Summer mercato 2009

I don't understand how one day Galliani and Berlu can go on TV or on the radio and give the reasons for taking offer for Kaka (because of economic reasons, italian football will lose its stars because it is suffering economically) and then the next day say they would like to get cristiano ronaldo, vidic (25mil) or hernanes (20mil) (not to mention renewing contracts like Ambro's). it just doesn't make sense to me. if there is no money at the club or in the italian league and they have to sell Kaka why are they talking about making big purchases as well.

Also, here is an article about how Liverpool's ownership suffered big losses this year also. However, there is no talk from their management about selling Gerrard or Torres.

Please, no Lavezzi. He is a headcase. He is talented, but not talented enough to put up with all his poor character.
He is the anti-Kaka in that sense.

S.O.S to Sheikh Mansour Please.. !

To be honest, I am loving every moment of this. Seeing all of us here talking about the pros and cons and this and that. How most of us are already cursing Berlu and Galli....
The facts is Kaka is still a Milan player and quite franky, I am not sure about you guys, but if I am 90% sure about a business deal(like how the press is claiming Kaka closed to signing and just waiting for the right moment AKA Monday...) I would make sure already party signuture is on the line or else it is not a deal. SO all these stuff about waiting till Monday, Kaka is in Brazil, Kaka's dad is in Madrid.....so what. The truth is that Kaka said it himself he is staying and if not, I just don't see why they need to wait till Monday.

Then the story of Pirlo, Seedorf and Pato are staying really hearts, as I can't believe Seedorf is still here, why can't him, Dida and Kaladze take the high road and leave the club, or take a 70% paycut to stay.

I really love the story of CR7 and Vidic as I had been saying all along, those are signings that Berlu needs as well as keeping Kaka in order to sell Milan to a higher price. For every Mil he puts in, he can sure get 2-3mil back.

Any more rumors today?

CR7---Pato---Kaka?

WOW!!!

Anything is possible, even only with very small chance.

To me believing in CR7 coming is the same thing as believing Kaka is leaving.

Berlu whispered something into CR7's ears, remember.
And CR7 always said he wants to move on and play in Italy, remember.
Who knows, maybe Briada and Leo already flew to meet CR7's agent in Berlu's private jet(since nobody is using it at the moment).

Oh my gosh, this must be true then, we are signing CR7 and Kaka is staying.

Don't worry, according to my sources(more reliable than Goal.com) (Trust me on that, I had a friend of a friend who knows someone who is dating someone, who is the friend of someone, who is the neighbor of someone who went to the same school of someone who claims to be close to someone who is someone that is also close to someone who lives in Milan), Berlu is just playing with Perez with the Kaka sale in order to get a lower price for CR7 and Vidic of ManU. On Monday he will annouce three things, Kaka as new captain, CR7 and Vidic are our summer signings and sadly, Seedorf will be there too, as he is still WALKING HIS WAY out of San SIro from the Roma game. hahahaha

Something I should have posted here.

I hope that happens!

A sensational but equally evocative voice comes from the United Kingdom, the last hope to remain KAKA at Milan is called Al Maktoum TeleLombardia

I just hope Mr. Makhtoum buys 40% or even higher of AC Milan in order to save both KaKa and the club from its current economic crisis.

the problem is Milan won't use the cash to reinvest in players Galliani is more concerned with limit this year annual loss. in addition if he is trying to limit the budget he want sign many players of stature the reason reason the best way to control costs is to limit the cost of wages. currently milan are running a deficit of 20 million euros a season that is basically kaka ronadihno seedorf and pirlo wages. You may disagree with me on this christian and samaldinho but milan missed a trick in not rejuvenating the squad after the 2007 win. you have to ask for berlusconi to make some serious investment in the team especially when they just won the champions league it gives you a opportunity to limit the cost of transfer fees and wages. my god Milan could have bought torres for 26 million euros nani for 19 million euros dani alves for 22 million euros vidic for 10 million euros any way you get my point. I know its against the family ethic of Milan but we were going to lose cafu and co at the end the season. You can even say 45 lose of funds due to the lack of champions league participation is nothing compared to 100 million budget but consider if Milan got those types on players on the books it is more than likely that Milan could have covered the cost within three season through winning competitions and various merchandise and sponsorship deals. Milan management also went a bit crazy after the world cup in 2006 buying a whole host of older or unproven players to the tune of several millions player like bonera jankulovski and oddo and of course the doomed purchase of ricardo oliviera. I don't complain about galliani ability to sign players and get great deals for the club just his inability to cut costs and run as profitable club. Berlusconi just annoyed me for the simple reason that he has put his family in the Milan hierarchy to represent his interest and control over the policy. now consider this Milan is paying a combined wage plus bonuses of 25 million euros per year to people who aren't qualified or have any experience of running a business. It bit paranoid as well i mean galliani or any of the other non related milan board could have represented berlusconi interests just as well that they are paid to be on the board. I am economist so look at world wondering why family loyalties are more important than efficient staff. in any case you have to admit that berlusconi has the experience the talent and the knowledge to run Milan properly where as his son hasn't really made any cash that wasn't given to him.

I really don't think selling kaka would represent a good long term strategy as it more than likely that the cash would be spent of prestige signing to calm the fans down and not invested where the cash in needed. if you examine berlusconi actions he tends to sign player that he likes kind of like a art collector he sometimes pays the most stunning pieces which have no substance. The cash gained from a Kaka sale could run out I matter of two years with it being spent player that won't have a good influence on the club and also don't have any loyalty to the club. Kaka is a tried and tested rossoneri that is loyal to the club and delivers on a regular basis plus he is of milan biggest earners in terms of sponsorship deals and merchandise. Christian seemed to insinuate that Kaka kick this deal you have to examine the evidence on hand and i fail to come up with the same conclusion. Kaka is still the member of the deal to come out and publicly express this opinions over any possible transfer, what would he gain by saying that he wants to stay at Milan while the trying to organise a move? The management have pretty much blamed anyone else for the kaka real madrid insanity which suggest they are behind kaka leaving and are currently shifting the blame of this move to the player and agent. the motives are pretty straight forward Berlusconi wants Milan to stand on its on two feet so he get on with his preferred pursuits, galliani wants to cash to save for a rainly day and also reduce the wage bill by 9 million euros, leonardo wants the player but would also like the cash to buy his squad. To sum up Milan are selling Kaka because berlusconi wants to pursue politics and young women, galliani wants the cash because he scared that Milan might not have any future transfer funds and leonardo what to build a team in his own image. non of motives are good enough reasons to sell kaka especially since Milan have players who draw a wage and never play.

Great post Johncharles, like you said, if Berlu wants Milan to be on its own feet per se, would selling 40% or even 20% of the club do the trick?
Your argument is sound but you failed to address the consequences of Kaka sell. First, according to your argument, Milan will only spend part of the money from Kaka's sell, heck lets say they even spend all of it. Do you think the player or players that going to come in will cost less than what Kaka's is getting? The answer is no.
Secondly, if they don't spend the money, do you honestly believe that Galli and Berlu and even Leo think that Milan is a stronger team than without Kaka? Are you so keen to really believe Berlu when he said, Milan is full of Champions!!!

Berlu and Galli and even Leo are smart men, they are not stupid, they know that selling Kaka is not the answer to all their problems.

Call me whatever you like, but I still believe that these Kaka rumors are smokescreens for what is the BIG PRESENT/S for Leo and us fans. You might find me joking about the keeping Perez occuply while signing CR7 and Vidic completely non-sense. I just have one question to ask, where is Braida? More importantly where is Leo? Those two are no where to be found and not even being mention at all in the press. If I am a journalist, I would be asking for their view of this Kaka's transfer, and yet, no reports(at least from all the sites that I can dig up), have any words or opinions coming out from Braida and most importantly Leo. Don't you find that strange that NO REPORTER can get a hold of them? While they can always know where Galli is, or where Kaka's father is, or even the full details of what would be the biggest transfer in FOOTBALL history?

Come on guys, until Kaka is present as a RM player, give Berlu and Galli some credits(yes I know they screw up alot but mostly on getting bad players and giving out horrible contracts) and for crying out loud, have some faith.

for me it would be a massive surprise if your theory is correct!

Gabriel, I agree and do think Leo and Braida are out there securing new signings for us, but I really doubt our signings will be CR7 and Vidic, as we'd be forced to spend an insane amount for just two signings. I think we'll think more modestly and will be looking at other players of high quality, but won't cost the same as a mega signing like CR7.

Still, having an attack of CR7, Kaka and Pato would be simply unstoppable if used correctly.
