Winter Mercato

Well Lucas cost £8 million, Torres was £26 million and Voronin was a free transfer (i think he was a panic buy before the new investors took over), so being the mathematical genius i am, i make that £34 million

However, they sold Garcia for £4.5 million and they've also sold (or are in the process of selling) Bellamy & Cisse for around £13 million. So taking that from the other total, they've roughly spent £16 million so far.

I'm sure given their run in the CL, ticket sales and tv deals, they must have made at least £50 million from that side of things. Plus the two new American owners at one stage pledged around £40-£60 million for summer transfers before they took over (depending on the sources you read). That total might have been re-evaluated seeing how they've altered the stadium plans, but they have the means to carry on spending big. Wether they do or not is another matter.



Additionally, they've bought another shed load of youngsters (one highly rated Spanish kiddy from Barcelona) as well. I don't know what sort of prices they've spent on them, not alot i don't think.

I dont see them spending much more after bringing in Torres..but who knows? I certainly dont

They signed Voronin on a free transfer, they took young Argentinian defender Insua on loan, 1 Bulgarian youngster (goalkeeper) and they spent money on Lucas Leiva (€10 million) and Torres (€30 million) ....so more or less they spent €40 million.

Even Juve spent more than Liverpool so i think they still have money planned for transfers this summer

Oh my gosh!! And we havent spent anything yet? (Unless you count Ba, which still was $0 spend ) Oh no, woe is me! We are doomed! Doomed I tells yah!

(Inhales deeply) ok...ok ok ...silly season, its silly season...its silly season...

Now I feel better!

With all the money spent by Liverpool, I still cant see them winning the EPL.

They are a cup team - at best.

Calm down i am Manutd but i believe the next season Chelsea will be the favourite and by sure Manutd will be there also.

teletext on Croatian RTL is saying( and quoting ) that Liverpool have made an offer and are close to sign Babel from Ajax...

But I figured out in what department Milan's managment is great ( except for winning CL 5 times in 20 years ) - creating modest and patient fans! Come on, look at us... some Barca and Madrid fans are still asking for more players. New Chelsea fans dont even know a thing or two about football, while Inter fans are...well...insane?

Most of us would be satisfied with only one good forward and one decent midfielder, like Pato and Motta for example. I have even distanced myself from mentioning Zambrotta in every post, it simply doesnt help

Now all I want is that Milan buys few great doctors and phisical theraphists to take care of our players that we have as we cant let anyone gets injured next season! Can I ask for less?

Upsss, i guess i was wrong. Looks like Nedved will retire. NOT OFFICIAL....yet

Grimi has been loaned to Siena.

phewww, thank god ... I was just getting worried

seriously, though, tell mark77 to change his sources - Nedved is not retiring and will play at least for one more season at Juve (the two sides will stariaghten it out)

Ajax rejected a bid of 10 Mill BP, they want something in the region of 13.5, Imho its pure robbery. Babel is overrated, I didnt even see him in the Euro championship.

I know that there is a pressure, that somehow suggest that a team must spend a lot of money in order to win. That does not work evrytime, example: real madrid last 4 years.

Sveto men, Real Madrid has not anything to do with Milan. Real (because i support them is Spain) sold Makelele who was the best df in the world and it was making tranfers only to sell t-shirts, they only bought players to make dribbles without the team real needs.

We need new players to fill the gaps we have as a team.

My opinion is that Milan to be perfect needed:

1) A GK to play aside to Dida, like Amelia

2) A lb Jankulofski isn't a lb is a Lm

3) A CB to play along Nesta and to be helped by Maldini (Il Capitano giving him advices for future)

4) A player to replace Pirlo, Riquelme would be to excellent for the bech, but they were too many others like Maresca.

5) 2 Strikers, an experienced one (Sheva, Drogba, Adriano, Eto'o et.c) and one future like Pato, Huntelaat et.c

.... and what is happening we have only bought Ba and a 16 years old striker,

Well done

The deal between Camo and Juve is almost complete.

We only need 1 striker this year and we don't need a GK as yet. Neither do we need a CB because we have Bonera Kaladze Nesta Paolo Simic all playing CB.

We need only 3 additions. A versatile midfielder, a LB and 1 support striker.
