Honestly IMO Dzeko will only be slightly better than Borriello if he goes to Milan, unless he is not supported with quality midfield...

He's been linked to everyone, most notably Juve. If Juve are really getting him, D'Agostino and Dossena (well, I don't rate him too highly personally) then they're building quite a squad it seems.

The news I reported is really true it was reported by local media. Galliani came to Sarajevo to meet with Dzeko's manager.

Actually, Zvone, Dzeko is taller than Borriello (193cm). He has a very good header and great "feel" for the goal, with both feet. He's not your typical target man who stands in the box waiting for the ball. He has some dribbling skils, and great shot from about 12-16 metres.

I've been watching him a lot this season, and I believe he will be a great fit with Pirlo, if he ever regains his form, which I hope he will under Leonardo.

Good one!

hey at least dzeko is a better option than adebayor plus he is apparently a ac milan fan when he was a boy. you guys are right a quality midfield needs to be put in place to back up any striker. some player that might prove open to a move to new club are valencia hernanes Douglas Costa david silva inler diaby lucas malouda hamsik elano and mendez. personally i think Leonardo should force the recall of abate paloschi and di gennaro to fill in the midfield and offensive gaps left by gourcuff and maybe kaka and shevchenko leaving. times like this i wish leonardo albertini and weah were all 15 years younger.

Even if Milan doesnt sell Kaka' in the end, and Ricky stays, its ugly to see such behaviour from Galliani and Berlusconi towards Ricky and Milan fans. Milan should be a club that says "NO" to the sale of their best and legendary players! Its an imperative, not a negotiable thing! Always.

Also, we should, with our profits, be able to buy 3 good players after not investing for 3 years as we should be.

If Milan sells Kaka' we start mercato with earned 80mln! do you thing Milan will invest 100mln in mercato like it should? No way...

That is why I dont expect Milan to be able to replace Kaka'. First, that kind of a player in not replacible even with Ribery right now ( a player that is simply BRILLIANT and plays on the level of Ronaldo, Kaka', Messi), and he can only be replaced ( looking at quality of Milans game ) if Milan buys one great AM and one great CF. Now only a CF or only an AM. And that is what Milan plans...

And about this "new" midfield: what is that? Hernanes to play AM, ok. Who will play in the rest? Seedorf??? We have 4 DM's and Seedorf and Dinho who are NOT able to play as movable as Kaka', or to play central midfielder.

Solution is to keep all the players ( See can be sold ) and to insert Hernanes as a central midfielder.

-----------Kaka'------
---Hernanes----Gattuso---
-------Flamini/Pirlo-----

And if Carlo wants MILAN players he can play Playstation! Except for his dinner buddy Seedorf who obviousely decided he doesnt have to run anymore.

IF ( Im commenting purely reports in here ) the reports are true, I dont see Milan being strong with this mercato changes. Still hoping Ricky will stay and he'll be named our captain from the Curva as he deserves!

Ricky resta con noi! Galliani sell your son

EDIT:

Leonardo wants Hernanes, we can sign only one non eu player... we'll see.

there is a smell from fenerbahce about seedorf come fenerbahce get him out from us

I was just reading about that (sort of...it was in Italian). Also (and I know some of you won't like this because he's 30) there are reports that Atletico Madrid may send Diego Forlan to Milan to pay off remaining debts for players who went their way.

true, monay from h.mari, moreno, coloccini

Maktoum denies being in any negotiations with Milan. Tuttomercato citing Arabianbusiness, which is a very reliable site.

If Milan want to focus on youth, then why not go after a player like Giuseppe Rossi (if Kaka' were to leave)? Instead, we're allegedly after Forlan, who is 30. Ridiculous.

Tutto mercato web is claiming that Milan is close to signing Gianfranco Zigoni from Treviso:

Treviso, Zigoni più vicino al Milan
07.06.2009 14.21 di Daniele Felicetti articolo letto 1811 volte
Seguito a lungo da Palermo, Inter e Fiorentina, il golden boy Gianmarco Zigoni (18) di proprietà del Treviso in queste ultime ore è più vicino al Milan. La società rossonera è pronta a sborsare il milione di euro chiesto dal presidente del Treviso Setten per la compartecipazione e si è lanciata in anticipo rispetto agli altri club con gli agenti di Zigoni. La Juventus appare in seconda fila nella corsa al giocatore ma non è escluso un ritorno di fiamma anche della società bianconera.

And the IM translator version:

Treviso, Zigoni closer to Milan 07.06.2009 14.21 by Daniele Felicetti article read 1811 times Follow a long Palermo, Fiorentina and Inter, the golden boy Gianmarco Zigoni (18) owned by Treviso in the last few hours is closer to Milan. Rossonera The company is ready to pay one million euros demanded by the chairman of Treviso north for sharing and it was launched in advance of the other club officers Zigoni. Juventus appears in the second row in the race to the player but it is not ruled out a return to society even flame Bianconeri.

In what position does Zigoni play?

even if this kid comes to milan, we will send him to parma/reggina or whatever on loan, and he will come to milan 3-4 years after....... so it's probably meaningless to talk about this kid....

He's a striker, judging by his height (1.90m) probably a genuine CF, although I've never seen him play.

This may be very good news. Check out the stadium part:
