Summer Mercato 2011

[russo-neri]

The most realistic scenario is probably a smaller player now (Montolivo) and Ganso in January.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner

[Dinar]

Strasser has been loaned out to Lecce with no option to either co-own or to buy him. He has also extended his contract till 2015.

With Vives of to Torino, Strasser should get good opportunities and either way he's good to start for them. All the best to him and may he return as better player than he's now.

[Siregar]

Strasser goes officially to Lecce on loan (it seems pure loan, not co-ownership). Baretta to Ascoli, De Vito to small club I forget their name (Serie C1 club IIRC, the previous club of Romagnoli, our former Primavera's captain), Albertazzi to Spain (I forget again the name of the club, most important thing they are in Primera Division).

I hope Strasser does get tons of games there. If he does get many chances there (as starter), he could succeed Ambro or Gattuso as vice DM.

Its great if it is not co-ownership and no option to buy him. He should be more prepared to compete in small team than any other of our Primavera player.

In addition, Verdi, Coppola and Odumadi go to Torino with Gionmario Comi (19 yo) goes to Milan. Verdi and Comi in co-ownership while Coppola and Odu pure loan with option to buy for Odu (source: http://www.rossoneriblog.com/2011/07/01/...n-players/)

De Vito has been loaned out to Serie B side, Cittadella so that's better than Lega Pro football. Albertazzi to Getafe, checked their line up for 1st friendly and he dint feature. Romagnoli has re-united with Zeman at Pescara so another 'Zemanlandia' season for him.

And yes, with Ambro's, van Bommel's & Rino's contract expiring next season Strasser could replace one of them and extending his contract only means that Max has got faith in his abilities.

Besides those 3 at Torino, we've also loaned Matteo Darmian (RB) to them.. co-owned with Palermo of course.

Thanks Dinar. I was confused the club since I thought he went to Foggia (it was only a possibility but not yet official). It is then better for De Vito. Darmian was our CB but it seems in Palermo he played as RB, right? Did he also play as RB in Padova (before to Palermo)?

Yeah, he played as RB at Palermo. No idea at which position for Padova though, but that's where he has scored his only professional goal so far.. more of a fluke.

This is bad news.

[Jay Crisp]

Shegs where have you been man...Thats crap no doubt about it but shizzle happens.

[mrki]

Galliani clearly said that - and not only Galliani but many people in italian calcio world - the big player could arrive in late august. Its not by coincidence. Mercato is always most active in august coz once the bigger transfers get started the money gets to circulate etc.

Some reports say Galliani may sell Emanuelson, Flamini and Cassano to finance Fabregas. Of course, if the Barca deal fails... But Im sure Milan is not only waiting for Fabregas to have mercy on us, they are working on other players as well.

Galliani, Raiola and Silvio are quiet, as Fininvest had great loses and that is something that for sure IS important. Its stupid that we talk about those things as there is not way to know for sure what is going on with the money that is paying for Milan's mercato etc.

If Milan is ready to take Montolive now and Ganso in january + a player that should be mr.X, I'd call this a wonderfull mercato.

Ganso hasnt impressed, but to see a man injured for a long time and in such a chaotic Brasil team, aguess he did ok. Injury free football untill january would be great for him.

Im cheering for Fabregas of course, but I have little faits now as Pep confirmed they are in talks so...it will be done eventually.

My 2nd choice is - Pastore. Which means Boa will play CM, which I want, aldough Boa doesnt want it

So if Mexes, Taiwo, Shaarawy, Montolivo and Pastore ( for example ) come to Milan this summer, we can just say: forza ragazzi, grazie Galliani and Silvio!

P.S.

I have high expectations and good feeling on Shaarawy, and Im hoping to see a new Azzuri star playing for Milan. My bet is on this man.

[WCmilan]

I want schweinsteiger over pastore and fabregas, next in line fabregas and my 3rd choice would be pastore.. but there all amazing id be so happy with any which one. BTW according to milannews, i got my wish Milans in talks with genoa to go 50-50 on Lucas, #18 of brazil that i posted on the last page saying id love to have him.. Great business imo.. Lucas montolivo pastore, forget about ganso lucas will probably be better, more pace as well crucial to the position they play however ganso for some reason his play suits him well with out speed
