Well Borriello is a 10 - 15 goal a season player nothing wrong with that but not an ideal player for your point of a 3 man attack.Pato is quality and hopefully can stay injusry free.Podolski great for Germany but has never even come close to that form at club level and he has scored 17 goals in the last 4 seasons at club level and has moved to a winger position where he has less assists....Id prefer to spend 12 million on someone else although the article did say that 12 million was too much for us..But if we don't get anyone else i'll take Podolski.But he isn't a prolific scorer and he isn't a guy that creates lots of goals either.

Thats grand man ...but none of what i said was lie NOTHING

GeoTav, i'd be quite surprised if Suarez signs for Marseille as that's more of a sideways move if anything, but it'll be interesting to see how much he does go for.

Koti, i would be tempted to sell both Boriello & Huntelaar and bring in two new strikers. I'd also query Podolski as i don't think he'd make much impact here.

I`m just worried that City doesn`t sign a big name striker like Torres, cuz than it will only mean that Adebayor is coming over here!!!!!!

Good to see you Jamie

If R80 goes (next year??) the only thing we have to hope is some of these rumors actually mean a good replacement. With the way it's going even that's not a sure thing.

I'd be even more than surprised if it happens ... but for me, it's just a journalist who wanted to put his name in headlines in France and make his own advert for himself.

And when a player manages to do a good season or several good seasons in Ajax, he generally has open doors in big clubs, so I wouldn't understand his choice to go to Marseille if it had to happen !!

Agreed

-------------Borriello------------
-----Podolski---------Pato------

I think thats a step down, unless you get Dzeko to replace Borriello....I'd say sell Huntelaar and buy Dzeko, sell Dinho and buy Honda,...then play a 4-3-1-2

-------------------------Dzeko----Pato--------------------------
--------------------------------Honda---------------------------
------------------Ambrosini------------Flamini----------------
--------------------------------Pirlo----------------------------
----------Antonini-----T. Silva--Nesta-----Van der Wiel-----
-----------------------------Abbiati--------------------------------


Sell Dinho, Sell Huntelaar, Sell Seedorf, Sell Kaladze and Jankulovski (if we can)

Subs: Borriello, Inzaghi, Verdi, Adiyiah, Strasser, Gattuso, Onyewu, Bonera, Abate, Zambrotta, Yepes

Good team!

Why did we gave up on Hernanes so easily? He could play everywhere in midfield in Allegri's system.
Regarding Podolski, a big no from me, a player who couldn't get into Bayern's first 11, then he struggles to score in Koeln... no thanks.
If we eventually lose Ronaldinho, we need some superstar to lead this team, and Ibrahimovic only is up to that. Attack of Podolski, Pato and Borriello is not the way Allegri plays and it's ****ty attack, worse than last year. If Allegri knows what he's doing, we need an attacking midfielder who can chase and defend and who can run with the ball and make final pass. I think that will be Joe Cole. He has what's needed and he's free. Hleb is another option if Barca lets him on loan. Considering Lazzari is probably coming, midfield 4 would be set with Pirlo and Flamini and only other player I could see arriving is a side-back.
I think that's realistic target with 20 M budget + money for Ronaldinho and Huntelaar.

Cole will not speak italian..i dont want an englishman on the team...
plus he's always played wide for chelsea..

the real choice would be Honda...
4-3-1-2 is Milan's best formation..simple

I'll replace Dzeko for Ibrahimovic in my formation

I read Milan are after Lucas Biglia who has been likened to Pirlo. I don't know much about him, other than he's Argentine and 24 and there are a few videos of him on youtube.

edit: I forgot to ask, Brasileiro, do you know much about a player called Bernardo Vieira de Souza (Bernado) who plays for Cruzeiro?

I read about him on milannews and apparently he looks very good.

Dev, I remember when this kid started to make a name in Brazil. Played some amazing games in youth teams, and was starting to get first team playing time at Cruzeiro.

First of all, I read some rumor yesterday in a site, and as always, they miss the point with clueless comparisons. Bernardo has nothing of "the new Pirlo" they said. He was more of a AMD in the games that I watched... can't understand where they found the Pirlo comparison...

Back to the point, this kid(if I'm not wrong) had a serious injure, and isn't playing for a long time. What appears to be a curse for Cruzeiro young and talented AMD's, as Kerlon had his career(and game) hurt by serious injures...

My opinion? I hope it's only a rumor. Despite be talented, I never saw Bernardo being the man in his short tenure as starter in Cruzeiro first team. Aslo, the kid still need more first team experience before the jump to a big in Europe... Jucilei, Giuliano, Hernanes, Ganso, Arouca, Neymar, Mario Fernandes are the type of player we need to look here in Brazil...

Btw, can't believe we paid 7 millions for youngsters(sure they can turn into stars in the future), and are letting a guy that would be a priority go to Napoli, PSG or other team because of money. Jucilei should a priority for us, even more for 8millions...

I've heard the rumour about Podolski. IMO, this is not a bad idea.

Poldi is versatile, but I think the best position for him is support striker. With a strong left, quite fast & skillful, good movement, he can creat chances for himself and help the team in attack. He is capable of passing & crossing, not so tall (1m80) but physically strong & tough. When the burden of scoring was on his shoulder, he failed, both at Köln and NT, but as second striker, he help his CF partner very well and even have some for himself (in the way Bayern play, they need prolific forwards than supporting type).

If we want Pato to become one of the world best CF, Poldi is a very good partner, maybe Ibra is better but he can be more useful than Borri in this job.

However, if only Poldi comes, the chance he fails again is very high because the lacking of supply. We need a very good ACM.


-------------------------Pato-----------
----------Podolski---------------------
--------------------Honda--------------

for example. This trio is quite interesting.

Only a thought

Jucilei and Mario Fernandes are fantastic prospects and would be all we need. To be honest i think Mario Fernandes is the finished product, he looks so complete in Gremio, he would fit right in the first team at Milan. I just wish we had some recent rumours to show that our scouts/directors are ACTUALLY still looking at these kids, or if its just fantasy, like always.

wow ijust realized what a complete squad inter has.. they have both kerlon and coutinho two young brazilians with a big future ahead of them almost a guarentee if it goes smoothly for the two... great skill both of them.. we need to get hernanes and jucilei asap:P
