Summer Mercato

Oh YEAH? I remember the time the media was calling Sobis the next Ronaldo....half a bad season and he's crap?? to me he looks better than Gonzalo Bergessio

He's like the worst player.....ever.
He runs more than anyone else, i admit that, but his ball control, his positioning and especially his crosses are the worst i've seen in a long long time.

Even if they play in different positions: he is your Brocchi. Every team has one, and I reached the conclusion that every team needs one (team's mascot, people bent their frustration on them-sometimes not fairly-, it gives hope to youngsters that "if he is there, I can be there too", and their probably good team players, the type you need in a group).

Nocerino is a player i can't stand. He's ok, but there is something about the way he plays that i really dislike. He's like a twin brother of the 22 years old Gattuso. You remember the young Gattuso ? We were all like, WTF is this guy doing in football.

Young Gattuso was so bad, I remember that I loathed him more than anyone else in the team (and we had really bad and loathable players in that team). He just didn't understand the basics in football which was frustrating to watch.

As for Milan, they aren't doing very well lately but i think Paloschi will make it and will become a star in Italy. The boy isn't at the olympics simply because he's only 18 and the players that will play in China are 21/22/23 years old. But he's the best player of the Italian u19 team.

We produce a lot, the problem is the quality of what we produce is more than anything good players for mid-low table teams. Though I believe in Abate and even Di Gennaro (apart from Paloschi).

As for Sobis, since he arrived to Betis...he has done nothing. He has done nothing with the brazilian NT too, so for now, the veredict would be negative on him. If we buy him now, we will look worse (weak) than ever in our rivals eyes, considering the first points, and the fact that we wanted him 2 years ago when he was more acceptable and couldn't get him from Betis (that's not to say Betis are not the best to do negotiations with...they will look for any way to take away as many euros as possible).

On the other hand reading that Napoli could get in negotiations for Hamsik, and that his cost isn't too out of reach, that's one we should look for, we won't, but we should.

We would hope that they should just stay as a bench warmer lol.

yes, actually i never see this man playing before, probably would turn out to be a good player but not close the possibility that he becomes another Oliviera's case. well at least in that vids guy is be able to score. that's a good thing

meanwhile instead of getting the best player, we linked with rumour about losing our best player hope just another silly rumour, one smart move from Galiani by rejected the offer at the 1st time ^^

Pretty quiet day at the forum today.

Okay, so I guess Galli can't use the excuse of too bad Laporta did not get re-elect or we could sign R10. Lets see how that goes. Personally, I don't mind R10 not coming, but I do mind the MGT kept going on about signing R10 and end up with nothing.
They should really learn to keep their mouth shut.

What is going on with Zapata and Hernanes? MIlan must do something.

Anybody know what the situation is about Santa Cruz ???

Is he available ???

If so whats his price ???

He just didn't improve as expected ... anyway, who knows ... with such a potential when you're young, you can become an excellent player even after some years in bad form but I have doubts for him. Liverpool took him but killed some parts of his talent by putting him on the bench of the bench lol !!

In the same case, you have Le Tallec ...

Gazzetta dello Sport says Milan are sending Italian super agent Enzo Bronzetti to Barcelona in order to test the water over the prospect of taking Ronaldinho on-loan for the new season.

Despite Barca's recent reluctance, Milan are convinced the time is ripe for such a proposal with president Joan Laporta struggling to hold into power at the Nou Camp

According to Tuttosport, AC Milan are completely unconvinced by the ability of Marco Borriello and are already considering offloading the striker

Tuttosport says that another painful divorce between the two parties is inevitable, and coach Carlo Ancelotti clearly does not fancy Borriello, who he believes will be just another Alberto Gilardino.

I can understand that. One season with 19 goals doesn't make him a star. If you compare him to how Gilardino was before he came to Milan, Borriello is a nobody. Gilardino's statistics were far better and over a longer period of time. I won't expect too much contribution from Borriello really. But of course I hope he can do well if he stays...

Board? What board are u talking about here bro?

There is no board...there is only really Berlu...if there even is a board, its there to say "Yes sir Berlusconi" and not much else.

Have u forgotten the ownership structure of our club?

Galliani stays (like it or not) until Berlu decides to replace him.

I for one agree that he "talks" too much....but having been around for several mercatos, he tends to get what he/Berlu is after.

If Milan go on to win a "treble" this year, with one or two of R10, Adebayor or Drogba, how many of us will recall the machinations of this mercato?

YEAY Dunga called up Rafael Sobis to the Olympics Hope he doesn't pull a Quaresma and play carp there

I heard the Carlo isn't impressed with Borriello (sorry I think the post above me talks about it too).....Poor Carlo he never gets the players he wants and is expected to always turn water into wine.....then when he fails people call for Mourinho

Carlo wanted
Sobis, Toni, Trez, Totti (2+ years ago) and Ribery
So far we got Emerson, Borriello, Olivera...our only decent signing being Pato

If you can't imagine such a simple concept as a 18 year old player against a 23 year old player in the football world, then it is hard to debate with you. now tell us what Nocerino did when he was 18. In fact Paloschi was only 17 when he debuted.

Nocerino is seen as a transer for those clubs as he is not deemed good enough for Juve. Paloschi will at most be loaned out from MILAN because he is deemed to good to lose. that with his 5 years less in experience. I wouldn't be surprised if Paloschi have a better career than the overhyped Balotelli. Hell, a 18 year odl getting playing time in our Milan enviroment is amazing enough.

scored a goal per game for the allevi nazionale. top scorer in the primavera. Scores in most U-19 games he play and already 4 goals with the senior team while barerly being 18. Scoring on his debute both in copa and A.

Pretty much every LB in Italy is better than Nocerino. I bet most of the serie B ones are too.

Or even a football player.

Italian U-19 team had 4 Milan players starting for them. although the one year younger Albertazzi don't start all games.

Is anyone else concerned about the fact that Pato will be going to the Olympics? We REALLY need to have a blazing start to the campaign and I feel like he is such a vital part of that; good experience for him yes, but how much do you think it could disrupt our preseason bonding and into the start of the season?

I would be willing to bet anything that this is a complete and utter lie.
