Summer mercato 2009

I would not say Fabiano is another RO as I do rate him higher just not as high as some here are saying.

Hunter is not the answer, as he really needs his team to feed him the ball.

Sneijder is interesting, as I think he is byfar the best and most complete midfielder in the market at present. I think he will break out any moment to challenge for the best player in the world soon. If the deal with Inter is really true, unless he gets injured for next season, 18mil for him is as good a bargain as 15mil for Gourcuff.

Hernanez is someone I have not really seen play but I do trust Brasilero, as he is often right with players with Brazil.

well Brasiliero did also tell us that he really likes Fabiano....


btw - there's another player I totally forgot about in the market* that could easily make us great again........ Robinho!


* - well maybe not in the market but he could be.......right?

Sneijder in place of R80 is more than acceptable for me. I agree with someone who commented that we need to fix our midfield first. It was very evident from the days we got defeated by Arsenal in the CL.

My team (given sufficient funds) would be 4-1-2-1-2:

Zambro Silva Nesta Antonini/Janku/Albertazzi

Flamini
Abate/Gattuso Hernanes
Sneijder

Hunter/Borriello Pato

No way for two reasons:
- his price tag must be around 30M
- his "condition to stay" (I don't think Man City would have sold him anyway) was that M.C. bring new quality players, and they have brought so far Adebayor, Touré, Tevez and Barry. Actually, on paper, we are not better than them nowadays ...

I thought they got Eboue not Toure.

But Milan still have Mr. 4 time CL winner, that must be the X factor, as Berlu just said today that Milan is a squad of Champions

I think Pato and Robinho play in very similar positions unless Pato plays as the center forward which he does not want to.

Lol! I would love to hear management defend their mercato strategy without using the words 'champion' or 'balance'

And "Competitive in all fronts".

After reading on Calciomercato that one of the guys from the management of Udinese said that there had been too low offers for D'Agostino and Di Natale and that their goal now was to keep them even if nothing is sure, I think we could take a look on both as, even if Di Natale is 31 or 32, they are talented players we could use in all our kinds of formations ...

They are both Italian, and actually, I noticed that Italian players are rated less highly as what we generally suppose (for example, Di Natale is worth 15M I think and I mustn't be the only one to think that, I think if a 10M offer comes, Udinese will let him go).

ppl say Hunter needs ppl to feed him the ball, but most strikers do, and he is more complete than say Pippo. Fabinano rarely makes his own chances, and when does he actually look good? when playing for Brazil when he is backed up by many of the most talented players in the World... Imagine that

I also do think that the running game will work in Serie A.

the only solid game he played in milan shirt was last year 5 - 1 ganist udinese.
this is the only game that janku impressed as a midfielder

Then he should go to Real, ahahaha

Still nothing.... sigh...

Well apparently Hunter is coming. Just hope that Pato will not be going to Chelsea after that.

This is the most boring summer ever
