Milan Squad 2006\07

Replacing Sheva with Ronaldo isnt a step backwards, its a complete disaster.

BTW Can we make a push for Eboue to replace Cafu?

This has actually made it into the media now (if you want to consider tribalfootball the media)....

AC Milan go for Corinthians pair Tevez, Mascherano
tribalfootball.com - May 22, 2006

AC Milan are chasing Corinthians pair Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

Milan plan to use the cash raised from Andriy Shevchenko's sale to Chelsea to land the Argentina international duo.

Corinthians owner Kia Joorabchian has insisted that neither player is for sale. However, it's suggested that if Milan sell Shevchenko, Blues owner Roman Abramovich will use his influence with Joorabchian to convince him to shift both players to the Italian giants.

Personally, I would love to see Carlito and Mascherano at Milan. Tevez is already one of the best forwards in the world, but he doesn't get the acclaim because he doesn't play in Europe. The guy is a magician with the ball. It's as though the ball is an extension of his foot. And Mascherano is a supremely talented player technically and a tireless worker in the midfield. He wins so many balls it's almost incredible. And smart. He has great presence, his positioning is excellent, and he is developing into a fine leader on the pitch.

This article was on the Corriere dello Sport.

Milan: Sheva addio, arriva Tevez

10:23 del 22 maggio

Mercoledì o giovedì Shevchenko annuncerà il suo passaggio al Chelsea, che è pronto a dare in cambio gli argentini del Corinthians: Tevez e Mascherano. Il Milan sogna Eto'o e pensa a Ibrahimovic.
Intanto Rui Costa torna al Benfica: sarà sostituito dal francesino Gourcuf del Rennes.
(Corriere dello Sport)

Personally, I won't complain at all if tribalfootball is telling the truth and Tevez and Mascherano.

Tevez is a player I've been wanting to see in a Milan shirt for a few years now, but seeing as its tribalfootball, I won't hold my breath

it was posted on calciomercato and Corriere dello Sport today, so there may be a little truth...

Tevez cant replace Sheva, aldough he is a great prospect. In this case it would be better to go for IObrahimovic than Tevez, in my oppinion. Mascherano is a GREAT potential, he will become one of the best DM's in the world. Its good that we are searching for Dm's - De Rossi, Diarra, Marscherano.....

But, we still need Sheva to stay,and that could be first task for Silvio as our new/old president.

If we sell Sheva and bring Tevez, Mascherano and another top flight striker, I would be a very happy man. I think we can do much much wosrse than that.

Also consider Sheva is approaching the 30's, so getting two of the best young players in the world isnt that bad.

so the deal is tevez + mascherano + gallas + $ ?? for sheva?

Although Sheva is irreplaceable, this deal looks terrific.

it was a question

Personally, I would much rather have Tevez than Zlatan. Bringing in Carlito now would be like bringing in Sheva seven years ago. Of course nobody can completely fill Sheva's shoes right away. We can't expect that. But if we got Tevez, Mascherano and Gallas in return, that would be a magnificent deal for Milan's future!

Have a look at tevez's videos:

Looks strong, agile and pacy but isn't he too short for headers?

And even if he performs well on the WC, that will mean nothing, because play well the WC is for Fat Ronnie just a matter of hurt pride. He simply doesn't have anymore interest to play on club level.

So now it's Tevez + Mascherano + money for Sheva? Hmmm... well, if the amount of cash involved were substantial, sounds like a great deal, I think.

the article, as far as I remeber, mentioned only Tevez and mascherano but i guess we could assume that Gallas, given his contract situation and desire to leave Chelski, would also be included ... as for any money, I dont know.
I personally would ask for Alex, Gallas, and maybe Tevez/Crespo + enough money to buy Diarra (prefer him to Mascherano as he has a wealth of CL experience already). We'll see pretty soon I think.
