Alberto Gilardino to Milan??

Milan would like to wait until next season, when Gilardino's contract is expired.
but I believed Juve won't missed him.

Yeah, what you say makes sense but to some extent - with or without a buy out option the price of the striker is not predetermined i.e. if Chelsea had agreed to give Milan this option on Crespo the two clubs would have still had to agree on the price at the end of the upcoming season (and not now when Crespo's value has sunk). If the two clubs failed to reach an agreement then Crespo would have had to go back to Chelski.
So, the only reason I can think of is if they plan on using him again which just doesn't make much sense, does it? Unless, Roman believes that Morinho will fail and next season the new coach may want Crespo back
Anyway, this, at least for now is not that important.
I am more worried by the fact that Juve get closer and closer to Gilardino. True - we don't need him this season but I am worried that we will get interested in him when his price has skyrocketed, as it often happens, not that he would come cheap now. At least we could try to get him now and leave him with Parma for another season (we still don't know what will happen with Ernan at the end of this one).
Well, we will see.

There's already enough competition upfront. Once Pippo returns from injury and finds form, he will once again be the prolific striker that he is. Particularly in the Champions League.

6 weeks? if he get into sugery, he will come back in january to be kind..that's the reality when it comes on surgery..5/6 weeks just to decide if he need another operation and to observe the situation with the ankle injury

OMG, So do you guys think we need another striker, If let's say that Pippo will be out 'til January?? IMO, we need one, bcoz I'm afraid that Pippo wouldn't be the same w/ the "old Pippo" that we used to know.
Well, If Milan could find some cheap bargain, that would be useful and we could save more money again for the future.

Old Pippo? Paolo?

For the time being, most probably Milan would play Kaka as the fourth striker, and if till January Pippo is still injured May be an option to buy another striker could be used here.

I hope Pozzi can be a surprise. Some players made debut for Milan at 20, but seldom at 18. Whenever we got a striker injured other than Pippo, Pozzi can be played in the first half

Well, accoring to the latest, the Gilardino scenario is not that impossible. I've heard from Carlo Laudisa, the best expert of market of La Gazzetta, a very reliable source, there are many doubts on the Inzaghi situation. The point is he has to solve the problem once for all, and tonite, at a tv show, with Laudisa, a famous professor and doctor spoke about the fact in such ankle injuries, even the best doctors in the world take long time to consider an surgery operation. So, the times can be very very long, even 1 year to recover Pippo, and Milan can consider to fit inside the deal of Gilradino. Roma has no money to buy him, and it's pretty difficult despite the Baldini's words. Juve is the true contender for Gilardino.

Gilardino is a total striker. He can do everything, and he impressed me not only for his scoring skills, but even for his ability to dribble, to pass and play with partners.
This is a reliable track we could decide to take. It depends on Inzaghi's situation.
And Pippo will be 32 when he will recover from this injury.
sacchi someyears ago suggested Galliani to buy the unknown Gilardino. We'll see. The market experts, and even our Milan Channel legend Pellegatti, told there are very good chances to see Gilardino, sooner or later, with our jersey.

Look at Borriello, he only played like 10 games this year and thats not enough. Lost home talent you know..Anyway we'll see...but i hope Pippo gets better fast!!!

Well there allways Parma, Chievo and now Roma for those fans with that inclination

Play CM to get great results with an avarage age of 25 ... Gilardinho .. well .. 2002/03 season he scored 2 goals ... last season he did well ... but let`s take a look after the comming season .. I doubt he has the class of an top goal scorerer.

I think Gilardinho has the ability to really go a far distance.

But like Grande-Milan-DK said, I think we have to wait and see what he does in the next year or so.

The future of Alberto Gilardino hangs in the balance as Milan now join the fray, but his agent believes it’ll be a last minute deal whatever the destination.


“We haven’t heard of any contact with Milan,” maintained representative Francesco Romano after the rumour emerged this morning.


“Gilardino is in training with the Under-21 side and is currently concentrating only on the Olympics. From next week we will begin to consider our options.”


The Parma striker has made it clear on numerous occasions that he favours a switch to Roma and even stated he felt “60 per cent a Giallorossi player already,” but his £16m price-tag is too steep for the cash-strapped Capital club.


Juventus had also been heavily linked with the 22-year-old, especially after their move for Adrian Mutu collapsed on Friday, but a new theory is emerging over this weekend.


Newspapers suggest that Milan will bid for Gilardino following the continuing injury worries of Pippo Inzaghi, although a move is more likely in January than the summer.

Parma director Luca Baraldi continues to insist that the star striker will not be sold for any price, but few believe that is the case, especially with Gilardino’s public call to Roma.


“Anything could happen,” added his agent Romano. “Roma could put the pressure on, just as Juventus could revive their interest. He is an intelligent lad with a contract tying him to Parma until 2006. In any case, we must wait for the end of the Olympics before taking steps.”


Milan’s other option to replace the increasingly troubled Inzaghi would be River Plate hitman Maxi Lopez, who is also a target for several Premiership sides.

hey can someone move this tread, bcoz I think we had a talk for Gilardino b4.

Giovanni thanks for the usefull info about Gillardino...Kepp updating ppl like me that dont have access to Italian Media about the case...Hope we will got him last day, like we did with Nesta....

Ps

I just saw that: http://www.goal.com/NewsDetail.aspx?...16334&idSez=16 so maybe...there is no chance at all....

he has just signed a new contract extension with parma today
we dont need him anyway at present Sheva crespo pippo jdt & pozzi but he is a quality player & would be a good signing next summer and i would imagine with the new contract he will not be leaving parma til next summer at the earliest
