Happened me last week oddly enough came home Megan is a Fox lying on my bed I personally was delighted , my girlfriend was furious .

Yeah I wouldnt imagine that if Huntelaar and Dinho leave all the $$$ will be spent I mean didnt we sign Hunter for 15 million over 3 seasons so we still owe Madrid 10 million ??? or 5 this year and 5 next.

Reports that Insua has joined the Viola for 5 million .And Sammi Khedeira will sign for Real Madrid.

Reading about Liverpool and how Hodgson wants the core of the team to be English and geeting rid of alot of the foreign players my god they may be worse...lol....happy for that.

Will Allegri actually play 4-4-2 or 4-3-1-2 , Im not sure about Ibra either the money although Barca would take a deal split over 4 years , if we signed Ganso Honda and a def those clubs wouldnt accept the deal over 4 years they would most likely want all the money now or half now half next year.

Kala Janku and Rino have to go now while we still can get money for them .

We may still have hope of Dzeko if Ronaldinho goes and Hunter can be exchanged in the deal....finger crossed.

Napoli sign Cavani for 16 million ...that i did not expect a real shocker.

Dzeko's desire to join Milan and we can't do anything about it (while he seems to be the ideal striker for us) is very embarassing...however if his price doesn't reach 20m then I would agree with Milan, he is not worth it.

Papa (22) is a good defender (as good as Bonera), but he will never be a starter here in Milan. He will have a role similar to Kaladze's. Maybe for one season one of the defenders gets a serious injury, then he will step in. That being said, Milan are rumored to wanting to loan him and buy him for 7m. That price is very expensive for a squad player, especially considering our low budget. 7m can be used to buy a player like Jucilei who would in all likeliness walk into the starting lineup.

There's a big article about Berlusconi on Milannews, does anyone know what it says? Talks about the budget, R80 and Gazprom's interest.

Gattuso's agent said that Rino wants to play regularly and doesn't want to spend another season on the bench. He wants to speak to Allegri and then make a decision (I am optimistic that we can get rid of this 1 useless player at least). His replacement is rumored to be Lazzari. Olympiakos and Al-Ahly are linked with Rino.

Zico (Flamengo's coach): Ronaldinho coming here is a dream. I have only spoken to his agent a very long time ago but I was not present for the two meetings with the president. Surely, he can only come if Milan release him on a free contract.

Lazzari: "Allegri is a suitable coach for a big club, he makes the players feel less pressure even in a very demanding field (like Serie A). I think I can do well in a big club."

Napoli pull off a surprised and sign Cavani. It must have cost a lot because Zamparini was asking for quite the some. I really really don't like Cavani and think he is very over rated. I feel bad for Napoli who really deserve a world class team and Cavani is a step down in my opinion. With that money they could have bought so many other betters options like Podolski or Huntelaar.

Cavani cost 16 million , and there is no way in hell that we will just simply release Ronaldinho thats 110% certain , I think 25 million huntelaar would get Dzeko but damnit thats too much close to 40 million and when you see Villa only 28 going for a little over 30 million its not right I know he is younger but not 10 million better and actually don't wolfsburg want 50 now.

Oh yeah I agree Cavani is overrated doesnt score alot or create alot maybe he'll get better and judging him unfairly but I do not see much in him to justify the hype and high price tag.

Okay do we have to forget everything again we are in debt already without spending a cent http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/trans...ns-spending-on

Jay: wow you really are very pessimistic aren't you.... 10m in the red is nothing... infact we must be in the best financial position compared to most of the European teams (excluding the Germans).

Totally agree with Gabriel's comments about a strong midfield, you can't underestimate how important that is to us.

It's unfortunate but the majority of our midfield/attacking players just don't cut it in terms of graft and effort, only Flamini can really be counted here. Gattuso & Ambrosini have the desire but their legs can't do it anymore, not for 90 mins anyway. Pirlo is far too soft to be at the base of our midfield, it's time he was moved further forward. Seedorf & Ronaldinho just don't do anything full stop.

We all know the names of the players around who could do a job for us, but we won't get far without some new legs for our team's engine.

About that, some officials of Milan said Ronaldinho has no agreement with any club and that the only real and interesting offer they received comes from the USA. It seems Olympiakos also made a big offer for him but it was refused by Ronaldinho (from what I read, then, is it true ? No way to know).

Papastathoupulos seems more and more likely to join us (http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/milan...dzLml0LTI5ODQ4).

They also report on the same website that if Gattuso leaves (Olympiakos), they will get Lazzari as Allegri really wants him in Milan.

Adiyiah should go on loan (offers from Germany and England).

Damn, I missed your post and wrote the same news (with less details ).

About Dzeko, it is reported that he gave a kind of ultimatum to Milan: he will refuse everything during 7 days if it doesn't come from Milan, then, he will take into consideration other offers.

About Napoli, ahah, the end of your paragraph made me laugh because even when speaking about Napoli, you think about how make Milan earn money !!

yeah Geo, but seriously, Hunter can take Napoli a step up if he finds his form, Cavani can't.

Fucile, Uruguay's RB (or LB?), (alot of members here like him) said that he would like to move to Italy.

I don't think he has an EU passport so it will make the move very difficult.

Well, maybe he would allow them to step up, and while I think it's what needs Serie A, is it what we need and want as Milan fans, another potential rival ?

I would like it if Milan had another rival, that might force the management to open their eyes. They think this team can last forever ffs.

City offers Robinho to Milan for 20m pounds

holy sheeeeeeeeet...I'm sure you all already know how I feel about this rumor.. I think we can also get a lower price as they are desperate to get rid of his lucrative salary.

About Huntelaar, a replacement can't be worse, I mean, Huntelaar didn't have a great season here, he was often on the bench, he didn't show a lot of things, so even a decent replacement could do as well (staying on the bench) ...

Although I am not a huge Hunter fan, I still think he is talented and is capable of scoring 20 goals in Serie A if play properly, not RW but a Striker. Also, he did scored game winning goals for MIlan the past season, and those were not tap in, it was great shots.

if there is any truth in this we have to go for this by all means...and if Berlu needs to step he should, 20 mil(maybe less) is a steel for a player of Robinho quality. And then we can scratch the Target man and have Pato CF & Robinho SS with Dinho behind them...with both Pato and Robinho on the field the lack of movement of Dinho won`t affect us a lot cuz both Robinho and Pato tend to move a lot. Dinho need only to give away passes nothing more .

About the Target Man, we have Borriello who has proved to be a great squad player who can fill in when needed.

Robinho is not needed in Milan unless Dinho is gone.

With all the talks about attackers and defensers, I really can't see why none of you are stressing the need for midfielders. I think Flamini only barely pass for a modern day midfielder in Milan, as he is someone who runs and can make a pass or two. The rest just don't cut it. When you look at the WC, you notice that the final 4 teams all have all-around midfielders. I am not saying they all have to be like Xavi or Cesc, but even Van Bommel can make a forward pass or dribble without losing the ball under pressure. Can we say the same about Gattuso or Ambro. Then Pirlo is talented but his lack of movement is hurting MIlan.

He is not clumsy like Kaladze and not slow and wreckless like Bonera.

He is fast, athletic, strong and confident on the ball. In this defence he will make himself a starter in quick time.
