NEYYYYYMARRRRRR

--------------------Ibra--------Pato--------------------------
-----Robinho---------Cassano-----------Neymar-------
---------------V Bommel----Ambrosini--------------------

I`m sorry mate but that is such unbalanced line up and a disaster waiting to happen.Actually Brazil tried that in COPA and we all know how that turned out. I think the only coach that can pull this is Mourinho(Inter 4-2-1-3) but thats a 4-2-1-3 only in paper. on the pitch it was more like 4-4-1-1,thats why he succeeded.

It was a complete joke. That's why I had devil's laughing. Who would play with 5 strikers? Probably because I never joke on here people thought I was serious....

I don't think we're getting Neymar, I'm making fun of Galliani for acting like we're getting Neymar now, saying we have a spot open for a NON-EU but not ganso.... What kind of idiot does he think everyone is? There are no other NON-EU's who are good enough besides those two, as Danilo is already gone to Porto.

Pay attention to the laughing devils!

IMO, the Porto/Danilo deal has paved the way for us to sign Ganso this summer with him coming in January. Monto is coming too, unless fiorentina get greedy. If they do, then just Ganso. That's our mercato.

I've now been convinced that Pastore would have been the better pick for us, but getting him seems impossible. Zamparini publicly asked for 50 and Milan must know he's not worth more than 25 - there's no way Zamp's ego would let him cave that much. Our perfect REALISTIC mercato this summer would have been Pastore & Asamoah. But hopefully Ganso/Monto will work nicely (and 50% of Lucas would be the cherry on top...)

- Montolivo is a bargain, so the chance is high. Some people say Milan will wait until the last minute to get him, that could save about 2M (and some wage money).

- We bought Krisztian Tamas, a Hungarian, born in 1995, plays LB. Arsenal and Tottenham want him.

- Djokovic visited Milan at Milanello. He and Urby: http://yfrog.com/z/kjgkkeqj

- Adiyiah will go to Karsiyaka (Turkish 2nd division) on loan.

- We have the best average attendance in Italy: 53,528.

- Ganso: “I am ready to wait for Milan”

- Allegri: “A big name will replace Pirlo”

There are very strong rumors in Italy that Mr X is Fabregas, and Pastore as a second option.

Ganso I don't think he will come this year. There is also a rumor that Santos may swap Ganso with Robinho next winter.

Is this Zlatanov who used to discuss with Tony29 in old MM forum some years ago? Or are they different people?

Sorry for the out of topic.

Definitely looks like the same Zlatanov, who was definitely one of my favourite posters here in the past. His post is well thought out and written a lot like the Zlatanov here would have done, so I think you're on the right mark.

I've never seen this forum before, is it new?

Yeah, he is also one of my favorite poster, was enjoying reading his thought.

I don't think it is new forum if you mean R&B forum, I registered in 2005 there IIRC but only 'managed' to write a single post. Much better here to discuss about Milan and stuffs but about Milan news (mercato, youth, etc) many information are posted there. I almost never read any football website anymore.

i dont think that Montolivo is a bargain. if we needed him, he would be bargain. But we dont need him. We need a mezz'ala, another Seedorf kind of player. However Montolivo is not. Montolivo cant replace Van Bommel, as he doesnt have his defensive skills, Sandro kind of players can replace him. We already have Gattuso, Flamini for RCM spot. This is why Montolvio just could be called as waste of money.

im now very confused about mercato. Who'll sign? Bayern wont sell Bastian to us, Fabregas is Barcelona bound, Hamsik stayed at Napoli. i dont remember any other world class players that we can sign...

maybe our MGT is thinking about make a great signing for trequartista, as they have shown this with Ganso. Keita from Barcelona or Asamoah for LCM, maybe Pastore for trequartista...

if we sign Pastore, we'll have El Shaarwy, Pastore, Robinho, Boateng for trequartista spot. These guys wont get much playing time, Robinho plays as SS or trequartista, he found playing times like this, Boateng for now he is no 1 trequartista.

This makes everything confused.

[Aficio]

Actually, I like Keita more than Montolivo. If Barca get Fabregas, we can have him. Thank for reminding him, Abbey Lee

I don't think we will sign an ACM this summer, while I must admit Schweini's case is getting harder. Bayern had some good buy. Neuer can bring the leadership they need, and with Rafael & Boateng as RB, Lahm will return to LB, where he can use his speed to cut in and score. Bayern's left will be amazing with Ribery and Lahm.

Oh, I didn't realise it was R&B forum. Someone should get him to return here

[Maltese Charlie]

It is official!!!

Fiorentina signed LAZZARI.

If I were running the show (and let's be honest, that's probably a good thing)I would put Boateng at RCM and get a true trequartista lilke Pastore. The problem is that we still have Seedorf and Gattuso. Without them, we could have had a squad of 8 midfielders, 2 deep at each spot.

ACM - Pastore
ACM2 - Sharaawy/Boateng
LCM - new signing (Asamoah)
LCM - Urby
RCM - Boateng
RCM2 - Flamini
DCM - Van Bommel
DCM - Ambro

With the Gattuso and Seedorf extentions, you are right we have a logjam at 2 positions.

So here's an idea. It was painful to see a player of Pirlo's caliber leave FOR FREE! Let me know if I'm wrong, but isn't Flamini in the last year of his contract? If that is the case, we should try to sell so we can at least get something for him. That would not only give us more mercato money, but we can officially slide Boateng to RCM freeing up a spot for a WC Treq.

ACM - Pastore
ACM2 - Seedorf/Sharaawy
LCM - new signing (Asamoah)
LCM2 - Urby
RCM - Boateng
RCM2 - Gattuso
DCM - Van Bommel
DCM2 - Ambro

Not sure how Monto would fit in. Don't think he's the "hard-working" side midfielder that allegri is looking for.
