Summer Mercato

To Jeff- I can almost guarantee you that he'll do FAR better than he did with us. And they already have Mutu & Pazzini, anything Gila gives would be bonus.

To GilAttack [11] - We'll see, I think on a team like Fiorentina he'll do GREAT!

i hope after giving up on sammarco for a loaf of bread ... we can get cigarini or velosso ... the most appealing solution for GK is boruc ... if we up with boruc zapata zambrotta flamini velosso/cigarini boriello gomez ... this is so great that the violas don't have a chance to compete !!!

We better get a good AM...or I am going to be very upset about this move...I thought he had great potential, but we dont have time to invest in youth, when we are expected to win silverware every season.

maybe we got an option on maggio in return.

sky sports have reported that yeah.... the english press are super unreliable tho...

Chelsea Agree Deal With Ancelotti


Ancelotti has been strongly linked with taking over at Chelsea ever since the sacking of Avram Grant just under a fortnight ago.

Sky Sports News claims that the Milan coach's representatives held talks with Chelsea officials this afternoon which resulted in an agreement for him to move to West London.

Now all that remains is for Ancelotti to give his final go-ahead to the deal, and for the Blues to agree a compensation package with Milan.

This all follows reports in the Italian media that Ancelotti met with Roman Abramovich in Paris last night at the Four Seasons George V hotel near the Eiffel Tower, where the Chelsea owner offered the Italian a four-year contract.

The meeting was long and thorough, and the Russian billionaire offered Carletto 7.2 million Euros net per year, as well as 100 million Euros to invest immediately on transfers, with the first target being Kaka.

Assistant coach to Ancelotti will reportedly be former Chelsea playing legend Gianfranco Zola, who is currently working with the Italy Under-21 national team.

Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani has admitted that Ancelotti was in Paris last night but denied it was to have talks with Abramovich.

"I spoke with Ancelotti. He was in Paris, but not to meet Abramovich. He was in Paris for business," said the transfer guru.

Whatever the exact truth, it certainly seems that Chelsea are homing on their new manager.


What do you think about this? I know Mrki will be happy
I think is just newspapers filling their pages, nothing more

I wouldn't support the club if I felt otherwise.

For me it would be a grand, no make that monumental waste of time.

I think carletto will stay until maldini decides to take up coaching. hopefully 2-3 yrs from now.

also, i dont believe barca wants Inzaghi, but maybe they would take him in a part excahnge deal if they and milan cannot come to an agreement on Eto'o.

maldini said he wouldnt coach. I really hope we get Lippi or Donadoni if italy wins euro lol..

Blues agree Ancelotti deal
But Premier League club yet to reach a settlement with Milan



Sky Sports News understands Chelsea have agreed a deal with Carlo Ancelotti following talks with the Milan coach's representatives.

Chelsea are homing in on their new manager after sacking Avram Grant less than two weeks ago after just eight months in charge.

The Premier League runners-up are understood to have narrowed down their short list for the job to two names.

Blackburn Rovers manager Mark Hughes, who is also interesting Manchester City, is one of the Blues' targets to replace Grant.

The other contender is an overseas coach and Chelsea have made a renewed attempt to prise Ancelotti away from the San Siro.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani revealed at the weekend that the club had turned down Chelsea's request to hold talks with Ancelotti.

However, Sky Sports News understands that the Blues have met with the Italian's representatives and agreed terms over taking charge at Stamford Bridge.

A deal with Milan is still to be reached and the concerted push to appoint Ancelotti looks likely to lead to Hughes joining City.

Sven Goran Eriksson, Frank Rijkaard, Guus Hiddink, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Roberto Mancini are among the names to have been linked with the Chelsea position, but it now appears owner Roman Abramovich has settled on Ancelotti.

Lippi wont come...

and if the Viola get a CL spot next season, or reach the quarter final of the CL, you can call me an idiot as long as you want

Milan will sign world class players... you cant just go on and buy players, you have to scout them... and I think almost every club in Europe is waiting for the EUROs to see how the players will do, Including Milan, Viola, Juve and Inter(well maybe not Inter)

and it doesnt matter how much players Viola buy... they wont(the players) have a good connection with each other on the pitch and it will take some time so they start having this connection which will lead them to victories

@Carlo, like I said in the other thread, expect a press conference soonish

oops thanks Sant

i think .. no offence anchelotte lovers ... that it's time for a new coach with the new players to have a new formation new tactics and so we win a lot because we became almost an open book for our opponents with our christmas tree all-over kaka formation ... i hope our new coach (if any) would be one of: rijkard .. hiddinik .. sacci .. trapatoni .. or even baresi !!!

I really hope Carlo stays...because, with Lippi stating he would "never" coach Milan, who else is there really (available etc)??

This isnt good news, even if the british press are as bad as the spanish, and italian versions!
