However I dont think he is that rich to make a diffrence at MIlan. maybe just this mercato he can.

He is an OIL taycun, and funny thing he is bussiness partners with Moratti, but has very close connections with Berlu too.

I dont know how much will he affect the team in a positive way, but I will be happy if this happen just because I`m albanian too.

If the guy wants to take some parts of the club, it's his right as far as the club sells some of its parts ... if he can allow the club to spend, let's say 10-15 more millions, that will be good and already enough (of course, if it is more, well, it's also good ). So I'm also ok with this Taci guy wanting some parts of our club !!

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.

Our depth in defense is far from thin. In fact we have to many players there at this moment which just will mean players like Albertazzi won't get any games. We already have the silly amount of FOUR reserves for CB. That is at least one to many.

Also, Bovo wouldn't improve us.

Ledesma isn't good enough to start with us and if we were to get a midfielder then we should get someone that improves us as we don't need bench players there.

Obviously he is a playmaker.

A trequartista (AMF) or a seconda punta (SS).

A playmaker can play pretty much anywhere in the midfield (but not so much laterally)... Pirlo is a playmaker (regista) but plays infront of the defence, but at the same time a trequartista is a playmaker/regista.

In Di Gennaro's case I dunno, but since some people coined him the new Rivera some years back(total bs), I'd assume he is a playmaker who plays in the trequartista role.

Wherever he plays tho, I dont think he has the skill to be a starter or even a valid sub. As a sub, Seedorf is much much better. If the kid improves, he still wont be 1st team material and will prolly be an eternal sub (a decent sub, as said, if he improves)

Don't take it too personal...

And about Bergessio, I think he's crap, plus he's 25, plus we have signed a striker, plus we need the money to buy far more urgent targets.

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.

We have Hunter Borriello Pippo Pato don't need a striker imo a LB and creative midfielder are bigger issues.

Borriello toNapoli for Santacroce thank you very much Il pack his bags for him , that sounds bad but Santacroce would be a great addition.

I just do not see why Napoli would sell him espoecially for 6 - 10 million.

Anymore on Essien for Pirlo ? ...I think it sounds crazy but after Ibra we never know what will happen.

Jay C I wouldn't care if we gave Borriello, Kaladze, oddo, favalli, dida and 10million for him!! JUST GET HIM....

If we insert the deal we would not get discount, instead we must pay extra fee about 25M, so it's Kala+Dida+Oddo+Borriello+25M...

Just joking.

I think Napoli would go for Borriello + cash but what are his wages ? would they pay it.

You´re right, drucurl(and ZvonimirBoban)...

It´s just that I hate this type of post: if you don´t agree, you´re fool, or "...you´re Brazilian and you only wants Brazilians". MM is better than that...

I was one of the few that rate Fabiano high here, and had no problem reading several posters stating that Luis was nothing special...

Maybe is because i´m getting old, but I have no patience for this type of thing, and thats because I´m now more a reader than a poster.

Anyway, thanks for the "wake up call"

so far in the pre season boriello has looked worst than crap, very dissapointing, i believe in the guy, but he's letting me down, i think zigoni is better than him now, what we should do now which is more drastic, is get hernanes the idiot that insulted us from sao paulo is now regretting his words listen i herd we can purchase him for under 15 million probally 10 - 8 now our midfield seems way too defensive...3 dm we're not inter....i still would play seedorf in midfield, we need some sort of way getting R80 the ball, the question is who would we sit gattuso pirlo flamini? i want to see flamini converted to a LWB,but has issues and hates the position which frustrates me id like to see a example a midfield like this....leonardo said we're gona be attacking and im sorry 3 DM'S is not attacking football.....
