John Dahl Tomasson sold to Benfica!!!

yaaa now lets get us someone big like Ballack or Daira that would be perfect fit

wtf is Daira?

Yep , it looks like JDT is gone and pippo inzaghi is gonna take his place as the fourth striker. So the pecking order looks like becoming Sheva, Gila, Vieri, Pippo.
looking here: http://www.acmilan.com/InfoPage.aspx?id=12633 , JDT is not listed as a striker! that's a clear indication he is gone.

Well, pardon my gloating, but I for one am happy to see the back of the Dane.

He is to be applauded for his efforts, his willingness to come off the bench, but I will never forgive him for missing that sitter in Istanbul...(yes, Sheva missed one as well, but Sheva has done soooo much more for Milan than JDT ever has)

Good luck in Portugal JDT, and I hope the form that deserted you in Milan returns for Benfica.(If that is really where you are destined)

Now, we have only to worry about Vieri regaining his form....

As part of today's first official day of training Adriano Galliani addressed the media and stated that Tomasson is on his way out most likely to Benfica (www.gazzetta.it). Even though Bobo was signed I thought Tomasson would stay on as Milan's growing mentality of keeping an ample supply of players at their disposal however, JDT probably wanted more playing time even if it wasn't with Milan and it was time to unload more than just the Brocchi's and Pancaro's.
I also think its unfair to classify him as 'long ago finished' and useless to us...he has become a clutch player in tense moments despite his slide this season.

first of i agree he has done well Coming in from the Bench never complained even when pippo was out he sit gave and u could have seen it when he scored how bad he wanted to score, thank u for ur time it was great to have u on board knowing he came for free at least we sold him for good sum hope that money will help out on bring Daira from Lyon really good player and has alot to give i have seen him and Essien play they really are good and he can run all over and figth as hell he would be good to add in our squad and the mid would be prefect all over

if its true then good luck JDT to your new adventure, i have enjoyed him being here, i will never forget his second goal against PSV, he will be missed!

To me its kind of similar to the idea of selling Rui...at least if we are selling I hope for someone younger in his place that can provide energy coming from the bench.
Going with 4 (presumably Sheva, Gila, Pippo and Vieri) is a mistake and in my opinion we definitely need a fifth

Im really glad that tomasson is leaving us. He is not milan class. And that means that milan-lab have decided that bobo and pippo are 100% healthy and we dont need 5th striker. And 6mil looks like a little low bit. Dont you think??

Oh, heh, I know who Diarra is...

Those spelling errors (or whatever) can be a b!tch...


And I also agree with rezag, we do need a fifth striker (something I've said for atleast 2 years now )

good luck hommo oh sorry i mean tommo

im not really happy with his departure... i think milan fans have been really cruel to him, i would feel better if we get a player in the saviola mold, other names include esposito.. i dont want a big guy like toni, we already have 3 of them and sheva can play that part himself

I can't say I am glad to see JDT leave mostly because I am afraid that we will not go for another, fifth striker but have instead decided that 4 would be enough - assuming Gila is already a Milan player - and that's something I don't like at all. I think it would be a mistake to start the season with 4 strikers, 2 of which are 32 yo injury prone players.

Do you guys think that he is coming to Benfica?
