Maybe this could be exactly what we need for another great season?

interesting....
it would be great-
yet i'd be gladder if BoboGol had a good season!

wow, errm....some people are getting way too excited about this transfer here.

Anyway, glad this debacle has ended in a good way and I welcome Gila to Milan

How much was the final cost? (Doubt it would be announced already tbh)

On tgcom its 24mls euros.

thanks to those who answered the question about the price.

I read 24million too on uefa.com, but I guess its probably best to wait to hear it officially anounced by the clubs

It is more clear on this report from Datasport.


Milan: Galliani "Per Gilardino bisogna ringraziare Berlusconi"
Lun 18 Lug, 9:53 PM

Adriano Galliani ha un ringraziamento da fare per l`arrivo di Alberto Gilardino al Milan: "E` per Silvio Berlusconi, che ha fatto un grande sforzo economico per i tifosi - ha detto l`amministratore delegato rossonero a Milan Channel - E` lui che i tifosi devono ringraziare. Il Parma ha detto di sì alle nostre offerte (24 milioni di euro), ha capito che saremmo andati su un altro obiettivo. Il giocatore è stato bravissimo perchè ha dimostrato di essere attaccato alla maglia rossonera, rinunciando ad altri soldi. E` tutto firmato, domattina il giocatore farà le visite mediche, poi si aggregherà alla squadra. Credo che sia un grande colpo - ha proseguito Galliani - La Juventus ha un grande centrocampo, noi un grande attacco. Sono sempre stato assolutamente certo che sarebbe venuto qui. Quando abbiamo ceduto Tomasson non avevamo ancora la certezza che Gilardino sarebbe arrivato: ho corso qualche rischio" .

WELCOME TO MILAN GILA! Finally the transfer saga ends. We can look ahead to great things next season.

Big ups to Galliani, Berlusconi, and Braida for getting this deal done, the way we wanted.

Our attacking trio looks unstoppable!

Sheva---Gilardino
------Kaka-----

Fantastic news, lets hope this is the end of one of the longest most drawn out transfers in history !

Welcome Gilardino, enjoy your stay with us

On a side note, has anyone else read about the bust up between Shevchenko and Ancelotti ? It's on Calciomercato right now, i'm not sure if it's about the trip to America or something more than that.

Sky got the images
they are tryng to read the labial!

I'd imagine he'd wear number 11 since that was his number at Parma and Rui Costa currently wears the number 10 for Milan.

Great news

Welcome to Milan, Alberto!


Kutgw Galliani and Co. (i.e. bring us Ballack )
