some interesting stuff - Luca Toni says that in the spring he had already agreed a deal with Milan but it is believed that Berlusconi intervened and blocked the move for several reasons:
1) the player's age 2) questions on his physical sondition and 3) Silvio wanted a dif type of striker

I actually thought Toni would be our surprise signing. I posted it a few weeks ago, but then he signed for Bayern . http://www.milanmania.com/forums/sho...554#post434554

Spanish daily AS claims that Berlusconi is prepared to pay the 125 million Euros required to trigger Ronaldinho's buy-out clause at Barca.

The report claims that Milan will make a series of bids for the Brazilian forward, but if they do not succeed then such is Berlusconi's desire to bring him to the San Siro, he will meet the enormous buy-out clause, which would comfortably break the world transfer record currently held by Real Madrid, who paid £45.6million for Zinedine Zidane in 2001.

AS goes on to claim that an agreement has already been reached between Ronaldinho and Milan that will see him sign a five-year contract worth around £6million a year, plus exclusive image rights.

Ronaldinho has been in extensive contract negotiations with the Catalan giants to improve his current deal, which runs until 2010.

However talks have stalled, leaving the prospect of the Brazilian joining the European champions open.

Well Silvio was right as we have Pippo and Gila and dont need Toni. Aldough Toni is a great player and could do better than Gila at this moment, Gila is around 5 years younger and could still play as he used to do.

But it seems like every transfer in Milan has been monitored and decided by Berlusconi. Even Ribery said Carlo called him and Milan was interested but Silvio wanted different tipe of player. And we all know who does Berlusconi want...

Barca Chief: Ronaldinho, Deco And Eto'o Not For Sale During an interview this morning, Barcelona president Joan Laporta insisted that veteran squad members such as Ronaldinho, Deco and Eto'o are going nowhere this summer, despite last season's failings...
Barca Chief: Ronaldinho, Deco And Eto'o Not For Sale

Barca chief Joan Laporta spoke out about last season's squad in an interview with Catalunya Radio. Despite insisting that changes had to come this season, he defended some of the high-profile players involved.

Admitting that some players had "excessive confidence" last season, Laporta confirmed that he saw the problem as being almost solved. "We have a structure that works, a club that's in working order, and everything is under control. We had to fit in some screws," he said, referring to squad disharmony last season.

Eto'o and Ronaldinho were two players involved in unprofessional incidents last season. Laporta confirmed that any repetition of the problems of the last campaign may well see either one of the players disciplined by the club, but he insisted that they were not leaving the Nou Camp.

Still on the Ronaldinho theme, he claimed that the tendency of some players to miss training would "no longer be a problem" due to the new rules at the club.

He went on to defend coach Frank Rijkaard, proclaiming that he had complete confidence in the Dutchman, Rijkaard having demonstrated over the last four years that he is "right for Barca."

Finally, he hit back at suggestions that he was seen as a draconian figure by the players. "My relationship with the players is not one of permanent quarrelling," he intoned. "I'm not their father. I speak with them and reply to them; they know me, I know them and I respect them - to be a Barca player is not easy, as it requires sacrifice."

Laporta concluded by saying that he would not currently be renegotiating Ronaldinho's contract as it runs until 2010, although he hopes that both the Brazilian and Deco can return to their old form soon.

Yeah, Steza is really reliable, the other guy isn't.
But they were joking this time. They don't have inside info.

Actually i really did get told last night by someone i trust that Ronaldinho really will sign "within the fortnight". He didnt know the price but he was certain the deal was done I dont know for certain where he gets the info but its definately through betting circles and his hit rate for predicting transfers has been about 90%

Thats not to say he'll definately be right this time, but i do know he is 100% sure of the info himself

Time will tell i guess, and if he is wrong he owes me £10 so either way i will be smiling

anyways, no Russo-Neri, Steza dowsn't have inside Info, he was just kidding ... as for the other guy, well, he likes seeing people scratch their heads ... like our friend Tony did when he read the news about nedved staying with Juve

That "other guy" sounds cool

Thanks Zlat

I've just heard the news on Rai Due and they said how Dinho's brother is asking for 10m euro/year salary and he won't go under that.

[quote=Gabriel489]Whats with all these talks about Lampard.

TO be honest, he is a solid player but nothing special.



I agree on that 1000%. He's a good player, but he's nothing AMAZING that astonishes you with everything he does on the ball, first of all Lampard and real moves is a definite no. I don't think he's ever once even put it through someones legs or over someones head.. He's a good player, low on technicality, good shot though, nothing amazing.

TBH a lot of people could think this article is "bs" but I think Ronaldinho is ours.. He's been frustrated, unliked by Barca fans, I mean go on an all team forum like goal or w.e you want and see what Barca fans had to say.. Some are we don't care and hes crap etc etc, could just be jealousy because he's going to make Milan a top club I'm just concerned about one small thing, don't you think Kaka' and R10 will get into a lot of disagreements? And another thing, I still think we need a striker, if we get pato that's great he's young so he knows coming to milan he wouldnt get all the playing time he'd like but thats not all -- this provides Ronaldo a lot of playing time and if he were to get injured which is quite likely (hopefully not) we have an upcoming henry on the bench (Pato) but besides, even if R10 and Kaka' don't play in the starting 11 like we do 1 mid (and rotate between halves) and then 2 strikers (Pato and Ronaldo) Or you could do 1 striker 2 mids.. So basicly :


------------Ronaldo-------------Pato----------------
--------------------Kaka or R10---------------------

ORRR


--------------------Ronaldo or Pato-------------------
-------------Kaka'--------------------------R10------

I still don't see how all 4 can play together though.. it would look like..

-------------Ronaldo-------------Pato-------------------
---------R10-------------------------------K22----------
I don't even think this could work? Our defense or midfield would have to be weakened or we'd have to put heavy defensive mids behind them two to make defense and attack equally as powerful.. :S

We're not gonna play with 2 strikers if we have Dinho.

What talks? I didnt see anything worth reading about Lampard on this thread...but maybe I am mistaken..whatever, he isnt worth my time.

On to more interesting news: The "Ronaldinho to Milan" saga continues I see...hmmmm...nothing wrong with that...should be wrapped up in a few weeks, then its on to the debate of where he will play, who will be benched, and who else we will bring in.

Silly Season...the most fun time of year!
