Summer Mercato

i think if we sign a WC AM like dinho, seedorf will see time soley in midfield.

Our midfield rotation will be pirlo, gattuso, ambro, seedorf, flamini. 5 bonafied starters for 3 spots.

That being said mystik, I would really welcome joao moutinho! He has similar characteristics to pirlo, he reminds me more of deco or rui costa though. Unfortunately we most liekly wont see him this mercato.

ginoformaggino, as usual your greasy lack of style commands little effort in replying you.
My comment wasn't meant to be political. I just mean that more than 900 trials in which Berlusconi was defendant actually confirm what i said.

Keep your propaganda for your little brained friends.
When you'll have spent 7 years studying in a Law School like me, i will try to take the time in replying you with juridical argumentations.

Meanwhile, i just remark that the size of your fonts won't make your argumentations any more convincing.

i'm not sold on borriello. Pippo doesnt have the legs to play full games, or consistant games. He is not a workhorse striker anymore. Pato needs to be brought along slowly. I dunno i could see pippo getting hurt. They we only have pato and borriello. If marco is not on form, its ALOT of pressure on young pato

Our management won't plump for Cigarini.

That means we will probably switch when Pirlo is not playing to a more conventional 4-4-2. If we get Dinho, then maybe we could play a 4-3-2-1, with Dinho and Kaka playing behind Pato, and a midfield of Flamini, Ambro/Gattuso, and Seedorf.

Barca and milan r doing right thing withdrawing and letting him complain, itll force arsenal to sell him at lower price. Wenger would be crazy to keep him unhappy, he'd be a cancer.

-i havent been too impressed by luis fabiano. He's 28 and just hit good form. Also sevilla have kanoute, poulsen, capel, renato, adriano who all feed him the ball. I find it interesting Ramos isnt too big on signing Fabiano, even though he wishes to raid rest of his former club. I think he might be like oliviera (definately different style players), inflated price off a good la liga campaign. I'd be more for signing someone proven (ade or BERBATOV!) or going for a highly promising younger striker (such as pato was)

-Finally everyone watch copa libradores final! Fluminese v. Deportiva Universitaria Quitos. Fluminese have a couple highly touted players we have been linked to. Thiago Silva (a CB) and Thiago Neves (an AM, likened to Pavel Nedved). deportiva Universitaria won first leg 4-2. I'm interested to see them being as clubs outside argentina/brazil RARELY get far in copa.

Indeed about Adebayor...

I have seen the Copa Libertadores... Fluminense's Thiago Neves most impresses me. Yeah while Liga Deportivo won the first match, Flum did score two crucial away goals... it's just that Flum's defense in that game was a bit shocking.

I think as far as Luis Fabiano... he's more proven than Oliveira, because Sevilla is a higher ranking team... and he did have a great time at Sao Paolo scoring over 100 goals in like 130 appearances...

Pavlyuchenko is a bit on the frail side.. it's a common issue... even Arshavin has been criticized on this ground. Many of these Russians are a bit skinny... do you think they would do okay in the Serie A?

Arshavin is certainly not frail. As for Pavlyuchenko, he was told to lose weight:

he's 6-3. I guess he is kind of skinny. but he plays physical from what i saw. Iunno, i imagine russian league has alot of dirtier defenders than serie A (sorry to play on russian stereotype) From what i saw he was tall, and knew how to use his body. Just throwing names out there...

Haha... well I guess that's not a problem for him lol...

It is just that I heard Arshavin was criticized by Wenger and others... for not doing that well in the game against Spain.

perhaps i'm going crazy, but i really want julio baptista. I think milan environment + carlo could transform him into "THE BEAST" he is suppose to be.

He certainly possesses the characteristics we are looking for. But he is not very prolific, but then again he does not get many chances at Real.

On that note they may be able to sell him because he might be deemed surplus.. but I don't see why he's given more credit than Luis Fabiano...

You ARE crazy.....as Jim_UK said...Baptista's first touch goes further than a John Terry Clearance....Might I suggest Zoloft/Effexor to remedy your mercato depression ?

Don't forget that Oliveira also had a nice career before he joined Milan.
He won the league with Valencia in 2004 and he was one of their best players. He was Betis' best player (22 goals in the league) in the following season when Betis made it to top 4 and played ChL.
It was the awful injury that stopped Oliveira's progress. If Milan bought him before the injury then i think everything would have been different.
This year he's shown again that his time in Milan was only a bad episode after the injury.
