Summer Mercato

Goal.com shows Amauri as a Juventus signing. I'm not upset about that at all...

Congratulation to Juve he is a great player.

Im sure the reason for Rino to stay was becouse he was confirmed Galliani will bring in quality players. Rino said it wasnt about the money...

If Juve is now to sell Palladino I would take him right away. Just a thought of mine...

I cant believe this is gonna happen. I dont want Flamini, Hernanes, Diarra or god himself to change Rino, Rino is a simbol and a passionate player todays football lacks.

I liked your reaction when it seemed Gattuso was leaving, earlier this morning. I like this approach. Players aren't objects, that you can substitute like tools or puppets. Their personality is unreplaceable.

Maybe you ignore you touched a very important phylosophical issue: the unfungibility of the human nature. The modernity is bringing us towards an economicistic conception of human beings, like they are objects on a market. Players aren't fungible. You can't replace Gattuso with Diarra, because you can't replace the guts Rino put in every match.

Good post!

Again Galliani came out to say that we are BUYING 7-8 players he did not say we are recalling from loan or anything he said buying. i believe we are having a very hot summer, Gattuso didn't go because i guess he got what he wanted ... a real squad whose able to compete. from my point of view i dont wanna see milan participating i want to see them contending i dont care if we win or loose but at least show us milan dont show us atlanta , sampdoria , fiorentina even inter... i wanna see the real milan breaking the hearts of opponent's fans. Gilliani said we need 7-8 players to break the gap with inter ... our management finally thinking of scudetto as a primary objective for. Kaka and gattuso must be working hard to convience the management that we need a full squad and it seems they've got it .... i now expect milan to keep the friendly enviroment and also to hit with a fist of steel, i want to see our coach caring about his post and our players caring about their spot, i really wish we mess with other's transfer target as same as they mess with us. i hope we get a target man a man who can handle calcio thugs with the same method they handle him, a mark man who is not affraid crashing on 3 defenders to win the ball or to score ... let us hope this year will leave a psychological impact on the team and management.

I read, I heard from many people that Palladino was going to be the "next big thing" but he didn't confirm this year (Ranieri putting Del Piero instead of him) ... and I didn't see him a lot, so here I go: is he really as good as everybody says ??

PS: It's a question because I don't really know him actually ...

Who is he ?!

Palladino played mostly as a winger this year. But I see him as one of the most talented young Italian players. I dont know why Ranieri didnt play him as a striker, but you cant blame him as Del Piero, Trez and Iaquinta all had brilliant seasons. For me Palladino would be welcomed in Milan any day.

I hope we will choose our players wisely and not be cheap. that doesnt mean we need 5 super stars, we just need to pay if we want quality.

Players like Zapata, Boruc, Zambrotta, Vargas, Drenthe are players that are actually not that expancive for Milan.

Players like Drogba, Ronaldinho, Alves, Mexes, Aquilani are more expansive but...to pay 20 mln for dinho and 30 for Drogba is not impossible and it is worth it.

Our strenght for next season should be midfield consisting of: Pirlo, Flamini, Ambrosini, Gattuso, Ronaldinho, Seedorf, KAka'.

Still, the fullback issue stays open and I expect even Oddo to be out -and rightly so. Sagnol promotes himself as cheep and ok soluiton for a long scudetto hunt.

I will writhe down the squad we need and Giovanni you print it and send it to Milanello please Or go there by car...

GK: Boruc, Abbiatti, Fiori
DEFENDERS: Bonera, Sagnol, Darmiani, Nesta, Kaladze, Maldini, Zapata, Zambrotta, Favalli, Jankulovski
MIDFIELDERS: Pirlo, Ambrosini, Gattuso, Flamini, Emerson, Seedorf, KAka', Ronaldinho
FORWARDS: Inzaghi, Pato, Drogba, Palladino

Skurhavy used to be genoa's hitman from 90 to 96, winning silver boot in 1990 world cup, 193 ... simply a beast. if you know Jancker the german striker same body but long hair and really a beast

I underlined the guys who could be replaced:
- Boruc => Lloris ... cheaper, but probably as good if not better (and younger !!)
- Sagnol ... I definately don't think he could be a good player for us, we should have taken Zaccardo but he goes to Wolsburg. And even if Sagnol comes, we need Oddo for the bench, Sagnol can be injured again.

Emerson or Brocchi, it's same for me ... but Emerson is paid more and never came back to a decent physical condition this year, so ... bye Emerson.

I would add Montolivo for midfield, I won't change my mind with this player, he deserves to play with us lol !!

Mrki Palladino indeed is a fantastic player already i really would love to see him at milan
i really believe we should be working on a proper right back, left back and a Goalie that the most position we need to spend on.

Boruc is a proven goal keeper in champions league but he is somehow injury prone, its more safe to sign him instead of lloris but lloris has showed a great potenial woth risking.

milan should do the impossible to sign vargas, this guy is a world class player soon enough we will all see this. zambrotta is a good choice for the next 4 years, so to be wise we should get zambrotta and not dani alves, i know dani alves is the best right back/ right midfielder out there but zambrotta is a class too

we are desperate to sign a striker we should really try to get toni ... this guy is a machine and he is italian ... i would love to see drogba wearing our jersey but drogba really has a problem with his attitude, he is not a professional he is a cry baby he wants to do everything him self even the throws . so an alternative to toni i think we should go for Mario gomez he aint one season wonder he is scoring 20+ each season and he is only 23 we can use his figure in our formation and he runs and has a nice team work rate.

BIG DEAL

At the risk of sounding devoid of all emotion/team spirit this is merely a good thing...NOT a great thing.

1) Gattuso is getting up there

2) He isn't technically sound...but he IS overrated.....we could have sold him to some club like ManU or Bayern to get the funds to get things that we DO need like A LEFT BACK OR A POWERFUL STRIKER

3) I'm sure Flamini feels wonderful about this.....unless he is the default choice for Left Back he'll have to fight with Pirlo, Brocchi, Emerson, Gattuso AND AMBRO for a starting spot.....great job Milan Management If Carlo's "Pirlo must play until his blood runs into water" policy continues the options are even more scary because Ambro may well be our next captain.....meaning that he'll have to fight it out for ONE available spor or else Carlo plays the fans favourite 3-DM's in the formation

4) I want to address the issue of Gattuso's intangible contributions like to team spirit, morale etc etc Sure it might impress us when we see him getting all fired up for battle behind our TV sets....but let's be serious how much of an effect do you really think THAT has on the performances of world class players like Nesta,Kaka, Seedorf, Ronaldo? Do you think he keeps us together the way Maldini does?? And if they are playing **** isn't it better to have another PERFORMER to take up some of the slack? I am NOT underestimating it don't get me wrong, but heart and spirit only take you so far these days. This is top flight Italian football not "the little engine that could"

5)Wild is RIGHT. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GATTUSO'S BEHAVIOUS AND SEHVA's. Coming to think of it Sheva's was more excusable since your family comes first all the time. He b!tched about Istanbul and he is weeping about this season.....
