Translate , please
I'm kinda slow now

No need for "translation" Zlat...i understand you know.
I wasn't following what's happening and i didn't know about Milan's late bid. According to this : http://www.skylife.it/html/skylife/s...t.html?video=2
Tiago rejected Milan and he specifically said he wants Juve , not Milan.

Still, it's not official yet because it's not on Juventus.com. Maybe there will really be a change of mind and Tiago could join Milan !

a change of mind probably not, unless Milan makes an even higher bid to Lyon and from there things go in a dif direction.
Tiago wants Juve as he knows well that in Milan the competition in midfield will be relentless while Juve is just starting to build a new team and he has a much better chance of making a position in midfield his own ... other than that, I don;t see any reasons to prefer one team over the other on the contrary even - Milan will play CL, Juve not.
Doubt any of those "my childhood dream was to play for ...." excuses used by players on a regulra basis played a role here.

But it also depends on how much Milan wants/needs Tiago ... given the right "desire" that card I mentioned could come into play, especially if Trez leaves.

I read once back then an spanish article about Suazo and how he had something against Milan (sort of). And then watching him score against us I got that impression as well, seeing the way he celebrated.
But who knows....

And regarding Inter going after Aguero, let them have him. He is nowhere near Messi. Not even close.

Absolutly !
Unless Paulo Sousa was his childhood hero and he's in love with Juve because of Sousa, so he doesn't care about money or starting place ( and i don't give more than 0.00000000001% to this possibility) then Tiago will chose Juve only because :
1. They offer more money than Milan
2. Both teams offer the same money but he'll have a guaranteed place in Juve's starting XI

1. They offer more money than Milan
2. Both teams offer the same money but he'll have a guaranteed place in Juve's starting XI

3. he is not a good player and and want to join a team that matches with his ability

I think Juve have offered Tiago something like 2.5 mil/season so that's much really and I doubt Milan would have offered less than that, in fact it could have been a little more than it.
I think his starting place being guaranteed at Juve played the main role here and it's not a "minor" reason, which can be easily neglected, from the player's point of view.

I've been exploring my redness and blackness lately Daaaaaamn that place is a dump


Anyhow back to topic.... I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hope Inter don't get Augerro....someone expressed indifference over his transfer but I have a bad feeling that that kid is going to be really big..or at least bigger than Eto'o.....I have rarely been wrong about young stars I predicted that Kaka, CR7 and messi would be great..... looong before they were I kinda got Ronaldinho wrong but then again he was played (as a No 9 not a no. 10 )out of his true position so I had no idea

You really don't have a clue do you I'll have you know that Augerro's rating got to 97/100 on Fifa 07 so that seals it
Seriously I have a deep gut feeling about him (no Zlat it's not the spicy wings acting up )


Listen up great and beautiful people of MM Sergio Augerro is destined for great things and it's as simple as that

So Villareal have rejected a Riquelme return:

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/st...440505&cc=5739

Could we bring him in as a Kaka sub?

I would simply LOVE to see Riquelme joining us, he's really a great playmaker, very inteligent and skilled.

Nevertheless, that transfer season is getting very confuse... we didn't even know if Suazo will be able to play for us, and since we won't make any deal (fortunatelly....) with Real Madrid, Emerson will not join our side... so I guess the board is still looking for a midfielder, and I think they are also planning, in terms of defense, at least to sub Costacurta.

BTW: I've read somewhere that we'll seld Grimi... is that true?

NO warro....his great for inter but not for MIlan....I`ll be short though I can make a long list of his bad qualities!!! His to slow,very lazy, and problematic....none of those will pass with Carlo...and Kaka is very different type of player.... Riquelme is more of Seedorf type of player

EDIT: His argentinian...enough said
