Winter Mercato

ooops I keep thinking Alves is a LB ( a mistake that I've made many times )
Curse you Fifa 08 !!

Alves would be a luxury atm -unless of course, he could play just as well on the left Quaresma does it all the time....he plays on the right for Porto and on the left for Portugal (because CR7 plays on the right for the NT)

Take out Alves and put in Rathino (who is supposed to be just as highly rated and far less expensive) who's italian granny decided to re-acquaint herself with her brazilian grandson

P.S I know this us supposed to be in the 'dream signings thread' just got carried away

Alves/Rafinha & Oddo for RB
Taiwo & Pasqual for LB

What could be simpler?

I say we rescue Daniel Carvalho from CSKA Mocow...just like how city took Elano and start to show him off...
Daniel has the age, pace & quality...just ask Argentina... He made a monkey out of them in England

We can forget Benzama and Nasri.

Lets just concentrate on Gallas and other players.

How about this...Serginho came to us as one of the best LWF(left wing forwards) in the world..... what did Carlo do? Turn him into one of the best LB's in the world

So now.....stay with me on this one ....Quaresma came to Milan as one of the best LWF in the world ...then Carlo (_________________) I'll leave you to fill in the blanks

But I think Quaresma is too much of a romantic goodlooking boy (read "pretty boy" or even "narcisstic egotistical metro-freak" ) to get down and dirty too often in the defence (I mean we wouldn't want to spoil his hair-do now would we )so if we get him AND a decent LB we'll be cool but as Sergio has showed we could really do with his blistering pace down the left......if only to take a bit of attention of a brazilian or two

I tend to agree with your assessment of Quaresma. Actually, I get the same feeling when I look at Gourcuff, too pretty to get dirty, and always trying to look good with the ball or without, which definatley wouldn't sit well Ancelotti. He looks like a blue collar, get down and dirty kinda guy.

Who knows though we could be totally off on our assessments.

We have been a big club for a long time...but do we show our spending power in the transfer market?

I agree also...we want "SPARTANS"...not fashion models...R10 always fixing headband and pony tails every chance they get...when they shoot wide they figit with their hair and stuff...we want player who are going to pull up their socks and tighten shin-guards...

of course we show our spending power ...like ALL THE TIME It's a trademark of rich people to buy useless stuff or stull that they'll never use and recently we have bought :
vieri, vogel, dhoorasoo, olivera, ba, gorcuff and gila They also throw away things that others would kill for *cough*cough*Crespo*cough

If that's not a show of spending power I don't know what is.....of course sometimes even the richest people can hunt down a bargain like a three time wopy albeit semi-washed up for $6M

Artisans not artists huh? I can understand that, but i think you need a blend of both.

Kaka is an artist, Gattuso is an Artisan. Would you replace the flair of Kaka with the graft of Ambrosini for example?

Lets also not forget both Kaka & Maldini are fashion models, so we can't get rid of them all

Thanks again Jim UK... But i dont see the Cat Walk on the battle field.
However, i dont mind R10 and Quaresma...if they want to come to milan, let them come and play football on the field.

R10 a fashion model tou mean like he's the 'before' model

According to Berlusconi, 25m would be spent in january, I'm hoping he can throw forward a bit more for alves AND quaresma
