You can, but in that case Barcelona can sue Milan for doing the same thing with Ronaldinho !

You must look at it that way also. What Real is doing to Milan fans with Kaka rumours, Milan is doing to Barcelona fans with constant rumours about getting Dinho !

I will not deny the cases are similar, however if you look at our comments about Ronaldinho and Real's comments and actions over Kaka, you can see there is a difference.

Vadim, I suggest you only by Maldini jerseys from now on! It is a sure bet that it will never be dusty in the back of the closet!

I disagree. Milan's comments until now are of far different tone to Real's regarding Kaka. Whilst Real bullishly keep claiming they will get Kaka, he wants to go there, and they personally have talked to him about wanting to leave Milan for Real, Milan have not said much with regards to Ronaldinho coming to us, other than some denials of there being talks and were there to be an opportunity to get him, we'd love to have him. Of course, you could say that R10's agent has talked to Milan, but then again, he also happends to be the agent of Oliveira, so they will obviously be talking.

Personally though, I won't blame Real this time. It's not the clowns that run the club that seem to be shooting their mouths off about this supposed agreement, it's the Spanish Press.

Already got one

BTW I agree with everything that you said, Dev. The two situations are entirely different. When has Galliani or Silvio ever said "Ronaldinho will be a Milan player" or anything remotely related to that. Never. The closest I've seen is an article on channel4 related "Ronaldinho Flattered by Berlusconi's Admiration" or something like that. How is that similar to the Kaka situation? Now we may be in talks with his agent, but at least our management is being respectful to Barca.

We can, and should never be compared to Madrid: a gentlemans club run by boys, and AC Milan, a gentlemans club run by gentlemen (who sometimes act boyishly)

for a moment I read between lines "A.C. Milan Gentlemen's Club"

SANT!!! We should open one!!! What do u think...red and black theme....the costumes would be inexpensive....I like it! I like it!!

"A.C. Milan Gentlemen's Club"

Brilliant! Only if you allow a few Ladies into the club though....but then it wouldn't be called a gentlemen's club will it? OK fine, be that way.

As for Ricky Kaka, well. I love that boy, I do. i was happy to read the latest news about his choice to stay. BUT. I'm no fool to beleive anything that comes out of a footballer's mouth regarding transfers. He can pledge his loyalty all he wants, he can write his name in blood on the San Siro turf, while Paolo chants the Milan hymn and dances around him in a grass skirt ...whatever. But that doesn't mean he won't change his mind in a few months, or that circumstances won't MAKE him change his mind... I do hope he stays for years and years, and becomes a Milan legend. But like I said, I won't beleive him until I SEE it happen. Actions speak louder than words.

If we sell KAka' for ANY amount of money, or ANY players involved, we are simply IDIOTS! We didnt make mistake, bad transfer, smart oney investment, we are officially IDIOTS. But I believe Kaka' will stay in Milan. Look at this:
Diarra - ok player, we do need him. But why dont we BUY HIM?????? ( yes I know, you actually need some money to run a club...oh,wait, our owner has 11 bilion!!! )
Robinho - trash compared to KAka'! ZERO points on him.
CANNAVARO - super CB, but will be 34 yext year....34!


So, just keep Kaka' and invest properly in new Milan. Kaka' has potential to become more of a player than Sheva was, he is already better then Ronaldinho who is 3 or 4 years older than him. Kaka' is class, a super player and a future for Milan. If Galliani and Berlusconi sell him at any price, they should all just leave from the club they "love".

Hate to sound melodramatic and corny......but Kaka represents everything good about Milan:
He is young, good looking , principled , fast , strong , skilled, charismatic, humble, intelligent and thus far has been very loyal.

Kaka came to Milan quietly as a great team player.....not as the "next Pele" like Robinho...who surely flattered to deceive or like other Real players who started off hot and sweaty and eventually fizzle out. Kaka's understated brilliance reminds me of a Zidane with speed....if and WHEN he begns to take free kicks he would be hands down better than Ronaldinho. What especially endears me to him is when he said on Milan weekly that he wants to be our Captain.....and trust me I have seen him in action as a Captain for Brazil,,,and he is phenomenal

So far, we are building another great team:

1) If Ronaldo takes care of his body we have IMHO the best player ever for 4 years. Ronaldo has done things Ronaldinho and Kaka can only dream of

2)By far the best defender ever in Maldini and if he decides to stay on for the next year I won't complain...his lack of pace will be compensated for with his vast experience and his ability to lift his team mates

3)Kaka the best midfielder in the world

4)Dida the best shot stopper ever....I know that Buffon is the best Keeper but Dida can save things no other keeper can

5)Gattuso is one of the best cdm in the world

6)Gorcuff one of the best talents in the game today


The rest ain't too shabby either

If we get:
ronaldinho (currently the world's best player), and a good LB...I'd say we're pretty much set

Well, we do have a very very good left back. Jankulovski has been brilliant this season and is starting to look like the player he was in Udinese. I wouldn't substitute him now simply because there is no reason. The guy is performing great.

As for Kaka, I don't believe any of the rummors. Kaka will stay at Milan for years to come because Milan won't sell him. However, the day that Kaka doesn't want to stay at Milan anymore then in my eyes he is welcomed to go. We are not a desperate little miserable team that will beg its players to stay and not allow them to leave when they clearly don't want to be in Milan. Anyhow, back to Kaka.....he has never given even the slightest of clues that he is even thinking about moving from Milan. Milan likes Kaka and Kaka likes Milan. I am pretty sure that it will stay that way for years to come.

And as for the rummors, why would be want an overrated Robinho, who honestly hasn't done anything in Europe since arriving from Brazil. He was one of the most hyped players in the last few years and yet nothing has come from his tallent. Also, why would we want a 34 year old Cannavaro. As for Diarra, I think he would be a great addition but if it means losing Kaka to get Diarra then NO THANX.

Milan apparently sent MS a letter telling them that what they wrote are lies

I'll try to sort out players we should have in Milanello at the beggining of the summer and you people can add your realistic "wishes" for the summer.....

GK: Storari, Kalac.... ? GK ?
LB: Jankulovski, Serginho, Griimi ( we dont need any more )
RB: Oddo, Bonera.... maybe some young RB from primavera can be usefull.....
CD: Nesta, Kaladze, Maldini, Simic, Bonera.....
CM: Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf, Gourcuff, Brocchi, Ambrosini, Kaka', RONALDINHO, SNEIJDER ( plays brilliantly this season...), Di GEnnaro??
CF: Ronaldo, Gila, Pippo... sell Oli!
