I couldn't access it from my cellphone but it works just fine when I use my computer. But they've been disappointing lately. The website always crashes during the game time.
Oh, and about Taiwo, from the little of him that I've seen, his outbursts forward reminds me of Cissokho when the latter was still playing for Porto. He's like a more muscled type of Abate. Like some others here I too would prefer a fancy dribbler kind in the mould of Coentrao, but at least he's an upgrade compares to Marek and Antonini.

We struggled to score vs Brescia with Robinho and Cassano attack, cuz we lacked a real striker who can keep the ball and can be wall for other players and make space for them...
Pato can injure himself any time, he has 10 injuries in 1.5 years...its too much...So we cant depent on him...
Constant is a quality player, he can be useful as rotation, also considering lack of alternatives if we dont renew Pirlo's and Seedorf's also Ambro's...i'd like to have him...Above all Asamoah would be great addition to our midfield trio...
In a way I'm scared to get rid of our entire Midfield. It's always better to have a smooth transition so the team keeps its identity and style..also the team passes on its history....
Having said that, in terms of our Midfield, from the players we've been linked to and the style of our team, I certainly see a transition taking place as follows:
In: Ganso, Poli, Constant
Out: Pirlo, Seedorf, Ambrosini, Flamini
Players to remain at least 1 more season: Boateng, Gattuso, Merkel, Strasser, Van Bommel, Emmanuelson
Of those in the "Out" section, I'd keep Ambrosini for 1 more year. I would release Pirlo & Seedorf, and sell Flamini.

Flamini is gone, as he won't be renew next year and it is better to sell him this summer then to lose him for nothing. Interestingly enough, there are plenty of EPL teams who would pay good money for him. Maybe Milan can swap him to the Spurs for Sandro.
Slowdorf and Pirlo are goners in my book, as their wages are too high and lets face it, they are not consistent enough. Beside, I have a feeling that Pirlo will always get injured here and there throughout the season.
Ambro will probably stay as long as he is not being offer a crazy amount by another team.
Strausser will probably be loan out to gain more exp, while Merkel will most certainly stay.
MVB will be re-sign for a 1 year deal.
I am not sure about Milan signing both Poli and Constant. Constant, as I said earlier is another Boateng while Poli has shown flashes of brilliance, not sure how he can improve by being on Milan bench. Since if Ganso does come, then the starting mid will be Gattuso, Boateng, MVB and Ganso, while you have a bench of Ambro, Constant, Urby, and Merkel on the bench.

Galliani confirms Boateng deal
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has confirmed that he will sign Kevin-Prince Boateng on a permanent basis from Genoa.
The Ghana international midfielder has been a revelation in his first season in Serie A.
He is currently co-owned by Genoa, but his impact has been so great that Milan have made his transfer a priority ahead of this summer.
Asked about the Boateng deal, Galliani said: “He is our player. Genoa's stake has been valued at €6m, which will rise to €7m in case Milan win the Scudetto.
“The deal was already defined in a restaurant some months ago in Rio de Janeiro.”

That can only be good news.
As for Kevin Constant, to be sincere, I know almost nothing about his playing style, I don't remember watching him this year. What kind of a midfielder is he? Holding, box-to-box, more defensive? Does anybody know a bit more about him?

This season, despite being benched early, when he's played that role he's making most successful tackles per minute of anyone on Sampdoria. And is on par with Gattuso, Van Bommel and Naingollaan who are best in serie A at this, this season
Considering samp might be going down, we should jump him and groom him to replace those players.
He's not really pirlo, who he gets compared to, though he is a good passer
I really like Poli as a future for our midfield, as he has a lot of unique qualities which could make him a world class holding midfielder. Could you provide the source of those stats?

LIVE - Summit concluso, l'entourage di Ganso lascia la sede del Milan
27.04.2011 11:15 di Antonio Vitiello articolo letto 17336 volte
13.17 - L'amministratore delegato del Milan, Adriano Galliani, è ancora negli uffici di via Turati, l'incontro con la Dis e con Thiago Ferro, agente di Ganso è terminato. Il dirigente del Milan per ora non è sceso ad incontrare la stampa, mentre l'entourage del giocatore brasiliano ha lasciato da una 20ina di minuti la sede ufficiale rossonera. Il summit di mercato per Ganso è concluso.
12.49 - Sono appena usciti dalla sede di via Turati gli agenti di Ganso. Thiago Ferro non ha voluto rilasciare dichiarazioni ai microfoni di MilanNews.it e gli altri giornalisti arrivati per l'incontro di mercato. Adriano Galliani è ancora negli uffici per discutere con l'agente di Farfan.
12.21 - Giacomo Petralito agente di Jefferson Farfan, come riporta Sky Sport 24, è arrivato da pochi minuti in via Turati: il procuratore incontrerà la dirigenza rossonera solo al termine del summit per Ganso.
12.10 - Al momento in via Turati sembra essere tutto tranquillo, il summit continua ai piani alti della sede ufficiale rossonera. Secondo quanto raccolto da MilanNews.it, accorso sul posto, sarebbe entrato anche Bobo Vieri in sede (evidentemente per altri motivi).
11.50 - Martedì Galliani si era incontrato a cena con Delcir Sonda, il proprietario del fondo che controlla diversi giocatori fra cui anche il fantasista brasiliano. L'ostacolo più grosso - riporta il Corriere della Sera - è rappresentato dalla clausola rescissoria fissata a 50 milioni di euro: il Santos preme per avere la sua parte, circa 20 milioni di euro, il fondo vuole abbassare il prezzo e chiede al Milan se è disposto ad un'eventuale partnership.
11.20 - L'amministratore delegato del Milan, Adriano Galliani, e il direttore sportivo, Ariedo Braida, sono arrivati nella sede di via Turati poco prima delle 9. Dopo circa un'ora hanno ricevuto la visita degli emissari del calciatore: fra gli altri sono presenti l'agente di Ganso, Thiago Ferro, e il procuratore italiano Gaetano Paolillo, in veste di mediatore.
10.45 - Dopo la conferma dell'acquisto definitivo di Kevin Prince Boateng, il Milan potrebbe mettere a segno un altro importante colpo. In via Turati ci stanno lavorando da molto ma in questi minuti potrebbe decidersi il futuro di Ganso in rossonero. E' infatti iniziato il summit di mercato con l'entourage del giocatore del Santos. Secondo Sky, Galliani in questo momento sta trattando con il presidente della DIS e Thiago Ferro, agente del brasiliano. In via Turati sono presenti anche Ariedo Braida e Gaetano Paolillo.

What the hell is all this about? did we sign Ganso?
Constant is more box to box, as i watched him with Chievo as trequartista and LCM in midfield trio...as a rotation player he is welcomed...He is defenitely will be a good asset to our midfield...
However in the case Flamini, Seedorf and Pirlo will leave, we will need more quality in CM, Hernanes would be perfect pick that role...
We cant depent Van Bommel there as there is no quarentee that he will perform at same level next season also considering lack of alternatives in there if we release Pirlo and Seedorf and sell Flamini...Poli is not even a starter for Samp...so it will be difficult...
Happy for Boateng deal...7 m euros is nothing for a player like him...But Genoa got a good profit...They got Berretta's half and bring a quality player to Serie A...Hope to make same kind of deals with them in the future...
They signed Veloso and Rafinha and they werent useful like they expected and they signed Boateng for us...WOW...
i'd be very pleased if Genoa signs Lucas Marcelinho or Arouca for us and then loan them to us... Arouca would be nice addition to our side...maybe we can loan Acquaresfca from them instead Cagliari...as vice ibra, he could be a nice alternative...Big, strong and good finisher...
We will have Merkel, Emanulson, Boateng and Constant for LCM...Arouca, Van Bommel for CM...Gattuso, Ambrosini for DM...Maybe Pazienza...
Constant low cost, Pazienza free, Arouca low cost...
Flamini, Pirlo, Seedorf out... 6 m euros, 4.5 m euros and 4 m euros. 14.5 m euros...
