Summer Mercato 2011

Moussa Sissoko is a name I've heard mentioned in the past. Watched a couple of games of his recently and he does look a great player.

I hope Galliani somehow finds a way to buy Santon...

[xudong]

As long as Inter still owns Santon, we won't get him for sure. Moratti was scarred too badly with Pirlo/Seedorf; even Vieri/Mancini couldn't heal his pain.

Moussa Sissoko is pretty good player, 2 way midfielder, strong, skilled. However he had many ups and downs during the last 2 years. Maybe its just because of injuries that they had and because of his team. Above all, i rate him, quality player.
except being a little inconsistent, Sissoko is typee of player our midfielder lacks.

İniesta maybe a thin player but he is good defensively. he is more 2 way midfielder compared to Hazard. Hazard as winger or trequartista, could be big deal for a team who plays with 4-2-3-1. However his finishing didnt convince me. A.Sanchez has been very good this season, he was very impressive vs us, vs inter e.t.c. Same goes for him, his finishing didnt convince me...(last touches+Finishing)

Santos was doing pretty good 2 years ago and however he didnt step up, inter would rather to loan him after the injuries he had. Criscito costs too much, 18 m euros too much for him. i'd rather to go for Fucile who costs less, can play in both FB.

GKs; Handanovic, Sirugu, Marchetti(i rate frst two highter but Marchetti is free)

Defenders; Fucile, Criscito, Cissokho, Evra, Bastos(we linked with him in january, that was reported Braida asked for him yet rejected.) Coentrao, Mario Fernandes(Gremio CB), Astori, Alex(Chealse), Sakho, Udinese's Zapata, Toby Alderweireld(its reported both us and Barcelona are in race to sign him) Mexes(free agent) Honestly im a little bit pessimistic for him after Galliani's recent comments about him. we didnt sign any of Roma's players in the last years not to kill our good relationship with Roma. we just give, we dont take. we loaned Borriello with option to buy at a low fee.(just 10 m euros which will be paid in 3-4 years) Dede(Brazil CB), Sergio Ramos.

Midfielders; Jucilei, Honda, Ganso, Constant, Sissoko, Lucas Marcelinho.

Strikers; Balotelli (if we sell Pato), Neymar, Falcao (didnt link with us however A player that i like)

What we need;

1-2 way midfielders
2-Quality FB(For left wing)
3-a solid CB
4-a reserve GK.
5-+Alternatives for some departments, considering some players will leave...

For instance Genoa's Konko would be nice alternative for both right wing back and right place in midfield trio. Solid, skilled. Then Kucka, he impressed me during our game with Genoa, 2 way midfielder, can press, who has a good feet, skilled. We should believe in our scouting for alternatives, as we have old and high waged players as alternatives, Oddo, jankulovski e.t.c, They dont give much, they got much from us.

[HO-YOUNG]

BASTOS!!! with a coach who seem adamant that we should use two or three defensive midfielders we can afford to use a player like Bastos as our leftback even if is defendis is suspect at times... but he is one of the most creative goal scoring leftbacks out there... a good replacement for Serginho whom we have not yet replaced!!!

Hello everyone! Im new here. I was reading the forum for a couple of years and now I decided to write something also.

Just wanted to say this... Did anyone seen Barbara Berlusconi siting together with Galliani and his son at the game yesterday? This is the first time... I know she was attending games before, but never with Galliani and never on away game.

Am I right?

Anyway, I think its a good sign

Cheers

Welcome to the forum I did see Barbara Berlusconi yesterday, but I also think it's pretty normal. She's already got a role within the club (I believe some sort of management role), and she looks like she's being groomed to take over ownership in the future.

I really like Douglas Costa from Shakhtar, he scored against Roma last week. In the champions league he has 2 goals and 3 assists in 7 matches. In the league 4 goals in 16 matches.
20 years old, left footed attacking mid, great dribbler and amazing free kick taker look:

however i often dont watch their games, i just saw some games of them, i remember Willian impressed me, jadson is a good deep playmaker, not Milan material.

i know Douglas Costa from his time at Gremio, but do i want him at Milan? i dont know. if he shows this skills vs a strong and solid side, if he tracks back and defend, and be a solid link in team defence, (or atleast a good link) Then i want him. Roma is in a difficult moment at the moment, so his perfonmance vs Roma doesnt mean anything to me.
