Summer mercato 2009

So does this mean we can only buy 1 non-eu player because Silva takes up the other spot for next season?

I think Galliani mentioned also about Thiago's option to loan but he didn't want it. I don't know his reasons but it could be like Pato's reason to stay in Milan compare to still play in Brasil until he was 18 years old : adapting with Milan. Plus he could be afraid that Thiago will suffer injuries.

As far as I remember, Inter did such a loan to their GK, Julio Cesar.

As far as I know, YES. And we can't buy other non-EU player outside Italy even we release one non-EU player this season.

No matter what, we can only sign one EU-player this season (except the rule is changed ). That's what I know.

hmm are you sure about this? I have always known that Italian teams can sign only one non-eu player outside of Italy, and one non-eu player playing in Italy, or maybe it was unlimited for non-eu players playing in Italy i'm not sure.

More seriously, a kind of 4-3-3 could be done with our current players (if we keep them) + some additions:

----------- Pato ------------
Ronaldinho ------- New player
----------- Kaka ------------
---------- CM/DM -----------
---------- Defence ----------
------------ GK -------------

If we're gonna play 4-3-3, which I don't think, I think it would be kind of like we played against Roma when Ronaldinho came on. It would be

-------------Pato------------
Ronaldinho-----------Kaka----
-----------CM/CM------------
-------------DM -------------

If you noticed against Roma this was how we played, with the usual formation on the central midfield.

Quagliarella signs for Napoli? Maybe now make a sneaky bid for Santacroce?

they signed quagliarela and that means they could sell lavezzi not santacrocce mate..but its too strange that many teams are trying to get hamsik and lavezzi,and noone santacrocce..although almost every big team in italy need cb this year..

Apparently Carlos Tevez' agent is in Milan, apparently to talk to Inter officials. In that case I guess it's goodbye to Zlatan, considering they just signed Milito. The other posibility is that he's in Milan to talk to us ofcourse Supose it's good news for us either way, because as good as Tevez is, he doesn't have anything on Ibrahimovic, alhtough it'll be a terrible loss for Serie A.

Essien by the way has an French passport. He and Santacrocce would be awesome.

Yes, I am. They changed the rule regarding the number of non-EU player (outside italy) a club can sign per a year, from one player to two players since last season. Our non-EU spots for last year were for Sheva and Viudez.

that's also how I remembered the rule. now, the new question is: we have Thiago Silva, and if we want to sign another non-EU, who should we release from the current squad? Shevchenko or Viudez? Don't tell me the only reason that we bought those two last year was just so that we can have some "easy" ones for exchange this year. Still, it makes no sense at all why we wasted two non-EU spots last year.

Interesting scenario either way. Either we get someone useful, or Inter is turning into ArgentInter. They never had enough of Argentine players, I guess?

How about Adebayor?

I did not know that (about Essien). That is good to know.

And I agree on Santacroce too. I don't think he will have an immediate impact on us (if Nesta is fit), but I reckon that would be a wise investment into the future. After all, he is both Italian and Brazilian, just the way we like.

Im not sure about Adebayor Sriegar

Yes, that's what I remember. I just knew that the second non-EU player can be signed if he moves abroad or becomes a free agent.

Thank you Mystik for your quick search about this.
