Summer mercato 2009

we need to go for dzeko again!! why signing strikers who arent milan class? that is simply wasting money!!! from the strikers linked only Dzeko is good enough, he's probably also the most expensive one, but its useless to sign players who arent good enough.

having said that, I still believe dzeko is our main target.

Guys, our midfield is the same one from the last season which guarantees slow tempo and predictable play.

..'nuff said

Fret, agree with you 100%, as people kept talking about defense, or strikers....but to me the the midfield is a huge problem too.

As for Hunter not coming, well, I think he is quality, afterall, just look at his goal ratio. But he is more a poacher thus he needs players around him for support. He is more suited if he is the lone striker with two wingers rather than how Milan will play.

Anyhow, not a big loss in my opinion, but his pricetag will be more of an indication of how the market will go. If he is around 15mil or so, then Luis and Dzeko won't be coming for less than 25 or so. While if Hunter is going for 10mil or so, then Luis and Dzeko should be around 20mil.

As of now, there are only a handful of strikers being in the market with a lot of teams looking for strikers.

If Madrid agrees with Stuttgart instead of Milan ... what can we do ?
If Huntelaar agrees to move to Stuttgart despite the interest of Milan, what can we do ?

Madrid seems to play a hard game with us now they have what they wanted for the last 3-4 years (a kind of revenge because we didn't sell Kaka' earlier ??), and Huntelaar, by choosing Stuttgart instead of waiting for an offer from us being accepted, just showed his lack of ambition for his career.

So I don't see why people are STILL bashing everyone they can because of that ...

PS: If Inzaghi had left, we could have taken Huntelaar to be his direct replacement ... it's maybe a reason why we don't insist too much for him as Inzaghi is still there. And if he goes to Stuttgart, we will have a new chance to get him in 2-3 years ...

PS1: To reply Gabriel, if Huntelaar leaves for less than 25M, so that will mean that Madrid won't give us any player nor sell us any player at a lower price to thank us to have sold Kaka', as it was mentionned several times in medias (many times, an agreement between us and Madrid was reported ...).

-Fabiano said he wouldnt mind staying at Sevilla because thats also a great club,he said at the age of 28 a offer from a club like Milan should be evaluated,but if the deal doesnt goes through he wouldnt be angry because he is very happy at Sevilla

-Eto'o is available on the market with City very interested in him,Laporta(President of Barcelona)has confirmed that he made a bid of around 40 millions at Villa and that he is sad that Eto'o and Barca cant agree a deal.

-Onyewu will go with us on the US Tour and can make his debut maybe against Chelski or Inter.

Well, Geo, I would not say Hunter is lacking in ambition if he signs with Stuttgart.

If I am him and I have to choose between a Loan offer which can be mature in August or an offer right away to another team. I will choose the ladder. As I can settle in earlier with the new surroundings... On top of that, if Milan sign someone else before August, and withheld the loan offer, I will end up on the bench for Real and hope that guys like Raul and Benzema gets injured in order for me to play.
Thats actually the good way of thinking. Or Hunter just believe that he will have a better future in Stuttgart than in Milan, and if thats the case, it is truly very sad.

If Barcelona sell Eto and sign Villa, they are a scary team.

Galliani indeed said that 20 million is still to much for Fabiano......wooooooo this guy has to be joking right?!

I disagree ... there was one report saying we want him on loan, but firstly, there were reports about a rejected purchase offer.

Also, with the new coach, Huntelaar would have a chance to be the second striker in the list in Madrid ...

And to finish, a guy like him is always asked, so he knows that if he rejects Stuttgart and then Milan doesn't come back to get him, other clubs of the same standard (best German teams and best English teams if not the best Italian ones) will try to get him then ...

Well, Huntelaar is a very respected striker and he shouldn't fear that some of the major clubs won't pursue him.
Man Utd, Milan, Stuttgart are being mentioned but that doesn't mean that some other clubs that are going to play CL next season won't be needing a striker.

Well, to me, I think Hunter is third or forth striker for Real. As Benzema, Higuin and Raul(depends) are ahead of him.

Secondly, it is easy for us to say and judge that there will be other offers.....but what if there are not. And he ended up sitting on the bench for most of the season during a WC year. Then there is the agent factor that will keep telling him what will happen if he ends up sitting on the bench.....b/c the agent do get money from transfer.

Thirdly, those are just thoughts and opinions from us-diehard Milan fans.
Maybe in Hunter's head, Stuttgart has a better prospect than Milan. Or he does not like playing in Italy.....

Some news from Tuttomercatoweb about the 'mission' of Braida in Brazil:

It seems that A.Santos has a EU-Passport and a deal can be reached around 5.8 million euros. Also as we al know the alternative is Maldonado from Flamengo,and last but not least,if Pirlo leaves then Hernanes is the new target.

It Seems That Various Reports Are Saying We Have Agreed Terms With The Company That Has The Rights On Tevez And That The Deal Can Be Sealed Next Today!

Is Santos really an upgrade from Janku and Antonini?
