Summer Mercato

Besides if we end up playing 4-2-3-1, we won't play all of them anyway.

Weighing up form & fitness, Flamini is still better than the pair of them. Playing him at RB (because we don't have a true back-up player now Oddo's gone) is just a complete waste. Why not play Ambrosini or Gattuso at RB?

mrki, sorry to say Corluka joined Spurs for just £8.5 million!

I agree with u on the fact that why must they play, but u and I both know that Carlo will always play them instead of other players. Lets hope Carlo won't do so this year.

It makes you wonder if Carlo would still play Flamini at RB if he had a proper right-back to cover Zambrotta.

If we're to get anywhere this season, Flamini's energy in midfield is going to be vital.

Check out Chievo buying Kerlon, that's quite something. Can't wait to see what he can bring to Serie A.

yeah I am so surprised how'd he go to Chievo. Also nice to see Diego Millito back at Genoa. A Romanian star Moti has signed with Siena too. There has been ALOT of transfers today.

Milan Leave Nesta Out Of UEFA Cup
Milan have confirmed their squad for the 2008/09 UEFA Cup competition and Alessandro Nesta will not be taking part.
»Comments (28) Print This Story Send To A Friend Contact Us galleria zoom The former Italian international has been suffering from a back problem which wasn’t thought to be serious, but he was not included to play for the Rossoneri in Europe.

This has led to rife speculation that Nesta will be out of action for the whole season and that he may even consider retirement.

Milan have always stated the back problem was nothing to dangerous but leaving Nesta out seems to suggest that something is not right.

The rest of the team makes the list and old war horses like Paolo Maldini and Giuseppe Favalli have been included by Carlo Ancelotti.

Here is the 25 man squad which the club have submitted to UEFA:

Goalkeepers: Dida, Abbiati, Kalac.

Defenders: Maldini, Kaladze, Zambrotta, Jankulovski, Favalli, Senderos, Bonera, Darmian, Pasini, Antonini.

Midfielders: Emerson, Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Flamini.

Strikers: Pato, Inzaghi, Seedorf, Borriello, Kakà, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho.

The Rossoneri will be challenging for the UEFA Cup this term and they are amongst the favourites to win the tournament but they will need to find some form after a poor start to Serie A.

Ladies & Gentlemen - I am inviting you to fill out this less-than-5-minute survey for me. This is just a pilot study (i.e., not used for any commercial or publication purpose) that I am doing for my class.

If you are a student (and never have any work experiences), please do not fill this out! If you are a student but have some kinds of work experiences, please help! I truly appreciate your response.

Cheers,

What type of study is this?

Thanks to you all! I have PMed you for your questions etc...

Done Jeff.

That's it, summer mercato 2008 is over!

Right, who do we need for the winter mercato?

Yes, Jim. Of course. I think we need new thread right now.

Maybe it wouldn't be as 'hot' as this thread but still be favorite one.

why new? let's just rename this one to Winter mercato like we did with the last one.

This UEFA Cup list only covers the first 2 stages of the competition, teams get to submit a new list in the new year to take advantage of the winter transfer window.

Reports that Nesta will be out for the season or even retire are ludicrous. He's on course for a return at the end of the month and not playing in the UEFA Cup means he'll only have to play in Serie A once a week. Not playing midweek means he'll have plenty of time to recover from games and build him up nicely for the new year.

I've taken the survey too

Seedorf is listed as a striker on our official site as well... I simply failed to understand why we are considering a quintessential midfielder as a striker!!!
