I remember alot of people where saying the same when we got panacaro...and look at the great job he did for us.......

Alsdo we are not giving the management enough credit......
They know they want gallas, and if he comes kaladze will go back to left back....so if they make this move it must mean that the chances of getting gallas are slim to none, and if that is the case it implies that the chances of sheva leaving for chelsea are also decreasing

I agree with the first two paragraphs Triniman, but not the last portion of the third.

I think that the Gallas move will still be on, with Kaladze going back to LB, and Favalli being back up...and I doubt the Gallas transfer will have any bearing on whether Sheva goes or stays.

I hope they can use Favalli in exchange for Oddo. This shld lower Oddo's transfer fee. I feel tat Oddo will b a gd signing. Personally, I feel tat Costacurta shld retire & b a player agent for our italian players. In tat way, our players won't b lured 2 other clubs. Cafu shld also leave. He is getting too old & injury prone. I hope Milan will stop signing players aged 30 & above.

This is like the worst signing. I mean come on how stupit you have to be and sign this guy? We don't need himmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah, right... just like Vieri did?

Don't worry mate, you won't see him that often playing! Vieri's entry was hyped up and unfortunately he didn't think he could do any good hence he moved on. You can say that its a bad start but real things haven't even begun yet. 31 august's midnight is too far away!

Let's pray, Rahul, let's pray...! But with the prospect of Peruzzi and Poulsen as our next signings I still can't be very happy!

When is our transfer policy going to change??? Do we even have a youth system?? How are we going to give our youngsters a chance if we keep signing veterans as second or third string backups?? I am just very pissed off at this whole Favalli thing. if it was five years ago when he was in his prime at lazio, i wouldnt mind. but now? if he didnt sign for us, where would he end up? Messina? Chievo? Cagliari? we are not a "second string" club, i dont know why we keep signing players who are way past their prime. Favalli is certainly not going to be in our starting eleven, so why not take a chance on someone from our youth system or an up and coming star from elsewhere??

That's right, you have a good point: if you wanna just a backup player to add the depth to the first squad, why not pick someone from the 'primavera' squad, a young player that can grow up playing with the professionals?!?

This is great, so who is next, is Milan going bring the Great Baresi and Van Basten ouit of retirement too, since Milan would not need to pay transfer fee for them.

For real, MIlan did not need to pay transfer fee for Ballack too, where the heck is Ballack now?

This is exactly why Galli and Berlu really need to think and consider. I mean, why r they keep brining in over the hill players and bargain players. We are Milan not Reginna, no offense to Reginna.

For real, I really don't understand why Milan management would not spend the money on quality players. For two years in a row, Milan won nothing, Inter actually got Italian Cup. So in some strange way, Inter fans could actually say this to us, " What have ur team won the last two years?" NOTHING. yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes, we can say that we finished second and that a few years ago we won the CL and Series A.... but what have Milan won over the past two years??? Really?
NO wonder guys like Sheva wants to leave, it is for signing like Favalli.
Some of you might say that Favalli could be a perfect sub.... but how can Milan develop homegrown talents if they keep signing old timer that will take away the play time of younger players????? Think about that.

I am very upset and pissoff, b/c I really do not see a point in this transfer.

QUite frankly, if this is for trading Oddo, then I guess it kindof make sense, but still????

THe Milan Management must sign quality players and not bench warmers

Agree fully. I tink Sheva feels tat we have no ambition by purchasing players lk Favalli. I've no idea wat's goin on man. It pains me 2 c my fav club go thru a crisis lk tis. It's nt lk we don't have the money. Ridiculous....absolutely ridiculous

It is painful for all of us.

Now I am not suggesting we are glory hunters....but we all love Milan and to see Milan do not go after talent after talent and settle for much much much less. And claim they can compete on all fronts is really starting to make me sick.

I mean, if Milan is heading for a youth movment, then I can expect them to struggle, but at lease I know why they are struggling and can look forward for the year after that. But it is different now? Milan is heading for a retirement movment, where they welcome soon to retire players that offer no value to the squad, such as this Favalli signing. If Favalli is a RB, then I agree and would not be upset at all, since Milan got all but one true RB, but Favalli is a LB. There is Kaladaz, Janku, Maldini, Serginho and even Billy. Now what are the chances that all of them will be hurt and cannot play?

I want to make one thing clear, I am not a glory hunter nor I am against old timer. Since I believe in quality not age, and need over want. And quite frankly, I just cannot use quality with Favalli and I doubt Milan need someone like Favalli.

It is very sad to see that instead of going forward, Milan is going backward. I really don't understand this Favalli signing, unless for trade for Oddo, but if that is the case, why would Lazio accept it, since they could have signed Favalli for free too, if they wanted him, right?

I can actually see more sense in Poulsen signing than this. Quite frankly, if Milan continue this way, I really no longer want to buy any merchandize from them. Since I do not want them to spend my money on stupid thing like Favalli signing.

Ballack was free too, just remember that, and he is quality and Milan need someone like him, so how come not Ballack but Favalli?????????????

"Lord_Tawreser: If age is a factor then let me remind you of Billy vs Barca"
U realy think that Costacurta was any good against Barca??? He was pathetic realy, the way he "ran for his life" from Eto'o and let him get one on one with Dida... I realy felt pitty for him, like a little mouse running from lyon.

i agreed. Billy was just plain bad. period. i personally feel that we have to get rid of some luggages from the past like billy for example.

Like all of you, i am not happy about this transfer but neither am i upset. if you guys remember, at one point of time, serginho was our only LB available, i am sure ancelotti wanted a true defensive LB at some point in time.

Let's just wait for the transfers to be concluded before starting the attacks.

lets all be happy we SIGNED(like useual) a 34year old(like useual) defender

wow now our average age isn't 31 bur now 32 ==> lets go to 33
man we need youth!!!

thought after kaka and gila we were going a good direction but i was mistaking
