Summer Mercato

What about our dazzling goalkeeping displays? That is just of a slightly minor concern to me.

I highly doubt that Kalac will start. Abbiati, for now, should be the obvious choice.

And Nesta's injury. And Borriello's injury. And Inzaghi's injury...

Not too worry about Borriello and Inzaghi; maybe Borriello, but Inzaghi is so often that we havec already termed with it.

yes, Nesta's injury is problematic but without Kaka` that's the WORST.

Kaka's, and Nesta's, and to some extent, Pippo's and Borriello's.

Please...there must be some articles/links u can give me to the "Billionaires Weekly" that u must subscribe to in order for u to make these sorts of proclamations.

And don't get me wrong...20yrs of relative success by no means makes u irreplaceable...but please...a short list of billionaires that u can prove have an interest in owning Milan, since they apparently abound in ur neck of the woods.

I know you are smart enough to understand what I was trying to say. I did not post that based on statements of billionaires, but on the fact that a lot of sports teams often change their billionaire owners. When talking about football, we witnessed that in EPL a lot in the last 5 years (Liverpool, ManU, Chelsea, City..) it happens often in the NBA too (Portland, Seattle/OKC, Memphis, Cleveland, New Jersey...). None of these teams waited for too long to find a buyer.

Milan is a special case, even more attractive. Very popular brand name, millions of fans worldwide, I'm sure if Berlu announced the club is for sale, some sheik or russian bussinesman would jump to an opportunity.

The reason you don't hear money-people saying "I'd like to buy milan blah blah..:" is because the ownership of Milan is very stable, and everyone knows Berlu would never sell it.

In Italy, looks like we don't change ownership as easy as in EPL, because Serie A has stronger traditions and that's why I don't like EPL; true values of football are starting to disappear and we see more and more commercialization and industrialization of football which places football second below those. I don't mean to directly reply to Stitch's post; this opinion is only what I think related to that post.

Milan, Inter, Roma, Juventus... all the top 4 clubs of Serie A... remind me when was the last time one of them changed the ownership. Berlusconi is an icon of Milan as Morrati in Inter. No one understands Milan as Berluconi understands Milan.

MILAN: Kalac; Bonera, Maldini, Simic, Favalli; Zambrotta, Gattuso, Flamini, Jankulovski, Pirlo, Ambrosini.

While CHELSEA: Cech; Ivanovic, Alex, Terry, A.Cole; Ballack, Mikel, Lampard; Wright-Phillips, Anelka, Malouda.

thats why we lost
what kind of a formation is this, who did he expect to score. Carletto dissappointed me with this one.

Galliani needs to go and make some purchases and sales, and @least get another striker. Defender and GoalKeeper.


WORD IS
Dida will play the next the game

Problem is nobody can tell how long it takes for Kaka and Nesta to recover! If I name top three players of this Milan, it's Kaka, Pirlo and Nesta. New purchases won't fill the gap, but definitely make the situation less nerve-wracking. With Dinho, I still rank Nesta's injury the most urgent.

He will, if nothing happens (injury, etc.) between now and then.

Ferrari is free and after Chelsea sign young,fast and in shape Robinho we can take traitor Sheva... well that would be some kind of improvement aguess.

Or we can behave like a real club and sign Tiago Silva and a good forward.

Thing is, as a coach he have to say this. He can't go out and say "my players suck, I need new ones" as that wouldn't be good for team-morale especially if those players have to stay. If he have complaints, then those go directly to Galliani.

Besides, I don't think anyone here have not conceded that we need a new CB, I'm not exactly alone in advocating that. For that we need a great one, not another reserve! We got loads of backup CBs, we need someone of real class.

Ferrari is a crap. He won't improve our squad. Bonera, Kaladze are still much better than him. Yes, it would be improvement if we sign him, improvement to the number of players we have and to the number of wages we have to pay but not the quality of our first team player.

With Sheva, I agree.
