Summer Mercato

good post Zafrul... wonder why I don't read you more...

Henry is CRAP......many players with pace and with a decent amount of talent would look godlike in the Epl. Carlo thought he was rubbish at Juve and I can't see him changing his mind now that Henry is older.

Aguero/Gomez are what we should be looking at....Players with a FUTURE...not be nostalgic for some past hotshot...That would be like yours truly chasing down Liz Taylor for her performances in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof when Jessica Alba has been calling him all day

Unless Jessica Alba (or Henry) was like 8 months pregnant...

You need to realise that ac milan plays for the passion of its supporters, or San Siro curva and fans of ac Milan in general. Bringing back Sheva would be an insult to all milan fans. Curva sayd itself that they dont want Sheva back. Mialns curva never said such things about any player milan bought...they even supported Grimi!! But Sheva is a TRAITOR!! Be true people and open your eyes and see that he left Milan for russian money and his friend Abramovic ( when we were almost in serie b!! )when whole Milano was begging him to stay and Galliani and Berlusconi also. TRAITOR, and we dont need him, or people like him.

Anyway, Berbatov would be great if we sign Dinho, then Pato could play smaller ammount of games, as well as Seedorf. And that is of HUGE significance! For Pato to grow normally and for Seedorf to play smaller ammount of matches but at the higher tempo.

Actually, there is a good thing and a bad thing with Ronaldinho possibly coming to Milan:
- We would have Kaka', Ronaldinho and Seedorf, so in the Christmas Tree system, if we get an injury, we would have a good player as a replacement (for example: Kaka' gets an injury, not a problem, Seedorf on the pitch with Ronaldinho, etc)
- Brazil would become much too strong !! If Pato, Kaka' and Ronaldinho learn to play together, Brazil will be a destructive team if you add guys like Robinho around them or others !! Noooooo !! lol

I think it's bcoz of the 'gf factor'... don't have much time when she's around... now we're fighting, and i'm free as a bird!!!

and guess where i spend my free time... on the milanmania forums...

I just think that if dinho comes,mos t likely we woul have to give up on Top Class Striker(a big one as mrki wants ). As i simply dont see milan playing with KAKA, Dinho,PAto and ?? Striker?? ----- Pato is not that good in lone striker position, and also I dont see him being benched

Well, like i said, i know Sheva would be a hugely unpopular choice... but there's a difference between Curva not wanting him than the team or players not wanting him... just like when i read that players didn't want Cassano... but players are saying yes to sheva with open arms... I would think that the Curva would slowly start to forgive him if Sheva scores 2 goals when we are 0-1 down to inter or juve... or we are 5 mins from CL elimination and he comes up with the winner...

Sheva is like a super-hot ex-gf, broke up 2 years ago... it took a while to get over it just bcoz she was super-hot... but it's been 2 years, we've moved on and have a new super-hot 'Pato' gf... and if sheva wants to come back cheap as a 'playmate'... i say, why not...

GREAT POST!!! Agree 100%

>Amelia/ Abbiati : i think Amelia would be the best player with the best price available. Livorno would want 8 M at best. Forget Frey, he's overrated. People likes him because the name sounds more exotic. Abbiati would be the cheapest and most reliable solution, leaving the big moneys to be invested elsewhere.

>Zambrotta : done deal.

>Marzoratti : he's coming back home.

>Darmian: he'll get into the first team.

>Mexes : is he the young top centre back ? Only God knows..

>Flamini : fingers crossed. We need him desperately.

>Ronaldinho : the question is if he'd be able to get our side any further and better. The answer is YES. I hope he doesn't come as a lazy ass here. Anyway, he was a movida lover even at PSG and in his first seasons. He never trained more than 2-3 days per week even in his best seasons. I think one or two bad seasons shouldn't fool us. The player is top quality and now the price is around 20 M. He would pay off just in terms of revenue, prestige, tv rights and tshirts sold. I think Berlusconi wants to fullfil a dream of his: he wasn't able to sign Maradona and wants to sing the closest thing to Diego in terms of show and skills the modern football has produced.

/Berbatov: we ain't going to sign a player coming from EPL (except in case of free agents like Flamini) because the difference in terms of target price level is too high between Italy and England nowadays.

>Shevchenko : i think he's a done deal. If we'll invest big moneys, then we'll get other players on the cheap. I still prefer Shevchenko than Gilardino any day. I think he paid his due for his betrayal. Now he can come back home and eat humble pie, starting from the bench. Shevchenko didn't suffer from major injuries: he can be put into shape again. There's an interesting rumour about Sheva: it is said he's doing nothing at Chelsea this year since he asked Berlusconi to come back and Berlusconi replied : "Just if you come almost for free". Then Sheva didn't make an effort to get into decent form to make his price tag low and convince Abramovich to release him for free.


TOTAL: 60 M (price tags)

"Henry is crap" from 2 posters ... wow, that really is intelligent input

I would not be surprised if our mercato consisted of these players:

Amelia/Abbiati, Zambrotta, Lell, Alex Silva, Flamini, Schweinstieger, Ronaldinho, Shevchenko.

As well as the return of some loaned players.

@Giovanni

Where is the other fullback? Only Zambrotta? I think, one of our biggest problem is that we have no decent fullbacks

@Jim

Lell is a fullback? Or? How is his quality?

Giovanni,

do you know if Galliani went to Barcelona today (as how that expert predicted)? I honestly dont think we have any done deals yet, not even Zambrotta and especially not Sheva. I would love Sheva back but if there were other better players that are worth the Non-EU spot (only Aguero) then I would chose Aguero.

Marzoratti coming back is a big possibility especially cuz of the new regulations of UEFA, but I certainly dont want to see Darmian coming here as a starter, not in the next 3 years at least. We need a world-class CB (Mexes, Juan, Cannavaro, Zapata(?), Gamberini) to partner Nesta, but to tell you the truth I dont think we need to look far as we have Bonera, everytime he played in CB he was CLASS. I just dont wanna see Kaladze in the starting 11 any more.

zafrul very nice post about Gattuso/Pirlo..that is kind of the same reason why I want Lippi here, he knows how to get the best out of his players.

You know Jim, except Arsenal fans (actually I'm not sure) and French people who only watch national team matches, everybody or almost is ok to say that Henry is no more the excellent striker he was some years ago ...

He can't be a solution for us: look at his season in a club who always attacks ... how could he be able to help us the way he plays ? We won't change our system because of new players, it is new players who will have to adapt to our system, and Henry isn't a good target (anyway, nothing links him to us, fortunately).

Actually, I never thought Bonera would be good, I don't think he did so good this year, but he is not a starter, and when you look at what a guy like Simic does in the team when he had his chance (whereas he has more experience and more years in Milan), then we can say that Bonera did well ...
I would actually like to see him being a starter for 3-4 matchs to see if he can be our "next recruie" for CB.

And after his last declaration (the first one I ever read from him lol), I think he will be more important for us next year ...

Forget Cannavaro, he isn't the very good Cannavaro we all knew and I personnally admired since World Cup 2006 and when he went to Madrid, I'm unable to recognize him (mistakes, fouls, etc).
