Alex eyes Pirlo

Sir Alex Ferguson is reportedly renewing his bid to bring Andrea Pirlo to Manchester United. It is claimed the Scottish boss is preparing a January swoop for the Italian World Cup winner as he looks to further strengthen his midfield after the collapse of his efforts to steal Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich. The same reports are also linking want-away Juventus winger Mauro Camoranesi with a move to the Premiership. Inter are still his favoured destination but it is claimed Juve may force him to move abroad with Portsmouth and West Ham ready to step in.

After Gattu now irlo F**K off Alex!! dont ever touch Pirlo!!!

Pirlo would rather play for Brescia than go to England trust me.

Enough about Torres already, his not coming.Pirlo has just extended his contract, why would he go to Man U? They already have Carrick, Scholes, O Shea, Fletcher competing for the midfield. I dont think hed appreciate being constantly rotated. Sure he gets rested now and then, but Iit would be a greater extent for ManU. So therefore NO.

Believe me friend if he goes to ManUtd he wont be rotated at all, Pirlo is by far better player than all the above mentioned.Probably the best in the world in that role.

That is a point, if Sheva did have a really poor season at Chelsea, would they ditch him? there becomes a point where he plays poor for chelsea, he plays poor for the Ukraine.. and then he has to start to worry about his career!

The english excuse is rubbish tho, Kaka speaks english brilliantly and he didnt have to come to the UK to do that..

To me, it all really depends how well Oliviera does, he started well ( even Jose Mari scored on debut) ,i think there are reasons why we have been linked with Torres...

I watched the Milan parma game that i taped, one thing the commentator said was "every Milan fan now will be looking at Oliveira and say " oh Shevchenko would have scored that".. and i have to agree a 100% with that!!

well, now that Sheva is gone, everyone we fans compare with him, in this case Oliveira, will seem worse as we tend to remember only the best of Sheva and expect that from Oli day in and day out.
Truth is, however, that SHeva himself had A LOT of moments of his own where fans said "he should have scored that" ... with Istanbul the most famous example for this but only one of many over the years.

True, Pirlo is the best but hed still be rotated with Scholes. Anyways, Fergie said Hargreaves and Makelele are is priorities. Well he didnt say exactly that he said he like to see them in his team, without mentioning pirlo

P.I.G.s would need to land if they could fly

I think somebody has already said this but Pirlo has only just renewed his contract keeping him with milan until 2011 so why would he be allowed to leave in january because he must be worth something to us if he is contacted for 5 years.

Graeme I kind of agree with your post, but Jose Mari really wasnt that bad. Its just that no one knew if he was a midfielder or a striker. As a player though he was ok and has improved.

In a way people will compare Oli to $heva, but its unfair because the cash cow left and someone had to replace him. It could have ended up being Borellio. And also $heva is 30 years old. When Oli is still hopefully scoring in four years time Sheva will be finito.

This is a really funny rumour...Milan will cup-tie Pirlo and then sell him to a club struggling to compete LOL!

I wanted to say that
In centre miedfield manchester doesnt have players half of PIRLO value

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has told Chelsea he'd happily re-sign Andriy Shevchenko.

"But not for £30 million."

lol on another note

AC Milan are being linked with Barcelona pair Carles Puyol and Rafael Marquez.

Speculation in Spain today suggests Milan representatives have travelled to Barcelona to sound out the European champs about both players' availability.

Mexico international Marquez is being targeted by Milan for the January market, while they're prepared to wait until next summer for Puyol.

Marquez is contracted to Barca until 2010, while Puyol's deal runs though to 2011.

both seem interestin, but the source is unreliable (tribal)

He betrayed us but i want him back, I loved him, i talk of course about the greatest goalscoer Andriy Shevchenko, who honestly "belong" to Milan.

I dont think Barcelona would dump both Puyol and Marquez, but it could be one or the other. IMO there are better other options, but they know whats best.
