Summer Mercato 2010

Alot of rumors today and yesterday:

- I was very disappointed yesterday we spent our Non-EU spot on a youth player called Sebastian Coates. He is an Uruguayan young CB that's about 1.97m tall and is 18-19. Good news from today is that he has a Spanish passport.

- We have signed another Uruguayan today - 22 year old right back Bruno Montelongo, who also has an Italian passport. There isn't much info about him but wikipedia has him already listed as a Milan player lol. If we signed him though - shouldn't it be on the official website already? It's not.

- Ibra is getting closer and closer. As Hasan said, signing Ibra would give that much needed swag, however I would prefer Robinho/Dzeko. Robinho still is looking for a club btw, and only clubs that want him are Turkish ones, so let's not close the book yet on this.

- Janku & Kaladze could leave. I don't understand how we can terminate their contracts without money. If we will lose money, let them train for an entire year and fine them if they miss any trainings. If we can simply rescind without paying their wages for the next year, let's go for it. Abate also seems out (good riddance, I never thought he was good enough). Montelongo will be a direct replacement for Abate, and rumors say Coates will one of our CBs in our first squad come August 31 (ruling out Bochetti).



wow so many players linked with us today this is not normal for milan, i need a panadol

In what part of 'looks good, link?' did I say he was a centre back?

Bruno Montelongo was the player I was taling about. He is a leftback, not a rightback. There is a very good video of him on youtube. Looks like he can tackle and play with the ball.

By the way both of these went to the under 20 (I think) worldcup with Cardaccio, Vuidez and Cavani.

can't seem to find the video, help out your milanista brothers here and send us a link

Oh sorry it was Tony75 who said it

Ibra in and kale and janku out would be a dream come true for me, heck any of the so called champions out of Milan is a dream for me.

No problem.

Hitman, sorry, all these uruguans are confusing me.

The player I saw a video of and asked for a news report link was Sebastian Coates. He is the leftback. Here is the video:

Who is better? I know we need fullbacks but does he have the quality to play in the first team?

from youtube I got only get a good link for coates and he was impressive, but then it was youtube. Better than bonera, yepes in def, and seemed to have good pass forward and obviously wins most headers with height.

Robinho made a statement today: he doesn't want to leave in Turkey.
He also said he has offers coming from Italy and Spain. Medias think the two clubs are Milan and Barcelona.

And now, that lets me think that if we get Ibrahimovic, we will have to let Robinho go to Barcelona ... and we would have no choice: by refusing, we could get nobody, Ibra could stay in Barcelona and Barcelona could do a kind of forcing to get Robinho. Anyway, right now, friends or not, if I were an official of Barcelona, it's something I would include in the deal with Milan for Ibrahimovic.

For the 2 young players, I didn't see anything official, nor unofficial on TMW.

If they stay, we'll lose tax money for their wages.

This could be at least a warning for them. If the contract is recinded, their reputation would be affected badly and the new wage for them at new clubs would be much smaller.

Better a warning than really terminating, but the latter is still good.

Robinho over Ibrahimovic though for me. I bet he could play trequartista and less expensive. Does he have an English passport?
