How much do we have exactly??

I'd take Afellay, Drenthe & Van Der Vaart whilst we are at it.

it took them long enough to request this

Payne you do realise about your sig that Borreillo hasn't impressed because he's been injured all season??

Drenthe is new name for left back according to milannews.it, so what do you think Drenthe or De Silvestri could be better ???

i kno and i acknowledge that he was injured, but technically except the one year in genoa, he has never been impressive, and i dont think if he was healthy it would hve been any different.

i dont really know about de silvestre at all, but i know drenthe has good ball control and can have amazing flashes with his dribbling, and thus i would expect drenthe being better offensively, however i dont see drenthe as a good defender.

Yes you guys are right about the spelling.

But he still wasnt a starter at Lazio, so I dont believe he would force his way into our team. I dont see a mad rush for the player who starts ahead of him, so how good can he really be?

Arsenal are trying to sell Eboue.

Another option is to exchange Boriello for Santacrocce. Boriello may not get the time to show his worth now and while it would be nice to have a target man on the bench it would be a hell of alot nicer to have Santacrocce on the pitch.

Boriello is Naples born too, so they would be well up for taking him and if we offer a little bit of money on top we could have a our Nesta replacement ready, while he playsat rightback until Nesta retires.

damnnit almost got to 10,000! whatever, took B&G long enough, huntelaar is in my opinion a fantastic player who didntget enough of a chance at Real Madrid. he should do really well, and i like the idea of Pato and R80 on his flanks in a 4-3-3. maybe we can play beautiful football like barca! lol. but it would be great if we could also sign other dutchmen from real madrid, sneider or van der vaart and maybe robben. they'd be cheap too cuz real madrid are thankful we sold them kaka

robben is great, but injury prone, he is basically like glass, easy to break. i dont see sneijder leaving madrid, and if so, the would ask for atleast 25mil, so van der vaart is the best option from which you have called. and i would love to have him aswell.

Babel (though we are not linked yet) would also be great as he plays winger/striker and would make us more diverse offensively, as he can be a back up striker or winger, or even a starting winger if say pato or ronnie fell in form or we want to try ronnie in the mid field or something. i saw tha pool was ready to sell for 7mil pounds to Galatasary.

Just took a look at the CL draw, and seriously, I think Uncle Fester might actually be scared we'd end up 4th next season.

Look at the teams we could potentially be drawn against for the play-off games (given we'd be taking the non-champions path) just to get into CL proper:

Arsenal FC (ENG)
Olympique Lyonnais (FRA)
Club Atlético de Madrid (ESP)
Sporting Clube de Portugal (POR)
Celtic FC (SCO)
Panathinaikos FC (GRE)
RSC Anderlecht (BEL)
VfB Stuttgart (GER)
FC Timişoara (ROU)

over half of these teams couldn't be taken lightly.

De Silvestri and Drenthe are not better than Antonini and Janku in my opinion.
On top of that, whatever happened to giving play time to Albertazzi?
To me, if Milan is to sign a new FB, he must be a huge upgrade from Antonini and Janku, if not, it is a waste of money.
All these talks about De SIlvestri is unreal, as the games I had seen him play since three yrs ago, he is not impressive at all. Quite frankly, he is overrated.

NO DRENTHE PLEASE,great in attack,worse in defending,he isnt a LB but LM or LW,so he isnt a good option

i dont think any twam that made cl should be taken lightly, thoug there are some that you expect to beat, there is a reason why they made it.
