Summer mercato 2009

Rafinha is a future prospect and will come cheap. At the age of 23 he is pretty experienced. I don't think we can afford the kind of player who starts playing well from day 1 without any prep work. Rafinha won't make us a winning team on his own but he can be a building block towards make one.

However, I can't seem to remember a time when we have made hasty purchases 1 or 2 days before the market ends. So most probably, this will be our final squad.

I don't know if those signings should be considered hasty, they should have been made long ago and are long overdue to happen. But yeah, I agree, we are not going to get anybody meaningful because the management insist on pocketing all the cash rather than build a strong team.

Looking at last night's game, we need a faster and younger LB/RB.... Zambro and Janko were just defending against the inter LB/RBs all last night, instead of attacking themselves. I know this means going against the likes of Maicon, but we need someone else in that position, and not just someone if Oddo leaves!

Ronnie is quite clearly not up for the challenge! Janku and Zambro are both liabilities! We dont have a single midefielder who can come off the bench and change the game!

We are four signings away from being a scudetto/cl challenging side. And right now, with 2 days before the deadline we have no future other than one as a selling club.

Bye bye Pato.

Rafina is a 23 year old Brazilian with a boat load of talent

Pato should go join a real coach at chelsea
Then Milan could go buy some 9 year old Italian kid who nobody knows about and boast about building for the future

Sneijder,Milito and Eto'o are very important players.Milan has to sign 6 world class players or forget about scudetto becuz inter is too strong for us.

GK
2 Wing backs.
a Motta kind of player.
Sissoko
World class striker,Milito or Eto'o kind of.

Nobody should have to back up Dinho nowadays.

? sarcasm?

Huntellaar is good player,but he is world class?Real madrid seems to forget it as well.he is not a Milito or Eto'o or Fernando Torres.

Rafinha is good player but wont make the difference,but he is a lot better than our current backs.his offensive game is much better than Zambrotta,he is an ideal wing back for 4-3-1-2.its hard to find a wing back who is solid defensively and can do something offensively,pushing so much,Cafu,Serginho esque Wing backs,if you can find one,they cost so much.

Too bad we didnt manage to sign Cissokho,who can be a important signing for us.

if we signed Cissokho and Dzeko and use Kaka's money we got from his sale,everything
would be different from now.

inter sold ibra too.they signed 5 starters with that money,Branca,Oriali and Morratti difference,compared to our losers,Berlusconi and Galliani.

''we are stronger than inter'',we are really stronger,but they are winning and dominating the game with 4-0.

are all in decline since 2-3 years,when you have 1 this kind of players,this doesnt effect the team but if you have 3 this kind of players,it effects so much,especially they play in so imporant positions.

then adding Jankulovski who is not Milan bench class,or adding Stotari,you see 4-0.

we will see more scores like this,we will play with Real Madrid.

i actually dont think we have any chances to compete with Marseille,we cant compete with them,they have a very good first 11.

Elimation from first round from CL will be hard to accept for us.

I'm expecting something earth-shattering in the next two days.

Or not.

Perfect example of what Berlusconi did this summer.

it was really hard to keep Gourcuff and sign some world class players with Kaka's money?Couldnt we do what inter did this summer?selling one star player and signing 5 star players?

it wasnot so hard but Berlusconi didnt want.

i hope he will learn his lesson from this 4-0,start to see realities about our team.

Im all for replacing Dinho. Zambro as fine and Pirlo is fine. Storari made some hugely top shelf saves, he is a good option as a backup keeper. we need more than we will get, we can hopefully get a starting FB and a backup for Dinho, i think that is all that is realistic

Rafinha to Bayern is all but confirmed. (goal.com)

Huntelaar got transfered to Madrid mid season while injured, and he still scored 8 goals in 20 games, most of which were from the bench. thats not bad. he also has an excellent scoring record with the Dutch national team.

Dzeko for the most part is a one season wonder so far and he has had one big season and a few ok seasons. i think he is a really good player but he isnt great yet.

If you think Milito is world class than Huntelaar definately is.
