Winter Mercato

I really doubt our market will close with the signing of one striker. We do have other needs, LB and Pirlo backup being two of them.

This is bad news mr.galliani we need one player in midle and one defender

but the mercato hasnt even started yet...

Milan will go on with 2 more players, mark my words. Defender and a midfielder.

The etoo stuff was to be expected really as now Dinho seems the one Barca player mila would be going for, I think.

As for our transfer campaign being over and waht not, I would not look too seriously into that. Plus, what Galliani said in the Italian version was "if we buy Suazo, saremo a posto" or something similar, which doesn't specify if he meant that only for the forward line or the whole team ... after all, Milan were seriously looking into a midfielder too, be that Emerson or someone else and it's highly unlikely IMO that we would tackle next season's campaign without certain reinforcements in defense and mifield.

we'll see I guess.

Laporta seriously said that dinho, etoo and frankie are staying at todays conference. They would let one of them go, but both players wanted to stay.

fresh old news.

yeah, here is what they had on gazzetta:

Laporta, Barca president just confirmed that Dinho and Etoo will stay at Barca next year too - he wants it, the coach wants it and the players want it too, in his words:

Calcio, Laporta: "Ronaldinho e Eto'o non si muovono"
Indice Ultim'ora

BARCELLONA - Ronaldinho e Samuel Eto'o resteranno al Barcellona. A due giorni dalla cocente delusione subita nella Liga, il presidente blaugrana Joan Laporta fa il punto sul mercato e blinda i suoi gioielli. "Le cessioni sono praticamente decise - ha detto Laporta - Il club vuole che Ronaldinho ed Eto'o restino qui e il tecnico e' d'accordo. Me lo hanno confermato personalmente sia Samuel che Ronaldinho". (Agr)

it's on ultim'ora (lastminute news) on gazzetta.

I still think that Dinho could end up leaving - mostly for dressing room problems - but it would take some extra-special circumstances and offer for that to happen, otherwise he and etoo will not be put openly on the market.

I would guess that's what made Galliani act on Suazo - he probably made an official inquiry for etoo and dinho and received a no from both club and player and decided to look for the next best thing, so to speak ... with the added bonus of slapping Moratti in the face.

I consider EToo history for us given the Suazo transfer, so if we can't get Dinho, I think we'd be in place with this attack we have as I still want RO to be given another chance ... if not, maybe Quagliarella in for RO would be great given that the Italian can play as attacking mid too and that would come in handy.

The thing is that there is a ceratin deadline for the situation of co-owned players like Quagliarella to be cleared up between the two clubs - Udinese and Samp in his case - and if no agreement is reached, there is a blind auction where both clubs make bids and the higher bid take all the 100% of the players rights.
For such transfers, I believe the deadline is coming very soon - like 20th or 25th of June or something like that.

I personally wouldn't mind securing Quagliarella now and keeping him at Samp for another year while giving RO another chance.

In other news, Calderon believes that Kaka will force his transfer.

www.gazzetta.it

well, Calderon likes to tell fairy tells to himself and his fans all the time, so that they think he might actually live up to his word but ... hey it's Calderon we are talking about, what more there is to say

i have a feeling we r going to go for dhino .....becuase i think eto'o is a little harder to move then dihino will be.

moving on to midfeild : will a utility player like lucho gonzales be best
OR montolivo to rest pirlo a bit ?
OR powerful barusso "seem to join roma" ?
OR dinho to blow all these above ?

on the defence if we need an LB it shall be abidal since lyon got mathiew or zambrotta or pasqual while on the CB side since alex chive metzelder seem to be out of reach i think we try with Raul albiol or pepe or naldo or satisfied with digao ?????!!!!!

you mean Lyon got Jeremy Mathieu from Tolouse? ... haven't read anything on that, any links if that's what you meant?

looks like Roma and Inter have agreed terms for Chivu to go to Milan while Pizarro is staying at Roma:

This sucks. But if we can get Naldo, Pasqual, or Abidal that would be great.

guys the same situation is happening ...that happened with barcelona...see barca have been trying to get henry for a few years and we have been trying to get R10 for a few years ....now the time has come and more likely then ever that henry will go to barca becasue of the fall out. so iam sure that our time will also come there will be a time when when ppl will say this is the best time for milan to get R10 ...so i dont see him coming to us this season(although i really hope he does somehow) .....
