Oddo seemed like a good option right about now....

Cafu: I'm going home Saturday 18 November, 2006 channel4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marcos Cafu has sensationally announced he’s returning to Brazil permanently, possibly as early as January.

“I want to go home. It could happen in January or at the end of 2007, I don’t know yet,” he was quoted as saying in Brazilian newspaper ‘La Folha de Sao Paulo.’


“There are negotiations already in place, not only with Sao Paulo. I thank everyone for having opened so many doors and now it’s up to me to choose.”


The 36-year-old defender had already considered his career almost over after his contract with Roma expired in June 2003, agreeing a move to Japan’s J-League.


However, Milan gave him the opportunity to extend his Serie A stay, which is now in its 10th season.


“I want to be closer to my family. I’ve already spoken to some clubs, but there is nothing concrete yet.”


Cafu had returned to Brazil to take care of family matters earlier this year and it seems it could be a permanent arrangement.


The Rossoneri have earmarked his replacement at right-back, fellow Brazilian Ilsinho of Sao Paulo.


“Even if he is still only at the start of his career, Ilsinho has already proved he can become a big name who matters on the world stage.”


Pendolino made his Serie A debut in Roma’s 3-1 win at Empoli on August 31, 1997 and has notched up five goals in 142 appearances for the Selecao.

I think it is a good choice for Cafu to leave now. He WAS a great player, but his time is up. He has been great for Milan though, but now it is time for us to find another attacking right back.

At least it will force us to spend some money. Or will it?

i duno, unless Ancelloti still has hopes of playing Bonera, Simic or even Billy at RB..

Ilsinho better than Oddo?

Milan are more likely to ask Tassoti to kit up.

Tell me about it, it really isnt funny anymore. This Milan squad trying to compete for anything is like making an omlette without eggs.

I just watched Sao Paulo play this guy is very good, I'm not sure how old is he but he is very good. We should get him...

He is 21, and he is tall 177cm...

Luca Toni in January is the latest rumour

I don't see how Toni can help change anything, we have Inzaghi & Gilardino who are similar strikers, his transfer won't solve anything and won't add any kind of pace to our forwards. The only way he'll be good for us is if both Inzaghi & Gilardino leave, but i don't see that happening.

I''m hoping for a rumour about Taiwo of Marseille. He's like Eboue (tall, strong, quick) but is a left-back. He's the kind of raw, success hungry player we need here.

Well Toni is an experienced striker and he knows how to score many goals!He is good for milan but not to play with gila or Inzaghi!
----------------------------------------------------
As for Taiwo,he is great!He has it all to become a great DL.
Taiwo and Abidal are my best DL for Milan!

We will need an experienced striker anyway - be that Toni, Trez or whoever - who can score goals and take up Pippo's role 'cause he, Inzaghi, at 33 isn't getting any younger and soon would become more of a back-up player we have in the squad just in case ome of the other forwards gets injured.
As for getting a younger player, well, we can't have all of our forwards be "young players with prospects to improve" ... we, and any serious club for that matter, need someone up front, who's already grown up and at his prime.

I just have one simple question... Torres to Milan, any chance??

I ask this because I heard that Man Utd is getting Trezeguet, so they've given up on Torres, has Milan????

also river plate rejected real madrid's offer of 10 million for Higuian...just some news
