Mystic men, i just wrote what will be ideal, not what is essense at the moment .

Robinho? A good option indeed, better than Pato and Rossi. But still Cassano or Adriano would be better gambles. Dinho? Rumours are fading away day by day, some Milanista's think that that is a good thing. Eto'o? I would bet he ain't coming after all the crap he been saying about us like "Milan will only ever have a picture of me" and BS like that. I aint a fan.

What is the date that the players will return to training? I think our signing (if we already secured the player) should be a day or two before the date that the players are meant to meet.

I totally agree with you, Galiani every day states different things

Thanks, Hasan. And when would his last contract end?

He is playing for Milan only 1 year and not yet being the starting line-up player but already got contract's extension. Milan is really serious with this player, IMO.

I think (and don't quote me on this) his first contract lasted until 2010.

They probably wanted to see if he was good enough in the first year.

Reports in Engalnd suggest Oba is ready to leave Newcastle if his wages are not met, cant we go for him? Hes the only Inter player I liked to be honest.

What's wrong with Real Madrid

They just bought Pepe for .....tamtararaaaaam......28 million Euro !!!!!

Pepe, Helguera, Metzelder, Cannavaro ...... none of the 4 strikes me as someone who'd accept the bench. Maybe it's bye bye Cannavaro?

Christ 28 mil.

Doubt Canna is going anywhere, Metzelder and perhaps Helguera will accept the bench.

I guess they will, but since CD pair plays most of the season together ( in this case Pepe-Canna) Metzelder and Helguera can only hope for an injury of one of Canna-Pepe to get a playing time.
Metzelder was a God in Dortmund and Germany and if his career was going downhill after the injury you can imagine where he's career will go if he spents the next year(s) on Real bench.
Helguera is 32, so he could accept the bench, but he's a player with over 300 matches played in Real jersey. He should be threated as a symbol of the club, like Milan , for example, is threating it's symbols. He was always a starter for Real when they were winning CL or La Liga and he was playing always good and was always very useful. Real would be disrespecting him if they put him on the bench. After all , why should a 34 years old Cannavaro , who is a noone in Madrid, be threated better than Helguera ?
It all depends on Schuster. I believe Pepe was his choice and Pepe will probably have a guaranteed place in starting XI. If Schuster wants someone new to be Pepe's partner or if he wants Helguera , Ramos or Metzelder to be the one, then i'm sure Canna won't accept the bench and he'll ask for a transfer.

Edit : And lets not forget , Schuster is German, just like Metzelder !

Metzelder and Helguera are solid players but nothing special, If Milan bought one of them we would all be moaning about it. Pepe-Cannavaro could be the combination, but in Madrid they are so stupid that in the end they could even sell Fabio! Maybe they dont like Fabio's at all

Any news about Nedved Tony?

TG24 says Milan will again try for Sheva this week, and Ronaldinho is still Silvios dream. While Braida doesnt want to comment on anything...

Barcellona, Rijkaard: "Ronaldinho andrà al Milan"
10.07.2007 13.15 di Giuseppe Di Napoli articolo letto 2425 volte
Il tecnico Riijaard avrebbe confidato ad un paio giocatori della vecchia guardia blaugrana che uno dei gioielli catalani andrà via e che molto probabilmente sarà Ronaldinho, fortemente voluto dal Milan.
Stasera ci sarà un vertice tra Galliani e Berlusconi, deciso a sferrare l'affondo decisivo: 100 milioni per il cartellino, 8 milioni di ingaggio e diritti d'immagine totalmente gestiti dal brasiliano.
Lo riferisce Studio Sport che ha ripreso un'indiscrezione del sito catalano deporte.es.

Don't laugh about something most of the guys here don't even understand

Here's the translation in short :
The headline says .... Rijkaard : Ronaldinho will go to Milan
One of Barca's jewels will leave the team and it will probably be Ronaldinho , who's been strongly wanted by Milan.
Tonight there will be a meeting between Berlusconi and Galliani and they'll decide about Dinho and the offer : 100m Euro to Barcelona, 8m euro for Dinho per year and all his image rights will be left to him.
Studio Sport reported this but they took it from Catalonian site deporte.es

Edit : No news about Nedved, Mrki. Camoranesi will renew the contract today but Nedved will decide in next few days. It all depends on Juve's final offer !

You are right, but I just can't see Metzelder in the starting 11.
Canna-Pepe indeed.I doubt Helguera will be given a special treatment by Real, latest years they've just become respectless bastards..

I hope Nedved will play one season more, I would love to see him in Serie A again.
