.... and he will bring all things upside down with his awful character.

Liverpool signed Torres.

IMO, he has "that awful character" just because he is famous and highly rated. But I think now he know what he should do. Giving up top football at 25 is not a good choice.

If our main target is Sheva, i prefer Huntelaar over him.
Whats going on with Huntelaar? I haven't listen for him for a big time.

I think he has been link with some clubs. But only slight rumors. I think Ajax will keep him this year. Babel's chance to leave is even higher than Huntelaar. I don't really understand why big clubs doesn't seem to be interested in Huntelaar those some attackers from Holland like Ibra, Ruud are doing very well.

comparing to the rumors last year, Liverpool got him quite easy. Is this news official?

Huntelaar is kinda underrated, few marketing

Completly insane hire Fernando Torres by 24 pounds more 2 players

Anyway, obviously Benitez wants a spanish colony in Liverpool and I think this coach is good enough to improve Torres skills

Better for Milan that knows who is underrated and who is not, almost even doing good acquisitions

To get things started, it would be nice if we simply trade Oliveira for Cassano. And then we look to next mercato move, I would be satisfied with that as Oli doesnt have enough class ( football class, not manners ) to play for Milan. Cassano can only get better,and Milan can help him a lot. Plus, we would loose one non eu player and get one italian instead.

I still have this burning feeling that Berlusconi's dream might come true and R10 will sign for Milan. There has no been many rumours regarding a move to Milan and I can't remember the last time that R10 came out and told Milan No but thank you.

I have a feeling that it will take tme to wrap up his signing and thats why Barca are spending like crazy and Galliani and Berlusconi are asking us to be Patient.

I believe that he will be presented to the team on July 23rd when training resumes.

Yeah. Not only has the player not come out and said anything, but Barcelona have been relatively quiet on that front. Their silence can mean that there is a possibility, or that his sale is an ineffable matter.

I strongly hope it's the former. Berlu has been the only one who said that "Laporta would have to leave the country if he sold Dinho." But Laporta, in public, has only denied Dinho's exit once or twice.

Well you could be right there, Dinho has also been spotted in Milan.
If Berlu wants something he will not let go of it until he get's it and all of a sudden he says Dinho is untouchable?I think not.

Milan's management has always loved to make the quiet surprise signings.So this could become true.
Dinho would solve our problems in attack, we'd only need to make a swap deal with Real for Oli-Cas.




What do you guys think of Santa Cruz?

we might not even have to swap RO for Cassano - Real seems to willing to let him go for free as his salary of 4+ mil is only burdening them without the club getting anything in return from the player.

despite what it may look like, the Real-Kaka antics doesn't seem to have tarnished the good relations between the two clubs - that's what Galliani said here (http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/index...=read&id=65478) - so we might as well get Cassano for free and send RO to some other club in exchange for a dif player or money (Villarreal seems to be interested in him and they would need a replacement for Forlan anyway ... and they are still looking for a new club for Riquelme too )

Riquelme is a very interesting player, but I doubt we'll go for him, since he has a bit of a negative temperament.
where would we field him?In a 4-5-1 together with Kaka'?

If there's a player that doesn't fit in this Milan team it's Riquelme.
Think about it and try to imagine him in Milan. He's a player who has to have the ball all the time. Riquelme-Kaka-Pirlo is impossible to imagine. Where are Seedorf and the 2 strikers in this formation ?

In Argentina he works great with Messi (Kaka) and Veron (Pirlo) but Argentina plays with 2 DMC's and only 1 attacker while Milan is clearly going after another wc attacker and it clearly says Carlo won't use 4-5-1.

He won'tr accept the bench, also. He left Barcelona to be a starter in a minor team, he'll never join Milan to be a bencher.

Chivu is now apparently on his way to Madrid, Mijatovic is in Roma to solve the deal... Cannavaro-Chivu will also be a great partnership.

Galliani said he spoke with Mijatovic and that Kaka' will stay in Milan for sure, and we all know that already. If we can get Cassano for free as Zlatanov says, than why not? If he makes trouble just sell him or bench him and ok.

And the more time passes somehow I think Milan waits for Ronaldinho.. Barca bought Henry, Abidal, Toure, they'll also go for G.Milito or some other CD, and probably Lampard. After they get all those players, Laporta will sell Ronaldinho and get his money back.

About Riquelme - we dont need him and we dont want him , he can play for Milan. Also, if you are seeing Copa America you can see that Messi is miles behind Kaka'...its all marketing tricks, this player will never be world's no.1 like Kaka' is now or Ronaldinho once was.

I can't say I disagree with what you said as I myself am not fully sold on having Riquelme at Milan, although that's mostly his attitude that makes him trouble for me.
True he is slower than Kaka and likes to play with the ball a bit too much probbaly but at the same time he isn't much different than Rui Costa ... all in all, we don't necessarily need Kaka #2 to relieve Kaka #1.

As for where he would play, he could play in Seedorf's role next to Kaka in a 1-striker system and can also be great in the fantasista role behind 2 strikers ... after all, Kaka cannot and should not play in all games and Milan doesn't have a suitable reliever for him, which results in Kaka being overused which isn't good for him and the team as a whole too.

I would be pretty content with Riquelme coming to Milan if it wasn't his dif character we'd have to deal with - and he's 29 or so yo, so it's too late for him to change that - as he seems to lose interest and motivation if he is not at the center of proceedings and at Milan he would always be in kaka's shadow and not only.
