yeah, he's only on loan to Empoli ... that's his first loan-away year, I think, and judging by his performances, may very well be the last one

From what I've heard another defender, Kaká's brother Digao, has also been doing very well on loan this season. He plays for Serie B side Rimini. Maybe he could be a bit-part player for next season?

Well,if he ain't far the best player in Rimini i can't see how he can play for Milan in serie a-Digao. With Bonera and Nesta we have excelent defence. In defence we only need left back player of world class because,Janku ain't that class. And ofcourse bring us Roni!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah thanks zlat, he and Bonera were in goal.com's Seria A team of the week its good to know, with Cafu going we do have options!

Remember Marzoratti is more a RB than a CB...

Trezeguet announced he'll stay with Juve next year.
I guess now Juve won't need Gilardino and it will end the Buffon-Gila swap deal talks !

yeah, the very first time someone says something like this, ha?
I feel your enthusiasm but I'd wait till the start of next season before getting my hopes up

Yeah , true !
But have in mind he said about 20 times how he'll leave Juve if the team won't be competitive, how he was saying he wants CL, and now this sudden change.
That's what makes me think he'll stay.
Many things could change till late August, tho. You're right !

cmon man ther's noway u believed the gila-BUFFON swap rumors, i like gila and all but this is BUFFON we talking about. The only milan player who i would think about swaping BUFFON for is kaka and i wouldnt. Buffon is irreplaceble.

If Buffon wants to leave then there's nothing we can do. He'll have to be sold and a replace will have to be found.
We've discussed his case many times here on MM and although we disagree on certain matters, i must say some guys did say some logical things and explained why can Buffon leave Juve, even join Milan.

Gila-Buffon swap is smthg i never believed or found logical, at least not a direct swap, but there were so many crazy and unbelievable swap deals in football world ( with Inter as the losers most of the times ) that nothing should be taken for granted.

And Buffon is replaceble, of course. Not in the way : Buffon sold - equally good keeper bought, but he's replaceble in Baggio or Zidane way.
Selling "irreplaceble" Baggio brought a bunch of top quality players who won the CL and made it 3 CL finals in a row.
Selling "irreplaceble" Zidane brought a top trio ( Buffon, Thuram, Nedved) that helped Juve win the league 4 times in 5 seasons and a CL final.
No Juve fan wants Gigi go, but it won't be the end of the world if he's sold, and it may turn out to be a fantastic deal at the end.

u make good points but i hope he stays his the only playa we should do everything to keep him.

What's your opinion of Van De Vaart?. I am addicted to...

As far as Marzoratti as far as i know is more a rb and then a CB, so we can i invest on him.

Will Hildebraand be a free transfer in the summer? He could be an option. Today Gomez (PSV) is seen as a possible target ( just a day after i said i thought he could be a good option ... i must have been psychic for those brief moments )
and a whole host of former Serie A players are rumoured for a return, including Shevchenko
