Summer Mercato

as for Benzema, he is going to explode anywhere he goes, and if it not Milan, you people will be the same one to say, why didnt Milan finalize this deal. The same thing that went for Torres.

Oh Galliani said that last years Mr. X was purchased, and he was (Drum Roll please)




EMERSON

Im not sure are Milan managers just really trying to bring big names into the clb or they are just inactive on the market and not working enough.

Dos Santos went to Tottenham ( which is a good club with a great coach and few great players ), but for around 6mln + 5 after some period of time and considering the ammount of apperances and so on...

Dos Santos was the best young palyer of the young world cup few years ago. He is in bad relations with Rijkaard and so on, but he is an extraordinary palyer who is 19!! I cant believe Milan didnt look for him. He can play 3 roles in Milan ( left wing/second striker, right wing/second striker, and as a classical AM ). Its too weird to me that noone reacted...United, Chalsea, ARSENAL!!, Juve, inter...???

Dossena - an excellent Lb and in future for sure to be a NT player in Italy. Went to L'pool for 10 mln. Milan could have signed him for sure.

now there are "normal" players that can improve our squad, players like: Zapata, Boruc, AQUILANI ( who could leave Roma and could go to Juve - the best young midfielder in Italy...), Vargas ( gone )...and so on...

When Galliani says there are just certain players that can improve Milan that is not true!

And one more time I will say that Gomes in not on the level of Drogba, Adebayor, Benzema, Berbatov... AndRonaldinho is the most talented palyer on earth even with his knees broken, same as Roinaldo. But Ronaldinho is not injured and is 28! Im sure Milan has an agreement with him and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that this genious wears Milan shirt next season. Ronaldinho is a football God when is 90% fit, no Kaka', C."Ronalo", Messi can match him.

Stop.

Not because a team want you, or makes an offer for you, that means you are going to leave.

Aquilani is not leaving ROMA. END OF DISCUSSION.

bye bye giovanni

Its not that Juve just made an offer so I said that. Aquilani is in negotiations with Roma for a new contract and Sensi familiy is, for now, resisting to pay as much as he wants. Juve is offering Iaquinta, Marchionni + cash. source: SKYtg24, half an hour ago.

And also about Adebayor: I see some of you speak how he is rough and so on...dpesnt behave nicely. I would really like to see Drogba in Milan, but when you actually came to think about it, maybe Adebayor is the best choice. If Milan wants that tipe of player Adebayor can fufill just that. He has showed he has shot, skill, touch, heads well, has energy and has no fear and has fire in his game. And HE IS 24 years old. Which means Milan could have a top class striker for next 6-7 years. Dont forget that Drogba reached this level of absoulte top football 3 or 4 year ago, and now he is 31...

Don't worry mrki we are idiots (or maybe just me ) The other clubs are buying up a storm or at least are hotly linked with GREAT players while we continue to release statements about how we OWN the transfer market etc.

Apparently Tottenham, Barca, Inter, Juve etc are also idiots for buying or pursuing so many players...we're only in june....what Morons There are clubs that don't even need players that are buying up a storm...'why?' you might ask....well how about an ancient mystical term called 'squad depth' for starters?

It's hard to compete for a spot when you're out injured and on top of that want to leave the club...

Hmm, i doubt these news are a coincidence.
Juve are chasing Xabi Alonso as you know. Liverpool allowed Alonso to discuss the personal terms with Juve and they found a mutual understanding. All that is left is Juve and Liverpool to negotiate the price.
Juve offered 15/16m eur while Liverpool are still asking for 20 m eur.
Today i read that Aston Villa accepted Liverpool's offer for Barry.
And also today we hear these news about Juve's latest offer for Aquilani.

Liverpool found a player to replace Alonso while Juve are "trying to buy" Aquilani, who'll cover the same position as Alonso.

Something like this could make Liverpool accept Juve's offer for Alonso (15-16m eur) instead of sticking to the 20m eur they initially asked for.

That's the most logical thinking in this case. The Aquilani rumors are meant to lower Alonso's price.

Yeah, another possibility is that Juve are really going after Aquilani but in that case they'll have to give up on Alonso, and i doubt they'll do that, especially since Alonso and Juve agreed on the wages and everything.

Third option is Juve to buy both of them which is almost impossible because with Camoranesi and Sissoko (and one of Nedved/Giovinco) as sure starters, there is no place in the starting XI for both Alonso and Aquilani.
Also, in order to buy both of them Juve will have to sell players. Trezeguet is the one who'll bring good money to Juve but if Juve give Iaquinta to Roma and sell Trez, then they'll be left with only two attackers.

Liki i said, it's probably a smokescreen and an atempt to lower Alonso's price.

What bothers me is Trez. Yesterday he clearly said that he'll stay and that he doesn't want to leave but Gazzetta keep claiming that Trez is sure to leave Juve for Barca.
Gazzetta aren't Tuttosport or one of those Spanish and English papers who write BS. They are usually well informed.
I'll kill Secco if he sells Trez

excuse my ignorance , but what type of player is benzema ?? is he an inzaghi-trezegol type of player, an allround/mobile forward like sheva, or a power striker like adebayor/drogba etc..?
as for drogba, i agree he is a class player and better than adebayor as of now. but he is 31 yrs old... we always complain that we buy old players, then the same should apply to drogba - he has 2-3 yrs max at top level.... adebayor will most likely improve for some years, and play quality football until 30~33 yrs old. — 39M is crazy money i believe, however.

Arsenal previously made a bid of 12M for Zapata, and it was rejected. so we will have to pay some 15M+ for him. I heard that Mexes' clause says he can be bought at 14M, this july. can anyone confirm the mexes' clause thing? and what are your opinions regarding zapata vs. mexes?
personally i have never seen zapata play, but i can say mexes is classs.

Same song again ... Milan can't take everybody !! It's not because they don't take guys YOU would like to have in the team that they don't work !! It's quite weird to think like that, we signed 3 players whereas mercato didn't start yet, but they don't work ...

WE NEVER ASKED FOR EVERYBODY AND WE NEVER ASKED FOR BORRIELLO (Professor XXX) AND FLAMINI. Many didn't want Zambrotta either......"it's like having a million spoons when all you need is a knife" Subsitute 'spoon' with 'CDM', 'knife' with 'left back' and Alanis Morisette actually sings about our transfer campaign !#~%$in IRONIC

And for those of you guarding Berlu's purse strings kindly click here

We are one of the biggest REVENUE earners and we spend as if Berlu had to use his washing machine to wash the squad kits :wallbag:

When will you understand that we're talking about the QUALITY of the arrivals ?
Barca gets rid of Zambrotta because he is clearly deteriorating
guess who we get?
Real Madrid did the same thing with Ronaldo and Emerson

For those who keep overrating Flamini...personally I'd adopt a wait-and see attitude before lavishing my praise. This was the same player that Wenger found no place for last season. I'm not saying that he isn't good/going to improve though.

We tried to get Borriello playing time all over Italy. Meanwhile most of the other clubs are lineing up for superstars or at least very good players in the positions that they lack

Originally Posted by drucurl

So we get no quality compared to others ??
When I watch, FOR MOMENT, mercatos from the others clubs, I don't see more quality than in our mercato. I can also tell you that I see less quality, again for moment, in English clubs mercatos, Juv/Inter/Roma (of course, noone yet for Roma) mercatos, Barcelona/Real/Villareal mercatos too ...

The only club already doing an amazing mercato in Europe is Fiorentina. Of course, my statement is only "for moment".

So I don't see any need to cry like babies ... it's quite unpleasant to read.
