Summer Mercato

Cameronessi has been given a long leash also. He shouldn't feature tomorrow either.

And I know it's too late to cry over spilled milk but Inzaghi would have stolen them the Romania game IMO. They had the chances and no one stepped up and finished them. Inzaghi off the bench gives you the best chance to steal a game in the last 15.

IMO Donadoni made an unwise decision not bringing him. He's good enough to take you to the dance/all the qualifying games, but not good enough to be included in the the big show!!!

I respect your opinion,i just see Eto of less of a gamble.He would be great with Kaka and Pato.I just would not gamble on a Wenger player first of all.Henry,Anelka,Pires,Overmars.What every happened to these players.Let's face it Wenger makes players better than they usually are.

Glad someone agrees with me... I think that Eto'o is guaranteed reliability... he just has the record for playing for a huge club. Not saying that Arsenal isn't big... Adebayor is just not as reliable as Eto'o.

Lets keep this to transfers

how everybody assumes such an experimental squad will suddenly overcome opposition as France (this isn't Malta to test out new formations) is BEYOND ME.....ONE or TWO changes max otherwise midfield cohesion is lost and France will dominate.

Gomez has missed another yet another sitter....hmmmm...might just b overrated.

Why do you keep comparing Milan with Juve ? It's not like Juve were any better than Milan last year. The only difference was in the schedule because Juve didn't have to play CL or Club world championship.
You should compare Milan to Inter or Roma and you should ask yourself what type of players and how many of them you need in order to win the scudetto in front of Inter and Roma this season.

And i as a Juve fan do not have any objections on Juve's transfer mercato this year.
Amauri is a player i always wanted in Juve and i rate very high. Mellberg was a free transfer who accepted low wages. He's perfect for squad depth. The Swedish kid, Albin Ekdal, will be immediately loaned. Xabi Alonso is as good as signed while the best piece of business imo is bringing back Giovinco.
Juve are still after a left back (Grosso being linked the most) and i believe they'll bring one more defender or midfielder.

Wait you're a Juve fan? What? A fan of Milan and Juve at the same time? How?

I don't think Inter is really that special and I think that Mourinho is overrated...

very interesting point on wenger. I'm just not sold on eto'o. you saw him against mnaUtd in CL. That was as ITALIAN a team as you'll see.... he's great in the open la liga... but breaking down opponents? He's also that THAT big of physical. Let me make it clear. I think eto'o is a GREAT striker... but i dont thing hes ready for serie A. hes best in la liga or if we went to a liverpool type long ball team (a la torreS)

I think benzema will be the best. but i see your point on winning next year? But if we have boriello as a striker who isalready peaking, shouldt we be fine?

I like Jo the most. but like benzema i question how much he'd contribute next year. I just see him as 1 whos value will double when he moves to a big league. Pato +jo/Benzema could be lethal upfront for YEEARS

very interesting point on wenger though

Yes, more so than boriello

Eto'o is more ready than Jo or Benzema (where was Benzema in the Euro games?). Eto'o scores when needed and he would have scored in the CL if his team was in a better shape...

He's NOT a milan fan....he's an evil Juventino, the scum of the earth, one of Moggi's henchmen from hell etc etc.....He singlehandedly destroyed my "Reasons to support Juve" thread by locking the gentle posters of MM in a room and threatening them that if they ever posted any insult towards Juve they'd be sleeping with the fishes the next morning. Yip...you guesses it....his surname is "Soprano"

Well when his team finishes in 7th or 8th next season... lol... we'll see how evil he'll get. Seriously... lol... I'm sick and tired of Juve fans and how hypocritical they can be.

This is a MILAN FORUM. You know us Milan fans... we rarely agree on things, but we still are who we are.

like him or not. He's 1 of the biggest coaches on the planet and ALOT of players want to play for him, who didn't want to play for mancini. He's raised inters profile. He'll bring in a few more quality players they r lacking now. And hes a highly effectrive/conssitant coach.

I find mourinho entertaining but also rude and obnoxious. I hate chelsea, so i didnt like him. And now he goes to inter, so u can imagine how i feel. All he needs to do is go to real madrid and he's coached the complete axis of evil

Arguing ancelotti is better is pointless. That may be true it may not. but not agreeing that Mourinho is damm good and close to ancelotti is a little silly.

do you not think capello or lippi are good coaches eitheR?

benzema scored in CL games. I think france is overrated personally. Ribery is amazing. but govou and malouda r mediocre wingers.... more name than production in my opinion. I dont think he got much service against romania....

I already pretty much explained why Mourinho is an overrated coach and he is not any good. I already gave you a case on why I even think Avram Grant is a better coach than Mourinho. Grant certainly got Chelsea closer to the CL title, than Mourinho.

It doesn't matter who Inter buys...there is ZERO Cohesion on the team and there won't be any next season. Ancelotti is far better than Mourinho by far. And yes I do like Lippi... the man that won Italy a world cup after 24 years.

My gosh another bad game from gomez
