It's still my favorite

The newest FM is always my favorite. On the 2006/07 version I'm still with Milan now in 2017. My last transfer budget was announced to be 657 million Euros, so I can pretty much get anyone I want...

Today's Gazzetta basically says that Milan are going to return to training, and we don't know the identity of the big striker.

Also, Pele tells Kaka to stay at Milan.

Lol Bayern Munich.. Psht. Ribery and Toni are nothing, they both average players, if they had ballack it would be better then Toni and Ribery, and besides , who kicked them out i think 2 years in a row? ^^

I personally think that Ronaldinho and Baptista rumors are completely untrue.

Let's start with Baptista. Since he joined Real he haven't shown any good. Real always wants to get rid of him and loan him to Arsenal. And he is even a sub in Arsenal (worse than Adebayor). How come a sub in arsenal worth 15M and Henry worth 16M? I think he is just like our Oliveira, played well, but just 1 season. 15M is a crazy bid since Galliani said 10M for Pato is too expensive

With Ronaldinho, I think Calderon's desire to have kaka is more than Berlusconi's desire to have Ronaldinho. And they are only will to pay E80M (though I have even heard from someone it's E104M). Kaka is 2 years younger and he definitely 2007's Fifa player of the year, European player of the year, everything... How come we pay P84M for Ronaldinho? 40M-50M is a fair price. And I don't really understand, but if Ronaldinho keeps his image does it mean we can't have anything from his shirt?

There are so many people here playing FM or CM.

@Tony: I think the biggest unreal thing is some young players having too good attributes, not the transfer. Can you please show me how you bought Buffon with E10M? I have to pay P42M for Casillas (FM 2007). Ah, one more question, why don't you play Juventus? Maybe you have realised that you can't be the champion with Juve when there is Milan?

I too simply cannot believe.... one cannot begin think about great players, and end with a panzer tank disguised as a footballer.

i think we need defenders end maybe one striker

apart from missing out on ribery..who played very well today against bremen....(munich look really strong with their new signings btw) but we also missed out on another diamond in the rough.....ROLANDO BIANCHI!!!!....he was a solid striker for reggina last yearand was already used to playing in serie A....also scored a really good goal against us btw..and now he has already scored 3 goals in 2 games for Man city....he is young (24) wouldnt have costed us a whole lot as he only cost man city 8.8mil......i kno there isnt used in talking abt him because he has already signed...but i really hope and hope that we sign R10 or some1 !!!!!!!!! at this point....inshallah

84 million pounds!!!!!
Just think about it. 84 million pounds. Great teams are worth less then that.
I know people say that if Milan spend that type of money on R10 we could easily account for it through merchandise and adverts. I agree R10 is one of the best footballers to grace Gods green earth but 84 million pounds. Thats
nearly double what R.Madrid paid for Zidane. If you compare the tallent of both players though they are different players I would rather have Zidane in my squad then R10.

I am one of R10's biggest fans but even I'm not convinced in paying that amount of money. Think of the example that Milan would be selling for other clubs. Thats what worries me. The smaller clubs will see that Milan is willing to match such a high buyout clause then should up the prices for their players. The problems in today game is that like most people know its about running a business and you can not run an efficient business without money.
Just look at some of the prices clubs are asking for their players. Let R10 stay at Barca if its going to cost Milan that type of money. Or ask the player request a transfer. I for one believe that Barca will fall if they keep all four players. One thing Milan is great at doing is having balance within the side. Mlan must not comprise that. There are other players that would improve Milan more then just the purchase of R10.

Milan should sit down and construct a plan of what the club needs and attempt to buy the best player in that position. We don't need luxury buys.
Now don't get me wrong cause I would love to see R10 at Milan but I hope that he would not be the only one.

Milan should address their left back position, cover in the DM role or a starter on the DM role to take Ambros place. It all depends on what Ancelotti wants to do with the side. We need players that will fit the system and want to come to Milan. Remeber Milan is a family and thats something I don't see in many clubs these days and its why Milan is so special.

Milan have 30 something days left of the transfer window to operate and improve the side I hope that they throw all their efforts into R10 and negelect other areas.

Wow. 84 Million Pounds. That's $168 Million. That's a lot of money, to put it mildly.

Add on top of that R10's personal terms he's allegedly already agreed to. It's gotta be on line with Kaka's huge contract just signed recently.

I guess Burlusconi is dipping into the stash of lira bills he uses to wipe his bum.

But guys that money is coming directly from Berlusconi, almost as if its a gift. True Barca are getting that money, but Milan is not losing that money as some here claim.

Ofcourse we can buy much better players with that money and im pretty sure that this situation has been addressed at the board but if they think it aint the right time, then it aint. Give them some space to work FFS. I am growing more impatient with the management day by day but I aint complaining. I would love to sign a few players but all I can do is hope, nothing more.

So instead of bashing Milan for being linked in a rumour spending 84million for Dinho, you guys could instead think, "2 time world-player of the year joining the European Champions, Can anyone stop them now?".. we have the same squad as last year in the CL and over that we have Ronaldo and an extra striker that is coming, so you guys should CHILL and TAKE IT EZ! It aint as bad as you guys make it!

wherever it comes from, it could be better spend. Anyway, it will be all forgotten if it comes through and we get scudetto or CL.

It could definitely be better spent, but whats the use of us moaning and crying about it? At the end of the day we're all going to be supporting Milan next season even if we swap Kaka for Baptista.

We should support the management no matter what, and ofcourse it is necessary that we voice our disappointment sometimes but give them at least to the end of the market before judging them. Their inactivity in the market used to bother me but really, I dont care anymore, just as long as they bring in the trophies im happy.

Right now the only thing im hoping for is for the unbelievably gorgeous girl to call me back after I gave her my number at a club a couple of hours ago. Im so in love with her and I haven't heard her voice yet!

Just found an interesting rumour at tgcom.it

Cannavaro wants to return to Italy - but to Milan

http://www.tgcom.mediaset.it/controc...lo371798.shtml

Its all in Italian but its just saying how Milan are after a big-name striker in attack but now want to surprise us with a big-name in defence. Same old same old.

well... you hit the spot with that, i agree

btw, good luck with the girlie

I also found this interesting article in the acmilanclub.com site but it is in arabic. It is a very interesting read. Here is my translation:

Milan's Market, Truth and Fantasy

After all the promises, real offers, press releases, declarations of signing players and then denying it the next day, the Milan fans are being put in a hard situation. They are starting to lose their patience and trust in the team's management that have not moved at all this summer market as opposing to the other European giants.

Last season, the first of the many promises Galliani made was: "If Milan reached fourth place, and managed to reach the Athens final, and manage to win the European Championship, I promise you a very big strike in the transfer market"

Milan fans did not pay much attention to that comment, they were suffering some serious problems at that time. The team had just lost to AEK Athens in Athens, where the CL final is to be played, and therefore winning the CL was just an impossible dream for the Milan fans, BUT the devils of Milan managed to kick out Bayern Munich, conqueor Manchester United, and flew to Athens and beat Liverpool to win the Championship.

A short time after that, Adriano Galliani came out in a press conference confirmed Milan's desire to bring in a big-name striker, where he said "We are heading to Spain to get Etoo's services". At that point the Rossoneri fans started dreaming, and the CL win and the desire to have a fiery starting line-up has affected them and has blinded them and has made them wait long for the signings of the team. 2 months now and no official announcements, Milan's radar is still working and following this player and there is a month left and still the club has made no progress.

They say that Galliani and Cantamessa have headed to Barcelona where they have met Barcelona president Juan Laporta and have negotiated with him over Eto'o. The real question is were those negotiations really over Eto'o?

The situation for the Barca fans isn't comfortable. There is another player that rumours are still circulating about, he has all the advantages, starting with a contract with a huge amount, and ending with the desire to start a new adventure with a new team. AC Milan president dreams of seeing this player in a Rossoneri shirt, and it seems that the president's desire has moved on to the fans as well who would also love to see him at Milan. This player is obviously none other than Ronaldinho. Even though Laporta has denied selling him, his situation at Barcelona does not seem to be settle.

Galliani has returned to Italy again and has let Milan's negotiator in Spain Ernesto Bronzetti continue the negotiations with Barcelona. Milan is ready to offer anything Barcelona are about to ask, Milan right now have a vast amount of cash that they are ready to spend.

Berlusconi, as everyone knows, wants Ronaldinho and has released a lot of comments about it, one of them "We wish to see Ronaldinho in Milan, and will do everthing we can to get him", however the fans do not want a long and complicated transfer because this might take the management a long time and might end up being unsuccessful. One Milan fan was quoted saying "We are tired of waiting, it is time to enter the football market". Knowing Milan's management, we still have time to wait for, but the team's management must find itself in the next few remaining days of the market.
