Summer mercato 2012

[ZvonimirBoban]

I don't know why everyone is speaking so highly of Constant. He was AWFUL last year on a very bad team that almost got relegated. He will not start for Milan, mark my words. If he does, we're screwed.

Then so is Acerbi? This is worrying...

By the way, in regards to Muntari, he will get a 2.5 Year deal worth 1.7M per year starting in January when he recovers from injury. So, technically, he's not a Milan player right now.

Relieved to hear that. So technically he's unemployed now?

Interesting news from Galliani today. He thinks Montolivo will play RCM and LCM will be Nocerino. Backup is Constant, Traore, Strasser (maybe) and Urby. Ambrosini is backup for DM, which we are looking for a new player to replace Van Bommel.

Didac has apparently impressed enough at Espanyol and will remain for the new season, while Robinho was also confirmed as staying, with Galliani saying we want to keep him

I really would like Strasser to stay. Even with new anchor, Milan will only have two creative player. This means all subs will have less or more similar characteristic (maybe Constat is a bit more offensive than the others) and they fight for 3 spots which is pretty big chance for Strasser to get games with Milan.

I'm glad to hear Traore is only a backup. Replacement for Boss? Strootman pleaseeeeee.... Van Bommel is his replacement in PSV

Apparently interest for Zuniga.

Also, insane amount of links with kaka returning to milan, all over milannews, bbcsport, footballpress

I'm not against this move, but I'm not all for it either.

If we get kaka+strootman for a combined 20mln that would be some mercato
Although I think real still values kaka at like 20-30mln euros, after all he is 30, thats not too old and they bought him from us for 65 while he offered very little in return..

On constant, Pioli said he really suprised him, hes a great player.
Everyone is saying Constant as a solid signing, he could really succeed with us hes quick strong skillfull good shot.. good vision

quick video of him

Also I could never find a video or any footage of our new GK Gabriel in action, I finally did here:

Constant reminds me of Boateng except I better dribbling skill. He should be good for Milan.

Didac Vila stays with Milan and we drop Balzaretti interest.

A quick question: where can we talk about the latter phase of Euro now that the group stage was over? There's only the prediction thread.

For the defensive midfielder role... Why not go for Miguel Veloso? He's had an excellent EC so far and he plays for Genoa. Should be a cheap, easy and good solution if we're not willing to spend much.

Galliani: "Ibra will wear number 10 now." (with Seedorf gone)

I think this is pretty much confirmation that Ibra is going nowhere.

Ibrahimovic was given #10 at Inter right before he left for Barcelona, I believe.
