He is technical sound but by no means aguero, messi etc. Shortly put i think he's good at everything but great or world class at nothing.

France is different from a real league. I'm sure he'll score in spain cause its a league guys like dani guiza score 30 goals....but to me he really is a poor man's anelka albiet with a much better attitude. His mentality might be his best point

Pls don't say France is different from a real league, as ZZ, Ribery, Drogba, Trez, and now Gourcuff all played and dominated in that league.

I would say he had better finishing than any of the players above. I don't think he is technically better than Messi but I also think Aguero is not better than Benzema technically.

And in the way you say I would say that Dzeko, Drogba, Adebayor is not as technically good as Benzema (not sure about Dzeko though). Aguero is not as big as Benzema

About Pato, would you agree a offer of 35M for him? Of course not, right? then you should not count Pato here because he is considered the best young FC in Europe today by many one.

Haha. If I had Silvio's money, I wouldn't hesitate!

From today's news:
-We are still talking to Porto for Cissohko, Milan really want him.
-Apparently Manchester United, Wolfsburg and Galatasaray are in front us us for Huntelaar.
-Manchester United are interested in Pato.
-More confirmations that Milan is not for sale.
-There are reports that we are close to an agreement with Chelsea to sell Pirlo for 22-23mil.
-Milan made a 13mil euro bid for Fabiano.

And thats it really. Pretty bummed out. I'd like to see us selling dead weight, and seeing news like "Galliani in Madrid for Huntelaar", "OFFICIAL: Cissohko is a Milan player" (Well, mind you we already saw that haha, but it didn't happen) or "Milan closing in on Santacroce".

But theres nothing at all.

Give me Huntelaar, Hernanes, Cissohko, a good CB and I'm happy. I'm not asking for Messi, or Ronaldo.

I can't speak for everyone, but that's not the case for me. I think 30 million euros would be too much to pay for Dzeko, but it would be a far better deal than paying 35 million pounds (which is equal to about 41 million euros) for Benzema. As I said, I might be willing to pay 20 million euros (still a lot of money) for Benzema based on potential. I'd pay a little bit more for Dzeko based on his superior goal-scoring record in a better league.

Think about this logically. Barcelona are said to have offered Valencia 37 million pounds for David Villa. That's two million pounds more than Real apparently has paid for Benzema. Do you really think those two players are in the same class?

I saw this a bit earlier. Why would Wolfsburg want Huntelaar unless they were to turn around and sell Dzeko?

It's hard for me to imagine this is true. Manchester United would be hard to beat out for any player if they're interested, but I'm not seeing either Wolfsburg or Galatasaray.

dont you guys get sick of throwing names and suggesting formations and drawing milan's future.
in football good investments equal success equal more money. we have not brought 1 player yet. wait then judge,
i am pretty sure we will end up with 3 italian targets, luca toni is one of them, so dont bother your self becuase by now you should have known better how milan works.
first they plan for impossible targets then they end up with any transfer listed player and they tend to praise him like he is an ex golden ball winner or ex world cup winner.
this is how i see it and this is how it is going to be. ciao

drogba and adebayor r very technically skilled, dzeko too... more than benz

Yeah, Thats what I thought.

As for Manchester United, we might have an advantage. Because apparently, Milan have first options on whatever players that want because of the Kaka sale, Madrid want to give us a "gift".

Although its The Sun, apparently Carlo Ancelotti wants Pato. And while Milan said he's not for sale. It's reported that within the next 24 hours, Milan may meet with Chelsea to discuss a 46mil euro move to Chelsea for Pato.

Seriously, I'm not saying this is true, or isn't true. But with the way Milan is running things we can't doubt this possibility. I'd be heartbroken if it were true. We would be left with nothing, if Pato were to go.

Ughhhhhh makes me so upset, even if it isn't true.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. It's probably just a gentleman's agreement though and if United were to offer a boatload of money Milan might still be expected to match it. I'm not sure United would be in need of Huntelaar anyway. They have Berbatov and apparently Rooney will move forward again. I could see them taking Benzema because he likes to play out wide, but they seem to be pretty well set in the box. But I've also just today seen them linked with Villa, Andre-Pierre Gignac of Toulouse and even Michael Owen! (Prompting the headline "Sweet Jesus No!" on one article and making me wonder until I clicked in to the story if it might not be about Milan and Crouch. )

Truthfully, to get that kind of price for Pato before he's a fully developed player would be good business. But Milan can't do it after selling Kaka because they can't afford the reaction they would get from fans. I don't think Pato is going anywhere.

It sounds like we are slowing becoming a 'feeder' club for 'big' teams in Europe!
