No worries! I wasn't offended. I just think we should wait and see the result and the reasons behind it before we lay into him.

Either way, I'm hoping to hear his side of the story soon. Can't trust Berlu! LOL!

FIRENZE, 8 giugno 2009 - Il neo tecnico del Milan Leonardo è da oggi a Coverciano per seguire il corso per allenatori di Seconda categoria. Leonardo s'è presentato puntuale e insieme ad altri partecipanti, fra questi ex noti giocatori quali Alessandro Altobelli, Beppe Signori, Marco Delvecchio e Francesco Baiano, ha seguito la lezione introduttiva: il corso durerà sei settimane per cinque giorni la settimana con obbligo di frequenza (il Milan intanto non ha ancora ufficializzato la data del raduno e dell'inizio del ritiro estivo) e si concluderà con gli esami. In caso di superamento l'ex campione brasiliano succeduto ad Ancelotti sulla panchina rossonera, anche in virtù del fatto (come prevede il regolamento del Settore tecnico) di aver partecipato ad una fase finale di un campionato del mondo, potrà accedere al corso per allenatori di Prima categoria.

diobestia

we are not all italian, u know ?

If Kaka' wants to leave I can say this to him: Traditore!

This is what upsets me on the same level:
Il Milan si sta muovendo per il dopo Kakà cercando di costruire una squadra giovane, senza spendere grosse cifre. Il bilancio viene prima di tutto.

About Milan mercato: A mercate with new and young squad, without spending much, "bilancio"(money) comes first.

Now, to Berlusconi: **** you and sell the club! Take your money and go home to your wife! Ops...

Next: Milan will pay 20mln for Dzeko, they say we want Hernanes ( passport??) and Ambro will renew, See will stay and we'll look maybe for Alex Silva that Leo likes ( wow, 7,8 mln ).

We'll spend no more then 40-45mln mark my words! Its disgusting.

It says that Leonardo is attending classes this whole week (or is it 6 weeks?)in order to attain his coaching badge. More or less!

Basically he is starting the coaching course today, 'second category'

that's nice, good for him

@mrki

So, if we spend money on Dzeko, Santacroce/Mexes, and Hernanes, you won't be reasonably content? I think with those additions we can compete for the Scudetto.

We will also call back Paloschi, and Borriello should recover. IMO, our biggest problem this year was our defence. If we can get Nesta fit, and add one more classy CB, we're set.

Ok so, I have a game: let's list all the positive things from this transfer (oh boy, I am losing it).

1) We will most likely get a younger player like Dzeko for the attack, who could be a star in Serie A.
2) With Ronaldinho getting more playing time, he could be fitter and prove a huge player for us.
3) We could use the money to get one more defender for the backline.
4) We could bring in Hernanes
5) We could balance our books

Let's wait and see, mrki. They even haven't got the money from Kaka.

I think, it's still logic for Milan to chase Dzeko compare to Hernanes since the option for a big or physical striker is limited and the price of Dzeko could be cheaper compare to other option and can raise significantly in short times, not like Hernanes who has release clause (CMIIW).

Alex Silva is only media's idea IMO since he is Brasilian (which impossible for Milan to get him if Milan get Hernanes/Dzeko) and our 'scout' Brasileiro has said in couple of times that Alex Silva is not that good (Thiago Silva >Alex Silva). Leo seems pretty smart at evaluating players and I doubt he rates Alex Silva so high.

I will be satisfied when I see Berlusconi invested in Milan properly, and not only taking money into his pocket ( bilancio ).

With Mexes our defence is set. With Dzeko our attack is ok. Paloschi is not a player for Milan yet and Boriello was never a player to win scudetto for you.

Our midfield now consists from Seedorf, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Dinho - all wasted and past it. And flamini, Gattuso, Abate - people that can actually run.

And the idea to play Dinho as AM central is utopia from crazy Berlusconi's ego maniac mind. That will never work.

Some will mention most likely how Juve sold Zidane and built great squad. Yes, they bought worlds best keeper for record fee, Lazio's best player that later on won golden ball and Thuram who was simply world class. Go and buy world class CB, world class CM, and world class CF and its ok.

To Christina: Cassano is not a "part of the family" so...

I don't think we're gonna get a direct replacement for Kaka, but if we were to do that, then there's only one guy who's available now that could do that, and that's Cassano. If Leonardo could control him, then he could be just as great as Kaka. He's just hitting his prime, and he's in the form of his life.

edit: Can't believe they're running a 'Kaka-day, Speciale "Kaka-Real"' on Milan channel...

He is not a more of second forward type? I mean, does he really play behind two strikers?

Also, I saw now, tuttomercato says Milans plan is that if Pirlo is sold Hernanes will play for Milan ( oh, we nee more money to buy someone...). Sad.

That's true, Milan should just act like Juve if Milan really sell Kaka. Kaka's and Gourcuff's money is really much (around 80 mil euros). Dzeko should be in the region of 20 mil euros, Mexes/Santa/Zapata could be in the region 15 mil euros and this will leave Milan a good half of the Kaka's & Gourcuff's transfer money (40-45 mil euros).

Milan could try Fabregas which could be pretty expensive since Hernanes will be like a dream for Milan next season if Milan do sign Dzeko. A 30 to 35 mil euros could be enough to bring him? If so, Milan should still have some mil euros for left or fullback.

Well I'd say that his role is exactly the same as Kaka's. He does play as a 'Playmaker-forward' for Sampdoria with Pazzini, but so did Kaka with Inzaghi/Pato for the most part of our season. We're not really linked with him, but was just thinking that he is the only one available that could even remotly fill Kaka's shoes.

edit: Yea Fabregas would be great, but at the moment Cassano is a better player in my opinion, plus he's Italian. He's not as insane as he used to be aswell!
