Summer mercato 2012

[ZvonimirBoban]

Maxi Lopez was reported to feel rejected by us and he said he doesn't mind joining Juve; clearly his image is going down in my eyes...

I won't blame him at all if that happens. For a player that only stayed half a season, he has shown enough loyalty to us, and I honestly don't think that we can ask more of him.

I said going down... because I was thinking highly of him; waiting for us to get Tevez or not while publicly saying he'd wait for us, not mind being second choice, full of positive words, not complain being benched, etc.... Now he's just a normal player in my eyes.

... which is exactly why I would not be too harsh on him. He has done so much for Milan without getting much in return. If he actually joins Juventus, he would be a big help for them. Of course I wouldn't enjoy that but as long as he does not spill nasty comments on Milan like Pirlo did, I will be ok with that.

It seems like Silva will be staying at the end. Will Milan spend money to sign quality players? Will other players ask to leave? Will there be offers for players? Will Galli leave?

No. Probably no. Probably yes. NO, FORGET ABOUT IT.

“Berlusconi intends to resist the PSG offers for Thiago Silva,” Galliani told Sky Sport Italia late on Wednesday night.

The statement comes after players such as Antonio Cassano, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Stephan El Shaarawy publicly urged the club to keep hold of the Brazilian defender.

Even Milan Channel, the official Rossoneri television station, ran items begging Berlusconi not to sell Thiago Silva.

Berlu is a bastard through and through, he does all this crap thinking it will make himself seem important. Power is what he wants. Hope Barbara takes over and throws him out of the house. He's a cancer, eating away at the Milan Fanbase.

As long as Silva is happy staying at Milan I'm happy to see him staying. If he stays it will be interesting to see what we do to please players like him and Ibra in terms of other transfers. The mercato shouldn't be over just by keeping Silva...

If somebody has trouble understanding the DEJA VU concept, he need to analyse or last 4 mercatos. Give it up already Silvio. You are not gonna fool us for the 5th time.

But this Silva saga is very different from Sheva and Kaka.

He basically said Sheva might be leaving from the start. As for Kaka, he said he needs to balance its book from the start.

[Gio-mania]

^^ Book balancing is implied as of late.

Only after Silva for 30m+Tiago to Barca and 50Mil to PSG. But with Kaka, it was pretty much around March or April due to missing CL.
