I was joking about Lippi certanly going to Juve. It's far from done deal.
I may be wrong but i think journalists came up with Lippi's name only because it sounds like a logical choice. I don't think they really know something.
It may be practically anyone ( except Mancio and Zeman ) who'll be coaching Juve next year.
Lippi has same chances as Novellino, Dellio Rossi, Wenger, Prandelli, Vialli etc.

if there was such a deal, there wouldn't be a day without the press mentioning it 5-10 times at least ... after all, we are talking about one of the 3-4 most famous players in the world not just another average player.
Nothing like that had happened ... Galiani did say that Milan were monitoring CR during the WC but then he said that he and Carlo have agreed that he, as a pure winger, doesn't fit the tactical scheme at Milan ... that was it, this is as far as the things about CR to Milan went, no such thing as a reached agreement or anything of the sort.

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.

noo.galliani said 1-2 months ago in acmilan.com,ibra didnt wait for us and we rejected c.ronaldo,maybe the figures can be different yet thats a real we rejected him.we rejected him before we sign the joke oliveira

Juventus had just terminated Deschamps contact. I hope this means Buffon is closer to Milan.

homestly, find me the interview and I will believe you ... until then, you don't have to take my or Jim's word for it, just give a careful thought ans=d you will realise that all that is totally ridiculous and makes no sense at all both from Milan's and ManU's point of view.

Last summer was a summer of calciopoli, Milan didn't dare spend more than 2-3 mil on a player before we were sure of playing CL football which was the case about a week before the transfer market closed ... this is exactly why we rejected Ibra and zambrotta ... how could we possibly agree to pay even as little as 14 mil for CR when the only players we had gotten until then were a free Favalli, a 2-3 mil Bonera and a 2-3 mil Gourcuff?

Also, say we agreed a deal for Cr only after we had CL football in the pocket ... that was 1 week before the transfer market closed ... honsetly, how do you see manU selling their best player at that moment when the EPL had already started and they would have had time to find a replacement.

And, just take a look at theBritish press and all the noise they raise for nothing at all just to sell us some news ... what do you think would have happened if there was indeed such a deal ... and I don't remember reading one single article on it.

Again, you don't have to believe me, just read what I said and give it a thought ... but please, give it a thought, not just repeat something that someone might have heard or may have misunderstood ... just ask youself does what you were told make any sense at all.

i just read that he was saying we rejected him and ibra didnt wait for us.

whatsoever

Buffon looks very unlikely,since dida made us champions league winner,i say his save vs dida one to one sitatuation,that was so hard for a gk but dida managed and however he deserves to stay at here despite we need a reliabre cover for him,someone like cudini,abbiati or roma.

I read a couple of days ago, Lippi was quoted, that he was intending to come back to coaching in several months time ... which would basically mean that he would be looking for a team for this coming season.

In Italy, apart from Lippi, I guess the best best would be either Delio Rosi or Prandelli as for foreign coaches I wuld love to see how Wenger or Koeman do at Juve and Serie A

My guess is the Secco and Coboli weasels will try to do anything to get Lippi because in that case, Buffon, with his affection for Lippi, will also stay and will forget CL football at least for a while.

What Juve now needs is an authority. Someone like Lippi or Capello (but not Capello ).
I love DD but he wasn't exactly a father figure to Del Piero, Trezeguet, Birindelli even Zalayeta (all 4 his ex team mates) or to the older ones like Nedved.
Deschamps is 4 months younger than Maldini and players like DP and especially Trezeguet had no problem disagreeing with him.
Juve needs a strong hand now

Personally I think Carlo is talking about Adriano.

'Ibrahimovic? He couldn't wait as we couldn't do anything until after August 23. Cristiano Ronaldo? We followed him but Ancelotti didn't want him. Dida's contract extension was decided by the whole club. The decision was taken with the president, chief executive and coach. We all agreed. To confirm players who are part of our tradition creates a sense of belonging. Maybe Dida made an error against Manchester but he made some decisive saves''

i just found this man,i remember there was another who says we rejected him because carlo didnt want him but it can take me 1 day to find it.it

mistery man=Adriano or Torres maybe Huntellar
and I think we need 4 or 5 players one attacker two midl and two defe(lb and cb)

I thin you guys are making toooo much out of what Carlo said. Just because a player has been linked with Milan doesn't mean that people suspect he would come. For example Ronaldinho, he has been linked with us for so long however how many people actually believed that he would come. He is obviously talking about a big star of a team PERIOD. I don't think it means that we have never been linked with that person or it would be a total blowout surprize even if it was indicated in that way. Anyway, you guys make the guessing game fun in any case.

my guess is either Adriano or Terri. one from Inter, the other being the captain of Chelski. or indeed, Ancelotti could be just making fun of the journalists. it is not like that he has never done that before.

It only mean we were kind of interested in CR, that's all. It doesn't mean a deal was reached, Milan was monitoring him during WC and decided not to go for him because ancelotti doesn't think he will fit in the plan, that's all. Even if Milan want him, he might not even have come in the first place. No more nonsense on how Milan almost reached a deal for CR, you are jumping the gun.

Forever Milan, you either find a source saying Milan rejected CR or stop posting such nonsense.
