Winter Mercato

Now it would be fair that Galliani buys the players Carlo wants! Ribery, Eto'o and CB!!

according to the Spanish press, Emerson is close to coming to Milan (a figure in the vicinity of 10 mil is being mentioned):

That is waaaay too much for him! Plus, we have to deal with Real Merda! NO TO EMERSON. Let him stay there.

I heard they want R.O in that deal, this would depend on if R10 was to come our way.

Now after Carlo has won, and I've heard a lot of talk that if he wins Milan will go for the players he wants, we could see Kaladze off to Chelsea... like this....
1. Carlo wants Alex, and he is owned by Chelsea...
2. Mourinho actually stopped Alex transfer to Chelsea in few occasions as he apparently doesnt want him in there....
3.Kaladze was already linked and almost signed with Chelsea last summer, and plus, he and Sheva are best friends....
4. Sheva WILL NOT come back to Milan
5.... we get Alex and give them Kaladze....
------------------------------------------------
I really like Kaladze and he is a versatily player who we can also use as a LB, but if the man is unhappy, than we should take this chance to get Alex who is only 23 and is a brilliant player who can be a future of our defence....

if kaladze does leave then we'll need to get 2 CBs, at least, as we need one now even with Kakha in the team.
Billy is gone, Maldini at almost 39 yo is no longer a guarantee from a physical point of view, and Simic is on his way out, it seems as he wants to play more regularly and also this last season hasn't been too kind to his performances for the club when called upon.
Also, Maldini is certain to undergo a knee surgery to take care of his swallen-knee problem (the one that doesn't allow him to play two consecutive games) and even if the surgery is successful, he is expected to be on the sidelines for close to the entire summer, so he will need some time into the regular season before he is match-fit again.

Ideally for me, we'd keep Kaladze and get one of ALex, Chivu, or Mexes, in that order as one wouldn't want too many new faces at the back since the new players will take some time to fit in, if ever.

btw, I think there is great chace IMO that SHeva is coming back - an offer of around 20-25 mil euros (not inlcuding Kaladze in the deal) would be more than enough to let him go (let's not forget that Sheva and Roman are very good friends too and Roman could agree to make his firend happy).
I personally would prefer to see Milan go for some younger blood though, now that we have Ronaldo.

calciomercato says we'll go for Eto'o, Zambrotta and emerson....for now.

Agree with zlat, I think we need to keep kaladze...and get one of the above mentioned... CHivu should be the best solution as his been seen as Maldini successor from the Ajax times....and his matured a lot lately.

I dont see the point of bringing sheva back now,after the latest display of Ronaldo,Seedorf and Ambro(most likely will loose its place to Sheva)....Bring new blood(read Huntelar or somebody else)
If we Bring sheva than I think we should sell Gila(I dont think he would like to be the third violin,if he couldnt get a starting place with only Pippo available then most likely he wont play with both Sheva and Ronaldo).Lets face it Gila has never been the most loyal player,he would probably leave.(Dru would be delighetd )

Milan Rule Out Buffon Move

Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has ruled out making a bid for Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon.

The Rossoneri are still on cloud nine following their UEFA Champions League final win over Liverpool, but club president Berlusconi is already making plans for next term.

Italy World Cup winner Buffon has long been linked with a move away from Turin despite Juve securing promotion back to Serie A.

Milan have been put forward as likely summer suitors, but Berlusconi claims he has the utmost faith in Brazilian Dida and is not looking to bring in Buffon.

"Buffon?" Berlusconi told the Italian press. "No, I can exclude this affair.

"He's a big keeper but we have a big faith in Dida with whom we have also recently extended a contract."

I want to dedicate the Champions League trophy for ALL players who decided NOT to join Milan last summer due to the little chance of us not participating in the CL. *cough* Zambrotta *cough*

hahaha! Bravo!!! Ibra, Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Sheva...this is for you guys!!

Emerson?

This trophy is also for Rui, Stam, Crespo, & all who were robbed in Istanbul.

I don't see us losing Kaladze to Chelsea after some of his recent comments. He seems to feel Sheva isn't appreciated there at all and that he was very glad he didn't go Chelsea when he could have before.

As for Emerson, can't say I want him.

You just win the league and the first name you are heavily associated with is Emerson in a deal worth £7 million + Oliveira!

I don't get this move at all, you have Ze Roberto who is the better player playing really well, full of confidence and a free transfer (99% sure of that) and then you have Emerson who's being heckled and is down on his luck. Why waste the funds? Seems a strange choice and not one we should go for, let him stay in Madrid, we don't want him.

We have plenty of experience, we don't need more we need young exciting prospects or reasonably established players.
