I am so glad Milan spotted him and now want him.

He was an utter rubbish before Hiddink, but after his arrival had morphed into such a good player.

If I am correct, first time Hiddink put him on the left, he stifled Gerrard to nonexistent; something RM totally neglected to do.

And from what I heard, every time he came onto the BBC, Leonard seemed like a man who likes an attacking, beautiful style of football. All in all, it is beginning tio sound so promising..

Selling Kaka' and rumours of players like Malouda and Ronaldo (just rumours fortunately) makes me being sick ... and if we're going to play with wingers, we don't need 2 wingers but 4 wingers !!

Well, Berlu can just sell the 40% of the club to the interested buyer for 400Mil.
Spend 180Mil on players: Santacroce(15), Zapata(10), Hernanes(20)/Essien(30), Benzema(45) and CR7(70).
And still pocket about 160Mil after repaying the debt.
Then he can sell Kaladze for 5Mil, Seedorf for another 5 mil, Pirlo for 25Mil(as reported), Dida for 1mil and not take up the option of Sheva and Senderous.
Then he will need to sign Mattioni for 6Mil.
With the 15M from Gourcuff sale that will be a income of 45Mil from players purchased and sold.
Add that to the 160mil he already pocketed, it will be 205mil. Not including all the commerical deals, CL revenue....

Dude, I see Berlu have no choice but to sell part of the club.

Gabriel, if you read not my previous post but the one just before (page 207), Berlusconi has many choices. All depends on the way he still loves Milan (or not).

And I'm pretty sure he still loves Milan and will do what he can to make the club being at top of Europe again ...

PS: The best solutions are not often the ones that everyone wants !! Being president of a club doesn't mean doing whatever the fans want but also taking some decisions that can be disliked or hated by the fans who will maybe thank this president 1 or 2 years later if that works (if that doesn't work, he would have to leave the club lol).

Being the top is not an easy job and quite frankly there are a lot of things that unless other people have the whole picture they would think that it is insane to act that way.

What I am suggesting is that,
1. Does Berlu still cares a great deal for Milan? He does or else he would not open his mouth to talk about it.
2. Does Berlu cares about Milan to the point that he is willing to spend huge amount of his own money? At least not these past two years.
3. Selling Kaka is one thing, but would it solves any financial problems? The answer is no. Replacing players like Seedorf/Kaladze and others will.
4. WHo will buy Seedorf/Kaladze/Dida and Pirlo? Chelsea, package a deal for 43Mil for all four of them, since two of them are wanted by Carlo.
5. Can Berlu sells the club and still be in control? Yes.

I understand Berlu will always have to make the tough decision but selling Kaka is not a tough decision, it is a foolish decision.

And in the same time, there are plenty rumours that we could buy a WC striker (last rumours: Eto'o, Villa, costing approximately 30M for each), we could also buy Hernanes (something like 20M), and we could go for a defender (last rumour: we are linked again to Zapata who would cost something like 10M I think).

I was going to say that it's weird as we would remain with a debt of 60M (price of the players bought), I just forgot we sold Gourcuff for 15M, so our debt would approach the 45M ... and with our CL qualification, that will fall to approximately 10M.

(Hypothesis: That means that we can maybe prepare ourselves for another player to be sold during this summer, but who ??)

Anyway, if I understand the situation, that means: we keep Kaka' and keep our team like it is (which like a lot of people said here would be suicidal for the next CL and probably again for Serie A), or we sell Kaka' and reinforce each other department of the team (despite what said Berlusconi) ?

So we would lose Kaka' to have a team of 18-19 players instead of 11, which means we will probably not win the next CL but could do well (and who knows, if Leonardo is an amazing coach ...) but have a better chance to win Serie A.

I tried to see objectively how we could take advantage of such a situation ... and presented like that, it looks like selling Kaka' is the best solution, even if I'm against that sale.

PS: I just tried to think about it with my reason, my head, but of course, the heart says "keep Kaka' !!".

I am pretty certain this is what will happen: Kaka' will be sold, and no one will be bought to replace him.

Ronaldinho will become the playmaker behind two forwards--Pato and Borriello.

City just came in with 90m (sterling) bid to hijack the deal.

Why Goal is solely concentrating on Kaka, and choosing to totally cover up the CR7 developments? Perez has been busy telling the world that CR7 and Villa are next. Why not report them wildly as they do with Kaka?

btw I didn't get the info above from Goal, I got it from the redandblack forum's "knock(something )ned" person. Currently he is on the Kaka thread's last page.

Milan Channel

Kakà dal Brasile: "Tranquilli resto a Milano"

The link was at tuttomercatoweb.com but look like is not anymore

which link? The Milan channel link or something else?

Can u also have the translation when quoting non English, as some of us here really does not understand Italian, nomatter how hard we try.

it means: Calm stay at Milan (straight translation) but I think you can guess what he means.

Tranquilli resto a Milano

Just don't know the word Tranquilli, as resto a Milano, I can pretty much figure it out as rest in Milan.

Hope I'm not slow to the game but Perez has confirmed that Madrid are after Ribery. What the fudge is going on here? They can't be after Kaka AND Ribery..
