Summer mercato 2009

surely, since Ancelotti has insisted on playing a group of central midfielders, with full backs giving width and strikers going wide. the priorities will not be more central midfielder types like hernanes but on getting left and right sided ones as, unless leo wants to play exactly the same way as carlo, he'll need them.

Rating for Montolivo vs us in the last game. This is the same Montolivo I see every time he plays for IT National time. I will borrow a phrase from some forum members here...Montolivo is not "worthy of Milan"

Are u kidding? If there's anyone that plays as close as Iniesta does, its Montolivo...i'm all for him coming here...He's very worthy of milan plus he's italian...he defends attack score...does it all

Guys today when i watched the FSC report about Bordeaux celebration they specifically spoke about Yoann Gouffran scoring d winning goal and that he'll be moving to milan which will force Bordeaux to buying players...I think yoann Gouffran is coming here based on what FSC said......

that sounds like a joke to me. we released the best player of L1, and get back somebody scored 1 or 2 goals a season????

There's something u still don't understand...Gourcuff's case was out of Milan's hands...we knew there were going to be two options which are: whether Gourcuff signed for Bordeaux or he returned.....And it was d FSC spokes man dat said it...His exact words were now "Bordeaux losing Yoann Gouffran this off season will have to buy players this summer."

Paloschi imo is ready. More ready that es, will cover for Pippo till new year. We need 5 strikers min next season. Pato, Pippo, Borreillo, Palo, ??

you dont understand my idea.

i really mean: if we have to buy such a bad player like Gouffran, who scored only 1 or 2 goals a season, we are doooooom!

i dont think we are at that bad level, so i never believe in a rumor like this. Bordeaus should lose that guy to a certain second class club, but definitely not us.

He is still very young and has only few profesional games behind him. In Milan he won't get many chances. I think, for his best it is better for him to stay at Parma for another year, he will play in Serie A next season though.

If he is 23 or 24 right now and even assuming he won't get many games, I am agree with the option to make him the 5th. striker of Milan.

Who the hell is Gouffran?

I think, for his best it is better for him to stay at Parma for another year, he will play in Serie A next season though.

Agreed. The latter is what's most important. It's time to see how he does against the big boys.

If we did get that Gouffran kid, then that would make the whole Gourcuff deal even worse. I have to assume that Gouffran was sent here as a trade in to lower the cash value of the Gourcuff deal. That means, if we insisted on taking hard cash and nothing else, we still could have kept Gourcuff around since Bordeaux doesn't seem like they have the cash to pay for him. And yet, we took some cash (not even enough for that measly 15 m deal) and a prospect who achieved even less than Gourcuff did when he came to us. That is, without a question, a terrible deal for us. Furthermore, if we are tempted to sell off one of our best assets for less than 10m, then we should really consider getting relegated to Serie B because that league seems like the better fit for us.

Ok, so I probably just made a fool of myself with that comment!

I know he won us the Champions League two years ago - it's just I've always thought his goalscoring rate was poor when you bear in mind the fact that he hardly contributes with anything else. I mean, the last time he scored 20+ goals in the Serie A was in 1996/7!

And his diving and running offside all the time, that's just too much.

But of course you're right, he has been an important player for us. Just not my kind of footballer

Ancelotti is officially the new Chelsea manager.

NOw, do you think Carlo will still use the X'mas Tree at Chelsea, if so, then I guess something will never change.

X'Mas Tree at Chelsea

Cech
Bosigna-Terry-Alex-A. Cole
Lampard-Pirlo(Essien swap is too good to turn down)-Ballack
Seedorf(only days till official)-J. Cole
Drogba

If he does that, I will cheer for him just for the fact that he is sticking with the X'mas Tree

Seedorf

Funny thing is that he admitted in his book that Pirlo invented his X-man tree So who knows what Lampard will invent there now.

In any case Carletto will have one hell of a team there, for any kind of formation he wants. Good luck to him, he gave us 2 CL titles, now its enough for him. 2 is enough

About Milan: calciomercato says Milan will go for Essien and Adebayor, who are two primary targets. But to me it looks like Milan picked a man who works well with young players and Milan doesnt need to spend much.

At least we need 3 class players in Hernanes, Mexes and one CF.

And I 100% agree with G.Rossi in Milan. Also a versatile player that can play as a second striker in different roles. It would be a great purchase for Milan, 100%. Also I'd take Abate, useful player.

And we can now even talk about players we will sell: Oddo, Seedorf above all. We already sold Gourcuff and we'll stay without Senderos, Maldini, Favalli ( I doubt ), Sheva. Selling Oddo, Yoan and Seedorf could add some good money to our mercato.
