Winter mercato January 2015

[Jay Crisp]

I don't know if it is sponsors. I heard it's to sell a minority share, with the money possibly financing the stadium project. I don't think this is about improving transfer mercato money tbh.

Other translations on another board say its just sponsors , and theyre trying to get a new deal with Fly Emirates , Berlusconi isnt interested in and has no intention to sell any of the club.The sponsors thing may be trying to find a company to finance a large chunk of the stadium by letting them name it.But we'd really have to be back in UCL for that to work as Serie A alone isbt a big enough stage.But when it comes to our MGT owners etc... I believe nowt , Id bet that we'll still see Milan playing at San Siro in 2025.

You're right, there's more about this and it's all about sponsorship now. More talks will happen in Dubai, Richard Lee might be a partner to expand the brand in China and Barbara will apparently visit Japan:

Also, back to the mercato specifically, there's a list of names that could leave in January:

Mexes, Pazzini and Niang are the biggest names (also assume Zaccardo)

Why hasn't Niang played at all this season anyway? Pippo gave him plenty of minutes during the summer but he's been shunned up to now. I assume he'll be gone in January..

Probably better options in Torres Menez SES Honda in Pippos opinion.Looks like he will leave.Im not against it if we get a player in return in a position we need like CM.Obiangs name was mentioned.

Who i'd get shut of in Jan is Agazzi Zaccardo Saponara use Niang as a bargaining chip.Essien Bonera Abiatti Pazzo (IIRC) Mexes are out of contract in June , so are Abate DeJong.We'll see what happens , it could be interesing but I doubt it prob will be the same old same old...Bonera Abiatti will be renewed DeJong Abate too.

Where being linked to Illaramendi heavily.Loan no option no set fee.Dry 6 month loan.Not what we need overatted (better than Muntari Essien Poli Saponara though) no creativity good at defensive midfield stuff.

[slifersd]

Illaramendi is better than the crop of trash that we have as midfielders now, so he is welcomed. Sure, this move provides no long term benefits for us, but the goal is obviously to do everything possible to get to CL this year and worry about everything else later. So, yeah, sure, why not. I do wonder if Madrid will actually loan him though. If Khedira leaves, Illara is their only defensive midfielder left on the bench. Unless they believe Modric and Kroos are made of steel, i would probably keep Illara around just in case.

[Arildonardo]

Dry loan...

Anyway, Illarramendi is also linked with Liverpool and Arsenal.

[Acmir]

Like we need another defensive midfielder, plus Montolivo will be back for the second part of the season. We desperately need creativity in midfield not another defensive midfielder.

[Jay Crisp]

We will be linked to every free player or player thats not crap in his position and available on loan.

Maybe because he's totally mediocre like I stated many times? Pippo realized this in pre-season and told Niang he'd be better off on loan. Unfortunately Niang's ego couldn't handle it so he's been rotting on the bench.

PS where are the jokers who dared mention Niang's name in the same sentence as Henry, Vieri?
