Summer Mercato 2010

Now I really want Robinho...

Damn, we went from poverty stricken orphans to spoiled brats in about a day or two...

BREAKING NEWS: Milan To Announce Signing Of Manchester City Attacker Robinho On Tuesday - Report

What the hell is this, our mercato looked sh*t about a week ago. I like this

Kala is gone, Hunter is worth 14mil, Ibra and Robinho coming to Milan, damn are we dreaming?

i'm sorry guys but i am not as excited as most here about Robinho & Maxwell each for a different reason:
- Maxwell for me is not the solid fullback we are searching for, he is really not good defensively, not sure if he is an upgrade on Zambro in that department to be honest, the only thing is that he is younger. we have enough average players in defense which we are trying to cut down and there is no way i see Maxwell as anything more than an average player...you can make a 5 min vid about all his mistakes with Barca last season and he was not even a starter.
- as for Robinho, he is a STARTER and that's that. He will not be happy to wait for one of our starters to get injured to have his chance and although he might not cost much (if the 10Mio rumour is true), we will be counteracting all the efforts that were made to cut down the wage bill by putting some1 like him on the bench as back-up. I think we should get a replacement for Dinho-Pato but it should be someone who is not such a high-profile player.

The Mercato so far has been excellent (getting Ibra makes a lot of difference) and getting too excited in the last 2 days might not be such a positive thing. I would be more happy if we do nothing and keep our options open for January maybe than rushing into un-necessary deals now. What we really need to rush now is getting rid of Kala, Janku, Onyewu & Oddo.

I agree with all who said that our midfield is still too old (even with Flamini, Boateng, and Strasser) maybe a Van der Vart is the better option than Robinho: lower profile, lower wages, will be more ready to accept the bench, but still he will have more chances to play as he can replace also Pirlo & Seedorf (probably becoming his long-term replacement)

If we are really going to get Robinio, and we suddenly find ourselves with 5 centrebacks (6 if Coates arrives), then shouldn't we play 3 men in defence - They are strong enough!

------------GK------------------
---Papa---Nesta----Thiago------
Flamini-------Pirlo---------Ambro
------Robinio--------Roni--------
----------Pato--Ibra------------

Even if Robinho is in, I really dont see Borreillo leaving as he is the only mobile tank among all the strikers.

Maxwell is interesting, as he can play the Serginho's role for this new Milan. Beside, he can also play as a left sided attacker if needed.

Is Coates any good?

Ideally with Ribinho coming in, the formation will be most likely be like this.

Bonera-Silva-Nesta-Antonini
Flamini-Ambro
Pato- Robinho-Dinho
ibra

Now I get it, I was thinking along the line of he had great games in the rain or something.

Did he played in the WC?

Yes I know, youtube isn't the best way to judge a player, but it does give you an idea of whether he can pass, tackle etc. Most importantly, if he can do those things, it makes him better than Kaladze.

Any professional footballer is better than KALA, the game changer.....for the other team.
