Summer Mercato

Thanks Hasan...

I am troubled a bit by the Drogba rumors resurfacing....of all the "power strikers" I like him the least, more from a personality perspective, than from an objective assessment of his talent.

While he is talented, and fits the mold of the player we want, I would take Berbatov, or even Gomez over the current Chelski player.

A player that gets sent off in a UCL final should never wear our shirt (unless he buys it at a sports store)

I have lost all respect for him, and hope he goes no where near our club....unless its to play against us.

basically i ever said around last mid-season that maxwell would be a good addition for us regarded some of our fullback injured or others not playing good enough. i said that when mancini played maxwell and maicon in fullback regularly in their respective flank considering chivu still injured.
one member in this forum said it's quite impossible to bring maxwell out of appiano gentile and i said if chivu's back then it became stregth challenge to win 1st spot as left fullback.

months later, it seems that it could be true. maxwell is fast, strength and good in defending & attacking.
having pairing zambrotta & maxwell will be better than having zambrotta & janku/kaladze/favalli/maldini/antonini

It's really difficult for us, Milan, nowdays to bring player from Inter! If the condition is still like around 5 years ago, Inter is still a good place to buy players with pretty cheap price.

Hehehe... now inter is awake and pay full attention on milan mercato.
Not only difficult to buy their player, but last several years they also interfere our target from out there.

mafia indeed

But we still admit that Inter is our brother but they think that we are their enemy (regarding management comments). We let Suazo just like that without doing something legally to protest Inter. We didnt give such bad comments about them, we even always support them as italian club in CL but what did they tell about us in their 100th anniversary?

Yeah, older brother should always concede to his younger brother.

Nothing interesting but Deco signing with the Blues.

Gees, what happened to Zapata and the 180% Milan players-Sheva and R10?
Or the 80% Milan Player Adebayor,
Or MIlan did approached me but lets take after Euro-Veluso

the behaviour that milan management used lately upon inter apparently showing how inter need a pity from a strong club management like us.
then milan literally show that inter is not our level to compete with

Anyone got anymore details on this? Did he ask for a particular player, or for a certain position to be filled or reinforced with a sub?

He didn't say anything specific about which players to buy, or which areas that needs to be strengthened.

"Si parla di tanti giocatori, ma non è ancora arrivato nessuno, vedremo. Vogliamo che la società faccia il possibile per rinforzare la squadra, poi sarà la dirigenza a decidere quali giocatori serviranno".

Somebody is not too good with % calculation.

Let's see if Juventus are better, I read today that the chances of them signing Veloso was 50%...

I don't want Ferrari even if he is free!

are you nuts?

I think the papers mixed up Galliani's percent (%) sign and the Degrees (°)sign.
Applying this minor correction, his statements would now read
"R10 & Sheva are 180° Milan players" -meaning they were on their way here but turned around and went back where they came from
Also if he said that "Adebayor is 80° on his way to Milan".......using England as the origin of cartesian axes it's clear that he's headding to Barcelona.

And to think you guys questioned his math

Still criticizing our management !!
But at least, there, it's funny ...

A) Drogba Ronaldinho Zapata

B) Drogba Ronaldinho Ferrari Boruc

I would choose option A

Totally agree with you...having said that Udinese qualified for UEFA CUP they won't want to give him up this year. Also, I think management will wait to see how he performs post his injury before signing him.

Ronaldinho hooking up with Drogba or Pato with Kaka in the mix has the potential to give defences fits.

Zapata coupled with Nesta in the back would stomp a lot of potential goals in or around the area. Zambrotta playing the RB with Janks on the other side could push up in the attack and I'm pretty confident that they'll still get back.

LOLOLOLOL
yeah, yeah, very funny... could agree... LOL


Oh, and for centre-back problem, Zapata is OK, but my preference now is Santacroce. I doubt that Reja would let him away for us, though. Ferrari? No way. Too bad we couldn't get Ramos.

guys, in 4 hours Im leaving on vacation on the Adriatic sea and Im coming back near the the end of august. Every year I miss most of the mercato events here in MM But I'll be talking to you guys now and then from some internet caffe and bringing you news from Gazzetta and italian tv that I'll watch there...

I hope you guys and girls have a nice summer here and in your REAL lives also! And that when Im back we have Ronaldinho, Zapata and Boruc, it would be enough I must say in the end.

Cheers mates! FORZA MILAN AND FORZA GALLIANI! Lets rule the mercato like we did last 3 years!!
