Summer Mercato

Agree, MVBasten...i always go there as my "clearing house" for all the sites, and what's the harm in a bit of gossip fun when we all know that it isn't serious?! I never take anything for real until there is official communication on acmilan.com, but we need something to fill our summer months with, besides getting our asses kicked 5-0!

[quote=Warro Bantan;505035]I never told you to stop supporting the club bro...check my post...I said we all have choices...never once did I suggest that you make any...

Then you go to speculate on how big (or not) a fan I am...gimmie a break

Whats the use of getting upset over a preseason friendly? We were already "fighting" for 3rd place in a tournament in Russia for heaven´s sake!...who cares if we won or lost? Obviously not the players...and since they didnt...what to do? Fume, fuss and fight? Not me.
.................................................................................................... ....

I apologize for putting the words in your keyboard I misinterpreted when you said that I have a choice to stop supporting the club or not

So...

I support Berlu because he owns Milan, so if he sells to me it will be thank you and goodbye. I don't care who owns it as long as Milan is winning trophies. Milan was before Berlu, it will be after him.

It is clear that he has "closed the pipe" on injecting money into our favourite club. We all see the problens that we have in our squad, it's impossible for Galliani and Berlu not to see them, especially after even Carlo said that we need Ribery and Toni last year.

The only reason we do not have players to compete for a title is lack of money. Or do you think that we could buy a forward, CD and a goalie, but Galliani really thinks we do not need them. Whose responsibility is that?

I understand that it's his money and if he doesn't want to inject it to his pet club - it's his right. But leading a fiscally clean club will get you only to mid table. And that's not kind of club that Milan is. So invest, or sell.

If you read the index of the page it says: "Goal.com - English football - football gossip - football transfers - football scores". So they report actual official messages from the clubs, they follow matches and give live updates from them _AND_ they report gossip that is roaming the both serious and less serious media around (with an english football focus). Yes there are alot of silly "gossip" floating alot of media, but goal.com decided from the start to not make judgement of how valid a media report is, they decided they will tell you about it, and let the reader decide how valid it is. Obviously a smart choice of them considering how extremely popular they are.

Read goal.com when you want to know everything the media says about Milan without having to visit 50 webpages and look yourself, they do the job for you! If you want solid information you visit the official club webpage and gazzetta. Have fun

AMEN!!!

I agree 100%

Hi everyone after a logn time.
Firstly i i will talk about last friendly with Chelsea.The team was embarasing like the score of the game.
I will say that our team is not ready to win nsomething that year.With Ronnie and Flamini we are ok in midfield, but in defence we are for laugh.We have not any good GK wich is a big must for every top club.Calac,Dida and Fiori are simple crap players. We din't managed to sing Frey or Loris which are top players and we continue with those grannies.After that big shame from our managment for the GK position i will talk about ou defence.Nesta our top and best DC is about 32 and this season he will be 33! he is not the world class Nesta he was in last years, now he is more slow he can't run like before and he is not the old good nesta.Kaladze he is a good DC but not enough for our team + he is 30 and he is a player without future.Janku i don't know if he can play good for us, im not conviced yet from him even if is 3 years with us.Jambro, he is good but he is 31 and he will be 32 this season,.We bought a full back like Oddo without any futrure.He will play one good year like oddo did with us and then he will be the same crap is oddo now.
We bought Ronnie for Attack, Flamini for midfield those are good signs.But in defence and in GK's position we a big crap.I don't ecccept a great sign like barca did with Alves.I dont eccrpt nothing good from a chiken Carlo a stupid Galiani and a president who doesn't want to splash the money and make us a great team like Inter is doing with their team.
I hope us the best but i can't see us winning anything and for that year.

GALLIANI STRIKES AGAIN: " we are strong as we all saw at TIM prophy...Milan will not return to mercato."

In short that was.

Comical really...

Some1 said to me that Kaka and Pato should leave Milan and return when they are ready to finish their playing careers... He was simply trying to tell me that Milan is competing with Qatar for players who r in the twilights of their career.
Our Defenders are old and those who r young are Serie C quality...
Kaka's brother is not a footballer and should b charged for impersonating a footballer...
We need to strengthen our defence in order to build confidence in our attacking players...

Classic..this made my day!
I love you Milan, but we're such a retirement home!

Hey, we finally sign a goalkeeper! (?)

Anybody have more infos about this Felipe?

Well, I think I am close to retirment too, thats why I am making some videos about my playing football. After that I plan to hire an ex-Milan player as my agent and then I should sign with Milan in a few years or two.

I don't know why, but our MGT is really a running joke. I am not jumping the wagon at all, as if u look back at my posts, I stated that months ago, Galli will end up signing a SUPERSTAR and everyone will turn from pissoff to happy and thinks Milan will win it all.... but the truth is that no one SUPERSTAR can help Milan, Milan needs a few of them.

IN some way, I am glad all these injuries are happening and it forces the MGT to either act or really trust in the youth.

Ambro being a CB is actually a pretty good idea AS LONG AS HIS PARTNER IS NESTA.
Thus a new CB, hopefully Zapata is sign.


Favalli and Simic should never play for MIlan again, I mean, Favalli is really crap, I know I am judging from the friendlies and all, but first, Favalli is 35 with no international games over the summer. He should be well rested, fit and one of the most ready players for Milan, instead he is just crap. Simic is another crap story, Kalac/self proclaim #1 can't even make a decent save. Emerson, who claimed he is ready like those Beijing officicals is nowhere to be found on the pitch b.c he is hurt again, I guess when he said he is ready, he was speaking to the nurse about checking into the hospital. Brocchi is a sad joke of a player. And Mr. Seedorf is Mr. Emotional, as he only plays whenever he feels like it. As for Dida, I think with the current GKs of Milan, it would not take much for us to be impress.
In order for Milan to do well, these SINISTER SEVEN MUST LEAVE, but wait they can't leave, b/c nobody wants to sign them esp with their huge contracts.

Quite frankly, Galli can complain all he wants about Serie A teams being in a disadvantages and that Milan is not as rich as other big clubs in the league.....but the truth is that Galli and Co really gave out bad contracts and those bad contracts are causing Milan to suffer.

I am not asking for people's heads here but something must change b/c it just does not make sense of how Milan operates as a club. Now I am not asking Milan to splash 25M for D. Alves, 20M for Adebayor, 20M for Amauri, 20M for Diarra.....but what happened to giving chances to younger players and help them develop. B/c I am pretty sure that if Gourcuff plays here and there with the likes of Pirlo, Kaka, Pippo, Nesta, Maldini, and other main Starting lineups, the quality of the team should not drop that much at all. Why didn't Carlo not done so in the past puzzles me.

Also, why is MGT kept paying top dollars, contract wise, for players that are just crap, like the SINISTER SEVEN?

I really hope, Carlo will play Antonini and Flamini more, as they runs alot off the ball and provides Pirlo more option to pass, and most importantly open spaces for teammates.
Another thing I notice was Janku playing in Seedorf's roles. I really think he should starts playing there as his shot and skills are more suited as a ATM/LM then LB, thats sounds like Serginho now!!!

I just read that Galli stated 'We are the current World Club Champions', gosh, thats not something to brag about since we came from being CL champ to not be in CL within one year. Can he actually lives in reality instead of history!!!!

Esp., that comment was made after the Chelsea's game when the scoreline was 5-0.

I've been away on vacation for some weeks. I left just after Dinho signed and since then no good news have arrived. We seriously need to strengthen our side, especially in central defence, but WE WON'T RETURN TO THE MERCATO:

http://www.goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=805099

I just love the part where Ancelotti says: “Our attack cannot be judged, we have no-one up there and so it cannot be criticised”. You'd think just the fact that we have noone, zero, to fill the spots up front would be worse than having bad players...

I haven't felt this bad as a milanista since we lost to Napoli last season and missed 4th place.

OUT

1st priority : GK--------Kalac definitely & Dida
2nd priority : Defensive Midfielder ----- Emerson & Brocchi
3rd priority : Wing Backs ------ Favalli & Oddo


IN

1st priority : GK ----- Akinfeev / Lloris (Re-sign him from Lyon hheheheh), Hilderband
2nd priority : Central Defence ----- Mexes / Zapata
3rd priority : Central Striker ---- Sheva / Roque Santa Cruz
4th priority : Wing Backs ------ ?????


We really need a heck of a mercato....

And Galliani says we are OK with the team....

LOL

You all started judging Milan and its only the 3rd pre-season friendly, and they were all played in one week, good job.

if Milan fails to do good on Saturday I would start worrying not now

Yes, it's sad to see that some people judge the team after a pre-season match that we played with no striker (Pirlo was the most potentially attacking player on the pitch ...) and almost no starter !!

And if you put a decent GK or Abbiati who is more than decent (he's a good GK, very good/excellent on good days, and regular), the score against Chelsea would have been something like 2-0 or 3-0 in worst cases ...

I'll try to find some messages from people who now say again that our management is crappy (especially messages when we signed Flamini, Zambrotta or Ronaldinho).

Coming back to mercato: report about us interested again for Alex Silva on Calciomercato.
