Winter Mercato

I think you mean Dessena...

I think this winter market is the worst market we have ever witnessed - no rumours no action no suspense nothing! All we have on our minds is Pato. Braida and co owe us a nice surprise signing from a long time now, this is the right time to pull it off, no one is expecting it.

That says how reliable the article is because Andrea Dossena plays for Udinese and plays as a fullback.
Daniele Dessena plays for Parma.

That could be right Tony29. They could also mistype the name, position or the club's name or they did it because of any other reason(s).
Actually I don't care that much about the reliability of the content in that news, I only wanted to know who this player is because I haven't heard his name before.

If they mention Dessena from Parma, in which position in midfield does he play? How about Andrea Dossena? Is he pure fullback (which position) or does he also play in central defence?

And the last, what do you think about those players, Tony29? How do you rate them?

Daniele Dessena plays for Parma, Andrea Dossena plays for Udinese.I think channel4 made a mistake.

Sorry, didnt see Tony's post. My bad...

Dessena is a midfielder.

As for the Maldini discussion & nine players. It was Gayliani who said we have 9 players at other Serie A clubs, but if he thinks any are WC, then we in for a whole world of hurt over the summer again.

i rather see parma's dessena then the other guy

I don't know if this has been posted, but Berlu has said that he is sure that Zambrotta will be a Milan player:

Calcio, Berlusconi: "Milan vicino a Zambrotta"
Indice Ultim'ora

MILANO - Il Milan e' vicino all'ingaggio di Gianluca Zambrotta. Non e' una voce di mercato qualsiasi, dato che a darne l'annuncio e' stato il presidente rossonero Silvio Berlusconi in persona, al microfono di Sky, prima di Milan-Napoli: "Zambrotta avrebbe piacere di venire al Milan e credo che non avremo difficolta' a trovare un accordo con il Barcellona" sono state le parole del 'presidentissimo'. Berlusconi, che ha anche promesso ai tifosi milanisti il massimo impegno per ripetere un ventennio vincente come l'ultimo, si e' soffermato sul tridente brasiliano del Milan: "Pato, Ronaldo e Kaka' insieme dovrebbero farci sognare" ha detto raggiante. In particolare per quanto riguarda il giovane Pato, Berlusconi si e' detto sicuro che sia "un altro Kaka', umile e rispettoso. Se fara' vedere a San Siro il 50 per cento di quello che fa in allenamento sara' uno spettacolo" ha concluso. (Agr)

Reliable source. This guy has a lot of contacts with agents and people close to the club.

He gave Frey as first choice for the keeper spot, and Helton (Porto) as second.

I'm not used to quote myself, but in Italy we had this news about Zambrotta coming in June since the days before Christmas.


Ronaldinho will go to Chelsea (source Ernesto Bronzetti ). Berlu said that signing Dinho would have ruined some relationships and balances inside the dressing room. With Pato inside we don't need him anymore.

Exactly. The 23rd of November 2007 Zambrotta's agent and advisers (consiglieri) attended a meeting at Via Turati, where they agreed on all the personal terms and conditions. So now we need to negotiate with Barcelona for a reasonable price.


Here is the news about Ronaldinho and Chelsea:

Nel corso di un collegamento in diretta con il presidente rossonero Silvio Berlusconi, l'agente Fifa Ernesto Bronzetti si è lasciato sfuggire che, secondo sue fonti attendibilissime, Ronaldinho avrebbe trovato un accordo per trasferirsi al Chelsea già dalla prossima stagione. Il presidente rossonero ha commentato dicendo: "Non ne sono affatto dispiaciuto, tante volte sono più importanti gli equilibri all'interno dello spogliatoio rispetto all'arrivo di un campione in più". Che i consigli di Kakà abbiano lasciato il segno?

I don't know...Seedorf is not happy to play midfield again..every top player inside unbalance the team spirit... I would add Benzema just in case Ronaldo is a total failure with us over the next 6 months.
