Summer Mercato 2010

just sell the club Silvio. Everybody hates you for destroying this beautifull club, its clear you are not interested anymore, so why keep this club? for your image? Well, your image is going down fast as every Milan fan wants you OUT!!

just like Filipez said, his image is on its way down.. even his own Milan fans have turned against him in recent years. Ahh how things would change if we had a different president with alot of cash willing to spend..that alone could be like winning the Champs League for me. Having someone like a new Roman Abramovic for Milan, willing to go crazy in his first year, bringing Brazilian talents here and there, getting rid of the Pirlos and Seedorfs of our team...ahh well one can only dream.

Talking about dreams....I had a dream last night that we sold Huntelaar for 12m Euro as our first official sale... I couldn't tell who bought him but just that he was the first person out.

Can anyone give us the status of these coaches and how likely can we get them?
- Hiddink
- Capello (can we get him for a third spell? maybe only if Berlu leaves)
- Rijkaard
- Spaletti

im pretty sure Spaletti has a HUGE contract in russia. not sure about the rest..

-Hiddink might be available, part-time, but I can't see us going for him.
-Capello as you said, no way in hell, unless berlu is gone. If Leo can't even work under our management, don't even think about Don Fabio.
-Most likely out of your list, though being linked to Inter lately.
-Spaletti, yes, but can we match Zenit's wages?

I'd say its going to be Tassotti. Cheap, experience, he matches our "family policy" well, ..

sorry double post

Right now the favourite for the coaching role is Allegri according to the Italian media. Galliani has hinted at Galli taking the role, but let's not rule out Allegri who Galliani specifically pointed out as someone who played with Milan for a very brief spell (it was only some friendlies or something), so I think it's probably between those two.

By doing such a thing, he probably knew he would be rated a lot more higher by fans and the club (suddenly, we don't care anymore about his level, like if he had a great season and showed to all of us that he was as good as Nesta or T.Silva on the pitch ), and this way, he just allows himself to stay in a "big" club (some could claim we're not big anymore, I will reply it's just a matter of time, maybe even after this summer if the right moves are done) one more year.

After reading the article, I even thought it would be good to have Onyewu as vice-T.Silva or vice-Nesta without any particular reason !!

The way I see it, Onyewu is doing a very nice gesture, despite not being a quality player. However, to have him for free for a year cannot be complained about, as it means at least having an extra player in the squad.

However, I see him as nothing more than what Kaladze was for most of this season. Basically a player in the squad who is the final point of call in defence.

I don't think this summer is going to dictate whether we remain a top club or not. Rather, it will signal how competitive we'll be in the short term (say around 5 years), but what I think will be important for our long term future is how much we can really get from the youth development, as we will rely on it unless we get a major cash injection from a new owner or something.

That said, a part of me doesn't want a new owner that will just pump in money as it is against what I believe ethically.

I read that it's possible that Adiyiah will leave, if at all true it only means we can not rely on the current structure to promote youth, after the two Ecuadorians, etc.
The high wage problem is being sorted naturally with the contracts expiring one by one, let's see if this team can do better than finding Bosman players who are 'happy to join'.

WOW Adiyiah going what a shocker , Cardaccio Viudez , beside De Vito Albertrazzi maybe Verdi none of the rest are going to be good-great .What ive seen of Zigoni only 3 games as a sub but he did get 10 - 20 mins in each he looks slow and awkward very slow I know nerves play a part but they dont make you slow which he is.

Im writing off this summer not expecting anything or anyone.Dida and Favlli are gone everyone else is still here and i fully expect them to be next season Onyewu back for Favalli , Storari for Dida im being logical I cant see too much happening , I just hope that we can make the CL next year and if no changes happen next summer then we will be gone as a club.

Its only may mercato has not yet opened but lets be honest , its not likely anything will happen this summer , Tassotti to take over im 100% sure of that if he has a year like Leo CL qualification and not a disaster then Galli will take charge the next year...lol

Im hoping that sume sort of rebuilding will take place next year but im expecting nothing this summer expect Gooch Yepes and Storari same team as this year with Flamini playing moore for rino , thats my 10 cents.

A very interesting article about the business plan for next season.

Thanx Dev, from the article : "Gallini ricorda che il Milan continua ad essere la prima squadra europea nell'ultimo quinquennio" translated as "Gallini recalls that Milan continues to be the first European team in the last five years"

Like the kids say .... whatever

The 1st European team to what ???????????????????????? Go from European champions to average side in 3 years ???????

It will be a french summer - Henry, Trezeguet and Gallas.

Somebody help!

I don;'t want him to sell. I just want him to tell his ungrateful daughter to STFU....

she's 1 who has halted spending as she is chairman of finivest. She was one who FORCED kaka sale. Knows nothing about football... just a glorified accountant.


You guys all bash silvio, and sure he deserves sum. but lets not forget what he's done from minute he bought team till recently. He's always put his own money where his mouth is. Iunno, it may be a bad period now but i can't hate the guy or ask him to selll....

truth is it's unlikely anyone non-italian would be a milan fan without him. Cause when he bought Mila nthey were flondering between serie B and A. Rich history, but probably would have gone way of nottingham forrest

Can't live in the past 100% of the time, otherwise of course you are right
