Is there any players we could use: Leonardo Ponzio, Carlos Diogo,... ?

Lafita winger , Obradovic Left Back , Uche , Diogo as you said are all useful not sure of the cost. ......Or EU Status excet Lafita he's Spanish.

Thanks. As I know, 3 years in Spain is enough for second nationality, so maybe they all have that.

Hope that Galliani could recover this debt, we really need that, player or money is fine.

Now is not the time for being chilvarious

Pozzi was never the new Inzaghi. He could've been the new Tomasson, once again if he was given a proper chance.

Paloschi imo could be our main striker with Pato for season 11-12, whilst others like De Vito, Strasser, Verdi could be regulars, but only if we have faith and patience in their development.

Didn't we just try to package Albertazzi as part of the Sokratis deal? If he truly was the new Maldini, then why did we want to sell half of his ownership to Genoa just to save a few bucks on Sokratis? Clearly, we do not value him as a player and doesn't think he can really do anything even if we give him a first team place.

€1000 bet that this will be our team for next year....
Abate/Oddo...............Nesta..........Silva...............Antonini/JanKu
....................Flamini..............Ambro.............................
..................................Pirlo........................................
Pato...........................................................Ronaldinho
............................Pippo/Borielo.............................

Hopefully, Milan will have an easy draw in the Group stages of CL, or they will be the Pool of 10-11 CL

If you are from Latin America.

That's correct, in Spain people from Latin America take less time to get the Spanish citizenship than people from any other part of the world, 2 years actually.

Milan rejected Madrid 20 mil offer for Silva. His agent acknowledged Mourinho's interest in his client. Silva himself said he would love to play for him someday but he's happy with Milan for now.


Yeah, but with men like Berlu you can never tell. After all what a friend for, right Galliani?

It seems we are on course for another confusing transfer window.

Initially we signed Mario Yepes who is no-doubt a solid CB but his age is on the wrong side.

Then it was Marco Amelia on loan with an option to buy when Fiorentina bought Boruc for 1.7 Million. I am not sure if Amelia is better then Boruc especially when Boruc costs as low as 1.7 million.

Then it was Sokratis who is on the verge of signing and from what I have read in this forum he is an average player who can play both as a RB and a CB. If he was suppose to arrive then why did we renewed Oddo's contract?

Now thanks to Thiago Silva for rejecting Real Madrid and I hope Ronaldinho stays and we give more playing time to Huntelaar instead of selling both of them for Ibrahimovic who is a great player with lack of desire. I mean is Ibrahimovic worth both Huntelaar and Ronaldinho.

If Silva goes to Real. It will end up being a players swap deal. Like Drenthe and VDV for T. Silva.

On the surface it makes sense but Milan is really getting left over from Real in exchange for a must starter

Alot of you are saying Milan are starting to get good youths, with Verdi, Albertazzi, Darmain, Strausser, De Vito and others....but the truth is that I don't think they are ready or worse, they are just not good enough.
I mean, ALbertazzi can't even get a game with Oddo, and Favallie being a CB pair. Verdi, although 17, is the only natural RW/RM but he did not get a minute with both Beck and Pato injured.
Point is that ManU is also tight with their budget but at least they got tons of youth coming up years after years. Mancheda, the Twins, Nani, Gibson, Anderson, Evans brothers and their two new signing-Smalling and Hernendez are all ready to be a regular starter or squad rotation while they are all under 24. BTW, their leader Rooney is only 24 or 25.
It sadden to look at the current MIlan squad and compare to those great squads of the past. Even in the mid 90s to early 00s where MIlan finished out of CL, they were still great players in Weah, Baggio, Bierhoff, Boban, then Sheva. At least there were efforts from the MGT where as now, it seems like they are not doing anything but complains about taxes, or other teams bullying them around with money......

Double Post

I'll take that bet. Ronaldinho is leaving, 99%. We're not going to be replacing him with a winger, but a Trequartista, or a FW, depending on how much faith we have in Borri and if we sell Huntelaar. So either Honda or Dzeko.
