Summer Mercato 2011
Why is that weird Geo? That's exactly what he's been doing throughout his career. For every Maldini there are a thousand Vieris, you know.

What is weird isn't to do it as everybody does it and Ibra himself has done it during his entire career, what is weird is to say it ...

And that's also a weird statement as that means that even if the guy feels good in a club, he will leave ...

Anyway, I think Ibra will stay for some years, the fact he left Italy and came back (in the same city) one year later is maybe a sign that the guy feels good in Italy and Milan, so if everything goes well with us, I don't see him being sold to any of our rivals, nor going back to Barcelona, which leaves him with England (I don't think any of the top clubs need him right now) or Real Madrid (as long as the coach is Mourinho, I don't think they will try to get him, he let him leave when he was in Inter).

Actually, the only club able to come to buy him would be Manchester City, as we're/we've been interested by some of their strikers (Balotelli, Dzeko) and they are totally mad when it comes to the purchases of strikers.
One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !

when did he say that? does that mean that we are still in the race? I thought after Ganso publicly expressed his man-love to Leonardo, the hope is all gone already. Grinser044DevilsmokeConfusedAllesmoegliche036Inter5ow1ban

Galliani said that in January if I remember correctly. Santos said that Milan are in ahead of Inter for his signature, meanwhile the company which owns 45% of Ganso's contract (or something like that) said that he'll play for us next season. All of these are from Milannews.it.

I don't agree about Real not really wanting him, as I bet Mourinho would dream of Ibra in attack, he's exactly what they need. I don't think Mourinho (who has a good relationship with Ibra) wanted to sell him, but Barca offered Moratti a deal too good to refuse.

Thing is, Barca won't sell a player like Ibra to Real.
Ibra's a strange character that way. Playing for Juventus, Inter, and Milan.. it's a bit weird. I'm sure he'd go to Real Madrid too. Then maybe Man United then Man City, then Liverpool.

I love his game, and hope he stays.

In regards to the transfer window, nothing is solved in regards to Ganso. We need him or a player like him, as well as a WC Left Back, and perhaps another CB to replace the aging Nesta. Hopefully we can do this all in the summer...

Anyway, todays players' words shouldn't be taken seriously IMO, let alone their agents.

Oh Galliani said he'd welcome Kaka back if the latter is willing to take a huge pay cut since we can only afford one player of such salary and that's Ibra. Hmm based on our experiences in the past, I really doubt Leite, Sr will think of the idea favorably Devilf

I like Galliani for making that clear. Okmilan

I was hoping that Galliani said that more recentlly. A lot has changed since January. Blush

Maybe Ibra learned that from his idol who had played for Inter and Milan, Real and Barca. Devilol Grinundwech
Ibra can leave after next year if he really wants too because imo we just really need him right now in this rebuilding phase as the that big commanding figure in our attack, after we've rebuilt furhter he wont be missed to much and will be easier to replace due to only having to concentrate on that one replacement instead of our need for a fullback, a cb and a midfielder&cam..

There are rumours that Balotelli in Milan is already a done deal, the only thing to clear is the price depending on Cassano going to Man City or not ...

IMO, it wouldn't be a very good move, not right now, as Balotelli needs to grow up mentally, he hasn't showed anything great since the beginning of his career (just some good things here and there), and he has often been injured lately ... So this deal could be a good one in one or two years, but not right now, I think Cassano has more to offer than this mad young boy !! Without mentionning that his head is a melon, he thinks he is the best player on Earth.

So stop laughing at Juventus !
I don't believe it one bit. I can't see Cassano going to England at all... First of all, we just bought him, he just signed a contract, to think that Galliani has traded him for Balotelli a month or so after we have basicly gotten him for free seems silly to me. Secondly, could anyone really see Cassano going to England? This is a guy who considered moving to Sampdoria from Genoa because he liked the city so much, and wanted to go to Milan, partly because it's close to Genoa... Also could anyone see Cassano sitting down learning English? Haha, can't imagine it, he has problems communicating with the other players in Italian already.
