It's fine that you can think of Milan as a business where we have to make money to survive, but i think of Milan as a passion that i want to see winning the big trophies. if ur happy with mediocre players ans saving pennies, fine, but if you don't look after the team on the pitch, then u don't win anything, u lose fans in the stands, merchandise sales, etc. You need to spend money to make money. if Milan got Ronaldinho, how many jerseys would we sell, how many fans would return to stands. alot more than those paying to see favalli & oliviera mess up each week.

I agree 100% with you!To make money and great team you must splash the money!
Remember when Beckham went at real madrid,the next day Real got his money back from Beckham's transfers only from his shirt sale in a record time of selling his shirt!They got the player and more of the money of the transfer and quickly!

Milan dream of Adri

Milan President Silvio Berlusconi would love to see Adriano link up with Kaka for the Rossoneri – but admits it is unlikely to ever happen.

The outspoken chief was questioned about the club’s plans for the transfer market and admitted that his wish of seeing the two Brazilian stars play together at the San Siro is unlikely to come true.

“Adriano and Kaka together at Milan? It seems an impossible dream,” said the former Prime Minister.

“It would be great to see them play in the same team, but I don’t think that will happen. Furthermore, I would never want to give the impression that we want to buy everyone on the market.”

Berlusconi also stated that the offer made to Lazio for world champion defender Massimo Oddo is adequate and that the Via Turati club is not willing to increase it.

“We made a good offer for the player, now we must just wait and see if Lazio agree. Oddo is a player of a certain age and with a past. Milan made an offer that cannot be raised.”

Vice-President Adriano Galliani and Lazio patron Claudio Lotito had admitted on Tuesday that the switch was far from being completed, as the main issue remained Lazio’s valuation of the 30-year-old.

Berlusconi keeps dreaming, without doing something. I don't care if we don't buy another player now in January, but if he keeps dreaming in the summer transfer-window too, than we have a problem.

And Beckham's transfer made Real great? You cant be serious! Clearly you guys need a lesson on some business/success concepts. Berlu though a billionaire has many priorities besides Milan. Spread the overhead costs all around his ENTIRE business empire and you'll get a clear picture at what I'm getting at. Milan can on its own enterprising pull this off without a welfare handout from its chairman every single year. We have been succesful in such way and will continue to be so.

Milan: Audi nuovo sponsor istituzionale

12:15 del 11 gennaio

Audi diventa nuovo Sponsor Istituzionale dell'A.C. Milan. Alla base dell'accordo c'è un'intesa perfetta tra due Team di livello mondiale, che rappresentano la massima espressione di prestigio, immagine, qualità e risultati ottenuti.

So we have a new sponsor!Thats good and i think we got some hot cash from that agreement.

Pajo · 11-01-2007, 08:00

Adriano in Mialn?? Pfff, just dream on dudes, it's free...

Seriously, Adri won't leave Inter at least not now. He just started to score after 200 crazy days, partying with girls and drinking.
So, the only way him to leave Inter would require large salry (I'm not talking about the fee Milan has to pay to Inter). And I don't believe that is right, I mean, his form is still not back, and it would be gambling to try sing him. Howeve, it would be worthless...

We will only be able to buy him if he keeps struggeling. It looks now that he has refound his old form, or at least has made steps towards his old form. But if he keeps struggeling than maybe we will buy him and perhaps he becomes a new Pirlo, Seedorf...

Pajo · 11-01-2007, 08:16

Perhaps he will... But I won't be so sure about thet, Prlo was just a kid when Milan bought him, as for Seedorf, Inter needed the money back than... This is different. Inter does not need money, and the fans love Adriano. Especially if he regains his old form, no one can buy him.

Is this instead of BWIN, or just another sponsor to add to our ranks? Just checking ...

hitmannq8 · 11-01-2007, 08:44

they are just normal sponsors, like D&G, warner bro's etc. our shirt sponsors for this year will remain as Bwin..i think we signed a deal with them for 5 years but im not 100%

Vinesh · 11-01-2007, 08:52

i hope Audi is not our shirt sponsor as i bought the bwin kit for a considerable expense!

NAMMY · 11-01-2007, 09:05

Ah, thought so. I'd rather have Audi as shirt sponsor though ... or just Opel again!

mrki · 11-01-2007, 09:38

Aparently Milan has 215 mil to spend in mercato. Mercato is separated in 2 fazes: in january Milan will only try to buy Oddo( will join us after the Lazio-Milan match) and Grimi ( dome ), to fix up the defence, and in the summer there will be reconstruction of the team.

Tuncay from Fener is blocked by Milan and "will" join us in the summer. He is a pretty good midfielder if you ask me. Like Fiore or so.
We have offered 15 mil for Pato, and will go for Roonaldinho and Buffon in the summer. Also, Zampata and Barzagli are wanted by Galliani for the defence.....

SKy says that, so....

Warp05 · 11-01-2007, 09:57

That´s a lot of money....meaning good players (world class).
Just hope its true.

I had a chance to watch Tuncay in one match, and he impressed me, plays really good, he is attacking midfielder, fast, with good dribble and shot.

If Dida doesn´t sign new deal, the best possible solution is Buffon, there´s no question there, hope he´ll rather join us than Inter.
