Summer Mercato 2010

Gattuso will stay until January at least.

Don't believe a word Galliani says, it's all bull****. We will buy a midfielder, probably Honda.

Is it just me or does the T.Silva to Real thing a lot like Kaka. The player stated their love for the club and would only leave if the club wants to sell him.

Or get Ben Arfa on loan, which is more realistic. After all, we will get a sub for Dinho that way.

Thiago Silva isn't leaving. Maybe in three or four years, but not now. We can still get him to sign an improved contract if he demands it, and he wasn't physically compromised (yet) like Kaka was. I have no doubt that we'll sell him eventually, just not this year (or even the next couple of years).

I think I like the Honda idea better because it gives us a way to play without Pirlo, which seems to be the biggest problem we have now:

-------Flamini----Ambro

------------Honda

-------Pato-------Ronaldinho
-----------Borri

Seedorf can do that role too, which makes me curious why this was hardly ever used last year. Wait, what I am I saying. It WAS used all the time:

------Pirlo----Ambro

-------Seedorf
Pato-------------Ronaldinho
--------Borri

That was the 42Fantasia. Why can't it work with Honda too, but with a real DM instead of Pirlo.

Gave up on Galli and Berlu long ago.
As I said during the World Cup, if Gouch manages to keep doing well(which he kind of did), Berlu will be thinking about cashing in on T. Silva, as he thinks Gouch can do the job. Esp since in his mind there are Yepes and new signing Papa.
Signs are pointing that direction, although I hope it will not be true.

Gooch was terrible in the WC. He was dropped after the second game.

I don't think they will sell Silva or Pato now in 3 year's if things go to plan for Pato he'll be worth 50 million + and Silva will be worth about 40 million if Milan stay in that 3rd or 4th spot and he remains a rock in defence...Then they'll go.
The only downside of that is that I don't think even half of the money even quarter of the money would be reinvested.Hell by then we might still have Oddo Kala and Pippo problem solved.

Well, he was okay not great. He was strong against positional or powerful striker but crap against small speedy ones.

That's how sad Milan have become, as even us fans expects are stars to leave in 3-4 years without proper replacements.

THat won't happen if you are a Barcelona fans or Real fans or Bayern fans or even ManU fans(then again, they have not replace CR9 but Rooney is still there and probably won't be sold).

I can't be sure about any new signing, but I also think Pato & Silva will remain. The thing Berlusconi always doesn't want is making himself look stupid.


I've just read it:

http://www.football-italia.net/jul29d.html

Gattuso & Allegri were teammates at Perugia, nice news:

The 42-year-old apparently reminded Gattuso of the time they played together at Perugia between 1995 and 1997 when he was the team’s trequartista, clocking up 41 appearances and 10 goals.

“Why do you want to leave just as I’ve arrived?” Allegri asked. “Don’t you remember when we played together at Perugia? C’mon don’t be stupid!”

So Allegri was a trequartista, good. Gattuso's future & future display if he would be in Milan are unclear, but Allegri has a nice speech, surely. Rino deserves the respect and a chance.

Are you serious ?
I mean, really serious ?

Ben Arfa is nothing ans has done nothing in his career. This so called young talent lost his place in Lyon and in Marseille (even if Deschamps finally gave him again a place in the starting XI after February in Marseille last season, but look at the players in the team) ... This so called talent has no brain ... And Ben Arfa can't play like a striker nor like a support striker, no way, he is a winger and if really needed, he can badly play as an AM, but he is a 100% winger and nothing else actually.

Do we need him ?
No ...

we do need a backup for ronaldinho, so YES we need him; If its nothing or Ben Arfa I choose ben arfa, he for sure has the talent and is still young, it could be a good gamble.

Especially as he is injured already supposedly http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/trans...onth-following . Thats a huge problem with our team that mgt really don't understand our squad is so old that they are really easily susceptible to injury.
We get so many injuries to the core of our team Abbiatti Pirlo Nesta Dinho Zambro because they are older players , and mgt just do not see this its real stupid.

Also apparently Allegri wants a midfielder with some characteristics of Pirlo and Rino , and wants to sign Palombo but they'll have to act quick real quick as Samp play in the preliminary CL rounds soon.Other candidates for Milan mgt are M.Diarra Donadel and Blasi....something tells me that we'll end up with the soon to be (3 weeks) 30 year old Blasi that would come for free....Again same as last year Allegri know's what we need but he aint going to get it it looks like.,

since Brazil got eliminated from the WC, I never read not even one rumor about Bastos this summer and I remember he was linked with us for a while last year when he played as an attacking left midfielder. In the WC, he played quite well as a LB too. He looked like the ideal LB for Milan.

Milan are playing Lyon in a couple of days. Maybe we can hope for Galliani to pull a couple of strings when they meet Lyon's president.

The squad for the Emirates cup includes Ronaldinho despite rumors of his injury. It also includes Strasser, Verdi and Beretta but no Oduamadi.

Is Oduamadi actually good ??? never saw him play.About our youth the 17-19 year old Italians are they actually good how many if any were in the Italian U19 squad for the Euro tournament ?? Italy were pretty I heard.
