why not a move for Rosina? No one seems to be mentioning his name.

The comments by our management and players is the ones for someone that is sealed, not someone that is just loosely rumoured.
Ancelotti went to see him personally and is said to have given him the stamp of approval.

His age and non-eu status are the reason he is not being presented yet.

He is sealed. Likely for january.

Some of what you say is just one way of looking at it.

All rumours to other clubs are dead

So is the rumour of him to our club. Inter & Chelsea are still linked to him when the papers decide to do so.

The rumours to other clubs we saw before was not solid in any way.

Chelsea made an offer i believe.

Leonardo is behind the deal, probably worked long on it.

This is true and probably our trump card.

His agent came here, that is comfirmed.

His agent also went to London, that was also confirmed.

He fits the profile for one of our transfers.

This is true, but as Chelsea & Inter (clubs who buy without profile most of the time) are the others linked, this is irrelevant to their needs.

The comments by our management and players is the ones for someone that is sealed, not someone that is just loosely rumoured.

I agree. Galliani recently said that Pato was worth all 4 of Shevchenko, Etoo, Ronaldinho & Drogba. That's not a statement you make if you have no intention of backing it up.

Ancelotti went to see him personally and is said to have given him the stamp of approval.

I'm sure plenty of other scouts and managers have seen him also. Plus Mourinho, Mancini & Moratti have spoken about him just like Ancelotti has. I can look in a shop window, it doesn't mean i've bought the goods.

His age and non-eu status are the reason he is not being presented yet.

Why is this the case? Why be so secretive about sealing his deal. Surely all you'd have to say is that we've signed him and that he'll be joining us after he's 18.

So liked i said, for me your views are definately a way of looking at things, but it's only 1 way. Fans from other clubs could probably just as easily make up a similar list to suit their needs and make it look like things are in their favour.

All will be revealed shortly

If we cant look outside Italy then we should stick with inside Italy:

Berlu I would like Mancini, Quag & Boijinov.

SO is Pato red and black?

To be honest, I think it is about time Milan went out and sign someone

Eto'o out, so Milan go Brazilian Tuesday 17 July, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barcelona have slammed the door on Milan’s Samuel Eto’o bid, so their attention turns towards Alexandre Pato and Julio Baptista.

The Rossoneri named Eto’o as one of their prime targets and there were reports today that a £28m bid had been tabled.


However, this evening Barca President Joan Laporta responded to the interest in the Cameroon striker.


“Eto’o is not for sale. This coming season Barcelona’s front line while be a poker of stars – Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi and Eto’o.”


FIFA agent Ernesto Bronzetti also doubts that Milan could get their hands on the African hitman.


“I really doubt Eto’o will join Milan. Barcelona have no intention of selling their forward,” he noted.


So Carlo Ancelotti and transfer guru Adriano Galliani must turn their attention to other targets.


Already having a squad packed with Brazilians, they are again looking to the South American nation for reinforcements.


Milan’s interest in Under-20 World Cup starlet Pato is well known and they face a battle with Inter, Chelsea and Real Madrid for his services.


A new name to add to the list is Julio Baptista, who scored a sensational goal in Brazil’s 3-0 Copa America Final victory over Argentina on Sunday.


He spent this season on loan at Arsenal, but is still owned by Real Madrid and would be happy to accept the San Siro switch.


An attacking midfielder, he could allow Kaka to move further up the field to continue his goal-scoring exploits.

so julio baptista and pato are milan's biggest targets!
like those 2 players hope we get em both and 1 defender

you made my day with those pro Ronaldo comments Tony

Please accept my apology in Dru's name.
Myself and Dru are friends and we're joking between each other all the time, so it's kinda allowed for him to edit my posts
But i know what he wrote was stupid and childish and many of you feel insulted with the way he talks about Gila.
I'll have to teach him a lesson

Hehe it's ok Tony29. I know its joke from Drul.
The 'gay' part is excessive, I think.

No, problemo mate! I know that means not really gay but it sounds so excessive, IMO. Even Ibrahim Ba, I can't say he is gay.
