Banter 2009/2010

Ofcourse he didnt forget about it, but I mean, he is one of the sorest losers on the planet, he always has an excuse...this is the first time I see him give a cold shoulder to a humiliating loss like this

Because there are simply no good excuses for the defeat.

Chelsea banned from signing new players for two years!

www.guardian.co.uk

Honostly this is great news for us. First of all, no more Pato hunting from Chelsea, second it's bad for the England wich is good for Italy. And considering this team is really old, is this the end off Chelsea's short time as a top club? I mean, now the team they currently have have to play for 3 full season, since there's no transfers next Mercato and the one after that. Lampard will be 34, Ballack 35, Drogba 34 and Anelka 33.

It will probably be appealed though, so it's not all said and done, but even though I like Carlo, I kinda hope this stays like this

Wow that is crazy about Chelsea. I guess it's this year or bust for them.

Here is an interesting article on Goal.com (http://goal.com/en/news/10/italy/200...ge-list-report) about wages in Serie A given for the individual clubs:

Inter: €150m
Milan: €125.5m
Juventus: €115m
Roma: €69.7m
Fiorentina: €40m
Genoa: €38m
Napoli: €37m
Lazio: €32.9m
Palermo: €30m
Parma: €26m
Sampdoria: €24m
Bari: €20m
Bologna: €20m
Cagliari: €19m
Udinese: €18m
Siena: €17.5m
Catania: €17.5m
Livorno: €14.3m
Chievo: €13m
Atalanta: €13m

I wonder what ours was last year before there was the massive wage reduction in the club? R80 is our top earner at €7.5 according to goal.com

Guys, please don't get your hopes up. Berlusconi is not interested in the club. He has other priorities, which we all know of.

If we get someone great. But please don't expect anything, or we're going to have 12,000 pages of shattered dreams.

Christian: It's not three full seasons for Chelsea--they won't be able to buy anyone for two transfer windows, which means January 2011.

Well Im just after watching the Chelsea news on sky sports. And there reaction its been done out of jealousy WTF Uefa are and Fifa are jealous of English clubs dominence because clubs from the country Uefa or Fifa cant win(someone tell sky sports Fifa and Uefa are not Countrys). They really are pathetic the governing bodys dont care who wins sure Platini moans about money spent but Chelsea broke the rules and got caught I wonder was it worth it the guy named I never saw playing. It also mentioned the conspiracy that Barca were favoured against Chelsea even though Barca didnt win with a penalty or a Chelsea player being sent off , Sure Chelsea should of had a penalty or two but so should of Barca Bosingwa dragged Henry down in the first leg. Okay RANT over.....P.S Chelsea are going to lose alot of the African players in January for the Cup Of Nations , Good luck Carlo.....

A flurry of comments have come in today from Galliani... here's Galliani being the sore loser he is at best:


"There was a chance to take Diarra from Real Madrid, but Leonardo told us that we were already OK in midfield," he said, according to Goal.com Italia.

The 28-year-old was widely expected to depart the Bernabeu this summer after the arrival of Xabi Alonso, but has remained at the club after being sidelined for a majority of last season with a knee injury.

Meanwhile, he also discussed left-back Aly Cissokho, who nearly joined the club this summer from Porto before failing a medical due to a dental problem.

"The excellent performance of Cissokho at Lyon shows that we were right [to try and sign him]."

So he's right for trying to sign Cissokho.... but he's not wrong for letting him go for 3 more million? And look how he's trying to put Leo under pressure by trying to save his a$$ by saying he tried to sign one more player, but it was Leo's choice not to take Diarra (which IMO is a crazy idea if true, as Diarra is a great midfielder..however i think Leo insisted on another player such as Hernanes and Diarra was just a last resort).

Galliani was so much more likeable for the past week because we haven't heard a word from him. Now he opened his garbage of a mouth.

I actually like the talk about getting a new Kaka... If all of this is true then Galliani might save our team in january!

That list must be wrong according to goal.com our expenditure on wages in the 07/08 was 120 million euros seeming that we have sold loaned released or retired at least 20 players it does seem a bit unbelievable. last year senderos was apparently earning 4 million euros shevchenko was earning 5 million euros emerson was earning 4 million euros kaka of course earning in the region of 11 million euros and beckham of course got a wage.

i think leo was right, why would we want another DM, we have Flam, Pirlo, Gatt and Ambro. We didnt need Diarra.

maybe Fifa put a ban on Milan buying new players and B&G were two embarrassed to say anything

I rather to watch milan strugle with young inexperienced players and coach than with Seedorf and the golden agers... Giv the youths a chance Leo... be smart... pressure make Diamonds... we have a lot of new carbon... (Abate)

The information regarding milans wage bill is sourced from gazzetta

http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...3Dq4a%26sa%3DG

it suggests that the wage bill was 170 million last year reduced to about 125 this year

I don't agree with most of you...I think Seedorf could be our most important player this season. Just as long as he finds his motivation, and runs his socks off, I think he could be the missing piece in the puzzle. Seedorf when on form, is an extraordinary midfielder that weighs in so much on a team, tactically, physicially, morally, you name it. I didnt like Seedorf last year cause of his inconsistency...but I think Leo did him alot of good by benching him, letting him know that he's not needed. That way Seedorf is going to have to perform to win his spot.

I'm going to hope for Seedorf to be in the midfield trio, along with Pirlo and Flamini. Maybe Abate can take Pirlo's spot too and the midfield could be adjusted such that Seedorf plays in the middle.
