Summer mercato 2009

In the meantime, Dzeko told local media sources : "I am staying at Wolfsburg, but I am not happy about it because I wanted to join AC Milan".

It is on transfermarketweb,i already looked also on the Wolfsburg site but there is no information there,only TWB are metioning it,on Tuttomercatoweb Galliani is saying that he is dissapointed at the fact that Dzeko is staying but that he will wait untill next week before he search a new target or something.

I am also confussed....

It is also on Goal.com

This means nothing. Probably just another tactic to get his price up, just like Galliani's statement that he called Wenger about Adebayor was his way of getting the price down.

Poor Adebayor, he was used by Galliani in the same way last year when buying Ronaldinho.

Inter are in the verge of losing Ibra and Maicon, and if they did it and I am a fan of Inter, I will be screaming for Moratti to go (especially if I compared your reactions in Milan here for Kaka's departure). And they have not bought anyone, same with us.

Juve bought Cannavaro. If WE buy Cannavaro, what would you say?

Well i have only one word for you about him:GREAT.

I dont have to tell you how good he is as he you probably know how talented the guy is.He can play as a winger or as a AM,he would be the perfect replacement of Kaka,the guy has as much talent as Gorky has,i have seen Afellay developing in the Eredivisie for years know,and what i like about him is is consistency despite his young age,also he keeps getting better each year,he would be perfect for Milan,he is the star player of PSV,nobody is better than him there.

He is for sale for around lets see....15 million or so.If somebody offers this money he can leave,and we have no rivals for his signing as nobody is interested yet.

BUT AND A BIG BUT i have to tell you the guy is very injury prone....and the Serie A defenders are hard IMO so i dont know if he will be getting much playing time here,he has the same problem as Robben but unlike Robben each season he does get less injured because he developes more muscles(first he was a skinny guy no not so anymore).

Inter actually bought Millito and Motta from Genoa.

Juve bought one of the best players in the worldIEGO.

Inter bought the hottest striker after Ibra last year:Milito,they have now the two most scoring strikers in their team in Milito and Ibra.

Also Inter are loosing dead wood,the likes of Crespo,Cruz and also failed purchases as Mancini and Quaresma are leaving unlike Milan who keep on holding at Kala and others...

And Ibra announced he will stay at Inter.

Please dont compare Inter with Milan,Inter is doing muuuuuuch better.

It is also not very easy for Italian clubs to buy their stadiums off the city councils because the latter make money off of the stadiums while doing very little to modernize them.

That leaves the option of clubs privately building stadiums, which poses two problems, especially in Italy:

1) Scarcity of land
2) getting considerable loans in times of economic hardship

You see, I am willing to recognize the positives of what is happening: Italian players will get more playing time and the national team should improve further. Also, with the new TV rights, the smaller Italian clubs may be able to do well in the Europa Cup.

As for competing at the highest level: that is not going to happen unless something very dramatic happens. The only other thing we can hope for is the collapse of the Prem bubble. In my opinion it is more likely that the Prem clubs find themselves in crisis than Italy sorting out its financial problems.

SORPRESA GALLIANI: "Preso un giovane, mancano i dettagli"

28.06 20:08 - "Abbiamo preso un giovane molto forte, che si aggregherà alla prima squadra? Il nome non lo faccio perchè mancano ancora dei dettagli": Adriano Galliani regala una chicca dal Workshop di Villasimius nel pieno della telenovela Dzeko. Nessun indizio nè sul ruolo nè sulla nazionalità del giocatore: non resta che aspettare dunque....

i wonder who he is,maybe Marquinhos as Kaka Replacement,i dont think its Dzeko,its very early for Dzeko.its impossible to find the agrement for him this early.

we are trying to sign strong central striker,Dzeko,Fabiano and Adebayor.i'd be very pleased if we signed both Motta and Milito,Motta would be nice additions and bring some competition to Ambrosini who lacks competition.Milito is very good player.they were cheap options.we could sign Rossi and Hernanes with the rest of our money.Arnautovic is good player as well.positive signing for them.

oh yeah, they're doing better, maybe I will switch favorite club this season :sarcasm:

Kalstroem what is Galliani saying in your post,i also read it at Tuttomercato and translated it but i still dont get it......can anyone help.

Dutchie what does this say
"MILAAN - Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is in beeld bij AC Milan. Vice-voorzitter Adriano Galliano heeft donderdag op de website van de Italiaanse club gezegd dat de Nederlandse aanvaller van Real Madrid op een lijstje van favorieten staat. "

I figure it says we are interested

Galliani: We have bought a young player, but I cannot say the name because details still need to be sorted.

Juve bought Cannavaro for a short term solution, in a year before the WC, to play with Chiellini in a team that grows young italian players like Marchisio, Criscito, Chiellini, Giovinco, De Ceglie... Cannavaro for them is not a problem, he is a short term solution that was needed to balance the experience and tactical aspect of the game in their back line. Ferrara already said Santacroce is the player they look at, and Juve's scout that refused to say "yes" to Santacroce last summer got fired from the old lady.

Signing of a player depends on few aspects. If you remember, this winter I was sayingyes to Canna, becouse I know he can do well on 1 year contracts in an italian club. You'll see that this year Im sure.

Inter have not bought anyone? Arnautovic had medical, Millito and Motta signed. And in all of that, Inter still didnt sell anyone. If someone is to leave it will be Maicon.

Moratti invested huge ammounts of money in Inter is past 5 years, winning 3 scudetti in a row, and invsting again this summer. unlike Belrusconi and his saving **** and lies in past 3, 4 years. Chack facts before saying such comical things about my reactions.

P.S.

Its possible we bought Huntelaar. The deal is simple coz of KAka transfer, and most likely he came in cheeper. And Hunter is a great no.9! He has my support.

Maybe the young player in Neymar

If you open your eyes and look at the facts:

Inter:

Transfers In: Motta,Milito.

OUT:Mancini,Suazo,Materazzi(if the offer is good),Cruz(leaving for free for sure) etc.

Star players:Maicon 50% of leaving,Ibra staying.

Milan In:Abate,Di Gennaro

OUT: Kaka,Gorky Pirlo maybe

Star Players:Kaka Gone,Gorky Gone,Pirlo maybe going.

Look at the players Inter got and we got,they got 2 great players whom one of them scored a lot of goals,and the other one(Motta)is a doubt,while we got 2 unproven youth players!!!

They have two star players in their team,the will MAYBE sell one and Ibra is staying.We are selling all our star players.....

Inter is doing better just confes it.

It says this in English(sorry still working on my English people):

AC Milan are looking at Huntelaar,Galliani,the vice-precident of Milan said on the Milan website that Huntelaar is one of the strikers on Milan's list.

So its just a report on Galliani saying we maybe will move for Huntelaar.
