Summer mercato 2009

Trezgol would be a perfect addition to our attack.

He is old but is not fragile.
He is experienced and a goal scoring machine.
He can play for 2 more years.
He won't have any problems adjusting to Milan.
He is hungry for action.
He will be much less of a gamble than Fabiano.
Juve are willing to get rid of him.
Cobolli Gigli has said that it is time for them to sell players and make some money.
We can include Oddo in the deal and get him at a reduced price of 5-8 million.
If we buy Fabiano it would be difficult to buy Dzeko next year because Fabiano would at least play for us for the next 3-4 years. There would be no space for any new additions if Fabiano comes.

... and the list can go on.

If that doesn't make you optimistic then I don't know what will. Considering our financial position and non-availability of Dzeko, Trez is the perfect solution for us.

But Pippo will be 36 years old in a few weeks. He can't play all the time. He and Trezeguet could share the goal-poaching duties playing alongside Pato up front. Then next year Milan could exercise the 20 million euro buyout clause that was written into Dzeko's contract so that he could move to Milan after giving Wolfsburg this upcoming Champions League season. If Milan is patient and doesn't panic and overpay just to pacify fans who want a big-name striker day before yesterday, they'll almost certainly have Dzeko next year. It's extremely unlikely a deal can still be made for him this year. Pippo will probably retire after the season and Trezeguet could take over his role coming off the bench to score late goals and spot-starting for a couple more seasons as Milan goes through this transition period.

the perfect solution? did I hear the word 'optimistic'? Replacing our legend, our golden ball winner, our everything - with an injury prone 30+ yr old player that doesn't start at club nor International level? And thats not it, the thing is, we already have an exact same player, but even better in Pippo Inzaghi... I really don't understand the optimism.

Okay, make a choice:

A. Milan pays 20 million euros for Fabiano or (insert striker here) then lets Dzeko move to Arsenal next year.

B. Milan buys Trezeguet cheap this year and buys Dzeko next year.

You have to consider what's best for the long term, not just what looks like it might be best for this year.

Trezeguet is 31? And a scoring beast.
Inzaghi is 35 and a goal scoring beast still.

I'm not saying Trezeguet and Inzaghi are twins but, there is hope. I guess?

Trezeguet knows Serie A, not injury-prone, expirienced, and can give maybe another year or two.

Dzeko next year, and maybe Trezeguet will score and keep Milan comfortable for the year.

Thats being positive.

BUT, Berlusconi and Galliani still must purchase us Hernanes and a Full Back.

That would make a nice transfer season.

ill take Trez for cheap and get rid of Oddo with it.

Trez's agent said that he won't move to a team in exchange deal. A club must pay cash to buy him. http://www.milannews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=9711

I don't know how an agent benefits from an exchange deal but they do take a cut from a cash deal. I think he just wants the deal to be favorable towards him.

Whether it is a cash deal or an exchange deal (plus partial cash) is up to Juve to decide. However, this negotiation is the best news happening for us right now and I am optimistic that we will get him.

I'm not doubting that Milan will spend, they have to get somebody, but I am having a tough time finding where it says that. Maybe its in non-English sources?

go back to winter mercato 2009 and see the plans to build Milan around the kaka sale. Or go back a month ago where B&G were saying that they are gonna build a champion team.

Quite frankly I've never seen a bunch of losers like B&G, they literally have no honor or diggnity from summer 2006 they are making profit out of ac milan and now they are killing everything that ac Milan has.

It does not take a genius to understand what's going on, Finnivest appointed 3 companies to work for ac Milan, and the profit of these companies will go directly to ac Milan . Now these 3 companies are about to be broke so they sell kaka to balance the books. that's the whole thing nothing more. Looks like investing in dubais real estate was not a good idea at all especially when pier silvio is the CEO

Hasan is correct (B&G did say that they would re-invest the money), and you are correct too (B&G also said that the money would be for the debts - hence no re-investing).

I guess that leaves B&G either schizophrenics or just liars (lousy ones by the way).

i am watching inter vs chelsea . lol ancelotti is very predictable honestly i can see him getting sacked like before the winter break.

Very predictable but leading 1-0 (almost 2-0) now? I am not sure. I think, he will be successful in England.

im watching the game too, what do you mean he's so predictable? besides that what makes you say he will get sacked soon

Isn't he playing a diamond formation (according to the commentators at chelsea tv?)

no diamond formation at all he plays something like 4 -2 -2 -1 -1 or 4-2-1-2-1
but second half expect a lot of changes
