Summer mercato 2009

Haven't been posting lately so I'd like to start by saying im the happiest person ever right now after just finding out we signed huntelaar. Then, to add on to that I saw on goal chelsea are adding essien into the deal for pirlo which made me even more happy. Maybe our transfer season wont end so badly after all? Then the lazio pair to.. Hopefully they all get bought

if we put out a line-up of -
-------------Abs------------
-Zambro-Nesta-Silva-Ambro-
---Gattuso-Pirlo-Flamini--
----------R80-----------
--Huntelaar--Pato----

We would have Abate, Inzaghi, Borriello, Seedorf, Antonini, Janku, Albertazzi, Bonera, etc as backups. that is a pretty strong squad at the very least.
if this were the case, i would still like to see-

A new keeper- Dida and Kalac arent going to cut it, Stoari is ok, but i want someone else with talent, and preferably someone who has potential.

Cesare Bovo-He is a talented CB, but he can also play FB. He is still pretty young (26) and is better than Bonera. Our depth on defense is very thin at the moment, and he could really be a great backup for us, as he could step in for a injuried starting and give us quality minutes. we showed interest in him during the winter. shouldnt be very expensive.

Cristian Ledesma- He is another player that would add depth in the midfield, and he would be cheap, especially if we added a player like Oddo in the deal.

A backup for R80- if we could add a skilled playmaker that can attack that would make me much safer about this team, im not sold that Seedorf/Davide Di Gennaro could handle the spot if he starts to suck a lot or if he gets hurt. maybe they can. More insurance would be nice though

Insure his legs for 100mill like my friends from real

There is no way Ambrosini can play FB he doesnt have the speed, ball control, cross etc IMHO i don't think he should play as a left back Jankulovski is better the only point in favor of Ambrosini is that maybe he can defend better than Jankulovski

if he doesnt have the speed, ball control, and cross to play FB, how can he play in the midfield? He does fine their, and he defends well. It would also allow our captain to start, while letting the better mid, Flamini also start

I don't think we should put ambrosini at left back hes to defensive in my eyes and doesn't really have the speed to be a top lb.. i cant beleive were considering switching a mid to a lb to not waste money on a good lb that we havent had since serginho.. hasnt it got through berlusconi and gallians heads yet that we need to REBUILD our squad.. huntelaars a great addition upfront him ronaldinho and pato will be deadly next season, but we still need a good midfielder if not two and a good lb.

One other thing i keep pondering -- what ever happened to signing Rossi? wasn't it posted up on official milan website and then just disappeared? There had to be a reason for that:S

Here's the link for those of you who haven't been updated on that yet.

reason was a hacker. Albertazzi is supposed to be a talented LB on his way up through the youth team, but for our budget a top LB doesnt seem available

Did any milan officials come out to say it was a hacker? or is that just peoples thoughts on it? And i don't understand. If Berlusconi cant use any of what money milan has then why can't he just inject some of his billions of dollars which he'll never need in his entire life towards milan? if he cant do so then hes not truely dedicated to the club. Unless he hasn't realized milan need replacements because in my eyes the only money he invests is in strikers, half of them turning out to be useless and the other half being the worlds best, he really just gambles amongst strikers he never once spent a good 20mill on a decent defender.
One more thing i find wrong with our management is they rely to much on our youth team just to keep fans quiet i guess? but then when these so called upcoming kakas and upcoming ronaldos and upcoming serginhos get to our team they get 2 games per season? maybe 5-6 at max? half those being friendlies.. then get sold to teams like beurdoux or however u spell it to become the top player in france, great going milan! Hopefully these great youths get to play under Leonardo, maybe it was just ancelotti that made them look like failures when they had so much potential

So, because I don´t think Huntelaar is that great as you I´m a fool? Nice way to defend your point...A guy can´t lead Ajax to a champion, and is a bench player at Real Madrid(and not wanted by the new coach also), is a proven player? Because he score against Inter one time? You can say he could prove himself at Milan, fair enough, but until that day, Huntelaar will continue being a promise, period.

Look, since you talked about being a fool, if you were here for more time, you would not commit the error to wrote that...how I can say? "Unfortunate" first bold sentence...

Where are you when I wrote here that Tiago Neves, Jô, Alex Silva, Rafael Sobis, Dentinho, Juan Maldonado, André Santos, Lulinha, Oliveira, Breno, Adriano, Keirisson weren´t good choice for Milan?? Several repectable poster here were high on Sobis, T. Neves, keirisson and I always stand that despite te fact they are Brazilian, I really hoped that we didn´t buy them...

Where are you when I said that Mascherano(and Argie) was the player that we need to buy from South America? And Aquilani? And when I wanted Shweinstiger(sp?) and few agree? So, before make assumptions like that, you need to know what are you talking about. Before call others fool, watch your back, because the one make it of himself isn´t me...

Learn to respect a different opinion...and if the time proves you right and thet other wrong, come back here and have a good laugh about that.


Sorry, but your statment sound arrogant. You think only you had a chance to watch Huntelaar in Eredivisie? Maybe before he goes to Ajax, because after it, he was every week in a Brazilian television playing for Ajax.

Since he came from the other team(Hereveen? can´t remember the name) in the middle of the Eredivisie to Ajax I saw almost all his game but his last season at Ajax. You clearly don´t know, but ESPN and ESPN Brazil always showed Ajax and PSV games here in Brazil. Ajax has a great numbers of fans here in Brazil. Damn, even my brother-in-law is a Ajax fan...Also, since the game were(is) showed early in the morning here, I always wake up to watch it. ALWAYS! Even because at that time(7 or 8 in the morning) there was no football on TV besides Eredivisie.

Holland NT also, because Brazilians like the way "The Orange" play football and we always have a channel showing their games here. Even the friendlys. So, besides Herenveen´s time, you can´t say that watched Huntellaar playing so much more than me...

You can desagree with my opinion, as other repectable poster often do it here, I have no problem with it. But until I saw Huntelaar perform against big competition in a regular basis(his goals in Madrid, Holland NT were against weak competition) I will go to allow myself to not believe he´s the new RVN.

Even if by that, I will be called fool by someone that don´t know me...

Easy there you are too good a poster to get bothered by some silly comments. We always value your opinion.

Milan Eye Up Gonzalo Bergessio To Partner Klaas-Jan Huntelaar – Report
The fiery Argentine could complete a new-look attacking trident if he signs for the Rossoneri...

Gonzalo Bergessio
Gonzalo Bergessio is being touted as a potential offensive partner of new signing Klaas-Jan Huntelaar at Milan.

The 25-year-old has been one of San Lorenzo's main goal threats since returning to South America in 2008, most notably scoring a double against River Plate in last year's Copa Libertadores to send El Ciclon through to the next stage.

After signing Huntelaar from Real Madrid, Rossoneri vice president Adriano Galliani quite literally took evasive action to avoid being questioned over the Milan’s future transfer activity.

This has led to suggestions in Friday’s Corriere dello Sport that Milan could raid the Argentine club for their star striker. Bergessio admitted earlier this summer that he felt he was ready to try his luck in Europe again, having had an unsuccessful stint with Benfica in 2007.

Bergessio, who has scored twice in three appearances for Argentina, is valued at €6 million by Diego Simeone's side, a price-tag that has dissuaded Villarreal and long-term admirers Catania from making a bid.

Most recently, the former Racing Club player has been in the news for causing a 'friendly' match to be abandoned after starting a mass brawl.

Bergessio's agent is expected to arrive in Milan next week to initiate talks, and if the deal goes through, it will place serious doubts over the future of Marco Borriello. The Italian missed much of last season through injury and is unlikely to find regular football at the Rossoneri.

Essien now for Pirlo.... interesting!

This is what Galliani said recently:



"Is the market closed for Milan? Hmm... goodbye!," he said, before rushing away in his car, as reported by CNR Media.
