and i hope rino stays with us,bucause WE WILL need him,as we need seedorf and pirlo so much right now(i was the only one all summer long that insisted that we should keep them when most of you said they re old and "slowdorfs" etc,just because we couldnt afford loosing another quality key of this squad,although they werent good enough last year)..for the same reasons we cannot loose a man that symbols so many things for milan..

Rino is actually a MUCH better passer nowdays than most of people here, and everywhere, think he is. His technical area improved greatly through years. I saw Rino delivering deep balls for NT when Pirlo was injured, and he did it quite well. He even had 2-3 assists last year for us, which Ambro didn't had for some time, in fact I don't remember ANY of his (Ambro's) assists since he's with us. Anyway, Ambrosini is not great passer too, he's good just as is Rino.

For "destroyer-creator" thing, I meant speaking in theory, not in practice.

Go back at the the Manchester game in SS...and watch who assisted Gilas goal!!! even fresher just watch the Real gome in Bernabeu...who assisted Patos first goal.

Still on Gattuso issue, come on peeps. As of this moment, even if he is to leave MIlan, Milan won't miss him one bit. Thats also show why he is not playing regularly and why MGT is willing to offload him if there is a good offer.

Thanks Reza. Hopefully the team will stay healthy and the good play will continue. There are bound to be ups and downs, of course, but there certainly seems to be a chance for a three-team race for the Scudetto to shape up and that would be exciting.

milannews says English tabloids have said Dzeko has turned down a move to Man City. This is apparently because he wants Milan.

It is a strange phenomenon in today's football that a player that is followed from many clubs simply wants to play for the club he supports and doesnt want to listen to the offers from anyone. The thing we do not know is how is Dzeko so sure Milan will buy him etc. Maybe Galliani already talked to Dzeko or has some kind of agreement...

I've heard that he had a bad finishing day in his last game. Aldough I claim Dzeko needs to fix some things in his game I do not know where we can find a better young classic no.9 these days.

Also, I've seen Bale in 90 min. He is clearly a talented player who has brains and can pass, cross and runs like hell. But his defending is in question.

Edin is supposed to meet with Galliani in the next few weeks

Well Galliani met with Edin and his agent Irfan Redžepagić here in Sarajevo and there were some rummors they`ve agreed contract for Džeko.
So looks like he is ours in the summer,because Džeko has turned down a lot o offers from other clubs,the last one was from Man city,also Man utd is interested in him too,but he is saying we are his no.1 choice.
But who know what will happen,but for now it seems that he is ours.

it means the player signed a pre contract with us and waiting for the summer to finalize the deal.

What would this mean for borriello and Huntelaar, and Pippo... IMO we dont really need him, dont get me wrong, I really like Dzeko, and he's an excellent striker but I think we need players at other positions much much more.

If Huntelaar scores 10-15 more goals in the rest of the season, I doubt that there will be place left for Dzeko. I would rather buy someone cover for Seedorf and Pirlo since our team wouldn't function without them. However, if Pippo retires then there might be some room.

Yes Galliani was in Sarajevo last summer on evening coffee with Redzepagic. Though I don't know how Redzepagic looks like, I can confirm that Galliani was in Sarajevo with someone.

Although Dzeko loves Milan, he won't wait for ages, and if Galliani doesn't show the money in the summer, someone will persuade him to go somewhere else.

Personally, I would like Huntelaar to succeed here, but with Borriello in form, will he get any decent playing time? Will he fit in this system? Don't forget that 2 goals he scored, he scored them with Inzaghi beside him.

If Huntelaar doesn't succeed, I'm not convinced in Borriello's goalscoring ability and I would go for Dzeko.

People want Dzeko in a Milan shirt and there is nothing wrong with that,but i want to remind those people not to expect other reinforcements for our team after we signed Dzeko for 20 million.

Dzeko is a dream signing,a world class forward who fits us perfect and who is a true Milanista which even makes it a whole lot better if he would come to us...But i have to say NO to him,even if it really makes me cry.

We dont have anybody who can replace Seedorf and Pirlo,and that is a great problem,a VERY big problem.If Seedorf or Pirlo get injured nobody can replace them which forces Leo to change formation and that will effect our results without a doubt.

What if Pirlo or Seedorf(even if they are not injured allot)get hurt badly and will be out for a month.....we will be screwed badly,at least Adiyiah can fit in for Pato/Dinho.But who can fit in for Andrea/Clarence?

So NO to Dzeko,we need a midfielder who can play as a AM and CM badly,more then a striker.And i am saying this because we wont get both,we all know our management.

After Dzeko is signed,you will hear this: Dzeko makes our already strong team even better.He is a great lad and a true Milanista.Our squad is good and has experienced champions like Pirlo and Seedorf.Nesta has showed to be fit and Silva is great.We are capable of great things,look at the Bernabeu result last season.With Dzeko we have completed our squad.

Well,i think i will pass on that comment from boldy....

Yes, but will we not sign Dzeko for 20 mil., 30 at least.

Just kidding. You got the point, but first we need reinforcements for the first 11. If Hunter fails, we are without world-class goalscorer for the next season. Anyway, don't under-estimate our management. We could fix all these "holes" for little investment. Remember that our great midfield trio, one of the best ever, came practically free. Pirlo came as an exchange for Guly, Seedorf also for Coco, and Gattuso was 8 mil. pounds. Whatever one may think, our management is smart. I hope there some Hernanes-like talent wasted somewhere like Seedorf and Pirlo were at Inter.

I think that after this summer we have some money to invest and with Dezko we can buy Hernanes and Karsic to replace Pirlo who will be sold and Seedorf.
And you can be sure that no metter what one LB or RB will arrive (lets hope for Cri****o or Motta) and then 1 or 2 years with nothing until we sell Pato and then all the procces will be back again!

Sorry for my English...
