goal is reporting that The Sun is spreading a rumour that Barca may be after Wenger to take Rijkaard's place.
I know these rumours in the Englisg tabloids are rarely to be taken seriously but this one does make sense, I must say.

A change like this could really mess up Milan's plans this summer although should wenger go to Barca, he would probably bring Henry with him to the Camp Nou and this should still free up one of Etoo or Dinho, more likely the Brazilian, I think.

i have a feeling we could make a surprise bid for cannavaro, looks like hes trying to get a move back to italy.

now that suazo is ours, people still belive milan will land etoo/dinho? The bet is still on, lets wait and admire galliani's work

I would agree if we landed overpriced etoo. But spending 14 mil just like that can be similar as spending too much for oliveira. And with similar results. I still think this is the cheapest way for our attack problems... for now. Im yet to see the 'big signing' or '100 mio cash in hand' which was promised numerous times.

Other than that, im happy with Suazo, hope he gets on well with us. He could be 'the big thing' nex season, but i said the same for Oli

I think Etoo is history now given how similar he is to Suazo.
There is good chance, however, that we'll go for Dinho and if we buy him, that will also **** the door in Inter's face for Etoo cause only one of these two will leave Barca, not both.
chances are one of RO and Gila will be sold/loaned out.

Lets wait and see what happens but we do need at least one mid and a LB, if he can play CD, like Abidal, even better.

One big advantage of Suazo is that he is proven in Serie A.

Galliani did a smart thing, he secured we have VERY GOOD attacking force right now, at the beginning of the mercato. Now we can operate with calm. No one can blackmail us with overpriced players like they did last year when everyone knew we are badly in need for a striker. Im 99% sure Oli will be sold as he is simply bad. Cant play for Milan, Carlo doesnt like him... Boriello can do his drugs elsvhere also...

Cannavaro? Hmmm... Dont be surprised if we see Nesta-Canna in Milan. Cannavaro today: " im 34 and i have never won CL..." And he also sayd he would like to play in Italy but doesnt think he is wanted in Napoli... kaladze-cannavaro-nesta-oddo, on the making?

[quote]Arriving at a Football League meeting, Adriano Galliani has explained: 'Everything could be in place with Suazo. It's very likely that Eto'o will not could so if we close the negotiations with Suazo then it's all finalised. There is no intention to disrespect Inter. We followed Suazo last year as well. Cellino said that the negotiations with Inter were over and so we started and concluded a new negotiation.'

????

and may not a very smart but very mean, and that he is not going to sign etoo

This is from acmilan.com I dont understand this too ??
pls help
'Everything could be in place with Suazo. It's very likely that Eto'o will not could so if we close the negotiations with Suazo then it's all finalised

but any way I am quite satisfied now may bay signing a new LB (Zambrotta) and a new CB plus Pato will make me much more than happy

Suazo blocks Eto’o arrival
Tuesday 19 June, 2007
Milan have admitted that Barcelona ace Samuel Eto’o is unlikely to arrive after they swooped for David Suazo this morning.

The Rossoneri sensationally captured the Cagliari hitman on Tuesday in an unexpected move which may now see primary target Eto’o remain just a dream.

“Eto’o will most probably not arrive and if we finalise the deal with Suazo [who has yet to sign] then our transfer campaign will be over,” stated Vice-President Adriano Galliani.

“Will our supporters be content this way? They have to be satisfied with the numerous Finals played over the years and the fact that we lead the European rankings.”

Suazo was expected to join Inter after agreeing to a deal last week, but Galliani insists Milan didn’t hijack the move to spite their city rivals.

“We had already been following the player last year. [Cagliari President] Massimo Cellino told us that the negotiation with Inter had stalled and we started conversations and struck a deal,” he added.

“Will I call Inter? No, they didn’t call me when they signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic last summer,” explained the official after Inter ‘stole’ the Swede from under the noses of the Rossoneri.

Reports suggest that Milan will pay £10m to Cagliari after Marco Borriello refused to be included in the deal.

“We need to wait for Suazo to sign as he is currently on holiday and might not want to move here,” added Galliani. “If he agrees, we will have four great strikers in our squad.

“I called [President] Silvio Berlusconi to inform him of the negotiation and he was pleased with the news.”
