Summer mercato 2012

[Aficio]

If they play in Serie A, they couldn't have such money and attraction

[Ryo]

The only positive I can think of, Juve don't get him. Lets see if we get ANYONE at all.

[xudong]

I heard rumor that Sahin is going to Liverpool on loan + option to buy with 8M.

[Ryo]

8M for a quality Midfielder is a steal. I wonder if we'd ever be willing (because I know we are definitely able) to match that valuation.

[Aficio]

This rumor reminds me of Aquilani. I still think we were too cheap as the former Roma player can contribute a lot for us.

[WCmilan]

I have/had mixed feeling on aquilani. He's with out a doubt a good player, but he is very injury prone and even when playing he isn't a huge creative force in our midfield, but he has got some creativity, he isn't a defensive beast, but does have his defensive side, he isnt insanely fast but he is quite fast, hes energetic but not any nocerino, hes got a good shot but not amazing.

All in all, i think aquilani was just average-good at almost every part of the game which made him an all around good player, but he never had an outstanding characteristic which imo holds him back. I mean, nocerino is great at pressing and great at finishing, boateng has great athletisicm and has a very hard shot, very unpredictable and has a flashy style to his game. Cassano is just pure class but out of shape, pato is super fast and an excellent finisher..

I wen't on quite long about aquilani lmao but im just trying to point out that a player that is just all around average with out any outstanding qualities to me is just a squad player and i still don't think he'd play a vital role in our midfield, him being injury prone is just another negative and he isnt very consistent even when fit.

Sahin for 8million is a steal, our kind of deal (i rhymed it to) its strange if that deal does have any truth and goes through why galliani couldn't make a similar offer, are we really that cheap?

Still awaiting something special.. but options are becoming slimmer and slimmer every day, we have to sign a non eu striker since our links in dzeko,tevez,damiao cannot happen the only other big name link we had was RVP, signs for Manure, at the end of the day i didnt expect anything huge but i would've expected something better then this.
Giuseppe rossi would be a steal right now, he's only 25 so his injuries shouldn't take a major toll on his playing he'll just need to regain fitness imo 3-4 months of training/playing once he's healed, next season we will have a very good 26 year old rossi with plenty to offer so i think its good business.


Also, what do you guys think of niklas bendtner from arsenal? Heating links for him arriving and he's also recently I these last couple of days requested a transfer from arsenal.. He's a good finisher given the opportunity and 80% of his goals have been important ones for arsenal and hes said he's lost motivation due to not being able to frequently compete at a high level and wants often playing time in cl. He's 24 years old and his talent is undeniable IMO but he's flopped pretty much at arsenal .. I think this may be our man, talented but not shown everything therefore cheap and doesn't bring a heavy wage

[Aficio]

Aquilani is an all-rounder who can be a good mezzala for us, especially now when we low on passing players. I still remember his two near assists that Nocerino and Robinho unbelievably and ridiculously missed (Barcelona and an Serie A match).

Milan in 2002-2009 boasted a team of great playmakers like Rui Costa, Seedorf, Pirlo & Kaka and even managed to play all for of them in a match, but now only Montolivo is not enough for the task.

I don't miss Aquilani, but we need a (cheap) player who can pass the ball if it is still early for the youngsters.

Edit: Bendtner (loan with option to buy) is nice as I don't hope for a Ibra + Robinho transfer this summer.

A.C. Milan communicates that Hachim Mastour has failed a medical examination. The young player will undergo further tests in the upcoming weeks. Mastour will not be able to train with the Allievei nazionali, coached by Filippo Inzaghi, until he receives medical clearance.


So that's why he wasn't included in the Allievi nazionali, I hope he doesn't have teeth problems like Cissokho.

Is it a way to draw attention away from him and to put less pressure on him? Sounds fair. Let us not hype him too much and destroy his potential; he is just 14 after all, this media pressure may break him before he even signs his full contract with us...

I wouldn't say it's a steal, as Real got him only for about 10m and he's not done anything since moving.

I would say this hardly draws attention away from him, it's everywhere in the press. If anything, we should have dealt with it quietly and let his next examination pass.
