Summer Mercato 2010

Giovinco deadweight??????
seriously??? and for 3.5 for 50%??? i only assumed that the only reason that we did not pay that and get him is that Juve will not sell him to us...or at least not for that price....he would have been a huge addition to the squad....anyway, i hope he explodes at Parma...Italy certainly needs some new stars.

as for veloso, the only reason his clause is at 6.5Mio is because they included Zapater in their offer.

VDV seems to be a very good option too

by the way, no matter what anybody says, so far our mercato has been miles better than last year:
by now, last season, we had lost our Captain, our star player as well as his replacement (Gourcuff) and got Oddo back from Bayern.
this year we did not sell or lose any 1st team player, we got 2 very decent back-ups for the defence, as well as a free decent gk without paying anything...
it's easy to look good with last year's mercato as benchmark....but i'll take t anyway

Don't forget we also managed to decrease the wages bill ...

PS: Sorry Geo I read your signature million times but I can't resist making fun of them.

Well, we sold them Storari and both clubs announced that there were good relations between both clubs again with the new Juventus management. So I simply think we didn't even try ...
About my signature, I read it to make fun of them too ...

PS: I also had another expression related to Inter (about CL), but as they won CL last season, it totally changed the meaning and could have let others think I was for Inter ... I couldn't have tolerated that !!

And Milan managed to balance it's book

We said many times here that by doing smart moves, we could do a good mercato (compared to the previous ones) with a very limited budget ... isn't it what they're trying to do this time ? Seems they listened to us, not really with the players we all spoke about, but still, they got players ...

http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/milan...dzLml0LTMwNTYy
The agent of Honda denies the 13M offer reported on Internet ... he didn't deny the interest of Milan for his player, nor the interest of his player for Milan, nor the interest for the sponsors to see such a deal happen, he just denied this offer.

And it is reported that Verdi and Albertazzi (like each year) will still play with the Primavera this season.

News say Milan wants VdV from Madrid and the price is 8-10mln.. fair price, even a small one for a player that has quality and is versatile. He can play on both wings in 4-3-3, as a player in front on 2 dm's, as a seconda punta...

On tottomercato there are always good articles about our mercato by italian journalist who follow it all better then us. Its calculated that Milan would earn 30-33 mln from selling Hunter, Rino, Marek and Kaladze ( wage money included). That is a lot of money that can be invested wisely. The man who wrote it also says Galliani has 9mln to go with right now... great...

Thanx Silvio!

Just sell those few players we can and that is it, Rino is no longer able to give what he used to, and he sees it and is being extremely fair and great person right now! Hunter cannt do well unless its 4-4-2.

Im still waiting for Ibra or Dzeko though...

It's the problem: selling Jankulovski and Kaladze ... I think it won't be possible as they refuse everything. We should maybe give them a new contract with a 1M salary instead of the 3M they earn ? Who knows, both said that if they don't move, it's not because of money, so we could play their game and publicly offer them a new decreased contract, just to see if they're honest ...

About our formation, Allegri plays with 2 strikers a priori, so Huntelaar could be useful.

Allegri can say hatever he wants, but we dont have central AM. Please, and I know you will not , do not say that maybe Dinho can play it, becouse since PSG he hasnt played it and will not now. Or at least he cannot do it well anymore.

The thing Id hate is that once again like last year, we start the season and 7-8 rounds we are searching for the formation.

The new super-attacking, unbalanced formation could be:
----------Pirlo--Flamini----
---Vdv-----Kawasaki----Dinho-----
------------Pato------------

a midfield with flamini, seedorf, abate, vdv, honda, r80, pirlo and ambro would be pretty good. we would have alot of options and a good amount of creativity. if allegri can find a right balance between playing times with four midfield spots. also r80, vdv and honda can all play the second striker aswell which will be advantageous in substitution situations.

It seems we're going the right way

for two tops formation, our current forwards are enough, we just need an ACM, Van der Vaart or Honda is fine.

Waiting... Hoping...

Hopes he'd be the next Sneijder or Robben in terms of Dutch-Madrid-reject-who-explodes-in-his-new-club.

yeah, I know Honda and Kawasaki are both motorcycle.

I'd tend to play with a more classy team:

MV Agusta - Piaggio - Aprilia
Ducati
Gilera - Benelli

B&G in attack ...
With Bimota on the bench.

Can't lose with that.

technically honda is also a car, so if we were to give car names to player already here, what would r80, pato, TS, seeorf, pirlo etc be called.

Bus-----Metro---Walking
--------Boat-------
---Taxi---------Train---


The midfield is BMW
