Not exaclty, its gonna be the same over again....dont bring back this kid, until seedorfs retires.

^^^ I agree his talent will be completely wasted here. If he wants to leave Bordeaux at the end of this year, it'd be better for his career if we went to somewhere like Lyon or something.

In other news...Huntelaar scores AGAIN for The Netherlands. I think he has something like 8 goals in 13 games for the Dutch NT ?

^^ My friend told me it's 10 in 15...really ridiculous strike rate.

Milan, rotta su Mexes
Il romanista torna obiettivo rossonero

Non è una novità, nemmeno nel caleidoscopico mondo del calciomercato: il Milan evidenzia in Philippe Mexes uno dei principali obiettivi della prossima campagna acquisti estiva. Il ritiro (sempre probabile, mai sicuro) di Paolo Maldini e i frequenti guai fisici dei difensori rossoneri, da Nesta a Kaladze, fanno sì che il club pensi a un forte difensore centrale: e il romanista, già contattato l'anno scorso, è in prima fila.

L'operazione, come ovvio, non si presenterebbe certo come una delle più agevoli. Tanto per cominciare, bisognerebbe verificare la volontà effettiva di Rosella Sensi, combattuta tra la logica tecnica (che presume l'incedibilità di un giocatore come Mexes) e quella del bilancio, argomento che la Roma non può mai permettersi di ignorare. La politica della presidente giallorossa, da quando si trova al timone della società, è stata quella della cessione di un grosso calibro all'anno per finanziare le campagne di rafforzamento. Due anni fa toccò a Chivu, l'estate scorsa a Mancini (entrambi finiti all'Inter) e nel giugno 2009 potrebbe toccare a Méxes.

Certamente non verrà via gratis, nè a prezzo di saldo: il francese vale almeno 20 milioni di euro, o in contanti o con qualche contributo in carne e ossa. Il Milan ha parecchia merce da mettere sul piatto: un difensore per un difensore, ovvero Bonera, oppure Jankulovski, che consentirebbe a Spalletti di avere un prezioso esterno in più, o addirittura un Borriello, vecchio pallino dei giallorossi, nel caso in cui la stagione del ritorno all'ovile rossonero non gli regalasse il giusto spazio.

Alla fine, come sempre, conterà molto anche la volontà del giocatore. Il cui rapporto con Roma e la Roma si è leggermente incrinato a causa di vicissitudini private (il mini-rapimento della figlia la scorsa estate, mentre lui era in ritiro) e professionali (qualche screzio con Spalletti). Nel caso il diretto interessato non provveda con un po' di stucco a rimettere tutto insieme, il Milan è pronto a vestirsi da Diavolo tentatore.

no i mean consigli goalkeeper cigarini is midfielder and i dont like him.gourcuff is twice better player than that italian

Since lot's of you guys keep talking about Huntelaar, I would like to focus your attention to 21 year old Moussa Dembele from AZ Alkmaar.
I don't think we need him immediately but this certainly a player we could use in the very near future. To be honest it's such a player we wanted this summer before we brought in Borriello.
He is a young strong forward that can hold a ball perfectly and dribbel extremely well. Those of you who followed the Olympic games should recall him as well for his game against Italy.
Despite he doesn't score that often as Huntelaar he is considered a way bigger talent than Huntelaar is, in the Netherlands and that as a Belgian player since dembele isn't the goalpoaching type. (Ronald de Boer who trained with him even called him the biggest talent in Europe)
I think he could line up perfectly with Pato or Paloschi. Real wanted him 2 years ago but he refused to go coz he wanted to play games, imho a wise decision, each year he plays better and better.

I'm not a very big fan of clipshows (you could even make a clipshow of my world class moves but unfortunately I'm not that good ). But I would like to show you this.

Nice koeke...thanks for the info. Hope he's already on Ruud Gullit's list Big and strong, yet has nice techniques with his feet

I would take Santaccroce/Zapata over Mexes.

maybe not well related but still worth to read, it's about Crespo. Nice thing tho what he said about our coach. I still wondering why Milan not done enough to keep him @ via Turati. He did well for us and the partnership with Shevchenko worked nicely.

Crespo: Inter ruined my career Saturday 11 October, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hernan Crespo has blasted Inter for effectively freezing his career for six months, but won’t blame Jose Mourinho.

The Argentine was left off the Champions League list and has so far played for only 21 minutes this season.


“I am not angry with Mourinho. He is a great Coach, it’s just that my case should’ve been dealt with better, there’s no doubt about that” he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.


“Nobody explained to me the reasons behind my exclusion from the Champions League side. I am not a kid and can understand things.


“I train every day, put the effort in and try to get the attention of the Coach. Then he makes the choices and I respect them, because that’s the way I was taught.


“I have never dreamed of protesting against a tactician’s decisions and I’m not going to start now. Having said that, I would like to play a few more minutes of football.”


Crespo had already run into problems with Mourinho when they were at Chelsea, but his escape to Inter for more playing time backfired when the Portuguese boss took over.


“I like Mourinho, he is a great teacher of football, just like Marcelo Bielsa was for me in Argentina. Bielsa was less of a showman than Mourinho, but they have similar characteristics in that they continually rehearse movements and tactics.


“Mourinho isn’t my ideal Coach, no, but he is good. My ideal tactician, and everyone knows it, is Carlo Ancelotti. I have a rapport with him that goes beyond football. I like the way he faces each situation and treats the squad after every win or a defeat.”


Crespo turned down Milan to join Inter after his brief return to Chelsea, but he seems set to move on again mid-season with Roma and Sampdoria possible candidates.


“We’ll see what happens, I’ll make my decision in January. I am 33 years old, so I have to consider many elements. I certainly still feel like a player and therefore want to play. If I am locked down here, then I’ll seek another solution.


“I don’t know about clubs interested in me and don’t want to talk about it right now. The only thing I will say is that I don’t want to be in the stands any more. That’s not too much to ask, is it?”

wow.. thats some crazy moves... ended with sharp shots !

thx for the links

Dembele is a decent player but I don't think he's good enough for a first team place at Milan and not that tall, only about 5,7. Huntelaar is sheer quality and would be a great sigining for us. He can link the play and is a proven scorer.

im still a big fan of boruc as milans first keeper.

we really do need a clinical finisher like huntelaar to replace pippo.
