Also, he admits that we have no plan B (what a genius!), so no Vucinic, as rumors say.

On their website I also read that he said that Beckham would be joining us in January.

EDIT: or so Galliani says (http://www.corrieredellosport.it/Not...cendere»+VIDEO)

Thanks! I was wondering what that was all about. Funny, after translating and reading the link you provided I went to the Milan News Now thing and the top two stories were like "Milan rules out move for Becks." I wondered what the hell was going on, but they took the angle that Galliani had said Milan wouldn't buy Beckham this summer (which, of course, everybody with a brain already knew since Milan can get him for free in January!).

His goalscoring record is not that good from what I remember. Anyway, 26, so still young. I think he is almost 6 feet tall.

Goal.com had him listed as the 15th best player in italy not playing in europe

15) Alessandro Diamanti (Livorno)

Has been linked with Inter, Milan and Chelsea following a stunning season in Serie B where he dragged Livorno to promotion. Diamanti is a nippy, flashy forward with one of the best left foots you will ever see. Expect to see plenty of long-range goals next season.

if he could be bought for a reasonable price, i say go for it

Yeah I agree. Plus he is Italian.

Elano could be a very good signing and addition for us since now we lack of offensive and creative midfielder.

In the first half of last friendly game, Milan was just awful in the midfield regarding the quality of the attack the midfielders build. Milan played 4-2-1-3 in the first half of the match. Ok, the defence was pretty good in the midfield area but not the attacking/the building of the game. Seedorf was just almost useless in the very important position (between the two DMs and the 3 forwards). But in the second half when Milan played 4-3-1-2 (our normal formation) Milan's play from the midfield was much better.

Apparently Livorno would want 10-12 million euros for him. When he was linked to Inter recently he said two interesting things. Apparently his wife owns a home in Milan, so it seems he would be happy at the San Siro. He also said that Ibrahimovic was the best player in Serie A along with Pato. Good boy.

I remember him a bit from season before last. He seems like someone who would be equally comfortable playing as a forward or an attacking midfielder (which may be why they're targeting Donovan, who is similar, as a replacement). I wouldn't mind at all seeing this happen, but we'll have to see how everything works out. I'm sure this isn't the first priority.

i would love to have him

Finally a major English language article on the Nilmar/Dzeko thing:

Nilmar Move To Wolfsburg Could Pave Way For Dzeko To Join AC Milan - Report
Could the Bosnian star still join Serie A this summer?
21 Jul 2009 16:14:06

Earlier today, it was reported that German champions Wolfsburg were chasing Brazilian striker Nilmar.

Now, Globoesporte believes that should the Brazilian join the Bundesliga outfit, it will be at the expense of highly-rated striker Edin Dzeko.

AC Milan had attempted to lure the striker away from Wolfsburg, but the German club were reluctant to let him go, following his exploits last season, as he scored 36 goals in all competitions.

However, should Nilmar arrive as a replacement, Wolfsburg may be willing to lower their price slightly and loosen their grip, allowing the Rossoneri to pounce.

Earlier this summer, reports suggested the two sides were about €5 million apart. The Bosnian striker had constantly made it clear, that he was eager to join the Rossoneri and was disappointed that a deal could not be reached.

Whether the Serie A side will turn their attention back to the 23-year-old depends on if they succeed in luring Luis Fabiano from Sevilla.

i share the Elano sentiment... he is good for 12 goals from the midfield, very creative, good shot, pass, tackle, box to box dynamo....
but we all kno that those in charge wont sign him because we already hav slowdorf...
it hurt my heart to see slowdorf in a milan shirt vs galaxy knowing we can do better... and then ther is Oddo, Favalli, etc... we cant sell them because nobody wants them...

do the ac milan leadership not realize that a few extra million euros for players like dzeko or fabiano (and by a few I mean a few; literally milan are stalling out over five million euros for fabiano, dzeko, huntelaar) are nothing compared to the riches that an extra round of champions league play or a higher place in the table can provide. i am honestly disgusted by the stingyness this summer and i dont understand it. WHERE did the 60-80 million euros from KAKA go? we havent spent ****e from that!

We could really have a great mercato if we would invest 0 this summer. the sale of kaka and gourcuff brought in 80m.

Hernanes 20m
Rossi 25m
Cissokho 15m
Santacroce 15m

+ next season dzeko for 20 to replace inzaghi

I'm dreaming here But this wouldve been a scenario everybody wouldve hated before the summer as that wouldve meant the departures of kaka and gourcuff. But at this moment it looks amazingly good. we are really going downhill

I would really like to have Elano in the midfield, I think he's absolute class and I feel that he could suit the midfield very well. He'd also push Seedorf into playing well. Honestly, thinking about Seedorf, whenever he has had to prove himself, I think he does well, but I think there is a bit of complacency in him when there's not fire under him.

I have a question, to you guys out there talking about a few million have you ever bought a car, or a house? Does a few thousand here or there matter to you? Listen to how Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson are talking about the market, it is inflated, and they know, and Ronaldo just left Utd, they brought in some okay players, and Owen for free. That is eerily similar to our market. Sure, they do have a great team, but that's not what I'm highlighting Man Utd for, it's the fact that the market is stupidly over-inflated.

Plus, as a future lawyer (God willing) I can tell you that if it is in Luis Fabiano's contract that should an offer larger than 9m come in, they (Sevilla) have to sell, then it is not just a matter of a player costing a few extra million, but it could set a precedent in legal circumstances that would ruin contracts not just for football players, but with you and your working environment.

To follow the law is what allows our societies to function properly, while many cultures have understandings outside of formalized law, there still is a code of conduct (which is what law is) for those understandings outside of the actual law.

Plus, I'd prefer getting Dzeko. Haha.

we are really pathetic.

Kaka, Tevez, Ronaldo, Adebayor, Lucio, Cissokho, Zhirkov, Diego, Benzema...just to name a few names that changed clubs last month. You can probably add Robben, Huntelaar, Ibra, Eto'o, Fabiano to that mix in the next month.

And we are getting excited about Serie B striker.

That's rock bottom, man.Rock bottom.

It really is bad and will only get worse sure we'll scrape by next season 3rd or 4th in the league and maybe a quarter final at best in CL but thats with alot of if's , if Nesta stays fit If Silva turns out to be good , If Ronaldinho can recapture his form , If Borriello can start to realise his potential at a big club , If Leonardo turns out to be a good coach and a success .

That is alot of if's my friends a 30 million investment minimum was needed we didnt get it we didnt get a euro spent its not my money but to spend nothing , zero , zip , zilch , nada is not the actions of a club that wants to be even mediocure.

And please stop saying its only july we'll get players in august because in june ye said its only we'll sign in july fact is AC Milan have no intention of spending the 80 million they made on transfers or any of the 262 million (according to deloite) that they made last year .

If this was stated from the beginning so many millions of ac milan fans would not be broken angry and full of rage./

also, this whole travesty is combined by the fact that our excellent (NOT!) leadership has in the past few years decided to keep an almost exclusively old squad. So while we're taking a summer off in the transfer window, we have very few young players who will mature in the coming year, and many old players whose bodies will degrade with the added age.
And a few million euros invested at the beginning of this transfer window isn't as big a deal as our management makes it out to be as it can lead to a greater income in coming years. Wouldn't you spend 3-5,000 dollars more on a car that will last you a few more years and with greater performance during those years. Being stingy only increases your problems
