Summer mercato 2012
He allegedly is a Milan fan. Before his injury, I believe that his asking price was 20-25M. 11M would still be a steal, but of course we don't know the extent and impact of his injury.
G.Rossi will be out for like 18 months all told. He may never be the same again, and we have 2 SS's on the team already. Really, El Shaaraway is a SS as well, so make it 3.

With guys like Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Seedorf no longer in our midfield, I think we can play a 3 man midfield. I would like a Christmas Tree with Cassano and Robinho dropping deep when necessary, but also playing interchangeably to support Pato and feed him tons of balls through on Goal. This would be the best system we have currently:

-------------------Pato------------------
---------Cassano--------Robinho--------
---Nocerino----Montolivo----Boateng--
-Urby-----Acerbi-----Mexes-------Abate

For this we'd need to buy 1 more Target man (Matri, Dzeko, Damiao, Pazzini, etc) and then guys like Traore, Flamini, would rotate in midfield as they're runners which would be needed. I don't want to see Antonini at LB anymore, he's right footed and should only play when necessary. Urby should play there as I don't think he's good enough (IMO) for midfield despite all the hype.

Our defense is far from what I as an Italian would like to see. I think it's very weak at the back, if not atrocious, and if one of those guys goes down or can't perform or even gets tired, we'll have to see Bonera or Yepes. Scary. Anyhow, up top is fine for me that was never the problem. This is the best we can hope for at this point in time. At least we'll score goals, assuming Pato stays fit.

I posted a link in the other page with the inside report of Marco Branca meeting with São Paulo president. Inter offered R$25m and it was promptly denied...

I just look at all sites here one more timeand there´s no report of this bid being accepted.

Bruno Uvini and Juan were the CB pair of Brazil under-20 national team that won the last world cup of the category. One of the reasons that Milan new GK Gabriel shone at the world cup. He was tested a lot during the games and just stopped everything.

Mano Menezes chose to call Hulk(huge mistake) and not another CB as one of the 3 players above 23 years old. The most irritating thing is that there are better defenders here under-23 that Mano left... Rafael Toloi is an example.

How can a coach call these 2 over a guy like Toloi is beyond me...

LOL everybody in brasil hates menezes, I hope we still take a look at damiao still hurts we let Thiago go but that's life

I'm sure univi and juan have potential.. But I think dede is more then just potential ATM. I rate hulk highly but you probably have seen and know more about him.

I have a question for you on Damiao, he's one of our candidates to potentially replace ibra, how do you rate him? I know he can score goals, but I'm not 100% about how he plays because I've just seen statistics and haven't really watched a full 90 minutes of him. Is he someone we really need? If he's similar to pato, a fast goal scoring machine then I'm tied up on whether he's a good repalcement for ibra, I was thinking someone like dzeko or RVP, a creative tower like striker (although dzeko is not all that creative)

ALSO, what do you think of kakas potential return? I think if damiao arrived it would even out with kakas arrival, simply because we do not have a pure CAM right now and we lack a bit of creativity and the type of class kaka can bring to our team, also with out ibra it will be tough as he assisted probably 40% of our goals.

Lastly, regarding transfer news i'm sure there is a lot more inside scoop in brazil, is there any news on neymar? I wish we'd go for the guy.. He's a guarenteed super talent, I don't get it. No matter the crisis were in its not like berlu to make no attempt to sign him, for god sakes last season being 60mln euros in debt he attempted at c.ronaldo, and tevez in january after we already had cassano,binho,ibra,pato,els.. I also hope Lucas does not go to inter, but from what I've seen lately I think oscar is even further talented

It is being reported in Spain that we offered 6Mio + bonuses while Villarreal are asking for 11Mio.
Great link as far as I'm concerned and sure hope we sign him even if for 11Mio.
I seem to remember that he confessed he was a Milan fan in the past no?

I'd rather we take Rossi than Kaka if I'm honest. Cheaper and younger, and it's not like his injury situation is particularly worse (one very long injury compared to constant smaller injury problems).

Maybe, but daily mail isn't reliable.
