Summer Mercato

@Tony29

I agree with all in your last post.

I still believe in Milan management, I only complain how Galliani words about mercato Milan's done this year.

So, Galliani say Gomez an Berbatov are tgts too? Of course $heva is mentioned ...but I am good with either Gomez or Adebayor....Berb and Drog dont have the mental fortitude at the highest level...Drogba because of his red card, and Berb because he hangs his head too easily.

Would take the German over the Togo intl, (Thats where Adebayor is from rite?) again because I think he is a better all-round player.

Ok Galliani, looks like you left me on the beach to look at the girls...no prob bro! Go do some work!

yes he is from togo.

and there is no chance to land ade. Wenger will not sell him to Milan, expecially after we "stole" Flamini from them

What is tgts? Sorry, I only know few abbreviations.

Tgts=targets

@ Payne: agreed...I have little hope Arsenal will sell him....unless of course he demands a move, which I also don't see happening...but u never kno...

The base agreement is of 4 or 5 years. If we find the agreement with the player we go to dealing with the cataloni".



FIORENTINA, Mutu is on the market, Milan want him too
07.06.2008 00.00 by Marco Gori read 5

The salary augmentation required by Adrian Mutu to Fiorentina is pratically a request of leaving the club; the rumanian star has always declared that money is not important for him but probbaly things have changed, expecially after he seems to have lost the 12 million Euros lawsuit against Chelsea. In any case, after the player's agent has asked Fiorentina to rise Mutu's salary up to 4 million Euros per year, SportS Director Pantaleo Corvino has already made an evaluation for the player: between 25 and 30 million Euros; probably behind the player's attitude there is already a negotiation with another club, probably from Germany, but a transfer to AC Milan, that could offer 15 millions plus Brocchi or Bonera, is also a possibility.

Hmmmm Mutu...now he would be a good addition...makes for some interesting considerations....but R10 is still better, if arguably a greater risk...

I really have to think about this! (Even if Mutu's arrival is a long shot)

I dont really agree with the idea of signing Mutu as news said. He is a support striker who I think can't play well Seedorf's position (behind a striker) when Milan need to play 1-striker formation.

I do think that we need a player who can play Seedorf's position and a big central forward. They are : Ronaldinho and Drogba/Gomez.

@Warro

Thanks for the answer.

I'm not talking about his qualities because i don't think people rate him as high as they rate Drogba or Eto'o or other similar players. I believe people are fair when they describe Amauri and his good/bad things. He is a very very good forward, who has great technique, scores some beautiful goals and who's great in the air, but he lacks something the other top strikers have.

But if we talk about his price then he's certainly overrated. I mean, almost 23m euro. That price tag is sick.
Yeah, i know that it's very hard to find good attackers and they are always the most expensive ones, but the market for attackers is getting crazy and every attacker out there is overpriced.

I know you guys here love to criticize your board, but you must understand how hard it is to find a top attacker. Juve payed 23m for Amauri, who can easily find himself on the bench (ok, they didn't pay 23m, but they payed 12m+players, but nevertheless the total is 23m). Milan need a first team striker, a great one, and there aren't many top attackers out there. There are only few and most of them aren't for sale.
You had to pay 24m for Gila and 20m for Oliveira (including Vogel) and you got burnt.
Now you can't find an attacker who costs less than 20m eur, while the best ones cost 30-40m. (Adebayor's price is 40m ??? what are they thinking? )
I can understand the Milan fans and their wishes for top class striker but i can also understand your board for being careful.

I agree with you NOW we have to be careful.

We got burnt because management tried to take the easy way out after Sheva left by buying Oliviera. Gila was brought in while Sheva still was here.

So when Sheva left you don't buy Oliviera to fill the void. That was when they should have bought a proven striker. Then last year they didn't want to buy Toni although he agreed to come. So he goes to the Germany to be come their leading scorer.

Now we need a number one more than ever in recent history. Every club in Europe knows it, they see how frugal we've been and now want to make sure we pay. Unbiasedly, I'd have to say I'd so the same thing to Milan.

They can be as careful as they want, just about any striker is going to be a risk, and most teams are going to want BIG $$$$$$ from us and I don't blame them.

Management has made this bed, they have to lay in it, and no one is willing to give them a blanket or a pillow.

Now they should just shell out some dough and get a WC striker before they waste anymore money on a dud!

You're right, and I'm sure Barca also feel that we're screwing them over with this R10 situation. We also made a fortune off of selling Sheva. R. Madrid don't like us because of the Kaka situation. (and maybe even the way the Ronaldo deal went down)

In short I can totally understand why other big teams play hard ball with us.

There must be something so wrong with this statement. How can Madrid hate us? We actually should hate Madrid, not the vise versa!

We all know how terrible Madrid's behaviour these two years regarding their boards (management) comments to media like chasing unfairly Kaka, Fabregas and the lattest is Ronaldo. Madrid almost break their relationship with ManU if Madrid's uncivilized president didnt take back his words about Ronaldo.

I cant understand that.

The transfer market is pure about money. Just look at Palermo's president who said that he wont deal with Milan anymore but we already saw that he wanted to deal with us to sell Amauri.

If money is available, the discussion can begin. Money talks!

Plus we are a respectable club. We are not Inter Merda nor Real Merda (first time I use this word lol)!

I just think the whole situation frustated the hell out of them, and so they would do the same to us if there was any player that we wanted to sign from them.

But you're right...they brought that pie on their face to themselves.
They were asses.

Bye Bye Danni Alves

Daniel Alves has officially signed for Barca.
