Thing is, will Alves want to leave Sevilla if they win La Liga?

Dont know if h`ll leave but this guy is sooooooo good...what he just did to Barca is impressive ... Puyol,Marques, Gio all looked like clowns...

We need to have this guy in our team next year!!! OMg

Shame he couldn't have scored right at the end from either of the two chances he had (though he did striker the crossbar) ... but then Etoo and Kanoute had far more embaressing misses

You got Oddo 40 days ago. I think there's 0% chance Milan will go after another top quality RB this summer.
But he is having brilliant 2 seasons, i agree.

I think they might go for another guy, or at least they need after Cafu leaves this summer

when cafu goes we will need some sort of cover at right-back tony. Bringing Mazoratti back is one option, the other is to get another right-back.

I'm not sure Alves will want to leave anyway, if he does Barcelona and Liverpool will probably be the two favourites for him.

edit: well, make that his 3rd year at PSV ...

Chelsea loan Alex to PSV until the end of the season...It was said some time ago that Capello wanted Alex to R. Madrid, and both teams reached a agreement...but, who knows??

You´re right, 3rd year at PSV...and is the front runner for MVP of Eredivisie. BTW, Alex was the MVP of Eredivise first half of the season...and this is a great acomplishment for a defender in a offensive oriented league...It´s not everyday that a defender beat offensive hyped players like Snidjer(sp?), Huntelaar(sp?) for a MVP prize

BTW, Alves was amazing(one more time) today!!! Sevilla played a big part of the game with 10 players, and Alves at the final was running like it was the first half...amazing!!

I really hope that we don´t spend this money to purchase Ronaldinho Ronaldinho and Kaká will not work, like in my Brazil NT...Berlusconi just need to watch Brazil NT team to play, and he will know that a Kaká/Robinho pair make the team mutch better...It´s not a coincidence that Robinho send Ronaldinho to the bench in Brazil NT.
BTW, since Berlusconi like brazilians players, with that money(Ronaldinho), Milan can buy Alves(20M), Robinho(18M) and Alex(15M) and some future stars like Lucas and Pato to develop in other team...
Ronaldinho is an amazing player(and person), but the guy needs a team playing around(and for) him, and IMO we can´t be dependent of just one player...so, I´m all against the purchase of Ronaldinho.

Hello fans, as you already know, Robinho has been having a rollercoaster season at Real and has even mentioned that he would not mind a return to Santos. According to Goal.com, Real are offering Robinho for 18 million Euros. I think 18 million euros is underpriced for a player of Robinho's calibre and that is because he has not settled well with Real. I believe Robinho would fit and adapt well into Milan. I think we should think seriously about Robinho since luring Ronaldinho at this moment in time is impossible, your thoughts?

Not all at once though, too many non EU players.

How many non eu players can we buy in the summer? Is it just 1 or is it 2?

Robinho for £12 million would be very tempting and better for the team given that we'd have alot more left over to spend on other areas. However i hate us dealing with madrid, it fills me with fear.

it''s just 1 ... and of those Brazileiro mentioned, only Alves and Lucas have EU passports

I thought it was 1, i was just checking.

Though i don't know or understand why Italy have to be different regarding Non-EU player laws. Spain operates on a 1 in 1 out policy i think and i'm sure several other leagues do the same. Did the Italian F.A. vote for this or is it to do with Italy's governmental laws or something?

I think virtually all of the big leagues in Europe have this "1 in 1 out" policy for non-EU players, except for Italy that is ... and I believe it has nothing to do with any government laws and such but it's the FIGC that decided on this restriction in order to limit the influx of foreign players coming into Serie A, while still allowing teams to be able to have as many non-Eu players as they might want, in a way.

In certain aspects it does have it's advantages as it allows italian clubs to have unlimited number of foreigners - for instance Milan can by as many non-EU players, who are already playing in Serie A or B, as they wish.
When it comes, however, to Italian clubs competing with other European teams for non-Eu players coming from other leages, European or not, the italians are clearly in a disadvantage.

Robinho, Alves, Suazo, Rosina, Abidal, Cannavaro, Barusso, keeper ....

that is my current shopping list and the fact that Alves, Rosina & Suazo have all scored either today or yesterday is an added bonus

I guess it's a safe bet to say that your middle initial is M. ... for "Modest"

i havent seen rosina play, is he good jim?

yeah i agree with with your list, maybe if we cant get Abidal zambrotta could be an option.

If Sheva does come back, would he take up one of the EU slots?
