SHAME SHAME

i will ask Galliani to send a plane for me to Croatia so I can go and see Milan - Inter gratis and everyone will be happy in the world without money we spend!

If this statemant is true I'll be phisically sick...

If Galliani is able to "buy" Ronaldinho for free, he's THE king !! I think he's the king ... lol, so let the time going ... it could become funny

Anyway, I don't think there is one true word in this interview lol ...
Like Koeke said: "smokescreen"

I'm pretty sure we'll get one (maybe two if someone is sold) more player before the end of mercato.

Darmian was promoted last season too.

Thanks GeoTav! I appreciate the reposting.

I think its clear that until a player is seen at a press conference called by the club, holding up the kit with his name on it, that we have no idea what is really happening.

The media at times, know even less than we do.

So for me, these supposed statements by Galliani etc, are nothing for me to worry about yet, and I simply refer those who have trouble dealing with that, to rule #1, especially when you dont want to believe the reports.

By "Darmian" are we talking about Kaka´s brother? Even more reason for me to disbelieve this latest report. Doesnt suit me at all.

We will not get any striker of note. Just wait and see. Not being in the CL is hurting us financially, and Berlu will only spend money on players he really really wants.

No, Kaka's brother is Digao ... no hopes for him !! lol
Darmian is a young Italian defender who played maybe one or two times for the first team in Italian Cup matches, I think 2 years ago (when Aubamayang had his chance, anyway Darmian was 16 I think or 17 and he played only several minutes).

Rumours in a newssite here in Norway that Barcelona are gonna give 24 mill pounds for Adebayor. Of course there's no source or anything like that on the site.

Ok, thats a relief Geo, thanks (havent had my morning tea yet)

On another note: I read somewhere on this thread that reports have Berlu (in a meeting with Galliani) giving 7M pounds (more?) into the trasfer kitty for a forward, and today, I am reading where reports have him and Galliani had a meeting where he disclosed that no more funds would be pumped into the transfer bucket, and our mercato therefore is closed.

Now really. What do you choose to believe?

On the Darman "promotion"...still speculation, but it wouldnt be a bad thing to promote from our primavera ranks once in a while. We did it with a certain P. Maldini..and look how that worked out?

Not saying it will work all the time, but I am happy that we would go this route...or else why bother with a youth system if you never promote anyone?

Would like though, having said that, to see Paloschi going on loan, if he will not be used much next term...that way he can play more, and develop faster.

Hasan, I see you have your crystal ball working again. What does it say for the lotto numbers for Jamaica today? Let me know will you....I will split the money 50:50 with you!

I like that last bit though....

Nice...so with your revelation that we wont be getting a striker, does that mean R10 is getting ready to join training at Milanello on July 16th? (When last I heard, R10 was a player that Berlu really really wanted)

If we don't get a good striker then Paloschi stays, so Paloschi will stay. 7 million pounds won't get a decent sub striker nevermind 1st choice.

Our best hope is our youth players suddenly become great players, ditto Dida, Kalac, Kaladze, Favalli, Emerson, Borreillo, Antonini, Abate, Abbiati, Oddo, Janku, Brocchi, anyone else?

We all know Berlu has the money to spend. However, I think he also wants Milan to show that it can "walk on its own feet". I don't think this has anything to do with his motivation. He just doesn't want us to function as a club striving to stay afloat.

Not getting in the CL has hurt us. I don't share Galliani's pessimism with regards to Italy being behind Germany now in terms of the market, but his rants do have an element of truth.

If you look at the recent history, Berlu has not really spent a lot on a player. Couple that with no CL, and I don't think we will get a striker of any significance (Eto'o etc.). However, that does not mean we shouldn't go for someone in Italy, get back into the CL and then really really invest.

Just my opinion, and I also have my doubts as to whether Berlu really really wants Ronaldinho.

I have a question.

Why is it that when we are faced with conflicting rumors/reports, we often tend to go with the more negative of the two?

Pragmatism? Or just negativity?

(Ok, so three questions )
