Summer mercato 2009

about the Crudelli mews.

This Time I'm Really Joining Real Madrid - Kaka's SMS Confession
A close friend of the Brazilian received an SMS confession earlier today...
8 Jun 2009 21:36:21

Popular Italian journalist Tiziano Crudeli, a close friend of Kaka, says that the Milan star sent him a text message earlier today confessing that he is indeed joining Real Madrid.

It is common knowledge in the Italian and Spanish media that the transfer is almost certainly set to go through, with an official announcement expected tonight.

Crudelli has revealed that Kaka, who has stayed silent on the matter so far, sent him an SMS earlier on today in which the former Sao Paulo star admitted to the transfer.

“He texted me from Brazil and said: ‘This time I am really going’,” stated Crudelli.

....Kaka looks as if he is so happy he is just about to cartwheel. To me this is a man who is about to make his fans exceedingly happy. And this medical thing...RM might have asked for it before finalising the term of the final offer.

Also, this announcement thing..if leaving, he will be pronouncing his own personal betrayal across the globe because he said his decision to stay was final. This will be seen as a perplexing U-turn, possibly a terrible, un-Christian treachery. Who needs millions of world audience to witness this?

But yes I agree it might be better right now to digress and go through the possible dream signings.. Clichy..?

Sorry double post.
This night is getting very long.

I don't really care about Kaka's departure anymore, but this is the worst mercato Milan has had in years that started with selling the most prized merchandise.

Don't you think that's a bit extreme? He's just transfering clubs, not crucifying anyone. Besides, we don't fully know the reasons behind it yet. It's still plausible, granted unlikely, that Berlu wanted the money from the sale and forced his hand. Maybe Kaka really was mad about the Man City stunt. Milan mgmt haven't been performing well lately and neither has Milan Labs.

Point is, we don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

There's no rule that players must have the same loyalty as the fans. Sure, it would be nice.

I follow Milan. I only follow Kaka because he's at Milan.

Didn''t understand ...
Where did you see he was happy ??

I will be in classroom from 6 to 9, so it will be easy for me. No anxiety for me. I will come out and know who to curse.

P.S. actually, I kind of hope that he leaves. I don't want to see this every 6 months. It is getting ridiculous. To think I am actually taking this whole thing lightly. I am definitely going to curse someone after this farce is over, yes, I will.

The mercato hasn't even officially started, yet we are labeling it as one of the worst ones in years......based on the fact that we lost a promising player, and are about to sell a former Ballon D'or winner who honestly has been a shadow of his own self for the past 2 years and if truth is to be told.....he has been one of the most inconsistent performers in our side during those two years.

Don't get me wrong, Fret, this isn't a post against you....but I just wanted to say this because way too many people are taking up this attitude. I hope Kaka stays too as I think he can be very important for us if in form. But if he goes then let's look on the bright side rather then quitting on the mecato before it has even officially started.

There were rumors a few days ago it was cash + 2 players.

Is that still the rumor, or is it just cash only?

If it were anyone but Real Madrid. I wish he would go to Chelsea so Real Madrid could pester them next year.

I haven't heard anything more about that, so I'm assuming that if this thing goes down it will be straight cash.

Also, I disagree completely that Dzeko only scores similar goals. Go see more videos. He scores mostly using his head, which is something we sorely lack.


(I'm still hoping Kaka ends up staying, and a deal with Emirates for sponsorship+stadium+investment is announced)

I apologise if I offended you or anyone, that was the last thing I wanted to do now. My wording sound a tad too strong, I see that now.

Geo Tav, I was referring to the photo of him apparently taken while he was with this medical doctor. I saw it on the redandblack. I also saw the film clip of it on Sky here. In both of them he appears to be quite carefree and happy. That was not how he looked after he played what could have been his last game before joining City. Thus my opinion in the previous post.

@nefremo
I hear you buddy, but it seems to me that Milan is turning out to be a second rated club.
Selling best players, selling young promises, but keeping the "money draining" old school slackers and buying the "ex galacticos" makes me very annoyed and I think that this management deserves all the critiques it gets.

Even Real seems smarter than us, that's Real - the club that's been the most mockered club in the recent years.

this for example is just a mockery:

23.1.2009 - Kaka' and Milan already told Real Madrid that he will never be for sale. And the love he showed for our colours will not make us sell him at any price. - A. Galliani.

4.6.2009 -The motives for his sale are purely economical. The heart? We are talking about business, even a big heart has to be put aside sometimes. - A. Galliani

I liked the last little bit about Ibrahimovic. I know that's not exactly what it said, but close enough.

Hehehehe...

On Ibrahimovic, it says, as you probably know, "Another Champion, but not everyone can come to Real."
