Kaladze is not on the market, nobody comes that's for sure if no one leaves, If Oddo leaves everything is possible then

Interesting. I guess he's basicly telling Oddo to bugger off...

According to la gazzeta dello sport West Ham of Zola has express interest for Oddo and could propose a loan deal for him , even though Milan would prefer to sale the player

I think we're going to get rid of Oddo although id prefer getting rid of kaladze, anyways i think we'll get rid of oddo and end up with one of de silvestri or bale, drenthe would be great

I believe until market ends we'll sell/loan Oddo and get De Silvestri... More than that is not going to happen

While watching the game tonight the commentator said that LEO asked for Kaladze to stay, so he will not be sold, on the other hand he told Oddo that his not considered part of the team, so he needs to find other team by the end of the month,

nobody likes zaccardo? i dont think hes bad?

oh, man, not Zaccardo! I very rarely dislike a player completely because i always believe that somebody is always better than nobody, but not in this case. Zaccardo is just terrible. Every time i see him playing for the NT, this guy makes some dumbass mistakes that cost his team big time. I would rather keep Oddo, and that is saying a lot considering how i think Oddo flat out sucks).

when (Our real captain) Gattuso left the pitch why did he give the armband to Pirlo (Our Vice-Captain) instead of "Captain" Ambro?

Guys check out Miralem Pjanic, bosnian playmaker. He has replaced Juninho in Lyon. And ofcourse Remember this name for the future, he is going to be a big player. Miralem Pjanic 19 years old Bosnian Gold

It's a shame Kaladze looks like he'll stay, but I get the impression we wouldn't get a CB anyway. I believe his contract ends next summer (please correct me if I'm wrong) so will leave on a free then and that's when we can reinforce properly at the back.

We desperately need a FB though, so I really do hope Oddo goes asap.

I think in Milan the armband is generally given to a player on the pitch rather than a sub (whoever it is). I might be wrong though, but this appeared to generally be the trend to me.

Regarding the FB if Oddo leaves, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Milan real objective is the 24 year old Rafinha of Schalke.

Rafinha can be a player Leo can use well. He is underrated player that is able to play great football up and down. But I doubt Schalke's new coach Magath will let that happen. If he arrives I can tell you one thing: Rafinha is 200% fit, his coach is Magath ( that man is crazy...)

Also I wouldnt mind Eboue, aldough people bash him. He had bad season, but is a good player for sure, better then De Silvestri, Zaccardo etc.

And, it would be nice to see Leonardo using Kaladze as a LB few times. Kaladze is more then capable of doing that when he is fit.

Right now Nesta and T.Silva look brilliant! To me it seems Nesta still lacks a bit of pace but he finds it easy to play with Thiago as he covers extreme ammount of soace due to his power and speed. One FB that can defend well would help a LOT.

Cissokho was the man, choosen by Leo. Too bad Silvio didnt let it happen...

I don't think that the Kaladze stay is a shame. Galliani admit that there were clubs interested in him but he strongly insisted that Kaladze was never on the Market.

So for me it means that in the eyes of Milan management Kaladze is hugely improving not to put him on sale after the recent requests.

As regards the armband I share your thinking.
