I am not so sure Galliani doesn't want him but I for sure hope he won't come ... this has nothing to do with his ability as a player as those are close to unquestionable, and landing another one in Inter and Moratti would be nice , but I really doubt the committment of this guy as he's always behaved like a mercinary and nothing more, both in Ajax, Juve and now Inter.

It's team spirit and committment that earn the titles and make up great teams and Ibra has yet to prove he has any of those.

Also, as Carlo said, it's very easy and convenient for players to be wanting Milan now that we are CL winners but where was Zlatan when we were hit by calciopoli and weren't sure of CL football - securing a heafty contract with Inter in the same day we were playing Zvezda.
If he really wanted Milan, he could have waited for another day or two at least.

i completely agree with zlatonov on ibra,every1 wants to play for best team in the world,even just after they already won the campions and however ur club doesnt win it since ages,40 years or more.

i think it can be Drogba or eto'o or even david villa and i however i thought calo should have stopped the world for this player thou media pointed out its ibrahimovic.

Personally, i don't see a Shevchenko or Gerrard transfer as 'world ending', especially the former, he was always going to be linked with a return to us.

In Italy i can only think of Totti being such a surprise and to be honest i'm not sure i'd want him. I don't see Ibrahimovic being a great deal either, i hope we stay well clear of that mercenary.

It's the "There's one none of you would suspect" that rules out the likes of Terry, Lampard, Gerrard, Ronaldinho, Etoo, etc as we've either been linked with these players or Ancelotti and co have talked about them in interviews.

Peter Cech maybe? Cristiano Ronaldo?? Messi? Or maybe it's all a press thing to get Milan fans excited before they unveil Emerson

Nah, there is no mistery man. It's just Carlo fooling the journalists to search for someone unexpected while Galliani works on Dinho, Buffon, Sheva or Eto'o.

Or maybe it's Boumsong

I doubt it will be Buffon now that Lippi seem a cert to return to Juventus

Carlo is the same person who rejected C.ronaldo last summer when milan agreed with united on him on 14m euros plus vogel.

good points, all 4 of them

I doubt Galliani would be so mean to Juve as to try to steal Jean Allen from them ... although, on second thought, a possible pairing with Titus Bramble in CD is appetizing enough to make Adriano forget his good manners on the table

My gut tells me the mystery man is Thierry Henry. Remember there's some history with him and Carlo at Juventus. And the Arsenal ownership situation is a real mess; David Dein leaving makes Arsene Wenger's job much more difficult because those two were really tight. And in turn we all know if Arsene leaves, then Henry leaves. The big thing though is Arsenal did really, really well without Henry while he was injured for extended periods of time last season. I'm thinking sell Henry now while he has some value and use the trandfer fee to build upon the great youth revolution going on at the Emirates.

henry is not a player who can stop the world,his news cant stop the world even just for 0.000001 second

what about de rossi?or Puyol?

whoever told you that rumour, slap him not once but twice for lying so blatantly to you
last summer CR was one of the best players at the WC and if ManU were to ever put him on the market he would cost 5 times that amount ... what Carlo said was that CR was a great talent/player but Milan do not use wingers that's why he is not an option for the team.

Vogel to ManU was indeed an option mentioned here and there, especially around the rumours of SAF being after Gattuso and/or Pirlo with Milan hit by calciopoli. Once it became clear however that Milan would not sell the two WCup winners, the rumours about Vogel surfaced but not for long as SAF quickly emptied the bank for Carrick.

Does anyone else remember that deal? I think you've got your wires majorly crossed there.

Again, with Henry we were linked with him heavily last season, Galliani kept harping on about if Henry were to move he'd come to us. So for me, i don't see Henry as someone we wouldn't expect. Just my take on it though. I think all it's designed to do is to get us talking like we are now.

my grandfather who lives in milan told me it last summer,also galliani confirmed this in a interwiev on acmilan.com 1-2 months ago

Man Utd got Ronaldo for around £12 million , why would they sell him for 14 million euros? That's less than what they paid for him.

according to me,maybe figures can be different but its for sure milan rejected to sign him.

it was probably a misunderstanding because, around that same time, 14-16 mil + Vogel is what Milan paid for R. Oliveira.
I hinestly don't remeber seeing a confirmation by Galliani regarding a deal for CR, let alone for a completely laughable amount of money for a player so highly sought after.

as Jim says, it simply makes no sense anyway you look at it ... first of all, ManU would hardly agree to let CR go (a 21-22 yo super talent) for less money than they paid Sporting for him and a 30 yo midfielder who is hardly one they would base their midfield around.

Quite frankly, I firdt thought someone was playing aprank on you ... if it's you grandfather who told you that, he is either joking or simply have misunderstood something.
