Summer Mercato 2011
Neymar has incredible talent, but I don't like the fact that he dives so much.
A player with his talent, i dont care how much he dives i'd still splash out the money for him.. I think barca will get him, eventually when messi is 28 we'll get messi, and neymar will be the worlds next best player, like with the ronaldinho situation i think barca was smart and made a ton of money off us for what r80 was doing with us, which wasnt much . but we also got a steal with ibrahimovic..

As far as this hole hamsik lamela situation goes.. I think hamsik will play the left midfield role, since we have seedorf and boateng at CAM plus robinho and cassano are also candidates for the position, by the time seedorf retires(next season) el shaaraway will probably be more matured and developed at 19 going on 20 + we may also get ganso. I'd be happy with this transfer campaign, of course i had higher hopes at one point like bale at left mid and fabregas as our CAM, but those are just day dreaming signings..

If i had to guess our entire mercato right now id say this
a young talented GK, astori back, cassano out ganso in, hamsikk as our gift or "mr.x" .. Apparently cassano may go to fiorentina according to milannews

Quite a record for me to read a post with which I have so many disagreement...

1. Milan is Milan, and I as a fan will never want a dirty player represents us (and our value).
2. Messi is different than Ronaldinho... His work ethics are FAR better (so he won't fall from grace THAT fast), he is their 'youth product' (not entirely true, but he came when he was 16, compare that to Dinho who already came as a big name in his early 20s)
3. Seriously you want our entire season filled with Seedorf and Boateng at CAM? And you're feeling safe with that?
4. Young talented GK... maybe next summer but not this one, especially when Abbiati is Serie A's best GK last season, Amelia just signed permanent deal, and Donnarumma is touted as one of best Italian GK in his generation.
5. Nah, Astori won't be back this season definitely, even next season is doubted. He's not in that level yet; everybody only hyped him because he's our youth product. Even Ranocchia and Bonucci who were hyped bigger than him failed to deliver in Inter and Juve for certain extent.
6. Why does everybody wishing Cassano out? He's cheap, dedicated, and useful. How many clubs could boast an attacking backup in his level

MILAN! MILAN! SOLO CON TE!
MILAN! MILAN! SEMPRE PER TE!
I dont wan't cassano out , its just a prediction.. seedorf and boateng aren't our only cams, cassano and binho are best as 2nd strikers but also could fill in for the CAM position, where would there be room for all these players? Ronaldinhos worth ethic was good too when he was in his golden days, astori isnt at the level to play with us YET but i would still take him back, abbiatis aging and it would be best to get a talented youngster now rather then when the price tag doubles, although its the least of my concerns.. As far as neymar goes he may dive but he is also very weak, he'll need to under go somewhat of a muscle gain like pato did, a talent like that? I think anyone would accept him into any team.. Diving may be a bad habit but i dont see an issue with getting rid of a habit like that.. I do agree with you on bonucci and ranocchia, over hyped a lot.. Astori to me reminds me a lot of ranocchia, inter, correct me if im wrong paid 15mln for ranocchia.. We could get our other half of astori alot cheaper, but you are completely right that this season is wrong to take him back.. We should give him a season or two to continue and plus our defence is stacked right now, at cb we'll have 4 players of which are either world class or reliable, yepes and mexes are reliable, mexes could even be world class if he brings his performance back to previous years which isn't to late considering his age, yepes even at his age is a good defender.. Plus we'll probably still have bonera if he doesn't leave .. Taiwo is a good addition as well imo, abate if he continues to develop could be the worlds best rb, alves is hitting his peak maybe even edging the end, maicon well who knows but this season he was pretty awful imo, if he was a 5 star player before i'd put him at 3 just for his performance against bale.. Alves would probably under go trouble against bale in that form with his speed but im sure he would've done a better job..

Spot on with ZvomirBoban. In addition I don't think Barca made much money from us regarding transfer of Ronaldinho. He was pretty cheap (10-15 mil euros IIRC) if we saw that he was still best player 1-2 years earlier. I don't say it was a good move by Milan but it was also not a bad move for Milan (that Barca made so much money from Ronaldinho's transfer). Sorry if I misunderstand your post.

No dont worry bro you understood it, sort of like the whole thing though he didnt do much for us and barca basically offloaded a big wage and messi stepped up to take the best player in the world and do what ronaldinho was doing for them, they did very well in making the sale all respect to our management though im sure they expected more from him as well
Hamsik EL Sharawwy Taiwo Mexes.
That's not a bad mercato , sure there is
No Ganso Cesc Bale , but I would be happy with that .if that's what happens.

I would have prefered if Merkel stayed , but hopefully he'll get 20+ games and come back improved.I do hope that we have our guys by pre-season training.
Will EL Sharawwy actually be with us , or will they evaluate his performance during the pre-season games.

I'm am still leaning towards us adding Hamsik EL Sharawwy and maybe Aqualani.I'd also try and sign Diamanti and make it known he is an impact player off the bench.
He's very talented good passer dribbled and has a great shot , and with players around him of the calibre that we have , he'd be a fair bit better.And he'd be cheap aswell I'd think maybe 2.5-5 million.Crazy idea maybe but as a bench player I think he'd be effective.

I haven't seen much of Neymar in actual games, but if you say he dives a lot - then he is definitely a perfect player for Barca. Devilol

They are saying we want Kucka to be our new Mark Van Bommel.
I prefer Sandro...
Regarding Ronaldinho, I think we helped Barcelona a lot.

- He was not cheap (21-25M. I use 2 sources: Guardian and transfermarkt.de).
- He was a time bomb at Barcelona, along with Eto and Deco (form dropped, still important but much less effective, brought the atmosphere down).
- His absence leave space for MESSI to grow. This is the best reason to be thanked.
