Season 2005/2006 (transfers/rumours/news)

Quite clearly it's pointless trying to talk about some subjects.

haha... take it easy jim... its just that we got used to that sort of rubbish and besides it really looks unlikely, i mean, just a few days ago ancelotti told chelsea sheva is untransferable so did galliani and berlusconi... and didnt we reject a 83M move just a week ago???

havent heard about this!! but if it helps i told him not to leave milan

Shevchenko didn't want to leave this season because of the up coming world cup and didn't want any needless disruptions to effect his country sealing a place in the finals. Aparantly there will be no obstructions by Milan to let him go and join Abramovich in 2006-2007.

With the money Milan will try to get Ronaldinho and possibly Puyol also. They will also replace Ancelotti with either Van Basten (who is the favourite although he has no experience) or raid Barcelona for a third time for Rijkaard (my personal favourite )

The article is on calciomercato

This would be a major step backwards in my opinion. Agreed it's only rumours, but such powerful rumours should not be ignored or completely dismissed.

I also read that article. It does seem to be a bit on the science fiction part, and given that the Spanish press is involved makes less than believable, but I do believe that if Sheva does indeed want to leave Milan for CHelsea, we will not make it difficult for him, especially if we sign a youngster like Gila this summer. IMO, this is the only way Chelsea will ever get him - if he wants to leave - and not by making any stratospheric money offers.
As for Milan's future coach, chances are he will be one from Tassotti, van Basten, Rijkaard so they are pretty close on this one.
The "Milan getting Ronaldinho" part also looks quite ficticious too. I am sure we could get Puyol, although I personally think he is way over-hyped, but Barca letting Dinho go even for a lot of money still seems unlikely to me.

unless this is a new bid, that was about a month and a half ago and it ended in rejection.

I merged the "ManU - Rino" thread into the transfer rumour thread where it belongs

Jim, its silly season, and the Spanish Press are the silliest of them all! (Just ahead of the British Press)

it all depends on what you were wearing? and what king of persuasive tactics you used?

@ Hasan Rossonero: Another homework excercise to translate

Cicinho per il dopo Cafu
Il Milan pensa anche alla difesa
Dopo aver messo a segno due colpi grossi per il reparto avanzato, con Vieri e Gilardino, il Milan pensa al futuro anche per quanto riguarda la difesa. A gennaio potrebbe arrivare infatti il laterale destro Cicinho, secondo di Cafu nella Nazionale brasiliana e grande protagonista della ultima Confederations Cup. Nel 2006 il giocatore è in scadenza di contratto e potrebbe essere preso dai rossoneri a parametro zero.

I think it basically says..

After the two big signings in attack, Vieri and Gilardino, Milan now want to focus on the future of the defence. In January, the right-sided Cicinho could arrive. He is second to Cafu in the national team and played a big part in the last Confederations Cup.

And then I think it says that his contract expires in 2006?

It would be very nice, if you in the future could translate those italian reports, for those of us who can't read italian.
Thanks

that's exactly what the article says.
I, however, haven't been able to find on today's (July 9th, 2005) www.tgcom.it/sport. Am I missing something?

I know you can't draw a truthful conclusion from the few games he played in the Confederations Cup, but i didn't think he was that brilliant in his defensive duties. It's an advantage that his contract runs out next year, but i'm sure there are other teams who will look to buy him now rather than wait.

A decent right-back to play understudy to Cafu is a necessity, i would rather we acted now that wait too long.
