Milan are closer to Amauri than it seems. Amauri's agent confirmed that Milan are interested and he says he'll be in Milano over the next few days.

I've not been following Palermo this season, so i don't know how well Amauri is doing for his club. Obviously he is trying to recapture the fine form he had at the start of last season before his injury, if he manages to find it then he'll be a good purchase.

I guess we'll have to follow the rest of the season and see how well both he & Palermo do.

Happy to hear that. Amauri have what the Milan's forwards need. But, frankly, this must be proved by A.Gallani to be true. Though people often say that Gallani used to tell lie, but every name must be heard from him to be true (confirm or refuse ).

Only reason im against it is cuz he would be cup-tied. He played in the UEFA cup

Worry not my friend.
Those who played in UEFA Cup will be eligible to play in CL after February.

And yes, i'm 100% sure about this

Oh, and it says that Milan want him in June, not in January. And that Palermo will not sell him in January. Only in June and if they don't take one of the top4 places in serie A this season.

Really?? So that means Toni can play for us in CL?

It does.
We discussed this last year, here on MM, and we all thought that if someone plays in UEFA cup can not play for another team in CL.
But then we read an article about Amelia Being eligible to play for Milan (he was playing in UEFA with Livorno) and we found UEFA regulations where it was clearly said that a player can change teams but only in case they don't play in the same competition or they weren't in the same competition during the season.
The last part means that if , lets say Ibrahimovic, played for Inter in CL and Inter got the 3rd place in their group, he can't play for another team in CL because Inter were in CL, and he can't play for another team in UEFA because Inter will play UEFA from February.

But if Milan survives the group and stays in CL, then any player who didn't play in CL, even if he played for an UEFA Cup team, can join Milan and play for Milan in CL.

WRONG! Every great player?..Who do you know that has done that, apart from Sheva and Ballack? I don't see any 30-year-old superstars in Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd...

Amauri plays pretty good this season. He is very active and energetic...a bit arrogant though. However I would not mind to have him in Milan.

it looks like milan will take a shot at buying amauri, its possible, and another brazilian, he will just get better and better as the years go on, i say milan should go for it:Palermo striker Amauri is wanted by three of Europe’s top clubs, his representative has claimed on Sunday.

The Brazilian-born ace is one of Serie A’s most respected attackers and he’s recently been associated with a switch to Milan at the end of the season.

His agent has confirmed that numerous sides are monitoring him even though the attacker, who is still trying to rediscover his best form after he ruptured knee ligaments in December, is committed to the Rosanero cause.

“Milan are not the only side who are chasing him as there are also two other important European clubs who are interested,” Mariano Grimaldi noted.

“It is also true that I will be in Milan over the next few days, but let me be clear about this – Palermo come first for the player right now.

“We have a good relationship with President Maurizio Zamparini and if the club find themselves in the Champions League next season then there will be no problem in continuing the rapport.”

Amauri, who could soon be eligible to play for the Italian national side, joined the outfit from Chievo Verona in 2006 after agreeing a five-year deal.

However, Zamparini himself has recently admitted that he may find it tough to keep hold of the player at the end of the season.

Spanish giants Barcelona, who were already keen on him while he was with the Flying Donkeys, are still believed to be after his capture.

as much as i like amauri, he can tend to be inconsistent, but still manages to score. On a big club like milan or any top team, i dont think he can succeed, but thats my oppinion, you never know.

well amuri coming to milan is exactly like suazo coming to inter, because milan has alot of bigger players example: ronaldo, inzaghi, amauri wont play as much, which will make him more inconsistent, but just an opinion.

3 subjects to talk about:


1) Banega
Does anyone know what is going on with Banega? I read an article from an unreliable source saying that there's something going on with him and his team. Any Argentinians have any opinion on this?

2) Gourcuff
Im sure the majority of you have recently read his comments in the media talking about how he has little playing time this year and how he expected more. Tuttosport (unreliable source) has stated that Simic and Gourcuff are unhappy and want a January exit. Ofcourse I do not believe that, but I believe that that will eventually happen if Carlo choses not to field him more often. Im afraid Gourcuff did not turn out to be the buy we expected him to be and may just another average player with alot of potential that failed to make it at the big stage. What is your take on this?

3) Ronaldinho
Ronaldinho's exit from Barca seems closer and closer. I think he will leave in June, and what I fear is Milan will be saving up to get him. I worry that this may be the reason for our lack of activity in the previous market, and possibly the winter market too. I hope not, I would take 3 squad players that can be bought using 1/4 of the money that will be needed for Dinho any day. We dont need him, we need an Eto'o, a Sheva, a Ronaldo. Also need an attacking player like Ronaldinho to play on either side of the midfield but some one much more cheaper, someone like Van der Vaart, Robben, Robinho, Rosina.

i am no argentenian but i heard about banega moving for a bigger club in europe but the more important fact is that real madrid owns 50% of his contract

"During" the Croatia-Isreal game Simic gave an interwiew in which he said that there is no point for him to stay in Milan as he needs to play so he has his playce in EURO with Croatia, he wants to be in top shape for that. Also, one of the Craotia NT players said that Simic wants to leave and that he will in january... we'll see.

Rothen scored for Fance !!
