I hope so.......
And than milan sign him and in january comes pato and play when etto go on africa cup.
Great deal

Ronaldinho is first options, ask Berlusconi. then Barcelona have Henry-Eto'o-Messi with Bojan and Santos knocking on the door. They can "afford losing" Ronaldinho and would make a lot of money on it. Even if Eto'o could be a better fit.

We know it's probably a non-EU player (I don't think Robinho is the looking for EU status anytime soon), and then there's been a lot of talk of the player being Brazilian. Also, Robinho is a pretty big name and has been important to both Real and Brazil over the past season and can play as a forward. Finally, Real are looking to get some players who can play a similar role to Robinho in Real, most specifically Robben.

There's no doubt it's pretty far fetched, but it's always a possibility. However, I think our star signing will be Ronaldinho.

No way Calderon gives Galliani what he wants, especially being a highly regarded player for them coming off a strong Copa America. That wouldnt be exactly a Real Madrid kind of move.
Maybe if its brazilian, not named Adriano, Ronaldinho or Pato, its Fred.

First thing first, I want to introduce myself to the forum, I've been following it for quite a while, and I have to say that I find it very very interesting, specially with the posts of people such as Zlatanov, Tony (the juventino) and Drucul. I was born in Mexico but I moved to California just a few weeks ago, and even that most of the Mexicans have Real Madrid or Barcelona as their favorite European team (since Hugo Sanchez crushed all GK in La Liga and most recently Rafa Marquez is doing well at Barza), I’ve been a Milan fan since the glorious days of the Dutch trio and ‘til this day my passion for the red and black jersey is growing every day.

Now on the topic, I honestly think that our management must to make their moves quickly, the mercato is getting more expensive every day and is going to get worse as the time goes on regarding price and availability. I know last year was a strange market for us because of the calciopoli, but CL or not (correct me if I’m wrong but I think the serie A place was granted much before the end of the market) they should had get an adequate replacement for at least the traitor and the ageing Cafu on the summer, they wait more than they should had and we ended up with RO and Oddo on the winter for pretty much the same price than he had in the summer.....we all know the squad needs to be strengthened in almost every line and even when we are European Champions that doesn’t mean that with the team as it is we’ll be able to challenge Serie A, CL, Clubs world cup and coppa Italia....

Well we know one thing for sure...we are interested in those 5 players and are working on it. The sixth player.........I think there is no sixth player as of right now but if we don't end up with one of the five mentioned then we will sign someone that Galliani will say that he was the much talked about sixth option.

Out of the 5 mentioned, for some reason I give the biggest chances to Eto'o and Ronaldinho. I think that a deal is made for one of them but we are waiting for that player to get the EU citizenship.

I really hope that's the case, but if they indeed a have a deal in place for either Ronaldinho or Eto'o I don't think they should wait for them to get their EU passport, I mean they still can get it while in Milan right? and those are players who can make a great impact on the 1st team, it's not like we don't want to sign them until they have their passport so they don't block the potential arrival of a bigger star.

Welcome to the forum Paolo, hope you enjoy it here.

It is true that we seem to be taking too much time to make our moves official. I said official because I believe that moves and agreements are probably being done or have been done but they haven't been made official. The question of why we are yet to sign anyone was answered I think clearly by Galliani, and we are obviously waiting for something to happen in order to put pen to paper with a cerain player and make him official. That's why in my previous post I said that I think it will be either Ronaldinho or Eto'o, simply because of the fact that we are probably waiting for the non-EU thing to be resolved. As soon the player we have and agreement with gets their EU citizenship we will make it official and sign him.
A few months ago I thought 'Dinho and Eto'o were untouchable at Barca but not anymore. In any case.......the reason we are waiting for one of them to get a EU citizenship is because we are probably looking at another non-EU player. If Ronaldinho/Eto'o get EU passports then that another non-EU will arive alongside with one of the two. If they don't get the EU passports then it will be only one of the two without that 3rd non_EU I just mentione.

It is all speculation of course.......but what else have we got to do then hope.

People were talking about Giuly. In Spain reports say that he may sign with Roma.

The cynic in me agrees with your idea about how the '6th option' is just a media stunt to keep fans excited.

Lol, I was just saying :P He's also my hopeful though, but he said there's going to be a surprise signing and that huge signing they were talking about so i guessed r10 and villa :P

the rumour speculates - I think that's the best way to describe it - that the 6th mystery man from Galliani's words is Tevez and Milan is working towards stealing him from ManU for around 30 mil euros.

It looks to me that, due to lack of other options, the journalist is throwing Tevez's name in the pile as he is probbaly the only big-name player left out there who hasn't been heavily linked with Milan.

actually, it looks like it's a done deal for around 4 mil. which would be a good signing by Roma and would give them some of the depth they lacked last season in that area of the field.

Thanks for the warm welcome nefremo!....if Milan does sign either R10 or Eto'o I'll be more than happy! but I would like them to get a LB and a Midfielder too, even when Janku did it OK as LB he's more a LM and with good but injury prone Ambro and ageing Seedord I think we need 1 more MID, we have Gourcuff but is going to be a long season with many fronts to face.

watching the copa america final last night, I think Julio Baptista should fit in our offense, I dont think he is that expensive

Totally agree, it's R10. Almost no doubt in my mind

Im sure having Tevez out from the Premier League is in their best interest (the league as a whole). Obviously Manchester would like to add him, and it looks like it will happen. I dont know why he isnt transfered once and for all to a club 100%. This Kia Joorabchian does no good to soccer.
Who knows, maybe if Tevez and Mascherano werent represented by this guy back then, they could have signed for us. One or the other. Mascherano was one of the best players in Copa America, and he also managed to keep Kaka in check during the last UCL final...and once Rafa Benitez took him out from the field, Kaka appeared and handed a sweet assist to Pippo for the second score.
