Summer Mercato

minus the sexual gratification

I've been waiting for this day... I've always liked Ronaldinho, even though I've been recently skeptical... but I got faith in him... because he seems to love Milan! This is a day to celebrate like Brazilians...!

ENOUGH!

THIS IS A TIME TO BE HAPPY BECAUSE WE GOT RONALDINHO! I'm supposed to BE HAPPY, not angry.

Because some of your opinions are not substantiated (at least ini some people's eyes).

Also, it's a natural thing here IN THIS FORUM that we respect other fans coming, even if they made some comments which are not pleasing to Milan fans.

Because that is class.

Giancarlo I love you man....Barca fans are amazingly ungrateful
Messi? What did Messi give them when R10 was out? What did Messi accomplish with the National Team? Where was Messi in the Copa America with a severely weakened Brazil? Where was Messi in the return Leg vs Getafe with his supposed wonder goal scored in the first leg? Where was Messi during Barca's second CL title? Where was Messi the last time Brazil had Kaka and he stole the ball from him then ran the length of the pitch beating everyone then scoring ? Where was Messi vs ManU?

And if you could say that Barca owed the CL to Larsson then there's no point talking to you further.

1 of my best friends text'd me ruining my day "if i were you i wouldnt be celebrating signing another older injury prone player"




then again, he supports arsenal. the ultimate 'theres always next year.. look at new young talent we signed!' :-D

couldnt agree more. but hey messi is white and from barca youth system. he's a 'converted catalan' Xavi, iniesta, puyol do no wrong in barca. Dinho, ronaldo, romario, rivaldo, maradonna..... crap. run outta town


edit: messi is an exrordinary talent. but he's only 21. He is not NEAR dinho's level yet 1 day possibly

They are substantiated, but I'm not going to get into that. I do not like Barca fans because I've seen how they are in person. Eto'o doesn't even take his family to stadium to watch games anymore because of the racist chants.

I'll show class, but I'm going to celebrate... and no one, NOT a soul, will derail my happiness!

Official word on the transfer is expected by this evening, so Ronaldinho can be presented to the media for the start of Milan's pre-season training on Wednesday

We have enough time to get better players than Ronaldinho; that's the thing about football, you get better footballers all the time, for near enough the same money and will be younger.

Please, Ronaldinho was not the reason we won the Champions League. Need I remind you, the guy went missing in the Champions League semi-final and final. The person that won us it was Larsson, so don't go on like Ronaldinho is some kind of God or something!

We're on a collapse? What the heck are Milan on? They didn't even qualify for the Champions League. We had a poor season and still finished 3rd and made it to semi-final of a Champions League and lost to the winners.

We took that 20 million euros because we're desperate to get rid of him. You know why that is? He's not the same player he once was, and never will be again. I guarantee you!

Your memory is lacking with Messi. Messi has scored quite a few goals against Madrid last season, so you're way off the mark. And your response was to try to fuel a reaction out of me. I obviously think Kaka is a great player, so I won't simply call him overrated just because someone's stating the truth about Ronaldinho when you're trying to get a reaction out of me. So don't go around making stupid remarks like Messi's an overrated when it simply isn't true.

I would like to say, I hope you cream us in the Champions League, but you're not even there.

1) He promises to lose weight but Barcelona never helps him to lose weight.

2) Better players than Ronaldinho.. umm... ok... but this is classic from Barcelona: We are getting better players all the time. And yet?

3) I wish you were right that Ronaldinho is the person not responsible for the win, but I still remember how he passed superbly to score against Milan in San Siro... Then Milan would have won yet another champion league .

4) No disrespect to Spain, but I don't even think that the Spanish league is close to that of Serie A. Premier League will top the list.

5) Milan is not participating in CL next year, that's the truth. Milan has won 6CLs in the past, while Barcelona? That's also the truth.

6) Milan has a history of keeping the players as long as they want (with a few exceptions), while Barcelona has a history of selling their best players. At the end of the day who performs better in Europe and more prestigious?

7) IT's funny how people make fun of Milan when Milan is not in CL. Milan players and fans, however, have the DNA in their blood probably not to even retort such baby crying, knowing too well who are the more successful team in Europe.

Cheers - J

yea, actually Milan has a pretty bad history with "finished" players(especially Brazillian players)

I've been to both Barcelona and Milan. While Milan has its clubs and such, it's more rigid than Barcelona, and is a very business oriented conservative leaning city. Barcelona is party, party and party... I've been there. It's no wonder why he lost form... Barcelona is way too lax.



Like who? Your team has spent nearly 65 million Euros on players, with neary 30 million of that blown on a useless Dani Alves. Trust me, you won't get any replacement for Ronaldinho. No one.



This is incorrect. He was a key player in that and not to mention he was man of the match of the 2006 CL Final. Don't bad talk someone that gave you a CL trophy.



You had a poor season and still ended up in 3rd because you have a poorly competitive league. The Serie A is extremely competitive and one slip-up can cost you dearly. It doesn't matter if we didn't qualify for the CL... we will be back with will like Bayern.



This is false. Totally false. He will regain his form because he will have a renewed view on his career...



Clearly he is overrated.



We will be back in the CL. Take my word on that one.

Clearly Ronaldinho can win you the Champions League on his own, because he's that damn good. You don't even need a goalkeeper, defence or midfield because of him being that damn good. Heck, take the goalkeeper out, too. He can play everywhere because he's damn good.

Yeah, we also like to smash our fans with bottles and bricks as well. Oh.... wait!

That's the thing, Barcelona like to waste money on ****ty players, one being Ronaldinho. We waste our stupid money. And we seem to let them go to your team when they're past it. Damn us!

You're right. Serie A is the only competitive league out there. It sure has its scandals, I can tell you that. Where were all the all the Italian teams in the Champions League semi-final and final again?

You're right about Ronaldinho having a new way of looking at his career; he will get to explore more bars and restaurants in Milan. You're definitely need to get the whip out for this guy at training.

Of course you'll be back in the Champions League. Your league reminds me of the Scottish league; there's only like 2 decent in there, so it's pretty easy to. I was looking forward to Ronaldinho scoring that hattrick passed us as well. Damn!

Excellent...

And one other thing... before anyone decries me as being anti-Spanish... heh... I'm half Spanish, half Italian... half of my mom's family is Catalan. But lets not get into that.

I didn't say he was that. I clearly have been a long time advocate for many other players to join Milan, including Cristian Zapata, Fabio Quagliarella, Pavyluchenko... etc. We have reinforced our midfield and defense. There could be a few more tweaks made, but this have been an EXTREMELY satisfactory transfer season for us.

Abbiati is fine, but I agree with people on here we need a new keeper (that will come later probably in the next transfer window).

You're right. Serie A is the only competitive league out there. It sure has its scandals, I can tell you that. Where were all the all the Italian teams in the Champions League semi-final and final again?

And the La Liga doesn't? Where were all the Spanish teams? Where was Barcelona? You got lucky to get as far as you did. By the way if I remember Real Madrid, the La Liga champions, were beaten by Roma in a trashing 4-2... even beaten in their own turf 2-1 by Roma.

You're right about Ronaldinho having a new way of looking at his career; he will get to explore more bars and restaurants in Milan. You're definitely need to get the whip out for this guy at training.

Milan is NOT a party atmosphere. If you've ever been there you would know what I mean.

Of course you'll be back in the Champions League. Your league reminds me of the Scottish league; there's only like 2 decent in there, so it's pretty easy to. I was looking forward to Ronaldinho scoring that hattrick passed us as well. Damn!

That's not correct. We have actually six teams that are fighting for the 4 spots...

By the way if you want to talk about class... I posted a get well thread for a former Barca player, Lilian Thuram..

http://www.milanmania.com/forums/sho...d.php?p=501149

while i think giancarlo is exagerrating with 6 teams. milan, inter, roma and juve r perenial powers.... anytime a team pushes up its anarchy uptop.


spain on otherhand only have barca and real madrid.... .sure atletic, villareal, valencia and some others r good... but they r cyclically good. just like fiorentina or napoli or sampdoria or lazio etc. they arent year in year out top 4. In italy, those 4 r always at top 4.... anytime 1 of the 'midtable teams' puts together a good team, its insane.

Barca freefell at end of season and didnt even effect them falling past 3rd

sad little boy!

I thought barca fans were more smart than this, this is something an inter fan would say.
