Ibra wishes to END his career @ Milan!!

Which means he will be in Milan till he is 36 like Pippo. In short, Berlu will be saying he got a squad full of champions again in 4 yrs time. the cycle will never end

Ganso still has 3-4 months before coming back from his injury, right?

That's how it works at Milan. He'll be playing alongside Dinho and Seedorf the next 5-6 years...

Ibra is fine for next 5-6 yrs, since he is based on skills more than power and speed. I will pass on both Dinho and Seedorf.

Mario Balotelli has revealed his desire to play with Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic one day in the future.

The 20-year-old Manchester City centre-forward is already being linked with a move back to San Siro after he was seen dining with Adriano Galliani after Sunday's Derby della Madonnina.

It's no secret that Balotelli is a Milan supporter. He famously played for Inter alongside Ibrahimovic before the latter left for Barcelona in the summer of 2009 and shares the same agent.

“One day I would like to return to playing with Ibrahimovic,” Balotelli told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “It doesn't matter what shirt I wear. It would be great.”

Speaking ahead of Italy's friendly with Romania, Balotelli was casting his eye over the Azzurri's history, looking in particular at a photograph of the 1982 World Cup winning side.

“They are all famous faces, but I don't remember all the names. The one with the frizzy hair [Claudio Gentile] stopped Maradona, right?”

Looking back at his time at Inter, he said: “Together with Cesare Prandelli and Roberto Mancini, Jose Mourinho is the best Coach that I've had.

“He made me stronger in the head. When he first criticised me it knocked me. The second time too. The third time I responded. The fourth I responded and I listened.

“Now if a Coach criticises me, it doesn't demoralise me anymore.”

Coutinho: 'Io come Zanetti. Neymar? Pronto per l'Italia'

Neymar, 18enne talento del Santos, rivela: "Voglio la Juve, il suo fascino non si batte".

"L'Inter mi cerca, ma preferisco la maglia bianconera. L'Inter è la squadra dove ha giocato Ronaldo, uno dei miei miti. L'Inter ha prestigio, ma, nessuno si offenda, la Juve mi piace di più".

L'attaccante ha una clausola rescissoria di 35 milioni. Per il suo club non è in vendita, ma lui già da gennaio vuole venire in Europa.

Dinho out, Rossi in! That would be sweet!!
And I wouldnt sell Robinho, he hasnt been fantastic but not bad either, he is improving IMO!

its all depent on system that we will play with, 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-3.

in 4-3-3 i would rather to have Honda to link up with 2 box to box, Flamini or Boateng or Jucieli. 2 of them plus Honda would be nice midfield trio.

Then focusing on the FB's would be sweet, Coentraro and Van Der Wiel for instance.

Central back problem, in 4-3-3, David Luiz who can play FB would be better.

in 4-3-1-2 i'd rather to have Pastore. he is doing very well at the moment, improving. i dont think he is out of our reach.

Selling Robinho is insane. Milan doing well without Dinho and Pato is because we have a tactically strong Seedorf and a tactically free Binho. The Brazilian captian is everywhere. If you ask a coach how to defend Robinho, he'd be like, uh, I'm not sure...Pato is a way better finisher so far, but he holds the ball too long and not as stealthy as Binho.

I don't know about Honda playing in Midfield.

From what I understand he's more of a #10, who plays further up the field (Diego-esque)

Probably similar to Pastore. Pastore would of course be the choice of all of us, however I think all of us are getting ahead of ourselves:

Pastore: €25 Miliion
Honda: €12-15 Million
Ganso: €8-15 Million
Jucilei: €10-15 Million
Coentrao: €20-25 Million
Van der Wiel: €20-25 Million
Lazzari: €10-12 Million ?
G. Rossi: €20-25 Million
Neymar: €25-35 Million
Dzeko: €30-40 Million
Poli: ???

All of these *estimated* prices are very high. I don't see us buying more than 2 players (IF THAT). That's assuming we dump:

Ronaldinho: €8-10 Million in January or NOTHING in the summer
Bonera: €5
Jankulovski: Contract Expires
Oddo: Contract Expires
Seedorf: €5 Million or let Contract Expire
Inzaghi: Contract Expires
Onyewu: Contract Expires in 2012

* When is Pirlo's contract up?
* Anyone else I'm missing?

* I know we get €10 Million for Borriello in June
* We also have to Pay for Boateng if we decide to BUY in June from Genoa

TMW reported that we were going to buy both Amelia (we have an option to buy) and Boateng (he is co-owned right now) as soon as possible and we will wait until the end of the season for Sokratis ... If we don't keep Sokratis, and by knowing Yepes has only a one year contract, that means we'll need 2 new CD next season, which isn't the best way to start the next summer mercato !!

I think we should keep Sokratis and secure a new good CD (with already some experience) before the start of the summer mercato ...

Galliani repeated again that our roster in attack was good as it is right now even without Inzaghi ... I'd tend to say he's maybe right, essentially if Pato can be injury free in the next part of the season. But when Galliani says such a thing, that generally means we'll buy someone. I'm more concerned when he says we're going to sign Mister X !!

Anyone know what CB's are available or we would be interested in? I don't remember being linked to any.

I don't know, some of the best CD in Italy are already "signed" (recently joined them or co-owned) by some of our rivals ...

That means we will probably have to look for a CD in other championships: I don't see us getting any CD coming from the French Ligue 1 (except Adil Rami from Lille ?) or Premiership right now, and I don't think we'll go for a Spanish one. That lets us with the Brazilian links like David Luiz (I saw him in the Benfica-Lyon game, I have to admit he was awful, but people tend to say he's very good, so it was probably just one bad game), Miranda, and other players playing in Brazil.

We were linked recently with these 3 names ...
