Winter Mercato

Ashwin: Where is Nesta? Oddo and Zambrotta are good, but they are too old, and I hope we will have some young defenders. And De Jong is a defender as I know. Your squad won't cost more than 100M. We would only buy 1 of Buffon and Amelia. Zambrotta + oddo are old, so they are not too expensive. Barzagli for about 10M. In the midfield, Sneijder is not expensive though he is very good, Aquilani also <of course not as good as Sneijder>. Diego for about 10M too. In the attack, I don't think Sobis and Tevez will cost much now <I don't know how Tevez can play so poorly>. Very good squad, just some more young defender.

None of them would sign for us if there is no CHampions League for us. Unless maybe they get offerred a huge salary

There are rumours that Nesta wants a move back to Lazio. Besides he is old and he is not the same player he was 3 years ago. He is still a top class player. Maybe he can go to Lazio. De Jong is a versatile player. He can be Gattuso's back-up. He can also play in midfield. Zambrotta and Oddo are considered young by Milan's standards. Considering the fact that we field players between the age of 36-39 in defence. Zambrotta and Oddo can add some experience in the defence.

Milan will still remain as one of the top clubs in Europe even if they fail to qualify. It will be difficult to convince these players but not impossible.

I didn't mean to get new players in the next summer, I meant this JANUARY. I don't want to champion league without Milan next year.

No doubt Milan has attacking and most of all scoring problems, but your list shouldn't necesserely be a prove for that.
When the group is above the individual, it usually happens the top scorers not to be from the best team(s).

Like with Italy on WC 2006. The best Italian scorers, Materazzi and Toni with 2 goals, weren't among the top 10 goal scorers on the WC, but Italy won the WC at the end !

I agree,but italia won the WC because of many reasons, one of them is that they played good football!
Milan doesn't even play good football!
I dont want milan to score 3 or 4 goals per game,
but i want them to play good football,to win, and i dont care if we win each game 1-0 or 2-1!
---------------------------------------------------------------
From my list are 32 players from serie-a!Not the best 32 of all the championships of the world!
Its a shame to not have at least one player!

@ Tony29...

yeah Italy won the WC without a prolific striker/goal-scorer... but you must remember that they have scored at least a goal per match... and do not concede like Milan has been lately...

Ehh, i wasn't trying to compare Italy 2006 with this Milan, i ain't crazy
I was just pointing out that these lists ( like in the list above ) don't usually give the real picture. All 11 goals Milan scored so far could have been scored by Inzaghi, he would have been on top of the goal scorers list, but Milan would have been at 16th place again !
Or 15 different players could have scored 2 goals each, Milan would have been in top 5, but none of them would have been in top 32 on the goalscorers list.

Strikers in Milan are to be blamed for the inefficiency ( all of them with only 1 goal on 11 matches, and Pippo and Olieveira are on a 10 matches goalless run ). They are guilty for not scoring of course, but they're just as guilty as the midfielders are...the midfielders who don't provide them enough chances, and who mostly shot from 25 metres.
Gila, Oli and Pippo are guilty for not scoring - Pirlo and Seedorf are guilty for not giving them usefull balls.

@ Tony29...

ok... i get your point about the goal-scorer issue...

as for the discussion about the midfielders & strikers... the midfielders do provide for the strikers... except that they don't convert them... look at Totti for example... few chances but he took them... and that is what is makin' the difference... the ability to convert what little chances you get...

i remember a Juve game very long ago... when Baggio was with them... Juve was dominatin' the match so much it is hard to believe the scoreline... i think they lost 3-0 (or somewhere in that region) in the end... but they were creatin' chances after another... whereas the other team (Lazio i think) only had a few chances on the counter & they converted them... the other thing i can remember is that Rampulla (spellin'?) was the GK for Juve in that match... and Baggio had a brilliant attempt at goal from the byline... swervin' the ball with his outstep that was headin' for goal until a defender cleared the line... the GK was fooled into believin' Baggio made a cross & came out to catch it only to watch the ball spin goalwards...

I'll be saying they do get enough chances, but don't bury them. The amount of open chances wasted by our strikers is mindnumbing. Inzaghi after his early goals is probably the biggest misshot.

Lazio rival AC Milan for CSKA winger Dudu
By Svilen Rusev - November 13, 2006

Lazio are aiming to beat AC Milan for CSKA Moscow's Brazilian winger Dudu.
Lazio coach Delio Rossi is an admirer of Dudu and is confident the youngster can be a regular starter in his line-up. Unlike Milan, Lazio also have room in their squad for another non-EU player, which could give them an edge when the winter market opens in January.

Tribal football did it again. Only limit on non-eu players is that a Italian team can only buy one every year. Clearly that is not a problem as for more future plans to maybe buy one in the summer.
