What players Milan should buy in January?

I dont follow Chelsea...I dont like this team. About Kaka..yes he is very fast, but only when he wants to be fast. Recently Kaka is very moody.

Stefano Mauri from Lazio would be the perfect transfer this January. He can step in at any position in midfield, expecially Seedorf's. We lack attacking options in the middle and that is really noticable when Pirlo is not on the field. Our game goes down when Pirlo is not playing. Ambro and Brocchi are good players, but they can only step in for Gattuso. If they substitute either Seedorf or Pirlo then our middfield becomes flat with Kaka being the ony big attacking threat. Gourcuff is obviously good, but for the time being he is injured and when he is not, he is the ONLY attacking option in our midfield.
Mauri is not cup-tied and he can really add new dimensions to our middle. He would also not cost much.
Another option would be Barone from Torino.

About the forwards.......it looks like we badly need one at this moment, but there is 2 whole months untill January and any one of our strikers can hit form at any time. The strikers problem seems to be form, so lets wait untill January if we actually need a striker.
Galliani today has however said that Milan won't shop in January, which I don't find surprizing. Milan almost never buys players in January.

Ronaldinho and Drogba were asked about the rumours linking them to the Rossoneri. They both responded "No comment".

This rule about players buying out their contracts, does anyone know why it only comes into effect in the latter stages of a contract?

Seems an odd rule to be honest.

Would we call him slow if he was still in our jersey? I've heard so many players who enter the EPL say they end up fearign for life and limb out on the pitch b/c of how brutal they play in that leauge. Not finesse, just brutal moves. I think if I were someone like Sheva, I'd lay low a bit and not be a target to their nasty tackles that have broken so many legs.

If he was slow, we would call him slow like we have criticized Cafu. I don't know much about injuries, but the match of Chelsea last week was brutal.

Sheva aint slow. He is just having communication problems with his peers at chelsea wrt channels he should run during a mach, linking up with drogba etc.
Regarding the buy out clause. I think it only applies to players under the age of 24, otherwise everyone would be buying everything. O this is my 100th post. Lets celebrate!

it appiles on every one who only has 1 year left as far as I read.

no, I think it applies to everyone who has had their current contract for 3 years. So if you sign a 4, 5 or even 8 year contract (such as Fabregas has just done) after 3 years you can use this rule. It might even be only 2 years if you are over 28, I'm sure I've read something like that.

the 24 thing, I THINK, means that player has to have his contract improved or matched or else he can opt to leave on free transfer.

I think these are the rules anyway.

i like your inclusion of kan klass huntelaarin your list he is the answer to the goal drought that is disturbing milan, i have being an advocate of his inclusion into the milan setup.

no, after 3 years, and only 1 year left, I'm very sure.

as far as i am concerned this speculation of drogba and ronaldino joining milan is nonsense , there are strikers like huntelaar who are young, skillful, extremelytalented and unattached at the moment it is not good for milan to chase shadows. i know for sure that this young lad huntelaar can slove our present problems , i am very disappointed in all of u , we should be serious when we talk about the welfare of milan instead of posting romantic pictures of our selves and speaking in tongues.

re: sheva

personally I think that moving between italy/england/spain should be discouraged once you're beyond your peak. Sheva is still amazing but as a striker at 30 his preformances were going to start dropping. you can't teach an old dog new tricks as they say, he's got to learn a new way of moving, learn to understand his team mates, learn how defenders react (english defenders pride themselves on throwing themselves into sliding tackles where italian ones prefer to try and contain strikers)

it's too much. MAYBE chelsea will get half a season of class from him, but it's no sure thing. After the hype's worn off next year he'll be thrown into the rotation system with all the new signings they'll inevitably make.

And maybe you should climb out of the cupboard and watch the news. Ost rumours posted on here are from news sites. If there were no rumours this forum would be boring. So as for you... get a life
