SÃO PAULO - O discurso da diretoria do São Paulo mudou com relação ao volante Hernanes. No domingo, o diretor de Futebol, João Paulo de Jesus Lopes, admitiu que o clube pode negociar o jogador por um valor bem abaixo dos 30 milhões de euros (cerca R$ 81 milhões) da multa rescisória.



"A ideia é chegar perto da multa, mas é tudo uma questão de conversar", afirmou o dirigente. O presidente Juvenal Juvêncio já havia dito aos seus pares que, se chegasse realmente uma proposta oficial por Hernanes, não pensaria duas vezes para aceitá-la.

In other news, Sao Paolo Director (and not just any unknown insider) is openly inviting bids for Hernanes. He would not think twice if an offer arrived. Asking price is well below the rescission price.

I don't know why Pirlo didn't play against Galaxy. If he wasn't injured then it is strong suggestion that he will be sold to Chelski.

I think rocks wither quicker that our transfer campaign.

Pirlo didnt play because he is on vacaction since he played in the Confederations Cup
same as Gatusso, Zambrotta and Pato

Santos signed with fenerebache

So here's what we did this summer so far:

Official moves:
- Sell Kaka & Gourcuff for 84 + 15 = 99m pounds. (not including Kaka's wages ~10m)
- Lost Beckham for a the first half of Serie A to LA galaxy
- Maldini's retired - we have replaced him with Onyewu
- Signed Thiago Silva for (can anyone remind me how much?)
- Bought Zigoni and Beretta for about 2.5m
- Players who have returned from loan: Abate, Oddo
- Players who have returned from injury: Nesta, Boriello, Gattuso, Bonera (Galliani sees them as 4 new signings)

To be frankly honest - we aren't reeeeeallllly as messed up as most of us think... all we need is for Ronaldinho to perform well and 2-3 quality signings. I think Milan's trying to find a way to sign Hernanes & Dzeko but they aren't able to.

Rumoured targets

Dzeko: Galliani comes out right after Kaka's sale and says Milan's only target is Dzeko...but he was too expensive for us so we backed out. He signed a new deal with Wolfsburg and he said he will stay one more year with them. It is rumoured that there is a clause in his contract to sell him to us next year for a fixed price. However that does not mean we can't sign him this summer, it just means that we will have to pay a crazy amount for him.

Hernanes: As soon as Leo took over, it was rumoured all over that he wanted Hernanes. It seems like he's a big fan and Leo's eye for talent shouldn't be underestimated. At first his price was 40m euro, then it dropped to 20m, then to 15, then to 10, and now its rumoured to be 8m euro with their president begging for offers publicly. If we were going to get him, I think we would have gotten him already as his price is ridiculously cheap now. However, him and Dzeko are both Non-EU so we can't sign both of them this summer.

Cissokho: An embarrasment for Milan. On our website we stated that he was going to be the new face of Milan until we found out there was something wrong with his teeth - so we asked for a 3 million euro discount cause of his teeth. The player has now officially signed for Lyon.

Fabiano: We've been after him in 2004 and we didn't sign him then cause we didn't believe in him...He's been playing in Europe for a few seasons now and we only started to notice him after his 5 goals in the Confederations cup and we want to sign him. We are offering 12.5m euro but Seville want 20m euro. The agent believes this could be wrapped up around 17-18 euro. Milan aparently found a clause in his contract and have made Fabiano turn against his own club but they aren't willing to make any sacrifices and are sticking to their primary offer.

Onyewu: Out of the blue. No one ever saw Milan linked with Onyewu and then bam, we signed him. This means not all of Milan's work is broadcasted so maybe we should be a bit more patient.

Santos: Linked with him but now he has signed for Fenerbahce.

Eto'o: Rumours of him come and go.....nothing concrete... It is rumoured he's going to sign for Inter tomorrow.... personally he's my favourite player from all the players we've been linked with.

Since i think we are going keep Pirlo for at least another season, i think it makes perfect sense to buy Hernandes for the low price he is currently avalible for. if we dont buy dzeko, he plays for us this year. if we do, why not loan him to another team to get ajusted to the italian game?

Exactly my thoughts too.

I personally don't think that's going to happen. maybe 0.1%? 99.9% he is Inter-bound.

actually, Gattuso returned early. He couldn't wait for the new season to start.

because he was part of the Wolfsburg team that won the Bundesliga for the first time in their history, and are in the champions league..there's no way he'll want to play for a team in Serie A. I think its good for him to get a year experience in the CL and then bring him here, but ofcourse I'd rather buy him now... I prefer Dzeko over Hernanes because I am yet to see what's so special about Hernanes..but thats just me. I prefer getting Fernando (Porto).


Lebanese: I wish what you were saying was true...but I've heard so many rumours "from people in Milan" too but they've all been fake. The first one that comes to mind is the Fabregas rumour, everyone in Milan still thinks we're getting him for sure! I think the people in Milan are crazy!

i wish we could keep Pirlo sign Hernanes,Trez or Fabiano,and get Crescito or let Antonini,Albertazzi, play in the back 4


i just hope dream JAKU DOES NOT PLAY IN THE BACK 4 AGAIN in reality it is all a gamble depend on R80 Nesta and Rino Inzaghi but then again what if all works out?



galliani looks like a genius the truth is did any of us really beleive we could have win europe or a scudetto with kaka' and yoann? like people said he didn't want to come to the big time yoann AC MILAN leonardo galliani all went out of there way to convince yoann please come back he said no still



fabiano wants 20 mill for a 28 yr old? idk look 14-17 is fair and if he still is good for 3-4 yrs then we'll resign we dont discrimenate aganst age


slowly but surely we are getting younger just you cant rebuild in 1 season and battle for europe the next season unless your barca,madrid,man city?



heres 2 formations might brighten you fella's up


ITALIAN 4-3-3

ABBIATI


ZAMBROTTA----T.SILVA-----NESTA-----ANTONINI--


----------FLAMINI-------------RINO----------------


---------------------PIRLO------------------------



----PATO-----------------------------R80----------


-------------------BORIELLO-----------------------




4321

ABBIATI


ZAMBROTTA-----NESTA-----T.SILVA-----FLAMINI----


--------PIRLO-------RINO-------R80--------------

It was under 10 million euro, according to wikipedia. The link through wiki is:

Just wondering, how come alot of you are saying Milan have a deal for Dzeko next summer for 20mil?

!

you misread my idea. if we were to buy dzeko, i would want him to play for Milan. However i would also buy Hernandes and loan him out to a team where he could get used to the italian game, and then we could maybe bring him back in the winter

The trick is - to use another Serie A team to buy him (like Chievo/Bari etc) and then have them loan him to us.
