Summer mercato 2009

Faubert is a fast techniqually good winger with a decent cross,he certainly has the power to run up and down the flank for 90 minutes,but i really really thought Faubert was a pure winger and not a fullback.....so i dont get it,we dont play 4-3-3 so where will Faubert play if he comes,because i dont see him as a FB....

Real Madrid took him on loan last half year but he never got a chance so he went back to England,so he has to be good enough.

Anyways,i still want him to come,because we would get a energetic winger in return and lose a crap player.

If it is to replace Oddo by Faubert, I think the best is to keep Oddo ...
Abate is twice the player Faubert is, and Abate isn't a starter in our team, so there is no point to think about Faubert ...

The guy was hyped in France two or three years ago, he was actually good but nothing more, and Bordeaux sold him at the first occasion they could ... West Ham easily agreed a loan move with an option when Real Madrid came in (and the option was lower than the price they paid to get him from Bordeaux !!), and look at what happened in Real Madrid: he got something like 20 minutes on the pitch in 6 months and now he is back in West Ham.

Why would we try to get this player ?!

the only problem with rafinha is the fact that he doesn't hold a eu passport hence we can't sign any more south american or african players if we buy rafinha.

Anyway, do we plan to buy any non-EU player even if Rafinha doesn't come ??
(actually, Rafinha seems to be one of the target from Juventus right now)

If Faubert is better then Oddo why West Ham is after Oddo then ?!!!

geo tav i am still hoping that milan will buy hernanes lol i can't see milan getting rafinha anyway too pricey plus his transfer would place another restriction on Milan transfer policy

We have non eu place and it is for Srna! Kidding of course, I know Milan will not pay for him but he would be a great player for us, allowing us to start attacks not only from the last man in midfield but also, like Inter, from RB place. Which we havent done since Cafu. Srna can play as a pure winger, as a CMR or as an attacking FB.

Yoan scored twice again Maybe we can buy him next summer!? Even when we sold Ricky, we could have at least bring in Gourcuff, Cissokho and forward Lao asked for ( it wasnt Huntelaar ). Its frustrating watching Milan finnaly fight and attack and move like they actually have training sessions and to know we could have been maybe the best team in Europe if we only kept our players

Anyway, we need a fullback if we want to do anything this year. Maybe it will be De Silvestri in the end. But, WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE THINK OF HIM?

Fiorentina - De Silvestri it's done deal, Fiorentina sign him for only 6 mil

Sky have now revealed that De Silvestri is currently in Firenze undergoing a medical and if all goes smoothy an official announcement confirming the deal will be made in the coming hours

i don't think it was for 6 million i heard the deal was 8 million euros plus 1 million for appearances made next season. in any case it is another missed opportunity for milan

Why 8 million for full rioghts to a player, when DIhno is getting paid that per season!


Ronaldinho To Sign New Deal At Milan - Report
The Brazilian is set for a pay rise, despite the fact that last week club president Silvio Berlusconi called for players to take a cut...
24 Aug 2009 10:38:24

Ronaldinho's Milan contract has been taken out of the filing cabinet, dusted off, and polished up as he is offered a new deal and pay rise.

According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, the Brazilian ace is in line for a positive week ahead of the big Milanese derby this weekend.

The report suggests Ronaldinho's contract will be touched up in line with an agreement he signed last year when joining the club from Barcelona. His €6.5 million per season wages will now rise to €8m.

In addition, the former Paris Saint Germain star will be offered the option to sign on for a further year, taking his deal to the 2011-12 season when he turns 33.

'Dinho played well against Siena on Saturday night. The play-maker appeared to be enjoying himself in his new role under coach Leonardo.

Too soon in my eyes... Despite how much I like the guy, he is too lazy and unreliable to be depended on so deeply for the future. Pep saw that early....

What scares me most this season is not our defense or GK, but the possiblity of Dihno breaking down (which is highly likely). Who will replace him? The unpopular DiGenarro amongst this forum or the ageing Seedorf?

Sorry, but how could you possibly know that? Are you a doctor? Did you examine Cissokho? The condition found by Milan's doctors was never something that would have impaired his ability to play this season, but rather something that could easily cause problems with his spinal chord and his heart in the future. This is not such a big problem for a club like Lyon, from where most players move on to bigger clubs within two to three years anyway. But Milan was looking at Cissokho as a player who could become one of the cornerstones of the club for a decade or more. It boggles my mind that so many shortsighted fans can't understand why a potential spinal or heart problem would be a concern when you're investing a lot of money in a player. But everyone wants instant gratification.

I hope there is nothing true in this article !!
Didn't we officially sell Kaka' because of his high wage (9M if I'm not wrong ...) ?!

Every transfer wich will see Oddo leave San Siro,is a good transfer,the only reason i want Faubert to come is because Oddo will leave,thats like 3 million less we have to pay on wages,damn just LEAVE ODDO!

I believe this season Gourcuff in 3 appearances has 4 goals and 2 assists. Anyway, enough of being off topic, just thought it seemed relevant to your post.
