Still remember Oddo's stint with Bayern.

It makes sense to loan at this point. I'm pretty sure a loan deal can be agreed on more quickly than negotiating a full transfer, and at this point time is of the essence.

All 4 of them are world class players, but one of them will have to play less, much less. Can Allegri do it? Wil that influence on positive atmosphere etc. Robinho wants to play full time, no? He will not do it in here...

I'm not brasileiro ( ) but this seems to be heavily debated atm. Robinho will not come as a sub imo. We need rotation and Robinho should be used frequently, often used in place of Pato, Dinho and even Ibra.

Also we need a player who can be an alternative to Pato. Last season showed how much we rely on Pato and we need a quality player who can play his role (last season it was meant to be Mancini, but he failed). Preseason also highlighted our Pato-reliance as we struggled to score in every match he didn't play.

Finally, Robinho may well a signing for next year rather than this. This is a chance to get him for cheap thanks to Man City wanting to trim their squad and Ronaldinho's long term future is still in doubt. Having a player like Robinho ready to take over should he leave in January or next summer is very important.

It's odd having Raiola acting as our "ambassador" lol. As someone said (I think Geo), Moggi has said it's good to keep a good relationship with Raiola and it looks like that's what our management want to do. Makes me think of the famous quote "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer".

Agreed, well at least he doesn't want tracking back to be a big part of his role. The guy wants to play fairly high up the pitch. I think it was at CSKA he was asked to play in midfield but didn't like it.

It's good to have this guy on our side ... But I'm scared of the day he will decide his players need another club, it could explode in our face.

Anyway, it seems he's one of the best to find talent, why not giving him a role in the club ? I'm sure he would be successful, and with all the links he has had (he finds the players worth coming in Milan, and you let him start the negotiations), it would be quiet easy to get new players.

About Huntelaar, he confirmed he accepted the offer of Schalke 04. He said he didn't want to leave but he needs to play, and with Ibrahimovic coming, it meant he would almost never play. So Huntelaar will have failed in Real Madrid and Milan. Sad for him. Good luck in Gelsenkirchen !!

one thing we can say Klass never was and thats impatient or a bad influence, all he did is try and work hard! Good luck Klass!

Agreed, Huntelaar was one I wished had more chances to prove himself on th pitch. Unfortunately, he didn't have the physicality to make it in Italy. Nonetheless, he is a true professional who never complained and gave his all for the shirt when he had the chance. I feel bad for him because he came to us at a time when we were in transition, and never got to see the best of times with us or experience the best of his teammates.

Good luck Hunter! Dispite the short years with us, you will always be respected and appreciated!

Ryo's post made me emotional i was always a fan of the hunter and wish him all the best myself

I love Robinho, but where does he fit? You certainly cannot bench Ronaldinho and Robinho is not the kind of player you keep as a reserve.

"Inter are going down their own path, they don't need to think about me," Ibrahimovic told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "But until I arrived, they hadn't won anything." Big Love for Zlatan saying this!!

Good news that 6 of the next 7 Serie A rounds will be on Saturday evening (one on Sat afternoon) and 1 will be on Monday (napoli x milan). So this means all of those games will be on TV as there will be no other games at the same time.
