Official: Vieri To Milan

Inzaghi won't leave now Vieri is coming. He is one of his best friends and PROBABLY one of the reasons Vieri chose to come to Milan. Ancelotti will take advantage of their experience playing together at Juventus and use them as a strikeforce next season, when he rests Sheva.

I still think we can get Gilardino and Crespo will stay at Chelsea or be sold abroad, maybe to Juventus if Chelsea sign Trezeguet. I don't think this is such a big loss. I just don't think there is room for Inzaghi and Crespo. They are both box players and goal poachers, with no real pace or technically skillful but they can score goals. I would prefer a player who complements the talents we have so far and I think Vieri, Inzaghi and Sheva offer different skills, plus we now don't have to be blackmailed by Chelsea to leave certain players alone so they can bid for them i.e. Gilardino

We now need a player with real pace up front like Eto'o or Martins, is Gilardino that player? If not, then maybe we need to look elsewhere for a cheaper option like Michael Owen or even better Robinho, if the Real Madrid falls through.

i really hope we dont regret this transfer...
and i hope we can still get Gila

p.s.i'm sorry for crespo not coming
p.s.2 how much is his(vieri)wage?

I wouldnt make such guesses Zlat. It can also be a possible we get Crespo, Chelsea get Gila deal. They'll spend the $$$ we wont.

I am so Happy Vieri joined us, i have always dreamt of seeing him playing for us, Welcome Vieri, personally i would'nt mind if Gila did'nt come now as long as we get Crespo.

WTF!!!!!!!!!! He's 31 or 32 and he's past it.... If we don't get Gilardino I swear that I won't see a Milan match next season... neither on tv

First I want to say Welcome to Bobo in our squad. Well I'm hoping that he could become the kind of Pirlo and Seedorf. A bronze Inter players who become a gold Milan players. Honestly, I'mnot really a big fan of him, but to see Vieri as a new partner of Sheva or Pippo( If Sheva need a rest or injured), It sounds is like we have a deadliest Goals Machine.
Well, I'm dreaming of having Sheva, Pippo, Bobo, Gila,and Crespo in Milan's striker forces next season, but if we can't get Crespo, JDT is still a good back up.
Next Season goals are:
1. Champions League (A Must)
2. Seri A
3. Italian Cup

This signing makes things interesting, I am still waiting for Juve to get in on this Gilardino deal, since Chelsea seem to going after Trezueget (however thats spelled)

Oh Kui, I could never forget about Sheva! he is definitely my favorite player, yet Vieri could well be my new favorite womaniser replacing Bill Clinton

so that means you are going to miss the entire season, too bad, comeon Buddy I think our Club is making the right moves, is Milan let Chelsea have Gila, we can get Crespo and after one yr of failure for Gila at Chelsea we will get him too.

Yo Frankie6 fingers! This deals busting your ballz huh? Forgetaboutit! I know you believe in resurections. Remember how INTER whacked those guys Seedorf and Pirlo and how when they came to our famiglia they were brought back to life??? I think the same can be done for Bobo. Of course yeah the Gila deal is the sacrifice.

This is bull$hit of the highest order....oh yippie we signed another has been, who hopefully, and I stress the hopefully, we will rehabilitate and get something from.

I am completely amazed, though in all honesty, not really, just tremendously disappointed at this move....we now have 2 strikers, in Vieri and Tomasson, who added together, dont make one.

Why is Italy still in love with this loser? He NEVER performs in big games (see the WCup if you doubt me) and now we have aquired him?

I dont give a fcuk if he used to be great...he isnt now, and at his age, can only go downhill from here....what are we? An old age home for has been talent? This is crap...I hope that I eat my words and he has a 20+ goal season...but I REALLY doubt it...

I truly hope this doesnt mean that we have given up on Gilardino, who in my estimation is the best thing in Italy since pizza...

I am shocked, dismayed, and thoroughly put out at this move by the Milan suits...words cannot express my disappointment.

The only thing that can make up for this, is to see Gilardino holding up a Milan shirt at a press confrence under the caption "Milan capture Gilardino"...

Rumours are that Bobo and Pippo have a "thing". So if your arrow points that way???? Whatevahs. So "womaniser???? hmmmmm I think not.

It is more common sense than guessing. Players like Gila don't come around every day and most importantly, unless they come from our youth program, they never come cheap too. One way or the other, a young striker who will be Milan's future is a must and whoever we end up getting - Gila or someone else - we will have to pay big bucks for him. Getting players like Crespo and Vieri is just a cheap way of fixing holes in attack while getting Gila is providing Milan with a new backbone for the future when Sheva won't be the same and maybe even not playing in Milan anymore.
If Milan were willing to make for Chelski in the Gila-affair, Crespo would already be with us, and he isn't, but more importantly, it would be a stupid move when your eyes are on the future.

Well your angry. I honestly dont know what to say to you. Maybe we were to sure of ourselves that we were "definitely" getting Gila that is doing this to ya??? Like I said in some other posts... maybe we should be more surprised if Gila does sign for us because his signing was never ever a sure thing. I dont know how some of us havent seen this yet.
