Winter Mercato

But I think to, that it would be a good idea to buy a defender. If not in this winter, then for next season. So it must happen with a keeper.

Keeper
Adler (Leverkusen)
Frey (Fiorentina)
Hugo Lloris (Lyon - expensive...)
Neuer (Schalke)
Hildebrandt (Valencia - could be cheap and availabel in the winter)

Defender
Timoschyuk (Zenit St.Petersburg)
Vidic (ManU)
Zapata (Udinese)
Veloso (Sporting Lisboa)!!
Albiol (Valencia)
Gonzalo (Villareal)
Bale (Tottenham)
Taiwo (Marseille)
Mertesacker (Bremen)

Now for some constructive (?) criticism:

For the new 'keeper (and I absolutely think we need a new one; I can't stand the sight of Abbiati after his remarks about fascism - although Berlusconi might think differently ): Frey would be the best option but also the most difficult one. Adler and Neuer would be interesting ones (though they might be too inexperienced). Lloris I can't imagine us signing after he snubbed us this summer. Hildebrandt is as unreliable as Abbiati, if not more.

Defenders: Tymoschuk and Veloso are central midfielders, though I'd like to see the latter here as a replacement for Ambro or Gattuso at some point. Vidic is a great defender, but we'd have to seriously overpay for United to let him go. Mertesacker isn't good enough - too slow and clumsy. Bale and Taiwo are good going forward, but defensively suspicious. Albiol, though he has never really impressed me, is good and experienced for his age, and might become a great defender, but still: a Spanish defender in Serie A . Gonzalo has been great for Villarreal, as has Diego Godín, and he might be an interesting option, though with our track record with Argentine defenders... it's more of an Inter-thing. Zapata would be my preferred option, young, strong, fast, experience in Serie A - he has it all...

EDIT: I agree with you, though, It'd be very hard to squeeze in a another midfielder or striker, unless someone leaves (Emerson) or retires (Inzaghi). I guess Gourcuff will come back to fight for an attacking midfield spot, but other than that?

For Winter i wish for a good DC, a good DL and of course we must sign a new GK.

My wish:
DC: Albiol,Mexes,Mertesaker
DL:Sagna(from Arsenal, he is the ideal DL),Taiwo
GK:Frey,Loris,Akinfeev
My opinion:I can't see us to sign anyone else eccept a GK. Because Galiani will start again making ugly comments like we are OK, we don't need anyone and that we rule the market.

I hope Nesta and Senderos come back quickly, with then i think we will not have any problems in DC position.The only must for us is to have a good and safe GK who would help us when we will need him to help.

I agree with Ceceves, Zapata is good and it wouldn`t have to be a problem to sign him.

Rakitic is smart player, creator and he is young, very young. Cana is more like a destructor. Two good but different players. You cant compare them.

They are both midfilders u know and we have a lot of midfilders maybe better than cana and rakitic so we don't need any midfiliders but Cana would be better to sign cause he also is Ac Milan fan.

For Winter, either Zapata or Santacroce would be good for us.

yeeees zapata or santacroce i forgot him i saw him playing and i liked him a lot (Y)

These two remind me of the days Lazio had Nesta and Parma had Cannavaro and Thuram. I wanted them all so badly. Now I want these two at Milan no matter what!!

We definitely need a decent left back and at least 2 central defenders. Maldini, god bless him, has been extremely slow and can't mark a player and the game against Genoa just further highlighted that. Kaladze has also been atrocious but is still a lot better than Maldini and Bonera. Also, Jankulovski has been very disappointing in his marking skills but has been relatively good in going forward and I would take him over Favalli anyday! It's just disappointing that a team of Milan's calibre would have to settle for Favalli as a second option and Jankulovski, a player who can't defend at all, as our starter. To add to our defensive woes, Nesta has been injured since the summer and hasn't played international football in over a year but still seems to struggle with injury and fitness. At 32, he's not old for a defender but he definitely seems to have reached his peek and probably has played his last season as a footballer. Alongside Maldini, he used to be half of the most formidable central defensive partnership in all of football but injuries and age have unfortunately taken a toll on our Maldini and Nesta. This winter, we don't need to buy central defenders like Senderos and Co. We need to buy the next Maldini and Nesta. Just like in 2002 we bought Nesta, we need to buy the next big star defender. Having a Milan without a star CB is just not right. Also wouldn't mind Milan getting a new goalkeeper considering Abbiati's love for Fascism.

what do people think of marcel jansen at LB? or Domenico Criscito? Criscito could be a a reallly good player, just a bit inexerienced...but he impressed me...well against us

@Ceceves
I agree, that Lloris will be very difficult, and I think too, a lot more expensive than he were this summer. Hildebrandt isn't worse than Abbiati, and for me it is clear that Abbiati has to go, after his facism statements. And he is probably one of the only keepers who could be availabel in the winter. He was a very good keeper at Stuttgart.

Veloso and Timoschyuk can both play in the central defense as in the middlefield. Timoschyuk regullary plays as a defender at Zenit. And Veloso also used to play in the central defense. Specially Veloso could become a very strong player. He has the strength and also the intelligence a really good defender needs. They both wouldn't be cheap. But if they came, you could deport Kaladze or retire Maldini.

Zapata, I would love to see him play at San Siro. He is kind of those young and hungry players, whom we are missing at the moment. But I think only Zapata won't be enough. Our defense is too old, too deep, to slow. We need fresh blood. At least one new central defender, also one younger and faster for both sides.

Isn't Criscito Juve owned? I don't think Juve will let go of the current U-21 starting CB and one of the more promising defenders out there.

yeah hes juve owned but he's left footed and similar to cheillini (left side player) they have moliaro and de cegrie who they value more than criscito being as they elft them and loaned him out.... and cheillini.

**** a juve own like all talented u23 italians

Lahm is better option.

Im not sure if we can get him but in my mind he is the best option. Another option we should look at is Grosso. Or we cud bring in rafinha and move zambrotta to left back. These are all better options than what we currently have going.
Ps. As far as Cana is concerned, he would be the perfect player for milan, and i don't just say this cuz he is from my country. He is a milan fan, he plays with his heart, and he is the ultimate warrior. Him and flamini are the ideal replacements to gattuso and ambrosini. Plus, Cana is also a leader and can score.
Pps. I am surprise nobody has mentioned Afellay, he would be a wonderful addition to our squad.
