Summer mercato 2009

Now i only fear that Galli's next statement will be: "We were flirting around Dzeko but that was a decoy to take Toni.".

Yeah and the bad thing is, he's also a non-eu player

But he is playing in Serie A, it shouldn't be a problem if you worried about the non-EU spots.

From TMW, Galliani confirmed that 3 of the players arrived at the last mercato will go ... and the winners are: Shevchenko (back to Chelsea), Senderos (back to Arsenal) and Mattioni (back in his club in Brazil ?).
That means Galliani admits himself that our last mercato was a failure ?!

He also said that Pato stays at 100% while the others stay at 99,9%.

We're linked, like some said, with Jovetic, but also Yaya Touré if Pirlo goes (what's the need ?! He is another replica, maybe stronger physically, of Flamini who is a younger replica of Gattuso).

Dzeko affirmed again he wants to come to Milan.

And good news to end this post, Albertazzi is called with the U20 Italian national team ...

From what I can make of this (it's in Italian), Leonardo says that Pato and Pirlo will definitely be staying, that he likes Dzeko a lot and that we have the whole summer (until Aug. 31) to evaluate and make additions to the squad.

Hmm I forgot about that, so we can buy an unlimited number of non-eu players playing in Italy?

Leonardo says something right ... but I'm afraid that saying we have until the end of August is like saying "we have no clear objectives right now".

Let's hope this Dzeko deal will end soon, because for moment, our sure team is:

--------- Abbiati ---------
? -- T.Silva --- Nesta? -- ?
---- Gattuso - Flamini ----
------- Ronaldinho -------
---------- Pato ----------

6 starters + Nesta + Seedorf (wrongly placed on the field as we don't know what will do Leonardo).

PS: Giving the captain armband to Ambro means giving him more time as a starter next season ??

this what i think will happen....slowly but surely milan will start from the ground up that means more homegrown players from our system...cheaper players since we almost have 0 debt that mean the cash will go into keep us safe economicly ... financially there is a real big problem Espana Britannia also were hit hard but Italia is much smaller...hopefully i want more Cassano than Dzeko why hes a none EU and Cassano doesnt take a spot with that we can get jovetic the main goal i see with management is...skip rebuilding have no debt and create a younger squad....as far pirlo i hope he can play in a 442 a Italian 433 or 4312 with jovetic and cassano already our team gets super younger my worst fear next season is 1.get blown out in the group stage of the champs league 2.not finish in the top 4 3.not go deep into the season fighting for a scudetto thats all i ask for i wish we could get sneijder madrid doesnt care about him and please no robben,toni, trezeguet id let him slide because hes 6 2 lol and was always on the bench and please please get maxwell! please please no more jaku and people your right seedorf looks so loyal now...i respect that man (no homo)

Well, I think Leonardo was just trying to urge everyone to be patient. Fans always want all the transfers done within a week so they know what to expect, but it never works that way.

I would imagine that the Dzeko thing will happen within the next few weeks if it happens at all. The player wants to come to Milan. Milan wants him. Wolfsburg will hold out for as much money as they can get. If they don't come to an agreement in a reasonable time, Milan will move on (while keeping Dzeko in mind for the future).

You can throw Zambrotta into that list of starters as well unless Milan buys two really top quality fullbacks. As for Ambrosini, I think it will depend on what happens in the summer mercato. Obviously he's going to play a significant amount of time, but whether or not it's more than last year is difficult to say. I'm sure Leonardo has an idea of what he wants to do.

It could work(Zidane and Figo produced winners), but I pray that it doesn't. It would be awesome if Milan meet Madrid in the CL.

Well, I hope they fail too, but I don't think thats likely as they are both great players and they both enjoy movment off that ball(run without the ball). Something that Dinho and Seedorf can no longer do.

I have been thinking about Sneijder as a possibility as well. It's clear that he no longer has a place at Madrid with Ronaldo and Kaka coming in. There were already rumors of his departure (and even of his being included in the deal for Kaka). I can't imagine that his name didn't come up during the Kaka discussions. So I think it's possible that Madrid was just waiting to see what happened with Ronaldo, Villa, etc., and that some deal could be struck for a portion of the Kaka money. I actually wouldn't mind having both him and Van der Vaart (and VdV's wife, too, of course ).

For sure, VdV's wife.

What happened to those who used to say, don't worry, remember how Milan signed Nesta in the last day of summer.....

Well, I really think it will be a good idea to offload Pirlo and any others if the right offers come in. As it looks, even with Dinho playing his best, Seedorf starts to run again and two to three great signings(Dzeko, Santacroce and Maxell/Essien/Hernanes), I still don't see Milan beating the likes of Barcelona, Real or the big 4 of England.
I am not saying starting from ground zero, but if an offer for Pirlo is 30Mil, 20mil for Gattuso, 45mil for Pato, 8mil for Janku. Why not? B/c that way the MGT must spend on new players and at the same time develop youngsters.

Getting Santacroce might be good now, but how about giving a chance to Alberterzzi, since he is suppose to be the next big thing. Guys like De Gennerao, Abate and Polashi might really turns out to be the next generation of Neved, Figo and Pippo.

THen there are players like Cardacio and Mattioni, I actually seen Cardacio in action and he is pretty solid, very much like Gago.
