Summer Mercato 2010

Bonera, Zambro, Oddo, Abate and Papa can all fill in and play RB, not sure why Milan need another one?

also not sure why they keep looking into strikers.. first neymar and now balotelli.. hopefully their just rumours and the only truth in it is ganso he'd be great

And the new guy Montegonlo, too, hope that he could be a new Antonini.

This year we sold Dida and realeased one place.

This year we can, of course, that is not the quetion. Im not for getting Neymar at all, we do not need him. Lets not be greedy people. Ganso is much more needed in Milan, and Essien

I do agree about Pato's injuries, I also expect him to be more stabile this year. Actually now this sounds stupid as I do not know nothing about his phisical state and Im not a doctor who sees him everyday in Milanello. This is just our wish... BUT, Pato is a bit older, maybe it the case as with Messi, maybe.

yes to the bolded question mate..
the rule says no more than one non-eu every season..so we can get each year one without selling anyone..

I may be a bit late but let me just congratulate all the members of MM on finally signing some world class players Ibra and Robinho are no doubt two top class players. With the quality of these two guys up front we will at least now not drop many points against the weaker teams.

Well done to our management and I feel sorry for Borriello but with all due respect to him, Robinho and Ibra are players of different class.

No this is not true.

When we had 2 Non-EU spots open, one was free without needing to get rid one of one, while the condition for the second spot was only if one previous non-EU player leaves the club.

They now cut down from 2 Non-EU to 1 Non-EU, and the spot is not free any more. We must get rid of one previous player to sign one. We already got rid of Kaladze and Dida, however next year we will have a problem as we don't have any Non-EU players on our squad that we want to get rid of (only Silva and Pato).

A solution would be in January to sign some cheap Non-EU player from a Serie A club and send him out on loan back to his club, then bring him back in the summer only to sell him.

That is what Im talking about. Im hoping Galliani is not getting ready to sell Pato for some big money next year. Just like we sold Kaka after buying Dinho etc.

So if that's the case, we can get rid of one between Strasser and Odu next season ... Both are registered in first team and are non-EU (it's actually maybe one of the reasons they are registered in first team ? ).

The fact they are already co-owned can even be a first step towards their sale ...

If the youth is not good enough, better use Sokratis, Bonera or Abate. Our pundit from France also doesn't recommend him, that what I can summary from GeoTav posts about him.

Yeah, Clerc isn't what I call a big improvement for the team ...

Ahah !!

okay,that must be a new rule,as 3 years ago things were as i posted for sure..i remember it from FM too..anyway i dont like your version to be honest..

AC Milan's midfield 2009-10:
Pirlo, Ambrosini, Seedorf, Flamini, Gattuso & Abate

AC Milan's midfield 2010-11:
Pirlo, Ambrosini, Seedorf, Flamini, Gattuso, Abate & KPB

---------------------------------------------------------
Now here is the deal. Last season every one here was going crazy about the lack of depth, quality, movement & creativity etc etc of the midfield. The only new addition is KPB & I get the impression that most of the ACM fans don't rate him highly.

SO

What makes you guys think that same so called slow & old midfield would not repeat the same thing which they did last season? Unless you think KPB is the difference maker, there is a huge point of worry here To win a league you need a Lampard, Xavi, Iniesta, Bastian-S, Sneijder & Ballack type of a midfielder. Does AC Milan has that kind of a player? Do you guys believe in Pirlo to deliver? I have my doubts here

Pirlo will shine for sure this season ... why am I so sure about that ?
He will have moving players around him (possibly Flamini and/or Boateng, Robinho and/or Pato) + 2 easy targets (Ibrahimovic with his size, and Ronaldinho if Pirlo is unable to produce a good pass).

Last year, around him, he had only Pato for some games and Ronaldinho when he was in a good form.

And it's not about pace/speed, it's only about the way the players move, they can move slowly but move, it will be a good thing if they do it for 90 minutes and a big new step compared to last year.

Out of topic: Subscriptions for CL increase every day ... it looks like San Siro will be again the home of Il Diavolo in CL !! 27200 subscriptions have been sold for CL (22103 last year) but only 24492 for Serie A (25780 last year).

Simply bc of the attack, I had been saying it for sometime, that if any team having a great scorer in today's age football world can be consider a great team. on top of that, Pato, Robinho will prvide great speed and movement up front, while Ibra is a target man as well as someone who can dribble pass two defenders.
Flamini did not play a major role last year and he will if Alllegri is not lying. Then there is KPB, as his running and movement are what Milan lacks last few seasons.

SEBASTIAN COATES will join the Rossoneri.

According to reports, AC Milan have secured the services of 19-year-old highly-rated central defender, Coates, who will start wearing Black & Red in January, when the transfer window reopens.

Coates is very tall (196 cm) and has good physical strength and great qualities; he’s good at high balls, good placement and high individual technique. He’s mobile too, and for that, he’s been likened to Brazil Captain Lucio.

Milan have started looking for replacement to the ageing Alessandro Nesta (34) and the young Uruguayan, who plays for Nacional, could be the man of Milan alongside Thiago Silva in the future.

The player will turn 20 by January and therefore he won’t be able to play for Milan’s Primavera, meaning he will be either loaned out or used in the first team.

Coates has played 12 official matches and scored 2 goals with the Primera División Uruguaya side. He also has 10 caps in the national team.

also.. milan seems to really be doing it with there youths, maybe we'll have the best goalie in the world in 4-5 years time

The outburst from Serbian talents continue after it was confirmed that the 15-year-old goalkeeper of Vojvodina, Lazar Petkovic has signed for Milan at the end of week.

Petkovic is considered for one of the biggest “diamond” of European football. Vojvodina’s goalkeeper has also impressed Carlo Ancelotti and Alex Ferguson, whos’ been under watchful eye the entire season.

Arsenal and Liverpool have also been interested in this fifteen year old boy, but eventually he has ended up in the Milan’s jersey, after the trial to the San Siro, which is confirmed by Vlada Borozanm the agent of this amazingly talented goalkeeper.

“After the trial Milan decided to sign a contract with Petkovic, leaving behind their competitors: Chelsea, Manchester United, Zenit from St. Petersburg, as well as some German teams. Lazar has been a member of the youth national team,” said Vlada Borozan.

bwahahahahah Holland 4-0 San Marino and guess who just scored a hat-trick? Yep you guessed it!!!!
