Yeah I know...but some native Spanish posters on another forum are adamant.

well, turkish fans that flooded MM a week ago were adamany about Ronaldo for sure signing with fener too
just think about it - would a player like Henry go to Barca - the last big contract of his career - for 6 mil, which I doubt is much more, if that at all, than what he was getting at Arsenal.
don't about those Spanish rumours but 10 mil is just the figure I would expect a hyped player like him to be getting should he move awa from Arsenal - the guy is superstar after all.

I can;t take the pressure anymore, sign me a big name

It can be anyone really, but I guess we will have to wait at least a month before we sign a player.. the only thing that is for sure with Galliani, is that nothing is for sure... but also interesting to see who we will sign in midfield as Pirlo "backup"...

I agree. An explanation from another forum:

I don't think salary had anything to do with it. We were already far ahead in the discussions with Arsenal, and he wanted to come to us as well. If Milan entered at that point the whole move would have been delayed by a few more days because suddenly there would be a new factor for him to consider.

We definitely are paying him around 6 million. There's no way we would offer more than Ronaldinho, and 10 is just ridiculous.

to be honest, I would take Galliani's words over a guess from a fan on a football forum ... the guy sounds more like he wants to believe that Barca have made a good deal both in technical and financial terms rather than anything else.

Galliani said that salary was the only thing standing between henry and Milan and he said that Leonardo had done some hard work to convince him - that didn't sound as if Milan entered the scene in the last minute and Henry had aleady wrapped things up with barca by that time.

And I have a feeling Galliani wasn't just randomly throwing figures there but mentioned the actual figures in the negotiations because from his words, it sounded that Milan had been in contact with Henry for some time and if it had been a question of 6 mil "only", we'd have gotten him.

guys do you kno if atletico still owe us money?

I'm not 100% sure but i think Trezeguet has just renewed his contract with Juve until 2011, for 4.4m euro per year.
If it's true than you can take him off the list as well.

( if it's true than i'll be so happy that i'll start an Eto'o to Milan campaign and i'll use all of my connections to help you sign him )

We dont want Trez in Milan so we dont care, we have Superpippo Start the Eto'o campaigne now!

we didn't need him anyway
btw, it's on gazzetta now so it's true

Yessssssssssssssssssssssss
It's official

Here you go....a promise is a promise....Eto'o to Milan

In the end, tactically speaking, there is another mercato option. If we proceede with Carlo's 4-5-1 CL formation, we can go for some good AM to play alongside Kaka'. Players like Robben, J.Cole, Ribery,Camoranesi(played that role alongside Totti in the WC)...(just an example, not our targets).

Congrats!

Juve look very strong for next season.

4.4 is a very competitive salary.

I doubt Galliani was just throwing random figures when he mentioned 10, 15, 20 mil regarding Henry's salary ... I think he was actually talking about the actual sums.

Henry will earn 6 Million a year not 10, at Arsenal he earned 5 Million a year. So if you think about it, its only a million higher than his current salary.

To tell you the truth I dont want Sheva back, Henrys gone, Eto is unlikely. I want a striker who lets say is a bit like when Sheva came, young and has mental skills. I dont really like Torres so I would prefer someone like David Villa, he is one player Id spend alot of money on. He could be what we need and recently when it states that we have been linked with him, its good to know.

sup yall..havent been online for a few days cuz im on vacation, right now im losing all my money at VEGAS!

ok about the transfers.. barca have had possibly the best squad in europe for the past year and still only lost the title in the last day.. they have had arguably 3 of the top 5 attackers in the world (eto, dinho, messi).. even when they just lost the championship in the last day, look how strong they entered the market and they dont even have any money near what we have.. they got Henry (a target of ours), then they got Yaya Toure (i wanted him bad, he is goin to be their best midfielder next season believe me), and now they are hot on Chivu's heels (also a target of ours)..

we had 2 trophyless seasons and yet we never dived into the market.. our management needs to start flexing their muscles and show their financial power.. our managements comments saying we'll play with our squad next year and will have the bonus of Ronaldo are making me sick.. we have to sign a few big names, we have to spend big..

comon Milan.. stop making your fans suffer.. last summer was the worst transfer campaign i've ever seen.. this one is heading the same way!! Suazo is the 3rd player Inter snatch from us (Crespo, Ibrahimovic last year).. what is happening to milan?? where are all the players that wanted to come to milan?? where is the player that would have caused chaos if anyone knew of his interest??
