its impossible they re all traidors,sth is really wrong you can feel it in the air..

Maldini hasn't said he doesn't want to be a part of the club anymore. In fact, he's said he's most likely to stay with Milan forever. Kaka leaving is shrouded in all sorts of mystery, but I don't think him leaving was actually to do with problems within the club (other than maybe financial).

Pirlo and Gattuso I think both need to speak with the club, same with Ambro who is already booked to do so. I think both will remain and I'm not worried about their comments. Both probably want and need assurances on the next season, as both will aim for WC2010. Pato was spoken to obviously which explains his latest comments, but I doubt Pirlo and Rino have had any calls.

It seems Antonini may leave too, which would be a shame as I'd rather have him than Oddo, but it sounds like he had a meeting with some of the directors and didn't leave looking too happy.

I was reading the article Warro was looking at earlier about summer buys and it says Santacroce has admitted to admiring Milan. If that's the case, we've got 3 great players in Dzeko, Rossi and Santacroce wanting to play for us. I just hope Galliani and co act on it.

He left after the medical tests

Apparently we didn't have an agreement with Ambrosini either

Touché

I swear if Cissokho ends up being a Milan player, we have to ban goal.com articles from ever being sourced. I know people have said this in the past, but this is too much for me. It's not funny.

I hope things turn out for the best.

According to goal.com Juve are in negotiations with Villarreal regarding Giuseppe Rossi...

This is turning out to be a great day*...

*sarcasm

Apparently, Milan are trying to lower the Cissokho price, or at least attach a clause where a penalty would be incurred on Porto should a serious injury befall the player.

Luvly.

Goal.com Summer Shopping: Who Should Milan Buy?


The 2008/09 season proved to be a trophyless one for Milan, as they finished third in Serie A, reached the last 32 of the UEFA Cup, and were knocked out of the Coppa Italia in the last 16.

Having not won Serie A for five years, and the Champions League for two, a summer revolution could be in place to ensure that Milan win a major title next term. Leonardo has replaced Chelsea-bound Carlo Ancelotti as coach, but the biggest news was the sale of star man Kaka for a whopping €67 million. Milan have already used some of this money to virtually sign Porto left-back Aly Cissokho, but at the time of writing there is a hitch with his medical.

After an explosive start to the summer transfer season, Carlo Garganese looks at what extra additions should be made to give Milan the best chance of succeeding in 2009/10.

Preferred Line-Up (4-3-1-2)

Abbiati

Zambrotta Nesta Thiago Silva Cissokho

Flamini Pirlo Felipe Melo

Rossi

Dzeko Pato

Subs: Dida, Santacroce, Panucci, Darmian, Bonera, Kaladze, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Seedorf, Rosina, Borriello, Inzaghi

IN (6):

Fabiano Santacroce (Napoli): ‘Emperor Nero’ has had a troubled 2008-09 season on-and-off the pitch, and was even left out of Italy’s European Under-21 Championships squad, but his ability and potential is not in doubt, and he is regarded by many as the peninsula’s most promising young defender. Santacroce has never hidden his admiration for Milan, and he would be able to play in both the centre and on the right.

Christian Panucci (Roma): Panucci’s contract with Roma runs out this summer, and he is almost certain to leave now that coach Luciano Spalletti is staying. Available on a free transfer, Panucci would be a valuable, experienced defender to have in your squad. Before Milan sign him though, they should receive guarantees from the 36-year-old that he does not expect to play every game. A one-year rolling contract would suit both parties.

Felipe Melo (Fiorentina): Arguably the best all-round midfielder in Serie A last season, Felipe Melo is just the kind of complete central midfielder the Rossoneri need. Aside from his class on the ball going forward, the Brazilian also cuts an impressive physical figure, and he would help toughen up the core, allowing Andrea Pirlo to work his magic. At the age of 25, Felipe Melo is at the perfect age. He is also the right nationality.

Giuseppe Rossi (Villarreal): The whole of Italy is talking about Rossi following his heroics against the United States in the Confederations Cup, and the Villarreal starlet has now staked his claim as the Azzurri’s brightest hope for the future. It is only a matter of time until the 22-year-old returns to Serie A, and Milan are one of only three clubs who can realistically afford him. The Rossoneri would have to spend almost half the money they received for Kaka, but he would be the perfect replacement in the ‘hole’.

Alessandro Rosina (Torino): Rosina is a player just waiting to explode, but unfortunately he has spent the early years of his career at clubs not worthy of his talent. Following Torino’s relegation, it is inconceivable that Rosina could play in Serie B, and the player should be available at a cut-price. A perfect alternative to Rossi as the trequartista, or even in the support striker role.

Edin Dzeko (Wolfsburg): The revelation of European football during the 2009 calendar year, it is no secret that Milan want to sign Dzeko. The Bosnian is the complete frontman, with pace, skill, strength, vision and aerial ability among his many impressive attributes. Providing he settles in Italy, he will surely be a major hit in the fashion capital.

OUT (7):

Zeljko Kalac – The veteran is a disaster waiting to happen every time he pulls on the gloves.

Marco Storari – The 32-year-old will either be third choice or he will be sent on his way again.

Massimo Oddo – Will return from his loan spell at Bayern Munich, but is way past his best, and should be sold-on immediately.

Digao – Now that his brother Kaka has gone, there is no reason to keep Digao in Milan.

Giuseppe Favalli – Time for Favalli to retire

Luca Antonini – Could be on his way to newly-promoted Parma

Marek Jankulovski – The Czech Republic wing-back’s legs are starting to go, but his reputation could still see Milan fetch a useful €8m or so.

Ronaldinho – There are widespread reports that Ronaldinho could receive a new lease of life under Leonardo, but if I was coach I wouldn’t take this risk. A Premier League club, like Manchester City, would be prepared to shell out €25m for Ronnie, knowing that they will recoup it on shirt sales, and this money could then be used to invest in guaranteed younger talents like Felipe Melo and Giuseppe Rossi.

Out On Loan: Mattias Cardacio, Tabare Viudez, Willy Aubameyang

Delay Co-ownership Decision: Ignazio Abate, Alberto Paloschi


this is interesting..

Yes, I posted something earlier (in Italian) about Rossi publicly declaring his love for Milan and saying he would come if the phone rang (or something like that), but it also said something about him being willing to move to Juve if they were the ones who showed interest in him. Something to that effect.

As long as the club has faith in R80, I don't see us moving for Rossi. From Berlusconi's comments, I seriously doubt that he would spend 20+ million on Rossi only for him to squeeze R80 out of the side. This just won't happen.

I'm really hoping all this nonsense about Aly is sorted out soon. We need him, and there isn't anyone near as good as him on the market. Dzeko too. They're critical for our future.

I think Wolfsburg killed the deal this morning. We may need to move on to other options...

I've seen conflicting things about that today too. I also read that they were lining up replacements from a list of four (including Vagner Love) and would wait for Dzeko to speak with the new coach before making a firm decision, but they indicated that although they want to keep him they would ultimately respect the player's wishes if they can't convince him to stay. We'll just have to wait and see, I suppose, because you can't trust the European football media.
