Summer Mercato 2011

No way Milan loan him to Espanyol just to get accustomed with European football. It is better for Milan to keep him even he is not playing since that is until now the best way for Brazilian players to adapt with European football (Milan) like Silva and Pato.

me neither but getting Ganso should be the first job

[Siregar]

I think, we need only to wait the rule of non-EU spot back like previous seasons. Ganso is our first target IMO and I really like to see how he deal with Italian football.

If we get Ganso, do you think he'll be our left midfielder or CAM? Do you guys think we'll buy a player for each of those positions? I'm beginning to think we were dreaming when speaking about buying fabregas and bale or fabregas and hamsik etc.. I think we will see one-two players, Ganso then probably a youth talent like witsel or el shraway or something in that category

[Siregar]

Seeing we seek a left CM and that is the only position we don't have fresh player there, I predict Allegri will use him as left CM and I think he is capable doing the job there, as conductor of the game and we keep the CAM for player who play simple, mobile and free role.

I think it is very uneralistic to expect 2 top players to come this summer.

Seedorf is still here, so we will buy only 1 player...probably wietsel and that's it...

No one would be happier than me if we get Fabregas OR Hamsik, but to get both.....impossible

The dream would be Ganso,Hernanes and Sandroby Aug 31, then Flamini and Slowdorf leave on the same day.
I am preying for that just like last season with Ibra and Robinho then Borri and Hunter left in a matter of seconds.

There's no way Seedorf will be sold 2-3 months after signing extention. What's probably going to happen is that we get a LCM who's not a star player who will cost 10-15 million. But then we will also sign Ganso who wouldn't come until January. That's my current guess.

And there is no way we will get Cesc. I never believed it and I never will. Those who believe this should pass me the whatever you are using. We don't buy players of that caliber - we make them and then try to hold on to them.

Asamoah would be a quality buy because he's already shown he can play very well in Serie A and he still has potential to be world class. But if he just continues with the type of play he's already shown, we would still benefit. In other words, he's the least risk-vs-cost player of all the names we are linked to.

Hamsik would be ideal, but he's probably too expensive and there's obviously political issues involved when Berlu said to a napoli crowd at a political press conerence for a candidate (i think mayoral) that we wouldn't sign him (unless this election occurs before aug 31). Witsel is an complete risk - he may end up being the next Zizou, but just as likely he could be the biggest bust in the history of Serie A.

Seriously though, with just Asamoah and hopefully Ganso in January, we can have a pretty decent squad - both for italy and UCL. In the corporate world, we have the phrase "manage expectations". I think most MMers here should start doing that. Stop dreaming about multiple superstar players and start being more realistic. If we somehow got Cesc (and we won't). Then everyone can be pleasantly surprised.

Off Topic.

Ibra manged a hatrick and an assist last night against Finland. And he was introduced after 25 min.

10-15 and not a star
what a ridicoulus price
5-8 is a price for 'not a star' player
