I hope you're right elmago because if we dont invest this year on players like neymar,ganso etc we will probably never get them after they apply that new rule that you can only spend what you earn.. we don't have our own stadium and in all honest we earn near half of what real and manu and barca pull in every year. so really this is the mercato to invest and spend LOADS of money. i expect big changes.. of course once that rule is put into play many team alike will have to inflate their asking prices for players or there wont even be AVERAGE teams anymore there will just be basically just be the milan and inters the man us and chelseas and the real and barcas teams like udine and roma and sevilla and the likes unless they can produce youth talent and by means of youth 18- then they wont be quite competitive
We're linked to Lavezzi according to Il Roma and apparently have offered around 20million euros for him (Napoli value him around 27). Interesting thing is he's recently bought a flat in Milan.
No news for bale recently?! 20 million for lavezzi? maybe with 30 million,we can get bale.
May god with chinese footbball
Why is Milan being link with another player who plays exactly like Cassano and Robinho? If there is anyone from Napoli, the name should be Hamsik and Santacroce.
There should be a swap for Papa and Santacroce.
Yeah, why are we link now with so many forward-winger? We don't play 4-2-3-1 and shouldn't play that formation since we need many players for that formation.

I disagre as I think we have many tools to play 4-2-3-1, maybe requiring 1 or 2 players to really make it a strong system for us to use. The way I'd like to see the system implemented is with a back 4 with two offensive fullbacks who are capable of overalapping the two wide attacking players. Abate is already one and it looks very likely we'll get a LB.
In midfield, we need to holding midfielders, both capable ball players and both solid in the tackle. Van Bommel and Ambrosini are two examples, and potentially we could even use Pirlo as a ball playing deep midfielder. Then there's Gattuso who is a good destroyer and can press opponents well. Personally, I'd like to see a new face for one of these roles, but we do have players for the roles.
The 3 men higher up should be balanced as offensive weapons, but players capable tracking back to perform defensive duties. Boateng is a great player for the system as he can play in wide areas or can be a central player in the three (never mind we're after Ganso who is perfect for the central role). He's also capable of dropping deep to make a 3 man midfield. Pirlo can also play as a creator in the middle or on the left, cutting in (with a fullback overlapping). Flamini is another well suited to playing a solid role in wide areas, although may lack the quality to fulfill his attacking duties. If we say we need a balanced midfielder who can attack or defend on one wing, we need a wide forward for the other wing. We are in no way short in this position with Robinho and Cassano, with also Pato more than capable as well. Add in some variation with more natural widemen like Urby, and you've got a pretty balanced system with possibilities of variation.
Up front we need attackers of various qualities, whether it be a target man (Ibra), a player to stretch opponents with his movement (Pato) or a poacher (Pippo and Pato). We're in no way short in this aspect.
I'd argue we need maybe 2-3 players to really make the most of the system. One holding midfielder, Ganso and probably another wide option.
I'm not worried about Boateng, he can play anywhere, he works so hard and is a monster!!!
its the best thing that continue to play with 4-3-1-2...We already adapted it to well, there is no need to wasting another year on 4-2-3-1...
Pazienza? we already have enough DM's. if Flamini will be sold, im okay with it...Otherwise there is no need to sign him...
For midfield, we should think about adding quality, Fernando(Porto) as DM will add quality...Nuri Sahin as a deep playmaker will add quality...Asamoah(Udinese) as LCM, he will add quality...(then, Lets think about other options, Nainngolan, Guarin, Constant e.t.c)
Hulk? i rate him since i first saw him. Strong, fast and great dribbler...i'd like to have him...Same goes for Falcao who is the closest thing to inzaghi for me...
We need to drop this wages, im okay with Seedorf 2 m euros at most 1 year contract, otherwise let him go. Same goes for Pirlo and Ambrosini. we just need to offload Reserve FB's and CB's. Papa, Onyewu, Bonera, Jankulovski,
Oddo, Vila...if we sign a quality FB, We should sell Antonini as well...
Flamini on wage, he is a problem...he earns 5.1 m euros a year. we need to get rid of it...
The aim should be 22 quality players and primavera players...
Taiwo free, Ganso 20-25 m euros, Astori low cost, ibra+Boateng(with Borriello's sale)
I think a deal for Ganso will be done before the summer mercato.. We're linked with Robben again and it looks likely he'll leave.. hopefully we dont get him instead of ganso though because robben isn't really what we need imo.. Braida apparently went on a "recruitment mission" yesterday to complete a deal for Ganso and midfielder Fernando from porto also a younger talent they have named Ferreira..
