Summer mercato 2009

FORAZ MILAN!!!! Milan was, is and will continue to be a great club... Many of us will be upset and sad if Kaka leaves... it would feel as if the heart and soul of Milan died... but we are the heart and soul of Milan... Who would want to see a loved one go... broken heart!!! we would not forgive those responsible for the separation... only if they get us an immediate treble season... and pretty soon we will forget about Kaka...
on the other hand ... if Madrid are trying hard to force kaka from us i hope they get the most out of him as did Chelsea with Sheva...

The heart and soul of Milan retired last Sunday.

hmmm I've always thought Kaka was staying for sure. They were all in harmony when they were saying we have to sell Kaka...however Berlusconi said today that "we might not even sell Kaka"... that is the only "odd comment" from what we have been hearing in the recent week.

This saga reminds me of City - Kaka in January..Kaka's always so quiet, don't you find it at least strange? (most likely Galliani+Berlusconi are telling him to be quiet, because they have a plan in place, keep in mind that Berlusconi knows exactly how the media works).

Do not worry about Kaka's relations being harmed with Milan, because Kaka is very close to us and I'm sure he knows exactly what their intentions are. It really is wierd how Kaka says he wants to stay and then Galliani and Berlusconi come out and say we have to sell him, we MUST sell him. Also Kaka's father was with Galliani at the Florentino Perez' dinner, so that means the father is still friends with Galliani no matter what the club have been saying, so the respect still exists.

All that added together really leads me to think that this is all a plan for something. Berlusconi likes to play with our feelings and hearts, one time I will eventually get a heart attack. That was my theory.

When are the elections for Berlusconi? How often are the elections in Italy?

Here (in Italian) is the story where Silvio says he has doubts that Kaka will be sold or something like that:

Kakà al Real? Berlusconi ancora ha dubbi: "Non è ancora detto che parta"
"Domenica decideremo il futuro di Ricky".
05/giu/2009 19.51.05

Continua la telenovela Kakà. Quando sembra che non ci sia ormai più nulla da fare, che il campione brasiliano del Milan abbia la maglia del Real Madrid praticamente già indosso, ecco che arrivano ventate di speranza per i tifosi rossoneri.

Intervistato da Milan Channel, questo pomeriggio, Silvio Berlusconi, ha acceso il dubbio che la cessione non sia così sicura. "Domenica avremo un vertice di mercato - ha detto il patron rossonero - nel quale decideremo il futuro di Ricky. Non è ancora detto che parta".

Parole che fanno sperare i tifosi del Milan e che riportano alla memoria, in un certo qual modo, quanto accadde lo scorso gennaio, quando sempre Kakà fu sul punto di essere ceduto al Manchester City e all'ultimo momento non se ne fece più nulla, grazie alla mobilitazione dei tifosi, come avvenuto anche in questi giorni, e alla ferma convinzione dello stesso giocatore di voler rimanere in rossonero, decisione che questa volta però è sembrata essere meno ferma.

And the best I can do is IM Translator (Hassan, if you're still around....)

Kakà to Real?

Berlusconi still has doubts: "It is not yet said that it starts" "Sunday will decide the future of Ricky".

05/giu/2009 19:51:05

The Kaká telenovela continues. When it seems that there is now nothing more to do, that the Brazilian champion Milan has the jersey of Real Madrid almost before wearing, that's coming wave of hope for fans rossoneri. Interviewed by Milan Channel this afternoon, Silvio Berlusconi, has turned the doubt that the sale is not so sure. "Sunday we will have a summit of the market - said the patron rossonero - which will decide the future of Ricky. It has not yet said that it starts."

Words that give hope the fans of Milan and back to memory, in a way, what happened last January, when Kakà was always on the verge of being sold to Manchester City and at the last minute if they did not anything, thanks to the mobilization of supporters, as happened in these days, and the firm conviction of the same player to remain in rossonero, a decision that this time, however, seemed to be less firm.

Again I will say this. Berlusconi is leading by a landslide in the polls. I posted a link a few pages back.

It is unclear why Berlusconi is doing this. If Berlu wins, then I suspect he may announce that Kaka' is staying, adding to the euphoria.

However, we shall see. We can only pray.

Whether Kaka stays or goes, it's a win-win situation for Berlu.

Kaka leaves, he pockets the money. Kaka stays, he looks like a hero once again.

Slimeball.

AC Milan President Berlusconi Counting On Ronaldinho

AC Milan look like they are on the verge of losing Kaka to Real Madrid, but president Silvio Berlusconi has promised that the squad will be competitive in 2009-10, regardless of what happens to their star man.

"AC Milan will conduct business in the market in order to be competitive with Inter," he told the Milan Channel on Friday.

However, Berlusconi is certain that current squad member Ronaldinho could be part of the answer to their problems. The Brazilian had an inconsistent first season at the San Siro, but the Rossoneri supremo believes he can turn things around.

"I have great faith in Ronaldinho, he has sacrificed like many other champions," he continued.

"In the end he was demoralized, but when he was on the pitch he always gave to those that paid the ticket. He is young, in tact, next season we will focus on him."

Ronaldinho made 29 appearances in Serie A, scoring eight goals in the process.

Writing on the wall?

Berlusconi wants to build the team around Ronaldinho. If he can get fit maybe he can do very well for us. Notice how Dinho's agent has kept quiet in the last few days. They have probably been told that next year we are building the team around Ronaldinho. But again, why sell a proven player and pin your hopes on a player who is struggling to regain his erstwhile form?

Guys what are d odds that should Kaka get sold to Madrid this summer, next season we win a treble?

R80 is not done. Why have people shut him out. Like Blanc opened up Gorky, Leo will open up r80.

Its beautiful to watch him play and he has a great connection with Pato. Im actually really pumped to see them in July in California. Im hoping for a good year..

Forza Milan!!!

P.S Are any of you slowly getting over this kaka news? In the begining i was stressing but now im like ok life goes on Milan will always go on.

I bet that's one reason why Carlo leaves / is sacked.

he simply refuses to play an unfit Dinho.

So what do you think of building a team around Ronaldinho?

Building a team around Ronaldinho is not a risky proposition....if u think he can reclaim fitness and form...

Another reason is playing an unfit Seedorf for the past 2 years.

I had been saying it all along, Kaka will stay and all of us will be happy.... Look at how the mood had changed since the press stated Kaka is leaving. First a lot of you were piss off, then the more Galli opens his mouth, the more piss off you guys were, then when Berlu said, we might not need to sell Kaka, everyone is happy now.... You guys are making it too easy for Berlu and Galli.

Why not, I don't trust Dida and most importantly, he no longer believe in himself like he used to.

The defense had nothing to do with it, just watch the Roma game again.
And quite frankly, if Gila is actually a better finisher, the result of our last game might be very different.
