Damn I was really warming up to the idea of Constant arriving, I really like that player, I think he is a much better version of Boateng. I am not sure what this issues are, but I think it has something to do with him already transfering twice this season?

Can anyone (Capo_Ultra, Maltese_Charlie) give us more information on this?

I read on another forum that he's already played for 2 teams this year, and apparently either UEFA or FIGC prohibits playing for 3 teams.

what about krancjar as the midfielder. is croatia EU?

Also by the summer we can see how Cassano works out...

How much do you expect us to get for all of them compined? i am eating raw peanuts at this moment and wondering if the trash can be traded for them all...

Janku will be out of contract in June for sure.
I think Seedorf will also be out of contract too, but he will be renew with like 1 mil a year or something.
Bonera still got another year left after this summer.
Yepes won't be going anywhere unless he wants to leave for first team football, if thats the case, 2mil max.
Papa/Sokratis is on loan, so can't really sell him.
Onyewu, well, I think EPL teams might pay 5 mil for him after he destroys Crouch in CL.

it seems Milan is after a midfield, and the target is Lazzari. i wish Constant could come...

However, Milan needs a midfielder, not a DM or a holder, but a 2 way midfielder, in both aspects very good.

in today's GDS interview, Nesta said something interesting, about renewal and his last year. He said that Silva is still speaking bad italian so he didnt mean that Nesta could retire, and he meaned that its his last year of his Milan contract. so lets not expect David Luiz but Mexes...

No he's not.

define milan material, because if it what I think it is, Oneywu, Strasser, s.Papa, Oddo, Marek, Abate, b.monto, bonera, abbiati, yepes, antonini,oduamdi are not MilanMatterial,
Seedorf Flamini, Zombrotta, Amelia, Pirlo, are not in Milan Material type form.

and i remember people saying KPB is not milan material, yet he is unquestionably one of our best midfielders this season, problably only behind Gattuso (Who apart from this season, was not in MilanMaterial type form or the last 3 years)

SO MY Question AGAIN what is MILANMATERIAL?

now there may be reasons why we shouldnt sign him(Krancjar), but I KNOW for a fact, he is better than alot of player we currently have.

On a last Note look at r80, he is the definition of Milan Material, and look how that turned out.
Gourcuff wasnt MilanMaterial either and we also saw how that turned out.

Krancjar even as more goals for croatia than BOBAN.

my point is not to say we should buy krancjar, but i suggested his name for feedback, i do not not see, He is not MilanMaterial as constructive feedback, especially when arguments can be made to show that he is better than some players currently on our roster.

We need non Milan material for backups or at least to compensate high wages from our Milan material like Pato, Ibra, Pirlo, Nesta, Silva and former Milan material like Seedorf, Zambrotta, Inzaghi. But we can not fill our squad with only non Milan material players.

From my side, Krancjar is definitely non Milan material but IF he is a creative player with sufficient football ability AND low wages, we can take him to sub Pirlo or as alternative for midfield department.

OK now this is more what i was looking for. I Know Krancjar is not the best at his positon, he is actually far from the best at his position, but he is definately good enough to play for milan, as you cannot have a worldclass player at every position, thats unreasonable. He isnt gonna make our midfield the best in serie A, but he will offer attributes that could make it better.
We are not even linked to him, but i brought him up for constructive argument, to get feedback from different people, from different sides of the world.

plus i think it is said hotspurs are looking for 4.5 mil for him, which i know is Milan type pricing, seeing that we were not willin to pay 5 mil for cassano.

another point/question, i do not see the hype behind Lazzari, 1 he plays for Cagliari (i guess ill see him for the first tomorrow) but he is 26 hasnt been called up for italy and really has no youtube video, just one really good goal.

Im not saying i based skills on youtube, but anyone who is somewhat good has multiple youtube videos. I saw coentrao on youtube from 2007, when he wasnt even as close to as good as he is now.
I am also not saying he wont be a good player for Milan if we do buy him, because i understand that some players are late bloomers

SO i am asking what makes Lazzari a good buy, because to be honest, i know most of yall did not know him before Allegri said he wanted him here at milan. because based on material i can find on him, he has nothing going for him except Allegri's confidence in him.

Reza have you decided the name for our new forum yet? Just a suggestion, how about Milan Material?

Website address will be the same, milanmania.com, we could add a Milan Material section, page or subforum

though you are gonna keep the url MilanMania, if you thinking of changing the the theme of the website i like
Milan-ani-AC or (milaniac) is a name ive always liked. AC Milan = Milan AC

other Ideas i would suggest is have a section for NEWS, where u can maybe take feeds from other websites. this would reduce the number of websites we have to go to. its just an idea.
(an example is http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/?search=A...rchheadlines=1) where the dont write there own articles, but take feeds from other sites.

this would also bring more traffic to the website i believe, as me for example, i am only active on this website during the transfer widows. if there was news involving milan then i think i would be visit this site more.

One of the benefits of the new format will be that the front page (the non-forum page, what is now milanmania.com) will have news and not just posted by me or one person but others too, we can have editors who can add news. That can become very close to what you described. We will have a news section and we can set aside a section to call milaniac too.

Thanks payne.
