Summer Mercato

Daily Mail + Goal.com = lol.

"Spain’s Dani Guiza is the latest player to be linked with a move to the Emirates, according to the Daily Mail.

Güiza, who was La Liga’s pichichi last season scoring 27 league goals, is expected to leave Real Mallorca this summer with Arsenal the latest club to be linked to the Spanish striker.

According to the paper, Güiza is being viewed as a potential replacement to Emmanuel Adebayor who has been rumoured to be interesting both Barcelona and AC Milan in recent weeks."

But take it as you wish...

If Arsenal acquires this player, Adebayor would leave... Guiza isn't even that good. Most of his goals were against lower tier teams, and you can all see his sub-par performance against Italy.

He's a very new star and he led his side to their promotion...

lol adebayor 4 guiza would be hilarious. My arsenal friends head would hang soo low

diogo + pato could be interesting.... could be a strike force for 10+ years. I imagine the selecao would like it if they played for club together and gelled. Unfortunately would 2 strikers that young and unproven in europe (atleast diogo) be able to win serie A?

Not this year, or the next, but maybe the next after that!

That's why I'm leaning towards Eto'o... how about we buy Eto'o and Diogo? We would have a full strike force... if necessary we could then loan Diogo out so he could gain more experience. But keep him on tabs so we could recall him in the future... heheh... just my thoughts.

Yeah I talked with an Arsenal fan recently about Guiza, and he was laughing about that... and praying that his team does not replace Adebayor with Guiza. If Adebayor leaves (and that looks relatively likely), Guiza would be the worst replacement. It would be like Milan and Oliveira. Guiza plays for a no name team like Mallorca...

Edit: BTW, I'm still stunned we sold Oliveira for 10-11 million was it? How did Galliani pull that off and get Zaragoza (now relegated) to pay that much?

Our selling has been very impressive... not undervalued... sometimes overvalued (for the case of Oliveira and Gilardino). I'm not against getting every dime we can.

This article explains the rule perfectly. What your friend said is not mentioned at all in the rule.

If a player wants to use the article 17, then these things are a must:

1. Three years of the contract must pass if the player signed when under the age of 28 or two years if he signed when 28 or over.
2. The player must give his club formal notice within 15 days of the last match of his club's season (domestic or European, whichever comes later) in order to leave that summer.

My frend do you think that Milan can use that famous article!!
Galliani is guy for that things?!?

i believe we paid 15-17 for olivera? and thet paid 7 or 8 to us not 10?
on loan for zaragoza he was very good. Iunno he does well in spain, just worthless in italy

btw: how does zaragoza go down. aimar, milito, oliviera, ayala, sergio garcia?!

not saying its an all star squad... but relegation? kind of embarassing. These r all capped internationals..

We paid between that for him, and that was a waste of money indeed. But they paid us 10 million euros. I assume you're talking in Euros right?

Good question. It's a squad that a lot of money was spent on too... and they just slid down... it kinda tells that sometimes money doesn't buy fame.

I have a feeling they'll be back though...

i looked... 42 points. terrible away form, but it seems they just got unlucky at end. Yeah, well spanish league had alot fo parity last 2 seasons. I mean real madrid won la liga w/ 7 losses. Barca had 67 points (mind you we got 64) and were 3rd

off wikipedia on oliviera....

A.C. Milan

Milan lost Andriy Shevchenko after 2006 Italian football scandal, in search of replacement, Milan finally spotted Oliveira who missed the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Oliveira signed a five year contract for A.C. Milan on 31 August 2006, with Johann Vogel moved to opposite position as part of the deal. The two clubs negotiated nearly a week due to dispute between the transfer fee. The agreed price reported be €17.5million.[3]

...............................

yeah if i remember we agreed on 14 then betis moved out wanting 21 or so.

I think maybe this is why Galliani is hesitant on settling for any regular striker... we got burned more than once. Oliveira, Gilardino... We need a consistent performer like Shevchenko. I say lets not get any regular striker from Betis or Parma... lets settle for a player that plays at level a tad bit higher than that.

My fav, Inzaghi was bought from Juve...

Either way if we made 10 million Euros by selling Oliveira I say we did pretty well at least getting some money back on that failure.

Pato is young, but is starting to show consistency. But I still say we get a major striker.

i think if we got arshavin. arshavin + kaka, seedorf, pirlo can give ANY striker ALOT of opportunities to score.
