If they dont answer, its paramount to us not getting him...its that simple...if he does want the switch, its a different thing. Maybe he does. Still prefer Gomez and Benzema (though not necessairly in that order).

Not too worried in truth if we dont get R10...we do need an attacking midfielder to rotate with Kaka and Seedorf...so lets see...

I agree that Adebayor is deninitely tha smokescreen.....I am thinking that we are definitely pursuing Eto'o or Drogba.....I am just hoping that it's Drogba and R10 and not Eto'o alone...because Kaka could sure do with backup(s). A rising Brazilian star perhaps?

Warro if we play 4-3-1-2 for the majority of the season, Seedorf and Kaka will be rotating for that 1 spot. I think we need a creative player to play as part of the 3 midfielders rather than a pure CAM. Players of the mould of Fabregas, Iniesta, Anderson, Modric all of which are unavailable of course but I think we need a player of that style.

i hope to god gattuso and ambro get benched rest of tourney. Maybe thatll wake galliani up that they are PAST there prime. Its not an age thing. Zanetti at inter is still class at 35. Maldini was up to 36...and he still is useful to this day. Nesta is also at 32. But each player is different. you cannot deny gattuso has lost a step. and Ambro frankly never was class. Both r now useful squadp layers.... but you have a problem if you consider them 2/3 your starting midfield

you mean the same position seedorf played for 3 years before we threw a bitchfit that he was a 'trequarista' and pouted everytime he played a more centralized MF from there on

And where pray tell, did you ever read/hear them saying this?

Dunno...that's what we pay Braida to do no? Maybe one of Dessena/Cigarini could do the job? Cigarini does run box to box and is quite the creative player and won't complain about a little bench time.

Of course he isn't Milan material.....we have Janku (Favagol's understudy)...who'll have him covered like a blanket

on ManUtd champions league run. Ancelotti and Galliani admited he was playing well, but still wasnt a milan player... 'woudlnt fit our tactics'.

Moutinho is class currently, will get better... Chelsea, Barca are both all over him which explains his abilities. Dessena/Cigarini are good. May develop to be NT players, but theres a reason they were on a relegated side.

pretty much the only time we'll spend big on a youngster is if leonardo sells us on him....kaka, pato. which is great, but basically that means we'll only sign young brazilian talent and then surround by a bunch of italians. some good, some mediocre, some bad

So you're saying that since Parma got relegated, Cigarini and Dessena are not as good anymore? I can't say I agree with that logic at all...

Also they wouldn't cost a lot at all and Cigarini is a class player just look at his U21 performances. If his name were Cigarinho we'd be all over him. Let's not forget the importance of having Italian players in the team, with the proposed 6 + 5 rule coming up.

No I'm saying they arent good enough to make a real contribution in our midfield as of now. I said they will be good.
