Summer Mercato

channel 4 reports that barcelona will take three days to decide on our offer, and it's only 8 million pounds

About our next signing, I agree with you Giancarlo that we need a CF, but still I'd prefer a goalie, although the chances about us going for someone like Boruc are slim. I like Warro's conclusion with the article about Frey refusing to join us - it could be a sign we really are after a GK. But I think it's far down on management's list of priorities, especially after rumours about Dida getting back his form.

However, if Ade's price really did drop that much and we don't get him because we blew our load early for Borriello, that'd be a big disappointment. I'm not super blown away by Pavlyuchenko, he's good for sure, but I think we can do better. If that cannot happen financially this year, then let's get Dinho, rally the troops, and call it a mercato.

on other hand. borriello could command a transfer of over 15 mil. so we could move him. if carlo and galliani arent sold on him. they will. Roma wants him

I'm keeping my fingers cross... hope this works out for us....
We need some defenders now

I'm with you giancarlo, i'd like a forward too-i've been waiting since Sheva left!
Milano, you really think they'd pay 15 mil? I also saw that Mutu is interested in Roma, I haven't heard a peep from other teams about Borriello other than Genoa wanting to keep him. If we did sell him for 15 though that'd be one hell of a piece of business and I'd applaud it wholeheartedly.

If we dont sign ronaldinho i will be really depresseD ~~

Ronaldinho and his agent themselves want to come to milan and the barca board are letting him go ...


if we are to lose him to man city .. it just shows how low galliani has become ... were losing one of the worlds best for 10 million

Guys, better you get used to the idea that with Ronaldinho our mercato will be closed.

I don't want to think about anyone, in this moment. I just enjoy one of the possible best signing of Milan history.

Even if they only pay between 8 to 10 million pounds?

If we spent 25 for him okay...but the money we saved on Dinho + another 5can probably get us a quality striker.

Yeah, well if we get what we are asking for (and because Ronaldinho wants to leave)... we would most certainly have the budget for at least one more player. I do not think that our mercato will be closed after we sign Ronaldinho.

If we pay between 8-10 million pounds for Ronaldinho, there is no way our mercato is closed. Berlusconi allocated far more than that... and the fact we are getting him for such a low fee... is quite astounding. The player does not want to go to Man City, therefore Barcelona are stuck in accepting the reduced fee.

You don't consider wages, which are the biggest cost in football transactions, plus commission fees.
And Laporta won't let him go for less than 20 M.

Perhaps...but although he would be my last choice maybe Sheva on a loan would be advantageous.

Boriello, Pato, Pippo, is not enough. I think Paloschi is going to be loaned out, therefore Sheva () on loan might be something we need to push for just for some depth.

Bronzetti will certainly command a big amount in his commission. This is possibly his biggest transfer to/from Spain, ever. Also, we will have to pay the fees to Vincenzo Morabito who was hired for the Adebayor job.

If another striker arrives, Borriello will leave.
I think we'll stay this way, even because Pato is considered a starter by Ancelotti, who has declared today that Pato's talent is still almost fully undiscovered.
Adding another striker would close room for Pato, something which the board is not going to do.

Morabito is Adebayor's agent, so we don't owe him anything.

I'm still a tad bit concerned we're lacking that strong physical presence amongst our forwards. Don't get me wrong, it's always great to see Pato play... I still think we need a strong CF that could partner with him...

Either way, the Ronaldinho deal will perhaps be one of the most successful of our mercato...

Unlike Ranieri and Juve, we had some ambition this mercato. They just declared their mercato closed... now, I know that Juve fans are probably in an uproar about that. One crappy signing after another lol...
