Summer Mercato 2010

Good thing about it is that Galliani consideres almost all our players Champions, so if anyone leaves a big player will come!

- Ronaldinho: We have not seen the Ronaldinho from his Barca years, but last year he came close. My fear is that selling him will have a bad impact on Pato as well. In regards to Honda coming in and essentially being counted on to replace Dinho, I am not totally against the move. I just question if it is the best move.

- Pato: I believe in my heart that if Pato stays healthy next year, he will score at least 25 goals. Besides health, I think he's got to have two other things: 1) a guy to feed him the ball (like Dinho) and 2) a full time job as a striker. Pato on the wing, in my opinion, is a waste.

- Abbiati/Amelia: Really? This is the future of Milan in goal? I am worried.

- Boriello: Marco has shown himself to be a capable striker over the past two years, but not many seem to be convinced that he will be an important part of our future. However, provided that Pato will be the star we have waited for him to be, would you object 15 goals from Marco?

Also, I have a question about Strasser. Will we see more of him? What are your thoughts on his future? Another young guy I'd like to know more about is Adiyiah.

- Ronaldinho in my opinion had a more than decent season. He is one of the finest talents the world of football ever produced but even he knows that his best years have passed. On the other hand, he is still considered to be a top-class player, so i wouldn't mind selling him now at the best possible price. I believe that year by year passing, the Brazilian will cost less.
Of course, selling him without replacing him properly will be a mistake.

- Pato: The only thing that scares me about this guy is that he is so prone to continuous minor injuries. It's a bit discouraging at this young age.
Anyway, i think that he is a huge advantage for a big team like Milan, a young player who knows how to score, has enormous talent and proved that he can easily stand out in the top-class level of the game.

- Abbiati/Amelia: I think we've been through a lot worse than that my friend...

- Borrielo I rate him highly than most Milan fans, i think he's a very good striker, good enough for Milan but i am not sure about a starting spot. While he got left behind by various injuries himself, i believe that he's not getting much credit for his working rate and, mostly, for his amazing scoring technique. A couple of his last season goals brought an essence (even a light one, OK...) of Marko Van Basten to the team.

- I haven't seen Strasser myself. It remains a big Milan mystery this side of Rio Grande...

Welcome to MM Sputnik, use the presentations forum to introduce yourself

Gallani always say our mercarto is closed and then he will sign some over the hill players. Just hope that he is lying this time and actually sign for good players since all the freebies are gone already.

Alright, it reminds me of my first day at the army: "Go present yourself to the 1st Office young man, now welcome to the Army and move your legs."

Just kidding, Reza, will go to properly announce myself

Mancini is under pressure to sell of a number of players in order to reduce his 37-man squad , This could mean the sale of striker Craig Bellamy and midfielders Nigel De Jong and Stephen Ireland, i think de jong would be good for Milan

I'd take De Jong but alot the guy's are players like Bellamy Bridge Etuhu (not dickson) Shaleum Logan Javan Vidal Jo Viera Caciedo Stuart Taylor Javier GarridoNedum Onuoho...Not many I'd take only De Jong maybe Ireland ...but believe me Stephen Ireland is a piece of sh1t.

I am not sure about De Jong and Ireland but, sweet Jesus, Craig Bellamy is what Milan DOES NOT need at the time being...

So, no Honda already?

I know one club that would gladly take these players if they were free and played for other clubs than Milan...

News from Brazil(Jucilei):
Corinthians announced yesterday they changed their mind and will not sell Jucilei in this window. They only have 50% of his rights, and are planing to buy another part of the rights that is in the hands of a finance group.

They realize Jucilei probably will be in Mano Menezes Brazil NT, and will hold onto the player to sell for more money next season. Man, when we started to ask Corinthians it was only 8 millions Max...

Now, with possibles caps to Brazil NT, EPL Clubs will have the chance to enter the race for this rare type of player, meaning we will have no chance.

On a side note, like I said several times here, you guys could see(now) Santos would have never sold Ganso for 15m to us, as the press in Europe were saying. They reject a offer(official) from Chelsea of 20 millions for Neymar. Like I said Santos, São Paulo and Internacional are hard to negotiate...

i know u r Irish and probably have watched more of him than i did, but for me, Stephen Ireland is a really good player. His passing is excellent and his technique is very good. I think he would be the perfect vice-Pirlo....i still don't know why he is not rated highly in England or by you...i wish you could explain a bit because whenever i get to watch him, he looks to be 3x the player Barry is and yet that guy is always hailed as such a talent...i don't understand that, especially that Ireland is still 23
