Winter Mercato

Barca have bought players that aren't uber expensive. Milan and Juve have different strategies when it comes to the market. We buy a couple of players to reinforce positions.

Also to say our team is not so special is risible. We have a fairly complete team, but what we need is a more complete squad. Also, remember, the transfer season has just started. Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real, have not been spending.

By the way this is Galliani speaking two years ago:

AC Milan generate more than €55m revenues from overseas markets

The Serie A club vice-president Adriano Galliani revealed the figure while speaking at a meeting with the club’s sponsors. Galliani believes the club’s business model is helping the brand achieve marketing success around the globe. “We have to compete with clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United and we are first in China, where 33% of their football fans support Milan. Also,
we are expanding in the USA and in the Middle East. Our aim is to export everywhere in the world,” Galliani told the sponsors.

Silly Season rules:
Rule 1 Almost every time, go against what club officials say about pending transfers, and what players the club are interested in
Rule 2 Believe everything the club officials tell you about upcoming transfers
Rule 3 Tabloid reports, are 98.7% accurate
Rule 4 Tabloid reports are never, ever, ever accurate
Rule 5 There are no rules.

I hope so ...

Carlo has got to be kidding. Will we still be fine for next season if all we win is the Club World Championship?

And here I was thinking that it wa a done deal ....silly season strikes again!!

With Tevez being focused in Copa America and having stated some days ago that he would gladly join Inter (instead of Real Madrid), I feel this is pure crap from this mafia guy known as Kia Joorabchian. His words make it look as if Tevez will join his russian buddy Abramovich's Chelsea or stay put in West Ham. I would say there is a big chance he joins Chelsea.

After Eto'o, Tevez is my #1 choice. He wouldnt fail in Milan.

guys abidal has agreed to sign with barca its a four year deal 15 million euros ..

Haiz.. i have this sneaky feeling we will sign the most
impossible signing of them all.. the most un-thought of
the most unimaginable, the most mind blowing signing
ever known in the history of football.








Moratti himself! signed on a free ! :x

According to calciomercato Emerson will follow Capello's footsteps out of Madrid... I believe that now Carlo can soon get his man. Other teams can buy as much young and fast attacking players as they want, all we need are few more DM's, and one or two defenders and they cant touch us!! They cant attack as much as we can defend. .. And then we pass to Kaka'

This is very interesting........
Gallian told we dont need new players in defence and midle.....

First abidal
Eric Abidal has revealed he has shunned interest from Milan to join his 'dream' club Barcelona.

The Lyon full-back will undergo a medical at Barcelona before being presented as the club's latest signing on Friday afternoon.

Barcelona appear to have finally met Lyon's demands for the France international, who is relishing the chance to play alongside compatriot Thierry Henry.

"Milan interest? It is true," Abidal told L'Equipe. "AC Milan is a very great club, but today Italy is not my aim. Maybe when I am older I will change my mind

And then Tiago
On his first day as a Juventus player, Portuguese midfielder Tiago showed enthusiasm for his new adventure.

"Juve convinced me because they were more determined to get me than Milan," he said. "I'm here to win the Scudetto."

Milan go in market for tree new faces thats for sure

Abidal turned us down as Italy wasn't where he wanted to play yet. He still hasn't officially signed for them, that will take place today, so technically i'm right

Tiago's comments are a disappointing reflection on our club. We should either go full on to get someone or not bother, weakly trying to convince someone to sign isn't the right way to do things.

I still can't understand the 'We're fine in defence and midfield" comments. Tiago would have been a great addition to our central midfield, but instead we've signed Ba for some insane reason. He did nothing when he was with us the first time and is just another example of us taking the easy option in transfers. Why couldn't Ba's place go to Ze Roberto or Barusso? They would have offered alot more.

hahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahah

i haven't had a better laugh in some time

look at that SOAB's Mijatovic statement, concerning Bernd Schuster

"We are a gentleman's club and we will not make those types of mistakes," he said. "There are candidates and coaches that we like, but we have to respect those coaches and the clubs they manage. When we have a clear idea, the coach should do what he has to with his club in order to join us.

"We have time to look for the right person. We know how we want the next coach to be in order to win titles for the team in every competition. There are several candidates for the job, but I'm not going to give you any names out of respect for Fabio and our future coach.

"Many coaches would like to train this team, so it won't be hard to find the right person for the job. Berndt Schuster has the profile we are looking for, but we know he is still under contract with Getafe and we are not going to discuss the possibility of signing him out of respect for that Club.

is he retarded or what?

Looks like Ronaldinho was in Milan on Thursday good news
http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=339561
Exclusive: Ronaldinho's Milan Trip . It's on calciomercato too

tuttomercatoweb and corriere report after the suazo incident Milan will get first option on Michele canini. He is definately one for the future (only 22). Im not sure if it would be better to get him now, or get him now and leave him at cagliari for a year?

Canini has a lot of potential. Best to leave him at Cagliari next season so he gets more experience

OK, I am still seeing s with supposed news and quotes but NO SOURCES. Please always give a source when you post a report--it only takes a couple additional clicks and a couple extra seconds to do this. If silly season "stuff" is going to be posted without sources, I'll instruct the mods to delete it. OK? Thanks!

Warro, I love your Silly Season rules! Especially rule 5!
