Santiago Solari

good replacement for serginho.
serginho has served us well, but his time is just bout up, if not already
Solari would be a good SUB, unless Seedorf performs deserving of an 'anti-seedorf' thread ...jk

Great addition and will provide extra width on the left, though I don't think he'll see more playing time here too. He's also cup-tied in the CL.

Solari wants to leave Real Madrid because he is not getting enough playing time. He wants to be a starter, a first team player.

We have Pirlo, Seedorf, Kaka, Rui Costa, Dhorasso, Ambrosini etc. in our "ceative" midfield (not counting the forgotten Serginho, Brocchi and "on loan" younger players). Many of these excellent players have to sit on the bench most of the time. With Solari added, who are we going to trade (and why?). Is it really worth to get excited about every single player in football and have a "buy everything" mentality before we even know if we have room for them?

Think about it.

Hmmmm... Not very sure about it, Josh. Since arrived from Atletico Madrid Solari was never a regular at first team and I think it really didn't bother him.
I presume he wants to leave because Real will start to rebuild and wants to play for a more stable team. You have no fun playing for a side like Real this season. They're easily accepting loosing...
But it's just a theory.
That said, if it's true, a very nice addition for Milan.

He was never a starter at real, but he certainly deserves to be. its not his fault if hes not considered a galacticos. Just look at what Morientes and Etoo did at other clubs. I think he would surprise alot of Seria A fans.

Santiago Solari is one of the best players on the left of midfield IMO, and his acceptance of his bench status at Madrid is something that he should be commended for, and indeed, if he is finally fed up, then I do hope that Milan buy/offer him a contract, when the time is rite.

Serghino could be off-loaded in favour of the Argentine, but that is a big mayb, considering the love affair that Milan currently have ongoing with Samba and all things Brazilian.

I cant recall any other Argentine...no here I go...Redondo and Crespo...but we have had precious few of them on our roster over the years, it is usually Inter that is chock-full of Argentines.

I am not here to debate which country produces better footballers, my 5 cents of input is all in praise of Solari, and to express my sincere hope that he does wear the Red and Black, and ASAP.

IMO, he should be the perfect replacement for a underperforming and aging Serghino.

I dont want to get into the "who is better Ronaldhino or Solari" debate either, but it seems that Solari's arrival is more emminent than that of the Brazillian, based on cost, etc.

His amazing dribbles, and tireless effort in the middle, both in tackling and off the ball movement, will make believers of any doubters once he is a rossenero.

FORZA MILAN, (and FORZA Solari, even if he doesnt arrive in Jan or June)

Talking about this guy, I always find it a pitty about Robben.

As far as I remember most of Argentine players will be flop at Milan. The best example is Roberto Ayala who now one of the best defender in La Liga. He was full-time on the bench when he stay at Milan. Right now we have Coloccini who is another Argentine but he has potential to be on the Milan starting eleven since he already start for his national team for the WC qualify games.

yeah... lets name the number of french flops at barca... alot...

but giuly is there and hes doing great appart from his recent injury.

thats a silly generalization... sorry

OK lets hope that both Solari and Coloccini will do well at Milan.

Solari To Betray Real And Join Barca

12/31/2004 2:55:00 PM

Santiago Solari has surprisingly agreed to move to his current club’s historic rivals Barcelona at the end of this season.

The move will be officially announced tomorrow when the transfer window officially reopens, however Solari will make the trip to the Azulgrana in June, the month in which his contract with the Merengues expires in.

The twenty eight year old Argentine, who was basically an eternal benchwarmer for Real, was also being tracked by Serie A giants Inter and AC Milan.

San Siro beckons for Solari

Real Madrid midfielder Santiago Solari could be heading for the San Siro, while Javier Portillo makes the opposite journey.

Galacticos President Florentino Perez is rumoured to have a poor relationship with the Argentine, although the arrival of Arrigo Sacchi at the club seems to have smoothed things over.


But it seems that Real would rather cash in now on an aging player whose contract is about to expire, especially with rivals Barcelona showing an interest.


Carlo Ancelotti has long been an admirer of Solari and hopes to convince him that Serie A could suit his style, after the player publicly rejected a move to Inter as part of the Ronaldo deal two years ago.


If Solari is leaving Real Madrid for Italy, then Javier Portillo is making the opposite journey after only six months.


The young striker scored a fine goal and set up another in Fiorentina’s 2-0 win over Chievo, but that proved a rare start at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.


Both Emiliano Mondonico and new boss Sergio Buso have left him on the sidelines and a swift return to Madrid seems likely.


“We want to replace Fernando Morientes with Portillo,” revealed Merengues director Emilio Butragueno after the veteran’s transfer to Liverpool was confirmed. “Of all the options we have looked at so far, his is the most concrete.”


Portillo is also eager for a comeback after his disappointing six-month loan spell in Serie A. “I hope that, if I must return to Madrid, it is done as quickly as possible,” added the striker. “The two clubs will talk to each other before contacting my agent to discuss terms.”


Elsewhere in the transfer market, Atalanta have signed 23-year-old Davide Sinigaglia on loan from Serie B outfit Arezzo.

This will be a great addition to our squad, i wish this transfer goes through, everytime he gets too start and gets enough playing time with madrid he seems to always do something, for example was last week were he started the in the derby and scored a goal.He will be a very iseful player.What do u guys think?

IMHO it will be cool! We can sign Solari if we want! Please Milan get Solari...
