Summer Mercato 2010

i tend to support flamini as a DM he never actually got the chance to play at that role here since pirlo always play there as a deep lying md. anyways, even if we purchase a DM i don't think Kwadwo Asamoah is the best man to play there. i love the guy but i think he is better off as a tranquartisra

Hi everybody.

I hate to be "that guy," but I think we all need to tone down our expectations. To be fair most have. I honestly think Honday etc. are out of our reach. We should aim for modest players because currently we are a modest team. Our management will not get us any quality players. This is a business decision. Currently, financial solvency and finishing amongst the top 3 positions is the most important thing for management.

I don't think this will change anytime soon.

We are not amongst the European elite currently. Until Berlusconi changes his philosophy or gets lost, we are not going to be near there either.

To me, Flamini is like van Bommel. Can be very useful if well managed, otherwise, just plain reckless and will hurt the team. That's why we need a long run planning. If we "decide" that we are not going to use him properly, we should let him go while he has a good market value.

I agree with you. I think most members here do too. We are just in denial - I know I am.

I agree also , but maybe to the extreme I don't think anyone will arrive unless thay are free or on loan....and if they are free they will not want anyone that expects more than 40,000 a week at most.
So that would most likely rule anyone like J.Cole.

Next year our team will be .

.............................Abbiatti...........................

Zambro/Abate......Nesta...Silva...........Antonini.

........Flamini.....Pirlo.........Ambrosini

...Pato.............................Dinho

............Borri.........................

I just cannot see it any other way.And on the bench and our game changers will be.

Oddo
Yepes
Janku
Bonera
Seedorf
Gattusso
Pippo
Amelia
Zigoni
De Vito
Strasser
De Gennaro
Onyewu
Adiyiah
Roma.......Thats 27 players.

Thats correct I predict Hunter will leave and no1 will come in to replace him.They care more about profit or breaking even which isnt a bad thing.But I don't think the old legs will carry us to 3rd or 4th next season.And in the long run the lack of ivestment will hurt alot its mis-management.They are definately happy with 3rd in the league but are in for a shock as that will not happen next season.

I really hope Spain can win this WC. Otherwise Galliani will come out with same old BS about how we have a WC champion in Klaas.

hahaha you guys have berlusconi's quotes down PAT...thats hysterical

" we have won more than any team..i'm the most successful president ever"

" We have a WC champion in Huntelaar"

" Ronaldinho was a 2 time Player of the Year"

" We need to balance the books, we're not reckless liek R Madrid"

" We are champions"

" The club will sign a World Class player if he's available"



BLAH BLAH BLAH... Berlusconi must LEAVE..it's time to go....

Invest in youth or buy some top class players...this current team sucks

Correction, Milan already World Champions in Dinho, Pirlo, Gattuso, Oddo, Zambro, Nesta and Pippo. That's more World Champions than any other team in the World.

READ MORE NEWS ON: AC Milan, Celtic

AC Milan have snapped up Luca Santonocito from Celtic.

The former Inter junior moved to Glasgow with Celtic last year, but has now returned home.

Milan confirmed Santonocito's signing late last night, having landed the left-sided midfielder outright from the Hoops.

Official: Milan sign Santonocito

LUCA SANTONOCITO is a Rossonero.

The 18-year-old left-back has grown in Inter Milan’s youth department but moved to Celtic. Now he returns to Italy but in Rossoneri colors, as Milan continue to strengthen their youth system and their Primavera team in particular.

The player had been playing for Scottish side since 2007, but Milan, who are looking for alternatives in the defense following the probable promotion of Michelangelo Albertazzi to the first team, have concluded a deal for him.

Berlusconi: Time to get more from Galliani
Milan’s summer

The season of AC Milan’s Primavera will start soon and they will be trying to overachieve last season in which they won the TIM Cup and reached the eight-finals of the Primavera Championship.

Santonocito, however, is expected to be a second-choice as Primavera Coach Giovanni Stroppa has Andrea de Vito on the left-back side, who is doing a great job.

Yup it's all over the news.... however it's only a signing for the youth team.

Rumor has it that Bayern have bid for both Coentrao and V.d.Weil....both of which are very young and excellent. Both are fullbacks, one is a LB and one is a RB. Asking for both would be like asking to be a billionaire overnight, but I'll hope the milan management consider one of these at least.. Neither of them is Non-EU and they are definitely worth the money. These are the investments we should be looking to make, not 15-16 yr olds! I kinda rate these 2 fullbacks ahead of Honda, Dzeko, Ganso. I think our main problem for a while have been the lack of attacking fullbacks...with them I believe other plays like R80, Borriello, Pato and especially Pirlo can benefit from their movements.

for once, i think i am berlu side. Galliani needs to do something. or Berlu should fire him.

i would love em both. i wont lie though, i like antonini. but coentrao. he is something else.

Berlusconi is like Sokratis Kokalis(the last president of olympiakos here in Greece)
He made Olympiakos a great legend for the last 20 years wining almost every single year the greek league.I think 10 years in row winning!
Now that he recognized that he can't splash anymore the money like in past he gave the club to a new president, who has many dreams and moneys for Olympiakos.
The same its with Milan.Ok thank you Silvio for all the good you gave us, but Milan belongs to the fans, we have 101 years history he can't be forever our president.
He must Sell the club, and AC Milan will rise again.
