AC Milan make offer for Betis striker Oliveira

Well, both of you actually. Maybe Milan won't buy another striker. I think the guys on the roster now can handle the load just fine, but I also wouldn't rule it out. We just don't know what is going on behind the scenes, so anything can happen.

Well...Hello everybody

I see we won't buy Ronaldo. That's a shame, I think he and Kaka are awesome together and I think this Oliveira offer is comming out of despair. Im not gonna ask what happened to Tevez hopes Anyhow,

-----------------Gila/Pippo


-------------Kaka

Seedorf
-------------------------Gourcuff
----------------Gattuso
--------Pirlo

---------------------------Bonera/Cafu
-Serginho----------Nesta
----------Kaladze

------------Dida--------------

Is not that bad, seriously !! And even more so because we have Foggia and Boriello who can play in Seedorfs place like a striker which i think is GREAT for us.

ehm.....Apocalipse now......

Well, I do not know Oliveira at all, so I cannot really comment on his (possible) transfer. But I would have to agree with Tas, that Ronaldo could be great with Kaka at Milan. Like him or not, his statistics says it all - he makes a lot of goals where ever he plays..
But something tells me, this is not over yet. I think we will still bring in another striker and a new defender also.

wow... at least the management hasn't gone bonkers for Ronaldo... Oliveira might not carry the same degree of exposure & hype... but one thing is for sure... gettin' him is definitely a step-up compared to Ronaldo... finally i can breathe some relief... no Ronaldo... & a decent striker close to bein' wrapped up...

Sigh....

Many say that we saved money which will allow us to buy more players.

Firstly, Milan always said they were not a 'selling' club, so the 30mil by Sheva sale shouldn't be there in the first place because i'm sure they didn't plan for it.

So, what are we saving for?

Secondly, we have a god damn 40 year old defence line, shouldn't we have signed some defenders by now, irregardless of our CL qualification.

What if Milan don't sign anyone else?

Everything I want on that case is to be wrong, I'll be really very glad if the board manage to surprise me.

I watched Oliveira sometime, because I wanted to watch Joaquin. I'm really suprise that Milan wants to him though he is quite good. Some friends told me this's official and the fee is P15M <heart attack>. So anyone please tell me exactly what is going on.

Yup! That's somewhat true, maybe more like 12Million Euros.

I really don't know what to feel about this transfer....

I have no more feeling... Feel numb....

Good. I thought I was the only guy here who never heard of him

this is exactly what I don't want Milan to do, getting a panic buy.

I doubt Oliveria is an upgrade from Pippo and Gila.

If this is indeed true, then Milan board have let me down again

I really think this entire transfer season has been a let down for Milan and the fans. We all expected to be busy like all the major European clubs are. I don't want us to buy for the sake of buying, but rather buy for the sake of improving. I don't think that our defense got old overnight. I don't think that Sheva left us a day ago. We just aren't doing anything about it and it's evidently clear. Our time is limited now. We must act now or lose any possibility of signing anybody for the new campaign.

As a mod, I would say that it's our fault; simply because we sometimes let people go too far...

Buy olivera is a bad move...
He´s not a good player... He´s not a Milan Player... He´s a Betis Player...
This situation sucks...

Oliviera may be an average player who can play for teams like Valencia (even they got rid of him as soon as they signed him)............i dont understand why milan is spending 12 million on oliviera.....instead it would be good to spend 20 million or more on tevez...........and also a good centre back like chivu............

what happened milan..............................only gourcuff & bonera seems to be a positive signing......all the rest is negative

sheva left
rui costa left
abbiatti left

maldini is ageing
costacurta is ageing
seedorf is ageing
cafu is ageing

we badly need replacements

I don't think clubs will want to let go of anyone important without any chance of replacing them.

Time is running out...
