Milan let Sheva go, not the papers, nothing else ... that train has left the station lnow ... as for Sheva, he can only teach some others a lesson as I am sure he would turn the world around if he could to come back at Milan.

What has been going at Real - treating players and coaches like merchandise as they see fit - is a great example for Kaka ... and so is Ronaldo ... an example of what awaits him in Madrid.

Like Tony I believe Kaka will be gone to Madrid when he is around 28-29. By then we most likely would have a good replacement so it won't hurt us too too bad. I don't see him leaving this summer though.

!!!!!!!??????

Hasan is right, it is a very reliable website that does not make up BS. But quite frankly I find that impossible to believe. Given how huge what Ronaldinho said, I would have expected it to be splashed all over the news when he said it. I also dont think Ronaldinho ain't that dumb.

surely with all this kaka to madrid stuff Ronaldo would tell him what its like there and he will get better treatment at Milan.

Yes, almost impossible to believe. Eather Dinho said this unofficial and the journalist wanted to keep the secret at first but couldn't wait anymore or Dinho never said it ....no third option imo.
Or maybe there was a deal not to publish it until late Sunday because Dinho will sign the contract with Milan on Monday



P.S : Zlat, how do you know he said these things ? Even if he's close to Milan and even if he signs for Milan on Monday, why the hell would he say this to a journalist instead of waiting for the official press and why did we hear about this today when , according to the author of the text, the interview took place on Friday ?
And also, the author says at the end "We hope he'll play for Milan...." ..... i doubt he's a Inter fan from Milano

well, let's just say that I know
as for why wait till today to post the article - what day it was Saturday for Italian journalists?
And no the author is not an Inter fan but he is Italian and a fan of Italian football and knows that should Dinho come to Italy, it's gonna be at AC Milan.
And even if the journalist is a Milan fan as he was in Milan reportedly, does that mean he made all that up?

it would mean that he is biased towards Milan and will quickly write down any rumour as an official transfer - a very English thing to do.

zlat, you predicted Dinho to be a Milan player by Mon/Tue before you even knew Dinho was in Milan. If it is true, I will come to the conclusion that zlatanov is Ronaldinho.

Lets just say i don't prefer to get my European football news from Soccernet

I'm 100% sure Dinho wouldn't have said this officially before he signs for Milan and i'm also sure that the journalist was playing with his words, kinda like :

Dinho : Yes, it is a dream to play together with Henry, Eto'o and Messi but we'll need Gattuso behind us
Journalist : And what about playing together with Kaka and Ronaldo
Dinho : Yes, i enjoy playing with Kaka and Ronaldo for Brazilian NT, i enjoy it the most

and the journalist made it like this :
Dinho : Yes, it is a dream to play together with Henry, Eto'o and Messi and we'll need Gattuso behind us but my greatest dream is to play together with Kaka, Ronaldo and Gattuso.

* note : Unless ( ) Dinho is already Milan's and the deal with the journalist was not to make the interview public until the transfer is official, i refuse to believe this !

Edit : Hitmanq8 , the author is Italian

no, I predicted etoo to be a Milan player by Wednesday but I think Milan has sniffed something new about Dinho and Barca's relations and the race seems to be open again.
One of those two will come to Milan, that's almost a given, the question is who and I think it would depend on how things between Barca and Dinho develop as he is the primary choice.

And no, I am not Dinho ... Dinho can't dribble like I can

Hey man. I can't discern whether you are saying these things tongue in cheek.

It's weird, but ever since the season ended, Barcelona have been fairly categorical about the fact that Eto'o won't leave, but have rarely touched on Dinho.

I've a feeling that the Milan management know something, or have a deal with him. My reasoning is that it's very quiet on the Dinho front, and it is precisely this calm that leads me to believe something is going on.

I am just kidding of course.

In truth, Dinho was in Milano to do some shopping, that's all ... and just because his brother-agent was also in Milano at the same time, people went nuts about all that and started connecting dots that just aren't there ... and they all assume that Milan/Silvio actually want Dinho
I mean, if that's not shooting in the dark, what is

I think I know what you're saying, but because of the sarcasm I didn't know if you were being serious.

Well.. this is actually the first transfer campaign that I am following. I really should say the first real transfer campaign, as I followed last years too and now I see how much it was plagued by Calciopoli. This one is nothing like it,.. ah..the cool,.. the calm, the relaxation, ah, the Galiani Gr8. All that's missing is a signing :sic

My personal favorite is Villa.

And I see everybody put in an notable effort.. 321 pages. Impressive! Kudos y'all, new and old
