Damn he is strong!

Thing is, the our purchases for our defense can't stop here, no matter what MGT. thinks of Onyewu.

Thing is, we have a fair amount to lose with Onyewu. He came for free but he's taken what could be considered a valuable spot in the squad that should have been used for someone better. Financially we also have to still pay his wages, and in the recent years our biggest problem has been our spending on wages for weak players.

I agree that we must continue working on the defence, but based on Galliani's recent comments we're done.

Has Galliani counted his teeth and balls yet?

interesting signing, never seen him play before

There is plenty to watch of him on youtube. i have a video link earlier in this thread, and there are many videos showing his international form. That is why Milan picked him up after all....

Mate, do you think our technical director is in brazil just to watch Pato tie the knot? No, Milan are a cruel business....

We will be scouting many potential defenders such as Santos...

Question is, do we really need anopther LB/RB, or a CB? Remember, we still have Antonini. I know people write him off, but he wasn't given much of a chance last season. When he did play, he performed well....

Personally, I want someone who has played in Europe, but not in something like the medicore Belgium league...

the answer to your question is yes.we really need another LB/RB our backs are old and rusty

I've followed Milan long enough to never listen to Galliani's gibberish. So yes, I do expect more signings.

I doubt Andre Santos will come, especially as it looks most likely Fabiano will come.

I think we need one fullback and one CB. I've explained my reasons in the Summer Mercato thread. Regarding Antonini, he's ok as a backup and can do well, but defensively is very suspect and doesn't seem good enough for a regular spot.

I'm biased here. I am elated he's come to Milan. I hope we can afford to give him a chance to prove himself. I'll be honest this is a gamble for Milan, he needs some work on positioning. No one better than Maldini to do that. If anything we can get from Maldini after retirement is to be one on one with Gooch. The reward potential will be boundless.
Those of you who have no idea who he is... HE IS A MONSTER! I'd like to see Matterazzi try to smack talk the gooch!
Really great guy, handsome, going to steal the hearts out of many girls in Italy! That may be the downside t him coming to Milan. He's gonna win the hearts of the girlz.

FORZA GOOCH.

Personally, I wouldn't care less if Milan gets Fabiano or not. Every season, we seem to adequately bolster attack, but NEVER substantially reinforce defence. People who deny this haven't been watching Milan long enough....

A LB (more in need, bcs Flamini and Bonera can play in RB) and a CB is all that is needed for Milan now....

A keeper and a CF would truly be a bonus. COunt Onyewu as just depth, though I could be wrong by season's end... Either he will be forced to play due to lack of players, or he will truly take the next step. The latter is what I hope will happen....

thanks for the tip but i don't like to judge people from youtube clips

Yeah, usually videos dedicated to certain players make them look better than they really are. Same can be said for Senderos clips.....

Two things can be said about this player though: 1. He is strong 2. He is good in the air....

As far as I know Antonini is now co owned by Parma, so he will spend this season with them. As for buying a new defender we already bought one before Onyewu his name is Marcus Paixao Diniz a 21 year old Brazilian.

I wonder if we really need Oddo any more. With kaladze, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Onyewu, and Diniz as CB, Bonera can serve as a subtitute to Zambrotta.

Welcome to Milan Onyewu! Wish you the best luck!

Luca Antonini was our player last season, and is our player this season!
Luca AntonELLI was parma's player last season, but was co-owned by us. next season he will be 100% Parma player!!!

when do people realise these are 2 different players.

I started to not watch them after I found one for my local teams central defender who was really crap and he actually looked good in it Even more funny is that it was HE who had posted it himself
