Athens, he came out and said that if he doesn't get to play more, he'd leave ... and Carlo basically told him to shut up and go if that's what he wants.
The wrinkles were seamingly ironed out but with these two episodes in mind showing some questionable commitment to Milan on Kaladze's part and Milan seeing him as everything but irreplaceable (and injury-free too), and Roman's liking for a stronger pinch of ex-Soviet flavour to his roaster, I would be nothing short of amazed if Kaladze doesn't leave Milan for Chelski in the summer ... with hopefully Alex going the other way. :diablo:
As for Canna, I personally think he has a contract with Real untill summer of 2009 but latest reports suggest that his contarct actually expires in 2008 and he would be able to come for free to Milan - Canna went to Real as part of the Emerson deal, so I wouldn't be suprised if that were the case.
Either way, he won't cost much if anything at all.
To sign Coco will be the ACME. of ridiculous.
Canna/Nesta is as good as it gets, nothing on the planet beats that.

as far as I remember, neither of nesta nor Canna played in that game :)
Yeah it would be a super defence with Cana and Nesta at the back! But I`m not sure if Canavaro can play that brilliant football he used to...
Nesta & Cannavaro would be great, but it's not taking us in the right direction in terms of replacement is it. Replace our youngest starting defender (Kaladze 29) with a 34 year old? I personally think that's the wrong move. Not the replacing of Kaladze, i've never liked him at cb, just the age thing.
Cannavaro as a squad player, yes for sure. But as a starting cb, no thanks.
There are so many World-Class players beign linked with Ac Milan, which according to crap sources, they are so close for moving to our team, and then we end up with Panic buys.
Albelda has recently beign linked with Ac Milan according to some sources, which i think would be absolute bad singing, considering we have a legion of Defensive Midfielders way better than him.
Then it's alo Benzema. A 19 year old forward with a bright future, proven in Europe.
But the hurdle is... the team he plays, Lyon. We all know how they sell they're players, with the most overrated prices i've seen.
So bringing Benzema here would cost no less then 30 Milion euros, what I'm pretty sure that G&B can't afford it.

as far as I remember, neither of nesta nor Canna played in that game :)
Both did. It was Pannuci - Nesta - Canna - Zambrotta. But I meant nothing beats that partnership not literally in a game, i just meant no one can wish for a better pairing :P

yeah, baby :p017: ..... :grinser:
no, the average age will go down as Canna would be a replacement for Maldini and will take the role of the "master" CB in the team along with Nesta.
Getting Canna doesn't mean we won't go for a young/-er CD or two. With Maldini on his way to retirement and Kaladze possibly on his way out, Milan would need a defender who is familiar with nesta as the CD pair is one department you don't wanna tinker with too much ... Should we lose both Maldini and Kaladze, Canna is one of the few players out there who could come in and start playing without the need to get used to Italy and Milan and that would be a big plus in allowing more time for a smoother integration of a younger player be that Alex, Zapata, Kompany or whoever.
---------------
yes, Marko, you are right - with Pato already here, we cannot sign another non-EU player this year.
Pretty much my sentiments to getting Canna. As a replacement for Maldini he'd be probably the best option right now (out of those seemingly available). I'm not so sure it'll be Kaladze to leave next summer though (although a strong possibility), as to me Simic seems more likely to go, so essentially we'd probably end up with another free spot in defence. I honestly cannot see Alex at Milan, but our links to Kompany have caught my eye lately. However, I also wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Marzoratti called back to take the spot or even Darmian being given the chance.
One thing I suspect is that we will be working at building for the future at the back next. In attack for the last few years we've been looking to develop a lot of young talent (Kaka, Gila, Pato, Di Gennaro and Gourcuff), so it seems natural we'll start looking for younger replacements at the back for the older players, with maybe the odd couple of more experienced players coming in to fill in for big players like Maldini.
Both did. It was Pannuci - Nesta - Canna - Zambrotta. But I meant nothing beats that partnership not literally in a game, i just meant no one can wish for a better pairing :P
I think the back line was Pannuci - Iuliano - Maldini - Coco

Kaladze came as close to leaving Milan for Chelski as it gets 2-3 years ago - about the same time when Sheva left for London.
The only thing that ruined the transfer was that Chelsea and Milan didn't reach an agreement on the transfer money as Kaladze had already agreed terms with them and there were rumours that he had packed his bags already, literary.
Last year, after the final in Athens, he came out and said that if he doesn't get to play more, he'd leave ... and Carlo basically told him to shut up and go if that's what he wants.
The wrinkles were seamingly ironed out but with these two episodes in mind showing some questionable commitment to Milan on Kaladze's part and Milan seeing him as everything but irreplaceable (and injury-free too), and Roman's liking for a stronger pinch of ex-Soviet flavour to his roaster, I would be nothing short of amazed if Kaladze doesn't leave Milan for Chelski in the summer ... with hopefully Alex going the other way. :diablo:
As for Canna, I personally think he has a contract with Real untill summer of 2009 but latest reports suggest that his contarct actually expires in 2008 and he would be able to come for free to Milan - Canna went to Real as part of the Emerson deal, so I wouldn't be suprised if that were the case.
Either way, he won't cost much if anything at all.
Ther´s still a hope for the one´s that want Alex in a rossoneri jersey:5ok:
Spunta Ivanovic per il Milan
Il 23enne difensore serbo, inseguito anche da Juve e Inter, è l'alternativa ad Alex per la retroguardia. Ronaldinho, Drogba o Benzema nella lista per l'attacco
http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Squadre/Milan/Primo_Piano/2007/10_Ottobre/30/ivanovic_3010.shtml
Gazzetta Dello Sport said that Milan is still monitoring Alex situation in Chelsea, and that the Tank remains the first option for Milan defence...but they also said that we are folowing Branislav Ivanovic, a CB of Lokomotiv.
Can anyone tell me more about this defender?? I confess that I never saw this guy playing...thanks :5ok:
ForeverMilan
02-11-2007, 19:24
Regarding Cannnavaro,he is too old for us anymore and however Canna and Nesta was never a great partnership.
As for Benzema,Benzema will be one of the best strikers in the world in few years,he has everything to become the best french player,He is quick,fast,skilled,great finisher,dribblings,vision,dynamic and however he is very moveable,im sure Lyon will ask for more than 30m.
As for Albelda,we dont need him,Some guys in DM in italian section who is quite reliabre was talking about Borowsky who is bosman at the end of this season,Milan need a player like Kim Kalstroem,who can play 2 part of the game and have continuity,he is gifted as well.He could leave Lyon since he lost his motivation at there.
As for ivanovic,i just saw him 1 time,he did well,good defender,above all a leader,i read that article about him in gazzetta,almost all of the page about him.it seems Savicevic recommend Milan to sign him.
De Silvestri is free agent as well?i hope we sign him too.with him and Oddo we would not have any trouble on the Right wing.
De Silvestri+Benzema+Kalstroem+Lahm(Pasqual/Zauri e.t.c)+Mexes+Boruc+Drogba
Nesta & Cannavaro would be great, but it's not taking us in the right direction in terms of replacement is it.
You said it all. Just another emergency (not a cheap one) buy as the result of bad 'lowering age in defence' approach. Yeah, with cannavaro we can buy another young prospect Grimi, that we will sell/loan at the end of the season with no matches under his belt. After 2 seasons... zambrotta for oddo?
Kaka--7thUCL
03-11-2007, 12:55
zambrotta for oddo wont happen we need alves
De Silvestri is free agent as well?i hope we sign him too.with him and Oddo we would not have any trouble on the Right wing.
De Silvestri+Benzema+Kalstroem+Lahm(Pasqual/Zauri e.t.c)+Mexes+Boruc+Drogba
Yes De Silvestri is available on a free transfer at the end of the season. Mexes has poor levels on concentration and Roma would demand a huge fee. I'd rather we took a chance on someone else. Bayern will not give up Lahm. Drogba is 29 and Benzema would probably cost the same amount of money plus it would help to have another Frenchman in the squad so I'd rather we went after him but as someone said earlier Lyon don't sell their players cheap.
It doesn't matter who you say, as all know the club will penny pinch, and instead of taking the club forward with a great signing, they'll go for option C, and say how happy they are, that a player of such great experience has joined, and that we are still number one in EUFA rankings.

I wouldn't place too many hopes on Digao right now. Aside from his stature he's not shown much yet. I'm hoping we can make him into a great defender (would be great to see the 2 brothers in the same side), but it seems right now his place in the squad is more for Kaka.
does anybody think Gourcuff will walk at the end of the season if his playing time isnt upped or is he just making noise?
So far he's only said he'll think about it. I don't think he'll leave personally, I'm sure the management will work something out with him, unless they feel he's not needed for the squad.
does anybody think Gourcuff will walk at the end of the season if his playing time isnt upped or is he just making noise?
If he is good and 'has it', then i hope he leaves for his own good. He will rot in milan while carlo is around (situation changes in case of carlo's replacement)
If he 5uck5 then i hope he leaves for milan's sake. What good it is to have the only 'youngster' in a too old team that you dont believe in (pato excluded here)?

Totally agreed. I think he should have played last year after his amazing form. Now he has lost confidence and often looks akward with the ball. I think that once the season is done and if he hasn't started to regain form, he will either be sold or loaned out to never return.

Its actually not a terrible idea, Kenwyne Jones is like a developing Drogba, he's not as good technically as Drogba though which may not be much of an issue for linkers like Sunderland but wouldnt be so great at Milan. He is young though and has plenty of time to develop.

WOW! :eek: 13 Millions...but he's only 23 :dontkn: I think that's a lot for a striker who atm is just promising....I mean as a Trini and all I'm glad because I think he can become even greater than Yorke (Yorke wasn't as fast as he is but Yorke was one of the most clinical strikers I have seen for a long while..he was fitter and more versatile than RVN it's a bunch of off field problems that caused his decline), but ManU bought Yorke (instead of the great Batigol might I add :o ) when he was 28- i.e. a fully seasoned striker who later led them in the scoring charts to the 99 treble :respect:
I don't know if it's just my obvious bias speaking here but I think he would be just what the Dr ordered for us :5ok:

Villa would be nice, but I think AC Milan can't match the offer from Real Madrid, you know, with that taxes and other staff.
plus they have a lot of money from TV rights to spend.
plus Milan won't give huge ammount of money (probably more than 40mil euros) for the player who won't create strong public buzz (like the transfer of Ronaldinho, for example)
with the policy to save money, given the price of the hot prospects,
i am still with the opinion to give chances to young players from Milan's squads.

i agree with dejan.s ... Aubameyang is in our first squad, and we could have used him and had 2 strikers upfront... he is some what of a young prospect.

07-11-2007, 12:28
but dejan i see where you are coming from abt the taxs and money but you also have to look at it through Villa's point of view would he be able to start or be benchwarmer? much like wat happened to julio baptista he never starts for madrid he is rearely used...but if he were to come to milan how much competition wud he have to get in the starting 11? not much....inzaghi is old gila is inconsistent ronaldo is always injured and pato is young...and i think this is one reason tiago didnt come to milan because he knew how strong our midefield is and he wud rarely play (gutaso, pirlo, ambro,) so others factors also have to be inculded not just the money(although it is a huge factor)

But also remmber that he is Spanish and would prefer to stay in his country rather than gambling and going to an entierly different country where he has to adopt to its football and life style plus accepting something alike 25 or 30 % cut of his wage because of the taxes only (in case Milan's offer was equal to Real's one) so even from his point of view he may prefer Real Madrid to Milan.
P.S. I am pretty sure that he believes that he is best goal scorer in spain so he wont worry alot of being a benchwarmer.

Berlusconi has been quoted saying "Adriano wants to leave Inter? Then Milan wants him." and then talked about how an environment is important for a player and Milan has an environment that any club in the world would want. Its on Gazzetta.
IMO taking Adriano this winter would be a very good move by Galliani
Since you don't seem to know it I must add that Valencia would NEVER sell to Real Madrid. Only way RMadrid could get him from Valencia would be to match his buy-out clause and convince him to go to the hated rivals...
It would be fantastic to lure Villa to Milan. Let's hope that Valencia will sell and Villa will agree to come. I think there will be open position for him in the first team.
It would be good to sign Adriano, but given the history of previous signings of Pirlo and Seedorf, probably Inter won't sell him to Milan, and sell him in England, instead.

Ramos Tells Milan: Thanks But No Thanks
Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has thanked Milan for their interest in him but says he is happy at the Santiago Bernabeu and has no intention of leaving.
Ramos, 21, arrived at Real in 2005 from Sevilla for €27m and has since established himself as perhaps the most consistent defender at the capital club.
Newspaper reports in Italy over the past couple of days have suggested that Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti has specifically requested Ramos' services, as he looks to bring in young blood to an ageing defence.
“It is very difficult for me to be to go to Milan because I am happy at Real Madrid,” said Ramos.
“The Rossoneri’s interest does please me as we are talking about a club with a great tradition, however I must say no thanks.”
Ramos has a huge €150m release clause and a contract that runs until 2013. Real are unlikely to consider any offer for the defender unless Milan were to offer Brazilian superstar Kaka as part of the deal.

Back then Juve was relegated and had to sell some of their top players. Adriano is a different case. Right now Inter has too many reliable strikers ahead of him. There's no way Adriano can break into the starting line-up. So if he decides to change clubs I don't see why we shouldn't take him. The atmosphere in Milan will do him good. And besides, when it comes to dumb swap, you can always count on Inter :respect:

to say that huntelaar is way TOO overrated is completely nonesense because he scored 60 goals in two seasons for ajax in all competitions and such a player MUST be good even if his team are the best setting up in the world ( not right ) and if they shoot in empty posts .. i must also say that amelia is a good GK but not good enough and we must bare in mind that dida's replacement must be with huge charisma v.fast reaction and a good starter of counter attacks because that's the way we score
this is a rare case of me using Zlat's logic :D but I can't see what he's done so far, except score a lot in dutch league? Afonso Alves scores as much as him (or more), and I'm not seeing that much hype about him. Scoring in such a "strong" league is one thing, but what did he do in CL? NOt to mention his team failed to qualify to UEFA Cup against...Dinamo Zagreb?
Besides, we have Gila and Pippo, the same type of forward he is. We need someone in Ronaldo/Sheva mold up front, not another target man.

Fabiano is a hungry kid and knows how to create for himself and others.
There are very few goal keepers out there that are considered world class, all of whom are near the end of their career or untouchable in transfer. We need to find a young good quality keeper to mold into milan material. We must also protect him with a strenghtened defence line and cover his mistakes by outscoring the opposition.
Why overrated?
In big games of Ajax in CL quals he didn't make the difference, moreover i think his type is the one of Gila, i would love to see David Villa who is a forward and a goalmachine which is what we need.... :5ok: .
Amelia is a good GK i don't know if is ok for Milan, but in this websight some people use to underestimate players like Drogba, who a lot of people were laughing when we consider to take him when Sheva was sold and now he is one of the best strikers in the world.

Milan is a club that should have to reliable keepers, not 1 really good 1, and one no name, a good move would be maybe to sell or loan out Kalac, and try to squeeze in a good deal for amelia, so you know that if Dida is injured, you have a reliable backup, not that kalac isnt....And you may agree with me that Amelia has his really off days when he can let in 5 goals, and we have seen that at Livorno, and milan cant afford for that to happen.
Amelia is a keeper who wants to hold a position in the Italy squad, which won't happen by sitting on the Milan bench.

Tutti lo vogliono, tutti lo cercano, ma lui, Karim Benzema (20), attaccante francese del Lione, ha dichiarato: "Ho grande rispetto per Barcellona e Real Madrid, ma sogno il Milan".
This needs no translation, his dream is Milan. If now we dont go for this genious and young plyer, we are stupid...

it will never be that much, they asked 60 mln for Diarra and Essian as well, ddint went down that road... you want great players? spend themoney? You dont want them? Try to catch 4th place...

obviously money will have to be spent although the argument "want great players, empty your wallet" is so full of holes that I will need a day to cover them all :).
anyways, spending the right amount of money and allowing someone to practice his colonoscopy skills on you ... with a metal brush :grinser: ... are two different things. The first is how business people run a club, the second - how fans would do it :).
This being said, Benzema's price won't be 60 mil, but Aulas has shown before that he knows how to sell his players when the smart businessmen from Chelski and Real M are involved, so the only question here for me is whether benzema's price will be in the high 30s or low 40s when he gets sold in a couple of years ... provided that he keeps up his performance levels, that is, which for a guy of his age is a "???" thing

Zlat the invisible :grinser: , in that logic we got in the summer and didn't buy anyone, even in FM you should spend a lot of money to get good players,
For Berbatov i think he would be ideal, another one players who is for small teams? come on the same with Drogba we were saying, before United, Tvez where he was playing in Corinthians and West Ham....
I like Benzema, but Ben Arfa is my favourite, remember him

Yip.....Zlat is DEFINITELY GALLIANI :grinser: The simple truth is that right now due to the brilliance of Chelsea and Real Madrid, ALL player prices are highly infalted and the market is superheated generall. This means good players are very expensive and great players are exorbitant. The good news is that the corresponding returns should also follow this path as the sportswear companies continue to get more aggressive in their marketing strategies.
Hence buying players should no longer be seen as a financial liability but as a sensible investment depending on the player. This is not to say that we go spending wildly but if we get world class players as our reinforcements instead of simply "good squad players" it may actually turn out to be more economically feasible. For instance Anelka may play great for us and be a decent goalscorer. He has the pace and all the abilities that we need in a top striker. But to many Anelka is simply a good player and no one would really get that excited over his arrival.
However if we get a young exciting player like Ben Arfa or Aguero (my favourite :sweeteye: ) or Benzema we are sure to get a lot of media attention and shirt sales should go through the roof.
There is no fool proof method to get a player that works well within our footballing and economic constraints...but shame on us for NOT trying though :5ok:

Then,What do you think about jo?i like him and his style,he is skilled,young,he moves a lot on the pitch,very dynamic,good finisher,if we renew Ronaldo's contract this year,with Gila,Pato,pippo and Ronny,we need a player like Jo to complete striker department.

Benzema's finishing reminded me a little of Ronaldo too, though I don't think he's quite got the ability Ronaldo has (very few have though). His strike rate for a 19 yr old is very impressive too, as he started playing for the senior Lyon squad in 2004 when he was only around 16, and yet has managed a scoring rate of almost 1 in 2. However, right now I doubt we'd be willing to pay 20-30 million euros for him.
Haven't seen enough of jo to know if he'll be worth the purchase.
Benzema, Ben Arfa are great players but we must consider that they are part of Lyon.
To me Lyon are a French version of Sevilla - it's too hard for them to let their players go and when they do go they go for crazy prices Diarra, Essien etc. We would have a better chances looking at some of the more weaker teams in France and putting an offer for their youngsters like Serge Gakpe, Samir Nasri, Jimmy Briand, Dimitri Payet etc.

It's not a bad idea but if the players would want to go they will, like Diarra, Abidal, Malouda who would be a good player to have taken. My complain is that we didn't get Snejder, he could replace both Pirlo and Seedorf. Now my dream is Daniel Alves, we have Oddo who is though 34.

Our priority should be a WC LWB like Lahm.
I think Lahm really really is not that fantastic with BM. He has a good world cup (like Grosso) but I won't rate him in any way better than Jankulovski.

Well, pardon my ignorance then. But the way he played against Milan doesn't really impress me. I thought he was a good player honestly; I did remember how he screwed up the first goal against Milan (rushed up and hit the ball too hard on his own player then Nesta disposed the ball, and you know what happened from there on...)

I personally think that for a while Kaka's been angling for an even better contract with Milan (he's already negotiating with the management). I can understand both sides of the argument, but really it's up to the management decide how they want to act. Personally, I hope this next contractual extension will be the last for a while.
However, he may have selfish reasons for saying it, but Kaka's not wrong that stars won't be attracted to Serie A if all this continues. Serie A is already unattractive enough due to the corruption, but with the regular bouts of violence it's making things even harder.

Daniel Alves reminds me abit of Cosmin Contra. Both are highly skilled players, can dribble past opponents and provide accurate crosses. But as defenders their first job is to defend, and frankly speaking IMO they're not really good at defending

I don't think he is bad defender and i believe along with Maicon will fight a lot for the rb line up position in Brazil.
For those saying Amelia can't stand bench and so do other players.... so how Inter has both Zanetti and Maicon, we can have Oddo plus Daniel Alves, for me Oddo hasn't since now played more than 30% of his perfomances having in Lazio.

Today Pirlo said in gazzetta interwiev that He likes Fabregas and Ribery too much.i still ask myself why we didnt sign Ribery last summer.
By the way,According to Gazza,big 3 of italys is after ivanovic,Juve offer 8 m euros in january but both inter and Milan wants the player for next year,L.Moscow wants Milan than inter and juve since Milan had great relationship with L.Moskow president.
Then ever benega,according to gazza again,Milan is after Banega and Milan offered 14 m dollars for Banega,They say also in article his agent is a close friend of Braida,then Also Real is after him.
According to Gazza,The future of Ever Banega
%35 Real Madrid
%30 Milan
%10 juve
%10 Porto
%15 The Others
Daniel Alves is just a awesome player and the world best in his position.

Lets compare Lahm with Marek.
Lahm is more skilled,his tecnique and dribblings are better than Marek's.
Marek is more solid than Lahm.
Marek is stronger than Lahm.
Lahm is better crosser than Marek.
Lahm is using his wing perfect while marek is not.
Lahm is a player with more work rate than Marek.
Lahm is more injury prone than Marek.
which one of whould you take?i'd take Lahm.

19-11-2007, 04:12
i'd take Lahm any day ;) and +, he's younger :D
People, lets relive this thread a bit, come on...!! :grinser: :grinser:
It used to be so much fun in here with all the genial plans we had for super Milan! hehehe...I have a new suggestion:
Why dont we all write what do you think about what do we NEED this wiinter to fill up the gaps in our current team, regarding the problems that are appearing in our play ( too slow, too predictable...)
We dont need a revolution, we just need like 2 right players this winter and we can have a great team with Ronaldo and Pato back after winter ( ronaldo could be fit for real...).
from what I've seen, and Rui Costa also suggested it, Quaresma is a player we can use well. Remember, we cant go on and buy a Brazilian player as we are full with non EU players broath from abroad. Quaresma is a player that can play LW and RW, can play in Kaka's position or even as a central midfielder sometimes. He is a player that would help us to play wider and fasted football at the San Siro, and that is what we are missing. I understand that he could be expancive, but players Riquelme and Diego, who are also really expencive ( well, Riquelme maybe not ) are not the players we can get right now, regarding the rules...
I dont see Zambrotta coming to us anymore, the last chance will be in the summer. But I also dont see Bayern selling Lahm to anyone. We could use a player like Gallas, Zaccardo...to cover for the flanks wherewe lack power right now.
So my "final" suggestion to mr.Galliani is Quaresma and Zaccardo to help us have more complete squad untill the end of the season and real mercato :) Maybe even Oli comes back!

Looks like a bid for Banega was rejected..
http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=485606
First off all i want to say hi to you,then that bid was 14 m dollars not euros,as 1-2 months ago Boca president said that he rejected 10 m euros bid from Milan.after that offer, Milan offered nothing.The money that goal.com talked about is that Boca president declared 1-2 months ago.Boca president today in gazzetta interview of today that he said that he would ask for 20 m euros,then he pointed out that he would have to play and win something with boca as first XL player before he moves to europe.
Secondly,Regarding Quaresma,he would be a good player but he is a winger and however not fitted in our formation,as long as he costs more than 30 m euros which is a crazy money for a player like who would stay on the bench,also considering Milan would have to play with 2 strikers after Pato would be able to play in Milan in january.
Then,Regarding Zaccardo,at most he could be a good reserve for Oddo,nothing more than,also considering Zamparini is a hard man to deal with.Moreover he hates our boy named Galliani,he asks for 10 m euros for Zaccardo at minumum,also considering Zaccardo is very defensive RB,therefore it would be stupid to play with defensive wing backs in 4-3-1-2 formation,in this formation,we would have to play with wing backs like Oddo,De Silvestri.i would take De Silvestri over Zaccardo any day,also consideing he can play at LWB as well.
After all,Lately some players impressed me a lot,Gökhan Gönül,RWB of Fenerbahce,after his impressing perfonmances in CL with his club,he got first cap vs Norway last saturday,he owned both of Riise and Pedersen,quick,skilled,good crosser,with a great work rate,has great stamina.But you know that Turkish players,they lack mentality,they are weak mentally.Then Baris Özbek,who plays in German U21 team,He is a gala player,what makes him so special?He is a complete midfielder,he can play in different roles,RWB,RM,RCM,DM.He can play 2 part of the games,he presses well,skilled,fast,strong.
Finally,regarding january transfer window,i think that we should sign a LWB,since Milan is not attacking from left enough,Marek is not enough for Milan first 11,De Silvestri or Pasqual,Lahm.even Zambrotta despite he passed his best would be an upgrade over Marek.
in january De Silvestri
in summer
one of ivanovic/Mexes/Alex
Pasqual/Lahm/Zambrotta if serginho retires.
Lucho/Kalström/Moutinho to fill the bill that Milan lacks a player who can play 2 part of the game and has great continuity.
Drogba+Jo/Benzema.
a reserve GK like Roma of Monaco.

19-11-2007, 19:55
I like De Silvestri and I have seen him play. He did not play many games for Lazio, and he did have few good games, so he still need to prove him self as he is only 19 years old. :)
I would like to see Pasqual in Milan,I see him as a good backup LB and maybe a starter sometimes later.
With Oddo and Janku our flanks are covered:)
Lahm is more skilled,his tecnique and dribblings are better than Marek's.
Marek is more solid than Lahm.
Marek is stronger than Lahm.
Lahm is better crosser than Marek.
Lahm is using his wing perfect while marek is not.
Lahm is a player with more work rate than Marek.
Lahm is more injury prone than Marek.
which one of whould you take?i'd take Lahm.
Very simple, Marek :5ok:
A German international playing in Italy dosen't make sense
A long term replacement for Marek coud be Mat Taylor of Portsmouth
Last season all of his 10-12 goals were sensational :)

Stadio - Benzema: offensiva del Milan
20.11.2007 08.52 di Marco Gori articolo letto 1438 volte
Pare che al momento l'unico effettivo del reparto offensivo del Milan sicuro di avere un futuro in rossonero sia Filippo Inzaghi. Il club di Via Turati, per ringiovanire e rinforzare il proprio attacco, starebbe pensando all'astro nascente del calcio francese, Karim Benzema. Il giocatore pare attualmente destinato a restare a Lione e su di lui c'è già mezza Europa, ma i rossoneri potrebbero avere argomenti, sia economici che non, in grado di convincere sia il giocatore che il club transalpino. Soprattutto in caso di partenza di Ronaldo, il Milan avrebbe già pronta un'offerta di quelle cui è difficile rinunciare.
According to Gazzetta of today,The Future of Benzema.
%30 Milan
%30 Real Madrid
%20 Arsenal
%20 Juventus.
Valued at 30 m euros according to Gazza.
The Future of ivanovic,valued at 15 m euros
%30 juventus
%25 Milan
%25 inter
%20 Chealse.
Gazzetta says if Ronaldo doesnt give any problem to Milan in the rest of the season,Milan could renew his contract,unless Milan is ready to make a super offer for Benzema to Lyon as Benzema-Pato would represent the future of Milan in attack.

I have to agree about what someone wrote about Zaccardo, when I think about it, he is too defencive, but could still use as a sub.
I would be thrilled to see Benzema-Pato next year, imagine that! With Pippo and Gila sitting on the bench, Gila especially :)
Whatever happens, we will need 3 or 4 super players in the summer, but in the winter we could still use one or two...

Milan Interested In Podolski
His impressive performance in Germany’s 4-0 win over Cyprus on Saturday showed that the real Lukas Podolski is back. That performance has reportedly aroused the interest of AC Milan.
The Champions League holders have allegedly been alerted to the Bayern striker after his recent top form. The ‘Corriere dello Sport’ has reported than the Milan giants are lining up a potential move for the youngster.
Fiorentina are also reported to be monitoring the situation with regards the former Cologne striker.
Podolski is currently sitting in the shadows of both Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni who lead the Bundesliga scoring charts with nine and eight goals respectively. Poldi currently has a single Bundesliga goal to his name.
However it seems likely that nothing will happen before the summer.
Werder Bremen will also be monitoring the situation, as Klaus Allofs recently revealed Bremen’s interest was ongoing.

Inter have built a really good squad in the past 2 - 3 years despite in the past giving us the players mentioned above.
Milan is my team, but IMO Inter will get over the Champions League hump sooner or later if they continue to improve their team the way that have been in recent years.
They seem to spare no expense to get the results they want. If they fail they tinker with it a little more and try to fix it. Diarra would really be a solid rock in the mid-field for them.
I guess I admire that their at the top of the Serie "A" and still are looking for/finding ways to become even better.
Sabatino Durante, italian football agent has had an interwiew in italian media in which he talked aqbout Luka Modrič. He said that paople are constantly talking about Lampard but that Lampard cant be compared to Modrić as Luka is right now one of the brighest young midfielders in the world with his running rate, passing and vision. Even his defending is very good.
What is interesting is that he says he's surprised that Milan hasnt tried for him as croatian market is opened up for rossoneri becouse of a firm connection between the clubs. He said that Pirlo-Gattuso and Modrić would be devestating and that it would be great to see Modric in Milan. If he had a choice, he'd do it tommorow.
Interesting news.

with all our problems i think we should be the one looking to strengthen our squad... I makes me wonder if there is a change in who is who of the city Milan.

Modric is a fantastic talent, I do love his style of play. The problem right now is we have a lot of hope for quite a few technically gifted young midfielders and so I'm not sure how closely the management are watching him. Still I wouldn't be shocked to see us after him.
I saw Modric playing in the 3rd qualifying round against Werder
He is a good player
He doesn't have an EU passport so Milan can only buy him in the next summer
I don't know how much Dinamo wants for him but if he is too expensive
(15/20 mil euros) it's hard to believe that Milan will buy him
He still has to prove his talent in a much competitive championship

Berlusconi again talking about Adriano and how Milan would be the perfect environment for him (I agree). I also have a gut feeling he wants to join us but is trying to terminate his contract with Inter, but Inter are worried he'll join us. Berlusconi also mentioned that he would go into the market after the club world cup championships.
If Adriano is available I would certainly think why not, I dont wanna go through another moment where Ronaldo would be injured again. Ballack will also not be cup-tied and could be available for all our midfield roles and is a star (shirt sales) and has experience (CL) and is +30 (Milan fetish). Seeing stars like Benzema and Modric talk about Milan is interesting, but just to a certain point because we already know that we ain't goin to invest in these pearls.

I'm not sure Berlu is particularly going after Adriano. He's said the Milan environment would be perfect for him, but also said Milan is the kind of place Adriano should aspire to (great little insult to Inter :D )
Isn't Modric to Chelsea done deal? I'm sure I heard him say something like that a few days ago on Nova TV.
i jebiga, nije los, al mi nije nesto za milana. svi hvale svoje :P
Berlu is BS-ing :D I'm amazed you guys don't see it.....he is playing mind games with spincter
Isn't Modric to Chelsea done deal? I'm sure I heard him say something like that a few days ago on Nova TV.
i jebiga, nije los, al mi nije nesto za milana. svi hvale svoje :P
Its not a done deal yet but I can guarantee you that Modric will be very expensive.
I know modric is a different player to eduardo as they play in different positions but he's one Croatian Milan should of gone for, Eduardo has skill pace and a killer left foot. Modric and Eduardo are immense together and no doubt were the reason England lost on Wednesday.

Pirlo Linked With Juve And Bayern - Report
AC Milan may face a struggle to hold on to their midfield maestro next summer, as both Juventus and Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing to launch an Andrea Pirlo offensive.
zoom - galleria The European champions have been increasingly linked with Real Madrid midfielder Fernando Gago, which has prompted many to speculate that they are already thinking of successors for Pirlo, even though the 28-year-old Italian international has been oft declared as ‘untouchable’ by the Milan brass.
Juventus have never been shy to admit their admiration in Pirlo and are thought to be readying a concrete offer, to be submitted as soon as the final ball is kicked this season.
There are also rumours emanating from Turin, that Bayern Munich are planning to budge in line, however, should a window of opportunity creak open even just a sliver.
Pirlo is a close personal friend of Bayern goal-machine Luca Toni and the powers that be at the Allianz Arena will be hoping that this factor, plus the growing discontent amongst Serie A players as a result of the violence epidemic in Calcio will convince another Azzurri gem to opt for a German adventure.
Should any team be successful in prising Pirlo away from Milan, it will almost certainly take an amount in excess of 25m Euro as the former Brescia man counts as one of the best midfielders on the planet

Players i want to see in Milan since new year, Daniel Alves, Joa Moutihno, Villa.
A great replacement for pippo inzaghi for the next season would be Dimitar Berbatov

28-11-2007, 05:08
The players that i wanna see at Milan are Zambrotta,ivanovic,Karim Benzema and Kim Kalstroem.in addition we should monitor Jo of CSKA and De Silvestri of Lazio.
============Dida==================
=Oddo===Nesta=====ivanovic===Zambrotta
======Gattuso====Pirlo====Kalstroem===
=============Kaka================
=====Pato==========Benzema=========
With your name and all, I can't understand you liking Källström ;) But personally I don't think he is good enough and that there are many better options than him for that position. While he is strong like Ambrosini, he ain't as good in the air and he is painfully slow. Mostly he rely on his strong left foot.
The trouble with the current squad is that there is a lot of quality, but the players are all of similar age, Seedorf, Gattuso, Ambro, Nesta, Oddo, Janku, Ronaldo, Emerson, Simic will all retire at around the same time, so they'll all need replacing at once. It would be better to do it gradually, but there isn't much space in the squad because of all the above players, Gourcuff can't get a game. Another problem is cost, none of 29-32 year-olds will be sold so it requires buying 5 or 6 world-class players at around the same time which will be extremely hard.
I hope that there is a future for Marzoratti at Milan and also that Grimi can cover Janku next season, which covers a couple of positions. I'd love to see a young CB come in in the summer and for Simic to be sold. I'd also love to see Banega come in, even though in theory we have a lot of midfielders, right now we are short with Amro and Emerson out.
Inzaghi still has a couple of years on his very expensive contract so he makes it hard to buy another young striker. We also have to wait and see if Oliviera will play at Milan next season. If he does and Ronaldo renews, there will be 5 strikers and there is no space for a new young forward.
What I'd really like to see though is players who can play wide as well as centrally to give us some tactial options. We have no wingers atm, so Carlo plays the same way every game and everyone in Italy knows how to play against it now. Quaresma and Benzema would be great for this, but if we move to playing with wingers, we have way too many central midfielders.
There are a lot of problems in the current squad and it's quite worrying. The immediate future does not look bright.

We are the salvation army of the transfer market... It seems as if we are the poorest club on earth or a club that cannot attract players of any sort. It makes no sense to be rich and not annual winners... everyone cant win but we should atleast look like we can compete. The Milage on the squad is over the limit... they have no resale value and too much pit stops needed to complete the race...
I suggest we go and take Diego from werder, Luisao from benfica, Fabiano, Quaresma, and some young italian defenders. ... About 100 mil can give us a good squad for 5 years.

with Ronaldos injuries, i cant see us extending his contract. It would be crazy doing so. I think this winter we need a serious analysis and for the management point out the players they need. The better situation we are now, hopefully we will not have another horrible summer.

Exactly , would like to propose a player Torosidis, he playys for the team who bet Lazio, he plays as a RB, CB, MF, he scores in free kicks with headers or other ways, he is in the first line up in the men Greek national team, he is strong quick and in the national team plays as a LB! and he is only 22, Juventus keeps an eye on him the last 2 to 3 months. I don't think he will cost more that 2 million euros..

Amauri isn't bad. He's not particularly special but he offers something we're lacking and that's a decent target man to hit high balls/crosses to and is reliable.

The team i created in FM the period 2007-2008:
GK: Occhoa, other (reserve)
CD: Maldini, Nesta, Bonera, Digao
RB: Oddo, Torosidis, a young Brazilian i have given on loan
LB: Kaladze, Fabio Santos from Brazil not of Lyon
MR: Kaka, Riise (a young) one, Afellay
ML: Seedorf, Jankulovski, Ivanildo (a 21 old Brazilian winger)
MF: Gattuso, Pirlo, Gorky (given a lot of time replacing Pirlo), Rafa a mf, Song (African MD 22 years old), Ambrosini, i just sold Emerson
FW: Pato (i wish to be at least 40% of FM in real), Gila, Gomez, Sambangu (African high 23 years old), Iouliano an a tall Italian from academy.
There are not a lot of changes but the youngs replace some of the usually starting and they play well, even in FM i can't buy Daniel Alves (the Gavourite of Fans is Oddo) :(.
How would you keep everyone happy? You have pretty much two starting 11's there.

im thinkin of him returning in the sence that if Pato flops we could have a player that can settle into the squad quickly.
Very good :tired: , i don't speak about Riise of Liverpool but for a young Norwegian RM :5milan: .
sorry, never heard of him :D
wow 700 hundred pages.
IMO:-
Trade SIMIC For IVANOVIC.
Sell RONALDO99 and buy/loan SHEVA.
Bring Back GRIMI.
buy QUARESMA....... about time we buy him, i mean seriously.
The GKs can wait, DIDA is doing fine.
So the squad will be..
GKs: Dida, Kalac, Fiori.
DFs: Maldini, Nesta, Kaldaze, Oddo, Ivanovic, Janku, Seginho, Grimi, Digao, Favali, Bonera, Cafu.
MFs: Ambro, Gattuso, Pirlo, Brochi, Kaka, Seedorf, Groucuff, Quaresma(cup Tied)
FWs: Gilardino, Inzaghi, Pato, Sheva(Cup Tied)
Seria A Formation:-
GK: Dida
CB: Nesta
CB: Kaldze
RB: Ivanovic
LB: Grimi
DM: Pirlo
RM: Gattuso
LM: Quaresma
AM: Kaka
CF: Gila
CF: Sheva/Pato
UCL Formation
GK: Dida
CB: Nesta
CB: Kaldze
RB: Oddo/Ivanovic
LB: Grimi/Maldini/Janku
DM: Pirlo
DM: Gattuso
DM: Ambro
LM: Seedorf
RM: Kaka
CF: Gila/Pato
if this can happen, our team will be the 2nd in the ranking, and easily the final four in the ucl. thank you
PS: but with our current team, a really hard 4th spot, and a knock out from the 8 team round if not the 16. even though were good in the ucl the other teams are better.

yeah Amauri to me is a poor mans Drogba, we havent really had a target man as such at Milan since the days of Bierhoff. So having a player of that type would be different. Not saying Crespo isnt a target man, but i think Toni, Drogba, Amauri are all sort of in the same mould.
I was talking to my Napoli friend the other day, he couldnt believe Milan let Foggia and Massimo Donati go. Too be honest i have to agree with him, Foggia was all over us when we played Cagliari. And Donati has been playing really well for Celtic recently.
can someone tell me please why did carlo say on the official website that we will have pato available for our next home game?
"Perhaps the fact we didn't have all our strikers available perhaps penalised us, especially in front of the San Siro crowd. In our next home game we will have Pato available and by that time we'll hopefully have one more Cup in our collection."
When are we coming back from japan?
Graeme C
02-12-2007, 07:16
we are going to be 3 games behind when we return after xmas. I think it would be wise buying another striker on top of Pato this winter. If the rumours are true, Milan dont want to extend Ronaldos contract so we could end up selling him to La Galaxy or something just so he doesnt leave us to return to Inter or something stupid like that.
