Anyway, Marseille allows him to leave for 15M € (they made him signing a new contract to sell him at a higher price, and they fix this price at 15M lol, forza French clubs !! lmao), and he won't go for sure in Lyon, the 2 clubs hate each other and Marseille already refused to sell Drogba and Ribéry to Lyon these last few years !! lol

Nasri is cheap compare to other so called star players. I would love Nasri to play for Milan. I dont think Lyon need Nasri, they have Ederson, Juninho , and almost Pjanic.

I love the fact the Pjanic may be playing for Lyon next year. This is great news for us Bosnians, becauce Pjanic will be playing for Bosnian national team in the future.

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

You seem pretty sure we'll buy Lloris. Isn't Lloris so far just a rumour just like 50 other players out there...?

These news are excellent, maybe Gourcuff will play some good football again in some French club and Milan will watch out for him. Lloris is also an ok move judging at his age, I have never seen him play dough, aldough I saw one half of him for France NT. Nothing much happened, he had one good cross catch.

Nasri for 15 mln is more then ok price for a player of his potential,and that player has a LOT of potential to play the role Seedorf plays now. I wouldnt mind havintg him. But of course we cant have all the players " You cant always get what you want..."

I have to tell you something: since I have seen Buffon (the first time was ... umh in 1999 or 2000 I think), I never was impressed anymore by any other goalkeeper.

It's why I say that, I don't know, I don't feel any current young goalkeeper will be the next big thing, the next Buffon or even better (who knows), but I will perhaps be surprise someday, I hope with Lloris ...

Arildonardo, actually, Lloris was in Milan 2 days ago I think, in Milanello and had a meeting with Braida ... all French websites were sending him to Lyon (grrrr Lyon Lyon Lyon, always Lyon in France lol) or Arsenal, and it's weird, since 1-2 days, French websites (the ones which reported our interest for Lloris some months ago, around December) say we found an agreement with Nice and the player ... so ... I'm confident !!

For Nasri, I don't like him, but yeah, Marseille sells him cheaply, all my friends who support Marseille are mad since they know that !!

Reports were about Inter buying him for 25M € or Madrid for 30M €, and Marseille announced he will be available for 15M €, it's quite stupid, I don't understand ...

Anyway, we're not linked at all with him.
But like our management seems to work secretly for the next season, who knows ?
Gourcuff (loan) + Simic (given) + 5M € would be enough to get Nasri, Marseille needs these players.

I'm quoting that because, actually, it's why this forum is wonderful, there are people from all other the world, so we know everybody !!

There are plenty players I even didn't know their names or more, I didn't know they were playing football somewhere in the world lol, and thanks to this forum, we know them and maybe know who are going to be the next big football stars in world !!

guys i dont understand why we are looking abroad for everything...what happened to amelia!!!!!! livorno is relegated he would be cheap and is an excellent keeper he is next in line behind buffon for the italian NT..any way or news we can get him? i know early we were linked with him but that was long ago and ever since than no rumors..

Ok lets tackle the questions one at a time shall we?

Then this will reviel many sides to the Milan Underworld... is every one with Carlo?

That I think is open to conjecture, even if:
a) He has himself said he will be there next season
b) Berlu and Galliani have also said it...

Why then is it still undecided? Because of several factors including:

a) The still undecided 4th place finish and
b) Donandoni and the Azzuri´s performance in the Euros

I think if Carlo remains next term we then have to see who in fact does arrive. Flamini´s arrival I am sure is some evidence that they do have faith in Carlo, and that Carlo is going to be there next term...

He has managed some of the biggest names in the world of football...from Zidane to Kaka...I dont think this is an issue yuzzimi?

If Berlu wanted Carlo out, he would be gone from the loss to Napoli, or from even earlier in the season. IMO Berlu considers the major objectives for this season met: European Super Cup and World Club Cup. I think as far as anything else is concerned, thats just "brawta" [gravy...or maybe icing for those non patois speakers]for Uncle Berlu.

Memba Berlu dont ramp fi fire managers who he dislikes, or considers underperforming, or both. Just ask Terim...who Ancelotti replaced, or Zaccaroni..aka Zaccerphony...who lasted an unbelievable 2 seasons, and I believe was replaced by Terim after Maldini´s dad did a short "interim manager" stint inbetween.

The long and short of it: There are no machinations going on IMO...Milan cannot be compared with Madrid, Barca, Inter or other clubs where there are always plots afoot, and power struggles going on...and great uncertainty.

In the fiefdom that is Milan, Berlu is all supreme, and rules with an iron fist in a velvet glove. Berlu has simply not spent much on the team, and has had mixed results from that...

There is no question that he understands that reinforcements are needed now, but he isnt at the Abramovitch stage of his career..where he thinks he has to spend 100M pounds every season to keep the side competitive.

He has seen Alex Ferg at Man U, and has stated publicly that he wants Carlo, or some other exMilan player to do something similar.

We will buy, but we will buy smart...and I think Carlo will stay, and R10, prob Drogba, Zambrotta, the French goalie mentioned, or Gomes, and a few other players will arrive, and we all pretty much know who will be going, either on loan, or to be sold.

zeen?

I like amelia, earlier on somewhere prolly on a page in the teens, i used to ask the same question, and i think amelia is a good keeper (i think italy produces the best keepers Toldo, Buffon for eg.), but he just isnt linked with us. To me as long as we get a good keeper, the i am OK. and i like Lloris, he has alot of upside to him, and he is only 21, he could be @ Milan for a possible 14 - 18 yrs.

THIS IS OFFICIAL NEWS

Interesting purchases for the german of Hertha Berlin, that have engaged Kaka, the brazilian has been paid 2 million euros and will dress the new jersey for the next three years.

Kaka above is a central defender of 'Academica Coimbra, not our Kaka.

Next week AC Milan will offer 25 million Euros to Barcelona for Ronaldinho; this news item, reported by Diario Sport and Ona FM, confirms TMW's and Sportitalia's thesis that substained that the negotiation for the brazilian star was going to be carried out during the Champions League final's week. The spanish medias also confirmed that Ronaldinho will accept only a transfer to Milan, and will refuse any other offer including Manchester City's.

For the forward department I would love Drogba, but it will be difficult to get him.

I think we will end up with Borriello and maybe Amauri (especially if talks with Juve break down completely). I still think our main striker purchase will be Sheva.

Our acquisitions, IMO, will be: Amelia/Lloris/Frey, Zambrotta, Borriello, Sheva and Ronaldinho.

I still think we will get Dinho.

I really dont think Amauri, is the best option, i prefer Benzema, eto, and hard for me to say but even Drogba

I agree wid u dere payne, aldough I think he has youth in his favor...and probably price

Hard to turn up ur nose at any of them still...
