Summer Mercato

Well all i'm saying is let Milan be the smart ones out there and not the likes of Arsenal who don't even reply to our VP Gallani after showing respect and interest in a player.
Milan removed one year is a team that looks like it is a mess to alot of people,but really is not that far from being on top again.Milan are looking for a striker well what's wrong with Borriello ,he can't be worse than Ronaldo who played 14games for us last year and yes Ronaldo did play well with 7goals,but that's where the problem was.We depended on a injury prone player,who sadly injured himself again.Do you guys really think that clubs like Real Madrid will sell a player like Ronaldo for cut price just because he was having problems with the team or more because he was risk at his age.If we are looking for a striker why not go after someone like Jeremy Menez from Monaco,i know everyone loves Benzema and i have watched both players live and on TV the past 2 years and this only a opinion,Benzema plays on a team with alot more talent.Which in result better service for him and more chances at goal.Jeremy Menez plays alone and to me he has more pace and better control.He'sbetter player for Milan because 1 he can play in different attacking roles,that means he can replace Seedorf,Kaka and Pato.And of course he is 21 and is not valued at 50million like Benzema.Now i'm not knocking Benzema because he is a stronger player physically,but i just see Menez being a very skilled player that will be a star on the right team and hopefully it's Milan.

right on jmacpherson..it is really getting annoying reading the same complaints from the same users over and over again.. there are so many things I'd like to do if I were in charge of Milan (like sell Rino Gattuso) but I am not...all I can do is debate - do you guys still think Gattuso has it, I dont think so.

Is it really that hard to keep your cool instead of saying Gattuso can't pass for shyt, Favalli is the most useless player I dont even know why he is alive, Emerson that wild bore has been bought to make our bench more expensive.. some people really need to chill down.

We were almost a mid-table club this season...

In my opinion this sums up what this thread has become. This is supposed to be a thread where we debate possible transfers or discuss confirmed transfers in a pleasant manner.

Instead its mainly filled with the following:

- complaints over how the club is managed
- complaints over past transfer seasons
- criticising and insulting current players
- criticising and insulting potential transfers or suggested transfers etc

With all due respect to everyone here, what gives us the right to criticise or insult management/players? What makes us better than them? What makes us experts?

If we were so good at what we do then we would be working for Milan or even playing in the starting XI !!

But no, we are actually sitting on the internet arguing that we know better than everyone else.

In reality nothing we say or do in this thread is actually going to make a difference to who we buy or how things are run.

If people are so discontented with Milan, why are you even supporting them?
If Milan buy nobody for the rest of the transfer window, are you going you to stop supporting them? Are you going to throw your toys out of the cot and threaten to stop supporting them?

Me, I'm a Milan supporter regardless of what we win, who plays for us or in which division/competition we play for.

If we bought 5x serie-b players and were relegated to serie-c I would still support them.

I've stated what I wanted to.

I'm going to attempt to keep this thread focused, civil and pleasant. I don't live in the past, I can't go back and change it.

Dunno about the rest of you?

I totally agree !!
I tried once or twice to explain the same thing but you did it so well !!

You're gonna tell us that we are blind? I'm going to tell you spending tons of money and bringing in a ton of new players will not solve anything... we need to find chemistry within the team. Milan is far pass Inter, Real Madrid and ManU in my opinion... this season was just a fluke. Stop your complaining. You're not changing anything and you're not convincing anyone by calling people blind. You certainly are not convincing me.

I want only the best for AC Milan and I'm not seeing it. And more so galliani and braidas smugness fuels my fire. In my opinion they both need to go. Galliani should have left post calciopoli...but berlu is a loyal man (not a bad quality). I jsut think milan is in denial of what modern football is and will be left further behind w/ mourinho coming into inter. Juve rising again.

Galliani and Braida are doing a lot this transfer season. Seriously, modern football? What's that? Become a bordello for players like ManU or Arsenal? No thank you. I'd much rather stick by a family of footballers. Juve signs Mellberg and Amauri... how is that better than who we have signed? It isn't.

And Mourinho is a man of big words, but few results. Anyone knows that.

Someone right it earlier, but pride comes right before the fall but its true. I just think after an embarassing 5th place finish in a mediocre serie A (sorry it is not what it was 10 years ago) . This is right time for a rebuild, some major changes and start afresh. But its the same recycled ****...reality is what it is.

Bayern had a mediocre season and ended up in fifth, and the next season they won their domestic title getting in first.

.
-Ambrosini has never been great. always been a good fighter off bench.
-Oddo is 32...we saw he couldnt get up field or cross like he used to
-Kalatze is error prone
-Nesta is 32, class but will not go on forever
-Maldini is a legend but he is 40.. anything he contributes ill consider a plus but i dont expect much out of him
-Janku hasnt played a whole season in years
-Favalli is 36 and cant stop any player w/ pace of the edge
-Pippo again hasnt played more than 1/3 of games the last 5 seasons...he cannot be counted to carry us all year
I mean i can really go on... i havent even gotten into the emersons and brocchis....

For one, there are a few problems here. Ambrosini offers a lot of quality for Milan and should stay. Oddo was injured this season and its not his fault. Kaladze is a damn fine defender, but he does need to cut out the one mistake a game thing. Nesta is one of the best slide tacklers... and should stay as long as he wants. Favalli I do agree should retire. But Pippo? Stop criticizing Inzaghi. He's carried a lot for us, and HE DAMN WELL CAN BE COUNTED ON.

I would give anything for galliani's job personally. Unfortunately no1 is asking me :-D

Frankly I'd much rather have no on here on Galliani's job, and especially not you.

Like Milano84 said, some of you are simply blind.

Milan has no team that can compete at the highest level right now. We are old, slow and we have a lously coach and a president that apparently doesnt invest money into the club anymore.

Fine, we will still all support Milan, but lets be real.

Mercato is horrible in past 4 years, we have bought only ONE good palyer - Pato. The rest was mostly failure or mediocre players by agr and money...and quality.

Berlusconi is full of $h!t and Galliani, Braida and Carlo are his puppys that do whatever he says. They work without money and Carlo works without balls. Result is - 5th place in horrible serie a that hasnt been this week in 15 years or so.

Modern footbal is here, Maldini, Oddo, Favalli, Emerson, Brocchi, Dida, Simic, Seedorf cant play it anymore. And Rino, Ambro, Pirlo, Nesta, KAladze need a rotation players to be fresh as they are all OLD! yes, old.

WE can lie to uorselves that we can win by buying Drogba, but we cant.

And, as Milano84 said, Inter hired one of the best coaches in the world ( like him or not, he won uefa cup and CL and euro supercup with Porto, 2 league titles with Cheklsea and hasnt lost a home game at all! ). The fact that you are italian doesnt mean you are god of football, Mourinho is a brilliant coach and if you cant see that then you are not so good in knowing football my friend. With the squad they have now ( which is stronger then ours ) and the players that will Mourinho will bring, plus Juve who is always Juve and was 10 pts in front of us even with a team that objectively novhere close to real Juventus, we are FAR behind.

If you people think that Jankulovski can play a good season, and that Oddo will suddenly play well, that Seedorf can play whole season at the top, that Pirlo, Rino and Ambrosini can play 40 games per season - the you are blind. Sorry but you are.

Hey Giancarlo, you've got an answer for everything, and your posts have become increasingly annoying to me. Just to set the record straight, how is winning Portuguese league twice, UEFA cup, Champions League, 2 Premier league titles, FA cup, not winning anything?
Eagerly awaiting your answer...

This comment is simply ridiculous and comes from a man that is not objective as a fan. Oddo was injured, and even when he was healthy he was horrible in attacking phase. And now he is 31 or 32 and who says he will be 100% fit and better then before? For sure he has not got a big future. To be real - Oddo WAS and Is a real dissapointmena in Milan so far.

Kaladze is good but makes a mistake every game -hahahaha!!! Those players I call - not good enough my friend. A denfender that makjes a mistake per game is unrealable and if he wasnt playing with the best defender in universe - Nesta - he would have made 3 mistakes per match. Kala is a good defender, for a rotation player.

Pippo I agree - superpippo. But he can play 10 games per season and that means he can only be 4th striker right now. Be real, he is 35.

How are we blind if we dispute your constant complaining? Frankly this is getting quite childish. And it falls on you and him.

Milan most certainly does have a world class team. Old and slow? You sound more like an Inter fan. some of you might as well go support inter, because it seems like you criticize our team more than any other.

Our team is no older (our backline and midfield) than any other out there. In fact even Manchester United has a similiar age line-up. A lousy coach? You are calling Ancelotti lousy? How the hell is the guy lousy? He led Milan to more glory than Ferguson has done in what? FIFTEEN YEARS. He's done more in 7 years than Ferguson has done in 15.

Berlusconi is full of $h!t and Galliani, Braida and Carlo are his puppys that do whatever he says. They work without money and Carlo works without balls. Result is - 5th place in horrible serie a that hasnt been this week in 15 years or so.

More complaining and crying. More bashing of players, and most of this is unsupported. Maldini, Oddo and Seedorf can't play anymore? So we should just force them to retire? How the hell is Pirlo old anyways? Nesta is one of the best tacklers in the world, and that still stands. Berlusconi is a lot more decent than you, and he will put money into this.

So what if we had a bad season? Instead of crying and complaining, the team needs our support so it can improve next season and win the Scudetto. Complaining and taking stabs at the team will DO absolutely nothing to help them.

Here is my take, I'm sick and TIRED of this crying and complaining. If it doesn't stop, I'm leaving this forum.

And, as Milano84 said, Inter hired one of the best coaches in the world ( like him or not, he won uefa cup and CL and euro supercup with Porto, 2 league titles with Cheklsea and hasnt lost a home game at all! ). With the squad they have now ( which is stronger then ours ) and the players that will Mourinho will bring, plus Juve who is always Juve and was 10 pts in front of us even with a team that objectively novhere close to real Juventus, we are FAR behind.

Mourinho is a damn loser that didn't win Chelsea a DAMN THING INTERNATIONALLY. Even Avram Grant got closer to a CL title than that fool ever came close to getting. It doesn't matter what he won with Porto. He won nothing internationally with Chelsea and he has a big mouth. And so far I've seen Inter give up few players, and buy almost nothing. In fact there are reports that they are keeping Burdisso, and that Balotelli might indeed leave.

You guys ought to quit your complaining, or I'm OUT OF HERE.

Oh really? What international trophy has Mourinho won Chelsea? I'm not talking about Porto, damn it.

Well Felipe Scolari is the new coach of Chealse lets see who is he going to let go.

Really...? Do you have any support or proof for your frankly baseless little complaints? Or do you just make these complaints because you're in reality an inter fan? Oddo was better when he was healthy, and I don't think trading him for Sagnol or whatever will help.

I'm not objective? Seriously? Are you kidding me? I'M NOT OBJECTIVE? MY WORD. You're you the most subjective individual on here, and I'm not the one calling everyone blind because we don't agree with your pathetic opinions!

35 years old or not... he's far more reliable than Drogba or Adebayor.

Well.....Ciao....good luck travelling home. Giancarlo you are a child in soul, as a Milan fan there is not need to say stupid things like "pippo is even at 35 more reliable than Drogba" We all like Pippo, but such statements have no sence.

You want to leave or yu just say so? If you really want to - bye.

Or so I assume you're gonna continue complaining and crying abou things you can't change?

I'm really happy that many of you are not involved in Milan... back in Milan, I do know people in the management.

how come we didnt get Maggio? i thought we were close to him? napoli offer more money?
