Summer mercato 2009

Michael Mancienne is great! I hope the loan deal would be favourable to us though! Basically these two players are from spots in trouble in our squad...... Pizarro would make an instant impact, however, Leo must be patient with Mancienne.....

For me, Pizarro fits everything we wanted in a tall foward. Far more threatening in the goalsquare than Borri. it would be a great deal, however, Pirlo at 8 million? Maybe with mancienne sold outright!

Not sure about Mancienne, but DI Santo is someone that I would love to see in Milan.
Still hoping for a Malouda or Essien in the deal.

DI Santo? Don't ask too much from Chelsea! Mancienne is a talented RB who is really tipped to be a star and has International experience under the belt as well......

We will give them Seedorf and Kala for Friendship.

Quite franky, I really don't think Di Santo will have much play time under Carlo, as he already have J.Cole, Drogba, Sheva, Kalou and Anelka as strikers/forwards. Then there are Malouda, Ballack and Lampard who can play as Attk Mid.

To me this will be Carlo's Chelsea on opening day.

But do you have any objections to the proposed deal mate? I think it is good, but Mancienne is on a loan option, which means the money involved needs to ve higher. In the current environment, I would rate our man 15 million.....

What about Zirkhov?

Pizarro? For Pirlo? These mercato rumors are going from bad to worse, well...tbh, Pizarro is much better than Bendtner, who is simply the worst player in the EPL...

Can't say I'm enthused about Pizarro though, especially if it is that we lose Pirlo as a result.

Pirlo may not have impressed during the summer friendlies, but in his defense, he had a very long season, having had to play in the confed cup....

Pirlo IMO needs to be played further up the field, maybe as a CAM with R80 and Pato as strikers....ideally, he needs movement ahead of him to b effective.

This I hope is just a rumor, and nothing more...why sell Pirlo when Seedorf is the one who shud go?



Its gonna b a looooog summer/season.

Mate, Pizarro (who owned Milan last seaosn due to his wicked aerial abilities), 9 million in cash and the loan option of "young Chelsea player of the year" Mancienne is pretty good. Even better if we have the option to buy the RB at the end of the season.....

I know everyone wants Seedorf out, but what I can't understand is why for the love of God does the coach still pick him...

I know it's just friendlies, but I hope come season proper, we see him relegated to the bench...

Hope Galliani learns a thing or two from Inter's transfers...

They needed Cavalho and Deco, Chelsea plays hard ball... They go out and get Lucio and Helb, not bad business!

Plus they get 40mil, yeah lose Ibra and hey, at least they got Eto...

And they are NOT shouting "We rule the transfer market"

Action speaks louder than words Mr. Baldy...

Yeah he "owned" us, with who playing CD for us? Mr "No Aerial-ability" Maldini and Favalli? Gimmie a break. We haven't had a CD pairing worthy of the name for the majority of last season...so I'm not exactly impressed by a player's performance against our defense last year.

£9M for Pirlo, is really a joke, especially when coupled with an unproven talent....give me £9M + Essien or Anelka and we've got a deal! (Even if I think that selling Pirlo would b a big mistake)

Having watched Chelsea play in their friendlies, it appears Carlo is looking at playing Drogba and Anelka together up front. And Joe Cole had a setback in his knee surgery rehab and isn't even going to start training again until mid-August, so he won't be in there right away.

You want £9M + Essien? I doubt Chelsea would do it if Milan offered them Pirlo + £9M for Essien! Pirlo simply isn't a 25-30 million euro player anymore. To get 10.5 million euros plus a proven target striker and an option on one of the most promising young defenders in the world wouldn't be a bad deal at all. Pizarro would fill a need and Milan could concentrate on bringing in a midfielder (Hernanes, D'Agostino, etc.) and maybe another defender before buying Dzeko (who is still publicly professing his love for Milan) for his 20 million euro buyout next summer.

Actually, I am beginning to get numb already...I have to put myself in a "place" where the happenings (or not, as the case may be ) of the mercato don't affect me.

B&G will buy whom they please, or won't buy at all, Leo will or won't get the players he needs, and this coming season we will win the treble, or finish mid-table, or get relegated...que sera sera

At this point, methinks I must take myself away from this constant source of mental distress for a while...

I took a week vacation from work last week...gonna do the same insofar as Milan is concerned.

Wake me in January (when that mercato window is closed, please and thank u very much)

Note: I will still be conducting my "moderator duties" however, so flagrant cursers be warned!

SORRY BUT I STRONGLY DISAGREE!

watch more arsenal and you'll see he never got a chance to play at arsenal the rule was always 1 big man up 1 support striker
