Summer Mercato

Carlo should get the players he wants, if he fails with this then we can consider a new coach. He wanted Toni and Ribery and look what happened....

Although I wouldn't accept it, I don't think the offer is ridiculous... It's just not good enough.

Ancelloti said no revolution is needed. Only evolution.
That is what the fans want from Milan management.
I think we all agree that we want in our team: goalie, two fullbacks, two central defenders, defensive and attacking midfielders and strikers.
And we want evolution in the team. In other words: development!
And I don't see how players in mid-30 and older can develop, not even mentioning players that reach their maximum.

So, bring the players that can evolute.
Alves, Benzema, Vargas, all fit the description

------------Frey--------
Sagnol-Nesta-Zapata-Zambrotta
----------Pirlo--------
---Gattuso!--Aquilani----
----------Kaka'---------
-----Pato----Drogba-------

Kalac, Bonera, Kaladze, Maldini, Marzoratti, jankulovski, Ambrosini, Flamini, Seedorf, inzaghi, Boriello, Paloschi.

I dreamed this first 11 !!! Let it be!

Yesterday, on a French show on radio, Luis Fernandez (ex-coach from Paris and possibly the next one again lol) asked some questions to Yoann Gourcuff:

- Gourcuff admitted that the club accepted to loan him for the next season

- Luis Fernandez revealed that Hugo Lloris was in Milanello (he is injured on one of his hands, so he is free for this end of season lol) and asked to Gourcuff if he saw him, he didn't want to answer lol ...

Ancelotti's biggest problem isn't that he isn't good with the team but rather his attitude toward the management. This guy has got to be the biggest coward I have ever seen in my life. Every single summer, he doesn't get any of the players he want but he just sits there like a good puppy dog and say the BS management fed him to say. I am not saying he should have an all out war with the management Mourinho style, but having a little backhone certainly wouldnt hurt. For that reason, he should leave and let somebody who can deal with the management the right way take over.

Before I even put what I am going to post, I have to address the post above:

Few owners have an ego as big as Berlu, and any coach, ANY coach who voices that sort of displeasure would be out of a job in a few days after making statements as you indicate slifsrd....c'mon bro....please understand this.

Now for one of the most ridiculous stories thus far re the mercato:

http://www.channel4.com/sport/footba...ia/may15b.html

If ever there was a story channel4 should ignore, it should be this one.

Why would we trade the next symbol of the club, whose idea of a night on the town probably includes one glass of merlot, and bible study, for two party men who skip training more often than a 8yr old girl with a jump rope?

Gosh....the crap has really started already....and we can thank the Spanish "press" for this ridiculous rumor.

As if....

great point warro, i said the same thing many times...

I think that carlo loves his job so much that he is willing to take that crap from berlu and galliani just to stay at milan....

I totally understand him, it's a dream job...once you got it, you do your best to keep it!

And saying that you totally disagree with berlu is a sure way out od milan!

So the problem is not carlo, it's berlu.
If he decides to spend or not to spend big, no one can convince him otherwise. Except Mrs.Berlusconi.

Selling Kaka? HAHA!

The answer is here under....(tgcom)

Milan, porta verde con Lloris
Preso il 21enne portiere del Nizza: addio a Frey

Dopo un monitoraggio durato un anno e mezzo, il Milan ha rotto gli indugi e ha promosso Hugo Lloris: il 21enne portiere del Nizza e della Nazionale Under 21 francese (è nato il giorno di Santo Stefano del 1986) è stato acquistato dalla società rossonera, che sta chiudendo gli ultimi dettagli con il club della Costa Azzurra prima di ufficializzare l'operazione.

Quello del Diavolo è un investimento importante non solo in termini economici (si parla di circa 7 milioni di euro), ma anche in quelli prettamente tecnici: perchè la vera notizia sta nel fatto che Lloris approda al Milan per rimanerci e giocarsi le sue chances con Kalac. Gli osservatori milanisti, dopo averlo più volte visionato, credono seriamente sulle possibilità di questo ragazzo, considerato a furor di tecnici uno dei migliori giovani numero uno europei: quindi, almeno per la prima parte della stagione, Lloris sarà in toto nell'organico rossonero

Tramonta, a questo punto, la possibilità dell'acquisto da parte del club rossonero di Frey: il Milan spera con Lloris di costruirsene uno in casa.

Cool, he's the best goalkeeper of French Ligue 1 with Steve Mandanda from Marseille ... I would put him directly in our goals instead of Kalac !!

Looks good

If indeed Barca wants Kaka, this will be a better swap deal for Milan:
Puyol, Zambrotta, Eto, Deco and Rhino equal to Kaka plus 10 million. All those players wants to leave Barca and I believe Barca will be tempted to accept that swap deal.

gourcuff on loan + 4mil for Lloris would be a great deal.

in the beginning of the video, when he is in the suit he almost looks like sheva.

julsesay, no, you're mad ?! lol
How can you say that ?

Kaka' won't leave, even if a club offers 200M € !!
Kaka', if he stays until the end of his career in Milan, has still, at least, 8-9 good years !!

All the guys you want to swap have
- Puyol: 3-4 good years
- Eto'o: 4-5 good years - injuries
- Deco: 2-3 good years - injuries
- Ronaldinho: 5-6 good years - parties - injuries
- Zambrotta: 2 good years maximum

And they all come from the same club, club that didn't win anything those last 2 years ... In that group, I would only take Puyol (I'm even not sure actually) or Zambrotta (not sure too) with Eto'o. But no way a swap with Kaka' !! lol


With Lloris coming, now we are sure we will have a real goalkeeper lol, we have played without a decent goalkeeper for 3-4 years ... what a change, we won't have to be afraid anymore of taking easy goals everytime !! lol

Flamini (free), Lloris (to confirm officially of course, price will be approximately 7M €), who are next ?
