That rule is really stupid, on england you can buy as many non EU players you want.
Italian federation must do something about that rule.

By the way i didn't forgot to say that today 11 May was the day that Milan won inter with 6-0 at 2001!
So happy 11 May's day to every Milan....and Inter fan!!!


Happy 11 May's day!!!!!!!

rosoneri_11,
Lucas will be a EU player(Italian passport), Pato not.
BTW, I agree with you. Not only in England, but in Spain also, after 2 years(if iI´m not wrong) a player can becoming a spanish citzen, and free up space for a no EU player.
This italian rule IMO, is the real reason of because Serie A is losing prestige, money and BIG players year after year. It´s impossible to compete with EPL and la Liga in these terms...

You are completely right, zlatanov...talk about redundancy!
To be fair Lucas has more goal than Mascherano, Alonso, Sissoko, but they(and Gerrard) make the same function in field.
Perhaps Liverpool will go to sell one of then...Alonso to Real Madrid??

Anyway like I was saying Alex (23?) is totally he has a pretty good physique but he isn't nearly as handsome or romantic as Cannavaro (34-35) OR Ayala (32+) These guys are are older and more experienced YUMMY!! Let's just say that Canna and Ayala are much better at intercepting balls than Alex and it's as simple as that

handsome or romantic??

hahahaha haha

Brazileiro i have some questions for you.
1) Who do you think is better player, and who would fit better at Milan Diego or Anderson?
2)Who do you think is better and would fit better at Milan Sobis or Pato?
3)Do you think that milan loosing Sobis was a big mistake?I personaly say yes.I'm a big fan of that player and i know that he can become a world class striker.I think he choose the wrong club to go, like tevez done.

Hmmm, looks like Lucas Pazzini to Liverpool is now official. It's confirmed in Liverpool's official site.

Too bad. I wanted him in Fiorentina.
Now you guys see that not only players from serie A leave Italy, but even players from other leagues prefer EPL and la liga.

Milan winning CL in 2003, Italy winning WC in 2006 and Milan possibly winning CL in 2007 isn't helpful at all. Italians must work off the field with some kind of promotions and cheaper TV deals and i don't know what else. But the fact is they must do something.
Italy needs stronger league also and with Calciopoli Moratti crippled serie A for the next 5 years minimum.

I don't think that is a crisis situation
Italian teams prefer to look more on italian and european young players
For me the main reason for which Higuain,Lucas, Gago didn't come in Italy is that stupid rule that FIGC has - 1 NON-EU player/season/team

PL is overrated and the only advantage they have on SERIE A is that they have more money to spend

Even so Italy won WC and they are playing CL final 3rd time in 5 years

just read on tuttomercatoweb that juve are interested in Oliviera, and he could be a involved in Buffon moving to us.


Juventus: voting by ballot Ricardo Oliveira-Saviola

E' Ricardo Oliveira the new idea for the bianconero attack: the centravanti rossonero, paid 17 million the slid summer, would be one of the candidates to cover the profile of technical, fast tip but with sense of the goal that to the Juve is trying. The operation would be feasible, species if it re-entered in the transaction that could carry Gigi Buffon to Milanello: the alternative is Javier Saviola of the Barça, that june will be svincolato from next the 30 and to which the bianconeri leaders has offered a quinquennial one from 2.5 million to season

Don't read Tuttomercato and Tribalfootball - never.
Tuttomercato is a website that in the same day publishes articles about Tevez almost certainly signing for Milan and Tevez 99.9% joining Manchester United.
Yesterday they were the first ones who said how Lucas is an AC Milan player.

I can't agree here. Of course Serie A has to do something off the field to raise it's lost fame but an Italian team winning the CL, with 3 other EPL being in the SFs, will undoubtedly help big time.

I think you are reading too much into this Lucas going to Pool ... the only team in Italy that has come forward offifially and showed concrete interest in him is Fiorentina (Corvino has allegedly said that Fiorentina were really after him).
Given the choise, who would you prefer - Liverpool or a good but that's about it Italian team that has hardly any chance of getting any further than 5-6th place and can only watch CL on TV ... to put it in another way, do you think Lucas would have gone to Bolton or Everton or Tottenham, if Milan or Inter or even a newly promoted Juve had made a concrete offer for him.

I think that Milan were never in it for real with Lucas but probably showed some interest in the past - soemthing they probably do with about 20 dif youngsters in South America every year - and all that fueled all sorts of speculations afterwards and the fans took it up from there.

And Leonardo just a day or two ago mentioned 2 players from Brazil Milan are interested in getting, especially Ze Roberto given that Pato is still way too green for football at this level.
If Milan had been really in it for Lucas, I would expect that there would have at least been a hint about another player on Milan's radar given that Leonardo didn't shy from mentioning particular names like that of Pato and Ze Roberto.

My guess is that Lucas is making a mistake ... I expect to see him gunning for a move away from England in 2 years or so as I doubt a young Brazilian would be thrilled by the life style there and dif in cultures.
The football phylosophy is also a bit too "distant" from what he knows and above all I really don't see him getting much space with players like Grerrad, Alonso, Sissoko, Mascherano already there even if one of them is indeed sold (Alonso I think has shown some interest in going back to Spain ).
Add to that the not -so exciting football practiced by Pool and pretty much I expect nothing but frustration for the guy.

I'm a bit disappointed to see Milan miss out on yet another young prospect, but then pretty happy that if he's not at the San Siro he's at Anfield

If we still sign Barusso and Ze Roberto for the central midfield, that will still be good.

I haven't seen enough of Ribery's club form to understand the hype about him. Plus i wonder if Gilardino & Oliveira are really on Lyon and Juve's shopping lists. Oliveira + cash for Buffon, who would honestly turn that down?
