Summer Mercato

you know of the starting Eleven of Milan, with the exception of the GK, Gattuso is the next in my mind to be expandable. Thus, if he wants to leave, then sell him to the highest bidder as it is not hard to find someone to replace the aging pitbull. I remember when Vogel was here, a lot of us all wanted to see Vogel instead of Gattuso in the starting 11, so let him go.
Lets sign players like Flamini, or to recall Donati or Dalla Bona or any other players that are willing to run around and chase down lose balls. I heard Diarra is available too.

Anyhow, Vargas is the guy that I really want we to sign, and I am still surprise that we have not been link with him since we are pretty much linked with everybody else.
Thats what makes me think Brida might be working in secret to sign him, I hope.

Vargas rules.

Just a follow up, you also need to understand there this is also a business, player Must go, and then some new one come in, we as fans may not always get what we want, but a times some transfers whether an sale or a buy can be a blessing in disguise as stated above in an earlier post.

With Flamini you get a young athletic DM, who hasnt even reached his prime, and yet is high rated throughout europe, and we are getting him for free, and though we do have a cluster i will admit @ DM, i think its great, but some of you just do see him being useful, saying he will never be what gattuso is to milan, I admit he wont be what gattuso is to milan, he will be Flamini.

And with Flamini, it makes it alot easier to let go of Gattuso, because as i said b4, and some others also, if he doesnt want to stay, he doesnt have to stay, dont force him, and as someone else said, we wold get a good amount for him, that could elp finance a big deal.

That is my taught on it too, as we the fans may ot know everything being discussed by team officials, and i hope vargas to milan, is one that just hasnt hit the media. He would be a great addition.

Gila agent invites offers Saturday 3 May, 2008

Alberto Gilardino’s agent admits he is likely to leave Milan at the end of the season. “We’ll evaluate every proposal.”
The former Parma striker moved to San Siro for £17m in the summer of 2005, but has not lived up to expectations.
“The lad has decided to only face this issue at the end of the season,” explained agent Francesco Romano on Radio Kiss Kiss.
“Together we will evaluate every proposal that comes in. Obviously Alberto is bitter at the fact he can’t find space in the side and clearly if Ronaldinho, Andriy Shevchenko and Marco Borriello were to arrive then it would all be up for debate again.
“Talking about his position now is premature, especially as at this moment Milan have not signed anyone yet.”
He scored 17 goals in 34 games the first term and 12 goals in 30 the next, but this season has just seven from 30 Serie A appearances.
Increasingly pushed aside by Alexandre Pato and the revival of Pippo Inzaghi’s form, Gilardino also has a fractious rapport with the Milan fans.
Gila has made just one appearance in the last month, as a substitute in the 3-2 defeat at Juventus, and has not scored since January 30.
There were reports that he would be included in an exchange deal with Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey.
It would reunite the striker with Cesare Prandelli, who was his Coach during their time together at Parma.

i was hoping that he could be one of those glory names at Milan when he was arriving at the 1st time from Parma. but i think now it's better to let him go. it'll be good for Milan and also Gila if he aims for another Azzurri calls for him.

If Rino does go I wonder whether we'd push for Diarra and Flamini in the summer. Ancelotti has stated quite clearly that he's a fan of both (and Diarra he said of his own will, I don't think anyone asked him about the player), and they naturally seem like long term replacements for Rino and Ambro in the midfield. For Rino we can command a pretty high transfer fee and a massive salary is off our wage bill, so the funds from that can possibly go towards Diarra.

Gila I think is almost certain to be sold and his replacement will be the new striker.

i think selling gattusso and getting diarra will theoratically improve our style of play ..
give us more depth in the midfeild and diarra is agood passer and shooter of the ball ..
it would also allow pirlo to push more forward in his CM role without fear and diarra along with flamini and ambro as a sub will deal with the defence ... threatening the goal themselves on occasions ... however this works when you play winning eleven or fifa ... but in the real life gattuso's spirit sometimes boosts our players morale and reflects on the results ... cum'on guys i heard kaka saying he would like to play in real or arsenal WHEN he leaves ... but will we sell him ? no we won't ... i remember this christmas holiday gennaro didn't leave the club and trained very hard because he was coming back from an injury and the teams results weren't fine ... let's just keep him for another season ( or 2 .. i am quite sure that's what will happen) and then next summer i am sure we will have even better options than diarra ...

Some snippets of news:

We haven't made any bid for Alex Silva or Hernanes.
Adebayor's agent is vague about interest from clubs and there's speculation that a £17 million bid will be enough for the player.
Gattuso says if he was in charge of our transfers he'd get Toni.

While Toni is playing great, i still think Adebayor would be best for our future.

On the GK front, i personally think we should let both Dida & Kalac go and try for Frey & Schwarzer. The latter is available on a free transfer and is a great keeper. And no, i'm not just saying this because Juve are said to be after him as a backup to Buffon, i had this idea a while back.

oh! come on jim toni is on fire he will score us a couple of dozens and assist pato to a couple too and he has 2 top form years infront of him and even though adeba is for the future ... getting 2 stars from arsenal will start a rivaly we don't need ... right?shwarzer is a veeeeeeeeeery bad keeeper ... he can't catch abd he is shi* when it comes to airy chalenges ... his flop against japan in the world cup and numerous goals inthe premiere league like one robby keane scored last year after mido's assist are whitnesses of his weak abilities this year he conceded 35 goals with a defence line of young huth weater pogatetz and sometimes woodgate !!!!! ... he is a non-euro ... in addition he is 36 years old ... fiori is not far from that ...!!!!

What do you think, would Milan get Flamini and Diarra (or Diarra's calibre/price) if Gattuso left Milan?

I've reaad that Berlu want an 18-players team for next season which means to me that we have less or the same quality like the first team for backups in every position.

Esclusivo: Flamini, c'è la firma col Milan. Al francese 5,6 mln netti a stagione

Dopo tanti dubbi, il futuro di Mathieu Flamini è ora una certezza. Il centrocampista francese dell'Arsenal, secondo quanto appreso da calciomercato.com ha scelto il Milan ed ha firmato con il club di via Turati un contratto quinquennale da 5,6 mln netti a stagione. Il Milan beffa così la Juventus che nelle scrose settimane aveva conteso ai rossoneri il 24enne dei gunners

And this is end I think....Flamini is new Milanista for 5,6 mil per season

from all the rumours we've received on Flamini, this is one where I could take a bit more seriously than the others but still, remember what happened with Suazo? even the acmilan.com website said he was a Milan player!

Diarra is gold. I agree with Carlo he is one of the best midfielders in the world and I always was craving the thought of having him.. however he will take the Non-EU spot which means he will not come if Sheva comes. I think Sheva's arrival is more important but having Diarra in the lineup .. I guess I'm just like Uncle Silvio, I'm a romantic

Dinho's rumours are getting colder but I still think at the end of the day we will sign him. I'm ok with the splashing its just that as long we dont lose sight on other important objectives (Vargas, Alex, Zapata, Alves those are 4 defenders for every spot in defence that could significantly improve quality). I still think though we need an attacking creative midfielder other than Ronaldinho.. I am not too fond with Seedorf's consistency, Kaka also isnt the most consistent player in the world, and Dinho is still a question mark. Gourcuff seems like he is going to grow and reach his peak very late in his career.

5.6 mil per season!!! Thats a lot of money! I don't know if he deserves so much per season.

I think the real sum is around 4 millions per season.

Like I said on another topic, that would make him our 2nd most paid player !!
But I think it's what we're going to have to do if we want players without playing CL (paying a lot) ... so let's go to the next CL !! lol

I'm very much speculating, and I wouldn't be confident that we'd get 2 great DM's, simply because we have to invest a lot in other areas.

Diarra is just a little bit of a dream really.

I think an 18 man squad is way too small. 23-24 is the size I can see us realistically aiming for (currently it's 29).
