Summer Mercato

We don't have the extra income, like Giovanni said, to afford another big name. If you look back to a post I made previous, once we qualify for CL next year, we'll get the big name forward I believe. The only way is if we could make money off of Borriello and then get someone. Otherwise, it stays as it is. Plus, management seems to think that Borriello plays the "big forward" role anyway, so I'm pretty sure they think he can do enough for us to make it to 4th. Plus, according to Carlo, Kaka' is a striker so there you go. Is Paloschi staying or has he gone on loan? If he stays, it's Pato, Pippo, Cream-boy, Kaka', and Palo. We'll have WAY too many forwards for Carlo!

Eh. I just missed the bus anyways... I'll be here for another 20 minutes... anyways...

You may be right about the four strikers situation. We may just keep Paloschi in the end. Not that I'm against that... I just still feel we lack that certain presence... but it may be more than fine for now... I just hope it is enough not just for CL qualification, but also the scudetto. But um... cream boy?

Either way, I believe this has been a very satisfying transfer season... there still needs to be a few more adjustments made, but if those are made in the winter transfer season or the next summer one, fine by me.

If our mercato is closed after Dinho, then we can't loan out Palo. We need 4 strikers, primarily because inzaghi, as much as i love the guy, has injury issues. If godforbid he got injured for a long time and we only have Borriello and Pato, we'll have some problems.

And that's why I hope we at least get another striker... as much as I like Paloschi, he's not experienced enough yet and still is very young...

I may even be okay with Sheva coming back on loan... even though I have such distrust... that would be like the last resort thing. I think we'll get Ronaldinho at a good rate, and have money left over.

I hav lost count of many times i have logged onto internet today! We are on the verge of the signing a genius! We better not mess up on this now!

With the possible signing of Ronaldinho, we do need a 4th striker that is willing to sit on the bench and be called upon when needed. Shevchenko on loan at reduced wages seems like a good idea. Another idea I've pondered on is to have Paloschi start the year with us and depending on how injuries or playing time goes then send him on half a year loan in January. Then at a serious reduced wages bring back Ronaldo hopefully back from injury and weight issues. I know its hard to count on him because of his past, but he seems to love Milan and the teammates show the same affection in return. Having a Ronaldo as your 4th striker doesn't seem like a bad idea for me but I would understand if people were skeptical about bringing him back.

Based on your choices, I'd go with Sheva. If we can get him via a cheap loan, then there's no risk. Either he goes back to the Sheva of old, or he rides the pine next to Dida...

the meeting is over, Barca & Milan will meet tomorrow.
Just a couple of details:
- tomorrow, Galliani will miss an important Lega Calcio reunion : it is happened the same only for the Rivaldo affair.
-Milan arrived without the lawyer Cantamessa, who is arriving tomorrow.

Bronzetti said, Mediaset Tv source live

is anybody watching this fiendly game on eurosport? "Edu vs Cation" , whatever that means. Gattuso and Seedorf play in opposing teams.

I'm warming to an idea of signing Michael Schumacher he play for the "Edu" team. If I didn't know better, I could swear he was a retired football player. He plays great

I don't think Dinho will play for City--Galliani (tuttomercato)

I love the 4-3-2-1. When played correctly like barca in 2005 it can be absolutely beautiful. But we need a strong cf to do so. Hopefully borriello can be him. But I have my reservations

TheGuardian's take on this transfer is so biased towards Man City, it isn't funny, but I guess the Italian press are reporting the deal going in Milan's way on similar sentiments.

After I read the article (sorry no link, but its on their main page, can't miss it) I felt as if Man City had only to print the name on his shirt for all to be ready to welcome him to the EPL.

Fascinating the way the same information, with a few recycled quotes from Man City suits, can make R10's move to Man City almost a foregone conclusion...while even some of the more sceptic fans on this very site, are already drawing up formations for R10's "imminent" arrival, based in Italian press reports.

Silly season...yah gotta love it!

Chelsea is making a play for Dinho. It goes to show you that a price can only come down so much for a player of Dinho's quality. Milan might have to reach a little deeper in their pockets to make this happen.

Goal is rubbish, and the paper that article cites "The Sun"... is rubbish too. My take is this, if Chelsea keep Lampard they would have no reason to go after Ronaldinho.

It's just another article from that laughing stock of a website. heh..

Edit: Rubbish compounded.

Eto'o is moving to..... not England... not Italy... not Germany.... but... UZBEKISTAN!

http://www.goal.com/en-US/Articolo.a...enutoId=776298

Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o has been audaciously linked with Uzbekistani outfit Kuruvchi, but the Catalan club have already moved to deny any such deal...

Goal.crap is more like the name....I don't see why Chelski would bid for R10 and Robinho...whom theGuardian states is the subject of a £48M bid or some such figure.

Madrid though, won't sell him, unless they get C.Ronaldo...

Well...I am going to sleep on that note...its getting a little ridiculous at this point.

I think both of them are R10... are they not? ...
