Summer Mercato 2010

I can't believe it.
We bought Robinho also. OMG.

Now a very hard job awaits Allegri, both tactically and mentally.
He needs to find a way to play all of them regularly and keep the balance, keep them happy so they won't start partying and missing trainings (Robinho and ronnie especially), handle Berlu and his annoying "advices" and so on...hope he's capable...

Anyway, thanks to Berlu and, of course, FORZA MILAN!!!!!!

We would make a strong team if another world class center back and 2 world class left and right defenders join. BTW, who is Kevin Boateng? Is he any good? I heard he is as good as Edgar Davis of Juventus? Sorry I havent followed the news lately.

Galliani said:
"We're all happy, one more time, I thank the president Silvio Berlusconi who did a big economical effort. Ibrahimovic and Robinho arrived, something extraordinary, now we really have a team of stars, a team I wouldn't trade with any other team in Europe. If I think about what we've done ... We're really good. It's a great campaign of reinforcements and the fans have understood it, we see it from the subscriptions and the enthusiasm."

Our new friend, Raiola said:
"My mercato is closed [it's for Reza, Galliani didn't say it, Raiola did !! ]. The balance is very positive, when my players are happy, then I'm also happy and now, I can join my son who started school yesterday. Robinho ? I can't reveal the details of the agreement, it wouldn't be correct, however, what counted the most was the will of Milan to build an attack of stars. And the truth is that Milan is the only club who has brought champions in the Italian championship this year."

A couple of weeks ago, Ronadinho switch with Robinho was already very good mercato for us and now we have both and with a notice that Ronaldinho is in fit condition! Plus Ibra our mercato should be really great. And now with Kaladze left Milan this should be perfect mercato, at least from the point of view a couple of weeks ago where Ibrahimovic was a real dream and Ibra plus Robinho was something forbidden to say after we got Ibra since it would not possible to hope Robinho after getting Ibra (which is logic).

WOW!

ps : I am remembering times where I talked with Reza in this thread about posting a post while dreaming and the rename of this thread to somekind of Fantasy Mercato or so!

Reza:

Drenthe went to Hercules on loan...boy, I wish we could jump in there also

Because there are rich clubs like Barca, Man City & Real, who buy the world best player but can't use them

Things couldn't be that easy some years ago.

For central back we could need him but now we have Nesta and pretty well covered by Yepes and Sokratis. Two world class fullbacks will be hard to find and to buy especially if know Berlusconi 'only' buy WC strikers or attacking midfielder! So, I think we should let Galliani do his job to find Sokratis' type of player, not a CB but a fullback or two.

Said on sky that Robinho cost £22 million some dude outside Man City's stadium reporting mentioned it.That seems alot no Im not happy anymore......ofcourse I am as happy as a p.i.g in sh1t.

Anyone hear anything from Hitman I think he may of legit exploded...what is it called spontanious combustion.....save journey bro.

Ok, stich, enough is enough.

We bought Ibra, Robinho, Boateng, Yepes, Sokratis, Amelia, bunch of youngsters.....i think it's quite enough.

And who is Sokratis, Strasser? Lots of unfamiliar names and I dont know any of them.

If we pay Ibra for 24 mil and it's a loan type of agreement, how could we pay more less equal for Robinho with straight purchase? Ibra is definitely older than Robinho but still Ibra's price should be much higher than Robinho. It means, no way Milan pay 22 mil pounds for Robinho. I still believe, it is 15 mil euros.

He said that included bonuses and add-ons. The base figure is more like 16 and it could rise depending on the terms. At least that's what's coming out of the U.K. Italian sources have quoted less. Probably it will end up somewhere in between.

Sokratis is a very good CD/RB, Greek, 22 years old or something, bought from Genoa. Huge potential.

Strasser is a milan youth product, 20 years old, or something.

While Sokratis huge potential, we still have a ready-to-play player, Yepes who can come in to substitute one of our CB.
