Drogba is an amazing striker, a different league than Gilardino and today's Inzaghi.

Thanks for correcting that for me. I only know the freekick wasnt converted into a goal. But I hope you get my point in here.

slifersd, the patience I was actually referring to, is ours....as opposed to management's.

We were not patient in getting Flamini...we struck when we had to....

As fans, at times we tend to forget how involved and protracted negotiations for players can be...so we need to not panic until the window starts to close...remember Gila's signing a couple seasons ago? Down to the last hour I believe!!

So I am not worried about any movements, or apparent lack thereof at present....the newspapers have to make something(s) up to keep the readers buying...so rumors and speculation will abound.

On the yes Drogba, no Drogba issue...I am beginning to believe that if he were to come, that he would be useful...after all...his goals were a big reason for Chelski's cup winning exploits over his tenure at Stamford Bridge.

His arrival may preclude R10's aquisition though, because I am not sure that we can "afford" both...and to be honest, I still prefer R10.

u have it wrong, sorry if i want clear enough, Ba is the one worse than Dida

the basis i made it off was
Well Dida fell out of the roster after the inter loss in december, and never made a re-appearance and b4 arsenal when Kalac picked up an injury, milan was looking to Fiori, instead of Dida, while Brocchi is still a player in rotation, as he is first midfield choice of the bench.

because there is no real way, that i could come up with to compare a outfield player and a keeper.

During a TV show, catalan journalist Cristina Cubero has declared to be sure that Ronaldinho and Gianluca Zambrotta will move to AC Milan for about 26 million Euros; the journalist, who is also a good friend of Ronaldinho, is sure that Silvio Berlusconi has declared his will to renounce to the brazilian star just to low his price.

Source please payne...

From Goal.com, Brida said we are out of the Drogba race and he believes Drogba is going to stay with the Blues. In my mind made sense esp if the Blues win one or two trophies. However, if the Blues loses them both then I think Drogba might leave.

Im glad milan signed someone so soon, and also a quality player like Flamini.. Drogba is at his prime now, hes going into his 30's soon .. He'll still be useful but I think a much better buy would be that of either Eto'o,Adabeyor(sorry not sure on the spelling), or my always top choice Ronaldinho. A dream summer mercato would be buying Adabeyor,R10,Mexes and Frey. I know you all probably think im just throwing around big names but I'm not, we need players like this to get back to our cup winning ways next year..

Eto'o gets injured much more often than Drogba. And just remember that Premier League is much more difficult for a striker than La Liga.

Adebayor had just once good season, yes he seems to be great this year but can also turn to be a bust as well.

About Ronaldinho, i also believe his is coming to Milan sooner or later this summer. Berlu is just playing hide and seek with Laporta so he wont overpay for R10.

I don't think Drogba will stay, he's been unhappy at Chelsea for a while and has publicly said so but has honoured his contract thus far. I don't believe it's a matter if they win trophies or not, but whether Mourinho calls on him.

AC Milan remain in Barcelona talks for Ronaldinho


AC Milan remain locked in talks with Barcelona for Ronaldinho and fullback Gianluca Zambrotta.


Rondo says Milan are confident of landing the pair for around £18 million, despite reports of Barca slapping a £30 million price-tag on Ronaldinho alone.

Barcelona journalist Cristina Cubero, a close friend of Ronie's, reported last night that there was no doubt over the prospect of both the Brazilian and Zambrotta pulling on Milan shirts next season.

Comments made by Milan powerbrokers Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani that their pursuit of Ronaldinho was over are being viewed simply as a bargaining tool to convince Barca to drop their asking price.

Of course we are still in talks with THE MOST TALČENTED PLAYER IN THE WORLD!!!!! And one of the BEST FULLBACKS in the world... The fact that Rijkaard is a horrible coach and that Ronaldinho has been living like a Holywood star for past season doesnt change those facts...

A reporter that spread the news that Braida meet with Drogba's agent said that Milan plan to sign Ronaldindo AND Drogba. It is not impossible and I dont see any reason why Milan wouldnt do that. We are AC Milan after all. If Madrid, Barcelona, Inter can do such moves, so can Berlusconi...


Anyway, latest news say Gatuso could to off to Munchen and Sagnol to Milan is that deal... We could really loose Rino, I hope he will stay in the end! Stay Rino!

I don't think Drogba will stay at chelsea but anyway we have other players on the market young players like Huntelar or Gomez

Newspapers are full of rumours for us today, mainly about Zambrotta & Sagnol but also Zapata which is good. Also rumours about Frey, Ronaldinho and possibly something about Aquilani though i might have interpreted that wrong.

I am a afraid that we could lose Rino in swop deal for Chelsea striker Drogba (we know Gattuso desire to play in Premier League but i hope he stays rosonero, and with Gattuso Pirlo Ambrosini Flamini and maybe Cigarini or Hernanes we would be great in defensive midfielder
