Summer mercato 2009

I think the day will come when that happens for the U.S., but it would be a huge surprise over the next few World Cups (even if Rossi were on the team).

It would be worse, of course, if he went to Inter, but I'm not thrilled with the thought of him playing for Juve either. Hopefully (barring interest from Milan) Sir Alex will buy him back for United now that Ronaldo is leaving and it appears Tevez may as well. Then maybe in a few years he could move to Milan.

By the way, supposedly an Italian club has shown interest in Tevez. Anyone have any idea which club?

If he joins juve he is lost I think. no way they want to sell him to us later if he does well! I also read Genoa was interested, that would be nice. we could always buy him from genoa if Dinho turns out to be sh*t or is too old (in a few years).
But as said above by some people, the kid will be expensive I'm affraid. And the management clearly wants a 'big' striker a la dzeko or adebayor. so I dont get my hopes on

Goal.crap is linking us with Sam Eto'o and Barca's favorite local yokel, Victor Valdes. Thanks, but no thanks.

Speaking of the devil:

Sometimes I really do wonder if Milan comes and reads this forum? There have been some really fishy ideas that Milan have taken that have been generated from here!

but anyway, that article is basically just two lines and it only says Milan has switched its attention to Rossi, nothing else. Let's hope there's something concrete in it..

Well, I don't think they come here and read this forum.

Secondly, I think every Series A teams fan forums are buzzing about G. Rossi and hoping their teams sign him before someone else.

Lets just hope we get to him first. Given that he's a fan like Dzeko, it might do us some good in negotiations.

I have to hand it to the appeal of our stars from the previous generation, Leo included. It seems most young players still feel the attraction of our club, regardless of how crap we've been doing in the past few years.

2007 is still not long ago and 7 UCL thropies will be hard to forget.

Well Milan is always Milan and always will be,one of the best clubs in the world,we have our ups and downs(just like every club)but we are mostly on top,especially in europe and our name strikes fear in opponents mind no matter who is in the lineup!!

Not only Milan's bench to ex players, but also the pitch belongs to players who support Milan! Now bring back Kaka'!

Seriousely, Rossi is anexcellent player who I thinkwe could turn to when FIGC refuses 3 non eu players rule. Do not forget that in 4-3-3 we have only Pato who is class player and can cover RW place. Rossi would be an excellent solution as he would free Pato from non stop playing. Abate is there yes, but he still has to show is he the man for us, for ous first 12-14 players. And, Rossi wants to play in Italy coz Lippi told players that they need to play in serie a to be close to world cup... Dossena will be playing for Juve.

Its strange we didnt ask for any players from Madrid since Ronaldo's transfer was 93mln! Villa is around 50 ( Kaka' only 65... and Kaka' is worth much more then Villa). We could have got Huntelaar, Robben, Sneijder...its would solve some things with us.

Anyway, Dzeko and Rossi for final third would do good.

but if we buy dzeko AND rossi, we would need to sell borrielo
so i could predict 20 milions for rossi, and 15-20 milions + Borri for Dzeko... i think that would be a great spending..
then, next move (if i were galliani) , 30 milions + janku for mexes and de rossi
so we would spend just the amount of money that we got from kaka sale..
but i doubt that we would buy both rossi and dzeko, and both mexes and de rossi....

Well, I don't agree with getting both Dzeko+Rossi=selling Borriello.

Having 5 strikers, Pato, Borreillo, Dzeko, Rossi and Pippo are needed considering the injury of Pippo and Borreillo this past season.

On top of that, we lost Kaka, he is like another striker.

And with Leo, he won't play Seedorf all the time like Carlo and at least for the first part of the season, Milan won't have Beckham.

Guys, lets give Boriello a fair chance here. Despite starting well and then losing form towards the injury, he actually made himself an imposing figure for our attack. Just his strength and aerial ability was enough to scare most opposition defenders, and when he did not score goals, he was keeping the oppositions best defenders out of the game, to let Pato and Kaka speed the ball safely around him. His bad form can be atrributed wiht the split with his girlfriend, so judgement cannot be made too quickly!

If he is the ultimate bargaining chip in the Dzeko transfer, then by all means, use him. But if not, ensure that we try to keep hold of him. I have a strong feeling he has much more to offer!

I beg to differ Sali, in Boriello's defense he didn't actually lose form, he was out the entire season.

So are you saying, on the basis of an injury-riddled season, that you would happily use him as trade bait? Not accusing you, but it sounds that way.

Hey, have you guys heard about this one? :

AC Milan Consider Move For Porto Star Lisandro Lopez - Report
The Rossoneri have listed 'Li-Lo' as their plan B, as they continue their search for an attacking threat...
15 Jun 2009 17:41:53

AC Milan continue to chase Wolfsburg starlet Edin Dzeko, but apparently already have a back up plan in place should they fail to convince the Bundesliga champions to part ways with the Bosnian striker.

The Rossoneri will then turn their attention to prolific Porto striker Lisandro Lopez, according to Goal.com Italia.

The 26-year-old has blossomed at the Estadio do Dragao over the past two seasons and helped Porto in their run to the Champions League quarterfinals in 2008-09. Overall, he bagged 16 goals in all competitions and has become a part of the Argentina national team set-up.

Vice-president Adriano Galliani has admitted the Italian club are searching for a hitman in order to add some more potency to their attack, especially after selling Brazilian maestro Kaka to Real Madrid.

However, Milan may have to fight off competition from Lyon, should they decide to make a move for the Porto man.

Besides Dzeko and Lisandro, Arsenal bomber Emmanuel Adebayor has also been linked on-and-off with a move to San Siro.

I know lots of you hate Goal and its reports, but they usually turn out to have some truth to them!
