Summer Mercato

From what i've seen, i believe there is alot to be done by our management, all i wanna say that its totally up to them to draw a line of success or failure. I wont be debating or arguing with anyone or with my self that we are a winning side and we will hit the top of the table as soon as we start playing, we are into crisis and let us not get carried away by slogans and loyality scream, demanding reinforcements and getting to the level of our own rivals doesnot make us glory hunters or we don't love milan for what they are, on the contrary i am starting to believe that berlu is using milan for his own intrest. Being the most successful president in our club's history doesnot take off any of your responsibilities, if milan doesnt repeat the actions of their success they wont be successful, thats what we are lacking. And let us be honest our management are the less active among europes elite. I will keep on praising our team and our management for the love of our club, but here we all share the same passion, the same thoughts, we all want the best for milan. What bugs me that whenever comes up with a name we keep on telling him/her "stop playing fm2008". This phrase is totally true but we need to address it to our management, investing in emerson proves only 1 thing that we've got no scouts, we have no vision and most of all galliani cant stop play fm, for godsake i just wanna have some good weekends, i dont wanna argue with my wife at the end of each game, making the food the only execuse for having a fight . I cant expect us to win everything next year but i would love to see them trying. I just HOPE one day we have a strong squad, i hope milan stop chasing big names and look for useful and quality players. We cant stop of blaming gourcuff instead of blaming carletto, did the guy play 5 games in a row? Have we show him any confidence? Against AEK athens at sansiro what did he do when he felt wanted? I think if milan paid 20 million for yoan he would be by now the most talented and effective in Serie A. Because he would have been treated differently ! Just wondering. For the next mercato i think we need 5 players. Two full backs who are able to deliver immdiatley a keep who is able to make a save instead of staring at the ball getting away from him. And a striker who can score at any cost. I care less about the names, just want to see our team winning. Back to what lloris has said i think that the kid doesnt wanna get home sick, cant handle pressure, and most important having a spot in his national team. We are obviously going to stick on what we are having so once again expect nothing just a fight with udinese and napoli on the uefa places. Have any one seen Abate ? Does he remind you of our beloved serginho? Hope galliani includes him with our squad.

couldn't agree more, and for the abate part, he will probably (a big doubt) be included in the squad next season but will end up like gourcuff and will be half-sold to some team and will be bought back at immense price like boriello.

opps i'm not being pessimistic, i'm just making fun of what we are doing

It's why I'm really surprised ... whereas it was a big joke and they don't go anywhere ? lol

Well, that's exactly the thing, Lucio and Sagnol didn't leave. Bayern already have a very deep squad and they just don't have the room to take those two in right now. Besides, give them a couple of years in Wolfsburg to see if they can fit in with the German style of play before investing them is a pretty good plan as well. It's not like Bayern has to face any competitions to sign them by then anyway.

I don't have a crystal ball to predict the future, but all I can tell you is that it certainly won't surprise me if we end up signing nobody of purpose again and win nothing again next season. This mercato is shaping up to be exactly like last year's where we see or hear from Galliani's mouth practically every other day about the this and that and yet nobody actually comes through at all. But I guess only time will tell.

Flamini is a very special case because his price tag is 0 whereas every other target we have cost money. Flamini is a very good start but I have yet to see anything on Milan's front to back up their promises. We are continuing to "negotiate" endlessly for God knows how long and then quit trying after learning that we can't sign a world class player for the chump change we offer.

The market has indeed changed since the 90s, but the rules have not. To be a winning team, you have to invest heavily into the team. The only exception to that rule has been Arsenal and they have the best scouts in the world, the best coach at promoting players and they are not a dominant force by any measurement. If Milan still wants to be competitive and stay as a powerhouse in the world, investments are a necessity. I am not saying we should sign every single great player there is, but we can and certainly should do a lot better than Oliveira even with more people spending big in the market.

Everything is surely pointing in that direction.

in last 2 years marcato
there's plenty rumours but 2 % realitation ...

Wow there's a lot of 500 word essays here....lol. The only thing I have to say is that for us to lose even half the ownership of Di Gennaro for a player like BORRIELLO is not even silly...it's bordering retarded. Especially with the importance of having homegrown players. The only deal that should be done concerning Di Gennaro should be reloaning him...preferably to a Serie A club where I can watch him play every week . Reggina would be nice...he'd play with a fellow Milan product, Paloschi.

where is the desicion from lloris

we should just splash out on eto'o or adabeyor.. we've probably sold about 30million worth in players? well according to this article (read the bottom)
http://goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=713971
we probably have 15m+10m+5m from selling gila,oliveira and abbiati? if we have 30 million just from them, we should just put it all towards signing eto'o, im sure theyl more then consider an offer like that. and any new news on zambrotta or that Lloris guy?

Milan already tabled a 40 mil euro for etoo and zambo, i hope this is true, that means we are going to invoke the famous article regarding ronaldinho as soon as we finish the deal for the first bid, another thing vargas agent says that milan asked him about his agent, does it mean we are working silently for him, my feelings say we have something going on with roma. Mexes and mancini??! wanna play wide? One more thing zapata's agent says that the perfect replacement for maldini is zapata hmmm intresting? Again we are linked to brazilian defender (pato's friend), lot of names are being thrown, who are up to the moment only god knows what we are doing a team like this


Gk:lloris/buroc, kalac, dida
Rb:zambrotta, oddo,
Lb:vargas,janku,favalli
Cb:nesta,kala,bonera,simic,diago, mexes/zapata
Mid:gattuso,pirlo, ambro,sammarco, flamini, abate
Att mid:r10,kaka,seedorf
Att:pato,pippo,etoo,boriello

In an interview with lloris he said that next week he is offically going to be lyon player for 12 m, and he is that he took lyon for milan because lyon showed more intrest in him

Abiati and Boriello are coming 99% in Millanelo,this is frustrating..can galliani just wait that euro finish and to resolve status of boriello!?
Eto are forward to Inter now we again on Drogba.We must buy Ronaldinho in any case because he is brilliant in taktics options and that what we need!

Let me know, so I can inform Carlo and Galliani immediately!

(By the way, when our targets have been officially confirmed, then you can let us know if they will be failures before we buy them...would save us a lot of money!)

Thanks.

Ok! I will inform you as fastest as i can. By the way i will give you and the lucky numbers of lotto before every draw. I hope i have convinced you now.

Thanks.
