Summer mercato 2012

[xudong]

Rolando is saying "I only want Milan" according to footballitalia.....is he any good?

I have never seen him play. From what I read, some says that he can be very good.

But somehow I just can't gather enough interest. I would rather turn to some young Italians.

[sylrus]

same with u xudong
i prefer young italians as the new defender of milan
just read on goal.com that cassano wants to go to genoa
now thats unexpected

[Gabriel426]

According to Forbes, Milan's market value is the 5th highest among all football teams, behind ManU, Real, Barca and Arsenal. It is time to sell, if you ask me.

Links are getting heated for damiao

[Hasan Rossonero]

IMo, we won't get Tevez or Dzeko.

We will probably get Damiao. We cannot afford any established (in Europe) players.

And I think it will be hit or miss with this kid.

@Dev

Have you been able to confirm that the new stadium will be Udinese's own stadium. Or has the city council merely said they can refurbish some parts of it?

I know the city gave them the green light, but I still don't know if Udinese will actually own the stadium.

The first story just says that work will begin without being specific about ownership. I fear this may just be one of those things where the city council still holds on to the stadium, and Udinese builds on it...kinda like how we're planning to do with the San Siro currently.

This was where I read it, which unfortunately doesn't clarify who will gain ownership.

Yeah...Italian lawmaking can be really frustrating sometimes. Just pass Legge Crimi FFS!

I probably have watched him play for 3 or 4 times, but Damiao has never impressed me. I honestly believe that Pato is on a much higher level than him, and don't understand why some people hypes him that much. Maybe Pato is injured too much.

I do not want him. If we want some no-name (I know this is unfair to Damiao, as he is not really a no-name), why not get back Paloschi. Of course, Italian youngsters may not be good, but if we are serious with the long-term and sustainable project, that seems the only way (counting on your "own" players).

I also read that both Tevez's agent and Dzeko's agent were supposed to meet Galliani on Monday, but neither showed up to the scheduled meeting. Strange.

It is simply baffling that when we don't have money those who are on loan, co-owned are not first options and in some cases let go completely.

The agents landed in Paris instead? lol.

Not quite sure what you mean Reza, when we don't have money, we go for loan options, but no one wants to lend us great or good players anyway, so we get middle quality people.

When we do have money, Galliani still thinks like the miser he is, even if adding a million or two would have netted us a great quality player, and then someone else bids the additional one or two mil, and snap him up.

Either way, we never get great quality players unless we discovered them first, the unfortunate thing is, our greatest scout was kicked out our door and now sits atop the Eiffel Tower.



As for the agents..... lol, they took the wrong plane, and landed in the right city (or so they think)
