Summer Mercato

If we are just going to sign another squad player, why would we drag one over from Russia or England or I don't even know from where. Just give Darmian the number and that's it. He won't play more then a few times a season (how many times did Simic play?). There is no reason to pay a few million of transfer fees + salary for a squad player. I hope these Senderos rummors are just another crap piece of news.

About our transfer market plans.......I think Ronaldinho was always on top of them. Just because the management said something about a strong striker doesn't mean that they gave up on Ronaldinho and then only got him as a last resort because he became available. Quite honestly, I don't believe a word Galliani and the management say anymore because I really think that they are lying with every single breath. As a matter of fact, Adebayor in my oppinion was just something to show Barcelona that we are not going to accept their demands for Dinho and that we are looking at different options. The whole talk about how we don't need Dinho was the same thing. I think he was always our first option simply because Berlusconi wanted him. The rest was just empty talk. That's the way I see it.

I know you were just making a joke, but FYI, Kaladze had a brother who was murdered several years ago by kidnappers.

And I think that's the way it is ...
Galliani loves to speak in medias, it's a fact, so even if he has nothing to say, he'll speak in medias !! The fact is that there is often a strategy behind his declarations.

And like some of us said at the beginning of this mercato, even if we get all the best players in world, some here will be unhappy as they are right now.

Come on, we have improved each part of our team !! Then, success or failure, only time will say, but on paper, we're better this year than last year or two years ago ...
And for people claiming that our mercato is not good for long-term, it's the same people who claim that we need a good team immediatly ... so there is something strange with that: we want long term prospects + immediate success, I don't know any team able to do that.

And if some people tell me MU, Real, Barcelona, or teams like that, let's take their current line-up today and let's see what is their line-up in 2-3 years.

This is a classic letter that someone wrote in today to football365.com- I spit my coffee out laughing!

Acciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid
Am I tripping on acid, or are AC Milan refusing to rule out buying Phillipe Senderos. PHILLIPE SENDEROS.

Is there another AC Milan playing in the scottish 2nd division, perhaps?
Alex Ferrer, AFC

The sooner the trapdoor to the mercato is closed, the better. Big ups to Pato for saying we'd win the scudetto!

Obviously that didn't cross my mind as I wrote that post; had I remembered that tragedy, I would never have written such a thing. I appologize to anyone who might've taken offense.

to all the Senderos haters - watch Milan - Arsenal game from last season CL again,
I might even have the link for the whole match

Even bad players have good games every now and then. Now, I don't count Senderos among the truly bad players, but there's a reason why he known as error-prone. I don't watch Arsenal a lot, but even I can think of around a dozen of those "Senderos-moments".

And If he struggles in the not-so-technical EPL, how will he cope in Serie A?

And I'm not a "Senderos hater" - I just don't wan't him at Milan .

MILANELLO - Here is the medical situation of Milan as explained by doctor Massimo Manara to Milan Channel's microphones.

MALDINI AND KALADZE: "Friday they will probably coach with the group, I think they are both available for Sunday's match in Gijon."

NESTA: "Yesterday he started the rehabilitation with our physiotherapists Roberto Morosi and Bill Tillson, he also did some work in water. Both Jean Pierre Meersseman and I visited him and I have to say the situation is under control, his condition hasn't worsened, which is a good sign."

KAKÁ: "He is working very well, today he ran on a special carpet we have available. The results are good, then we will see the results on the pitch. His situation is clearly improving."

BORRIELLO: "We are at a good stage, the idea is to have him available for the second league game, considering that for the first he is suspended. There's all the time necessary to arrive at a complete healing."

EMERSON: "Today he started a normal work with the group, we still have to wait for a special something because he is playing with a nail in his thibia."
------------------------------------------------------------------------

so in short, Boriello is ok and soon will play normally, Emerson we dont care about... But Nesta and Kaka' do not look like playing at high level soon

I dont get why people dont want Senderos?

I assume that almost everybody saw Milan-Arsenal when Senderos played because Toure was injured.That guy played a perfect match,he is young and has so much talent.He can be just like Ivanovic a top defender in the future.So what is wrong with him...

Sheva isnt coming,well that isnt bad news,if he had come i would be happy with it because that would mean that Paloschi would be loaned.Ancelotti said that he would maybe be loaned in January for a half year.

I hope Senderos will come because Nesta isnt making progress.

Senderos is probably just another rumour allowing the media to sell stories.

Senderos only played for Arsenal when either Gallas/Toure were injured or when someone else was injured and Toure played at RB.

Admittedly he has had some decent games but as stated before he is prone to error.
More importantly he doesn't handle big strong forwards well, he is intimidated by them it seems.

Hows he going to handle Trezeguet, Amauri, Ibrahamovic, Adriano or even Gilardino in a physical battle?

More importantly, how did Darmian play in the Trofea Moretti?

From what I read, Milan didn't concede and it wasn't from a lack of trying on Juve's part.

Friendly match or not, if Darmian could hold off Del Piero and Amauri surely he can do the job while Nesta is injured?

We have this young talent in our squad, perhaps its time to show some belief in them?

And if you watch the Sevilla - Arsenal group game from last season played in Spain, you will see him totally dominated by Freddie Kanoute.

I think its to early for Darmian,i think that we have to let him make some minutes is the squad and then next summer we have to loane him out to a small club in Serie A so he can develop quicker like Paloschi,the same go's for Albertazzi.Paloschi is ready to be loaned,Darmian en Albertazzi have to wait a season.Viudez isnt going to play much so loaning him is the best option.

You are right,we should belief in them,but they are not going to play much at us so loaning them is better.

Juventus isnt making a good impressione on me in the pre-season,i dont think they are ready for the Scudetto
