Winter Mercato

But if that was the case why are Liverpool talking about sending in the legal eagles? That would not make any sense if they had no chance of getting him. Plus i've also read that he wants to move .... and then other reports that he wants to stay, so goodness knows

YES! I forgot those points. He is highly impulsive & rash in his tackling. Which at times makes him a liability.

Interesting headline, eh?
Berlu must realize people are getting nervous. Seems like Sheva's a no-go?

Bye-bye, Eto'o?

I hope they dont feel that fans want a signing just for the sake of it, fans want signings to improve the squad and for us to be competitive.

If its not - eto - ronaldinho or Sheva... i really hope its not baptista or another rubbish brazilian.

peters, though the transfer mkt isnt over, I will concede defeat with regard to our bet re R10 and Etoo.

If Berlu himself can make the strong definitive statements that he has, then it really means that we wont get them..but we will get someone.

from acmilan.com:

The President then also answered questions relative to the market, trying to clear things out:

“First of all we re-start with an extra Ronaldo and he is a great champion. At the moment we have not made any purchase because we believe that the accessibly players on the market are equal or even inferior to the ones we already have in the squad. If there will be a purchase, it will have to be Milan worthy purchase. We have two observed players, I hope that one of them can help us to improve our squad, therefore we shall see how the situation evolves.”

I think I have been saying this, with many others, for some time now...

I have to agree with Berlu here, (not 100%, as we could do with a better LB and a striker, but) in the essence of his statement.

I disagree....I really don't see Henry Walking into Barca's lineup...it's very strongly based on money....comming to think of it neither Klose or Toni would automatically be starters if Podolski is in ripping form....stop making excuses Warro

Bring them to Juve, Secco !!
Ah, who am i kidding, Maxi will never play for Juve and he'll probably never play for an Italian team while Banega will end up in Inter, to replace Vieira after 2 or 3 years !

Hey Dru , i'm offering you Aguero to Milan for Moralez and Banega to Juve. You're a smart man, i know you'll accept it

I'll gladly take it.....Argentina played a system in which most of the creativity was supplied by Moralez...this doesn't mean that Aguero can't do it on his own.....I've seen him....he also plays support striker for Athletico and does a great job for a teenager too.......it's sort of like the system brazil used playing Ronaldo in fornt of Rivaldo and Ronaldinho in WC 2002...Ronaldo could have done a lot of what R10 and Rivaldo were doing on his own...but it's more efficient to have a designated #10

..no need to insult people for their opinions BMW...he could have done worse.....like insult ronaldo or something

I am fully capable of taking constructive criticism about Dida, but saying that Storari is better than him is just ludicrous.

Milan offered 17m for Tiago and he chose Juve (Juve's offer was 2 or 3 millions lower). I doubt Juve offered higher wages to him than Milan did.
Don't tell me players don't care about starting place, dru !

Eto'o repetead for the 948323 time that he doesnt want to come, so hopefully we can move on and dont act like Real Madrid.

Give me a break dru...u r going from the sublime to the ridiculous if you think Henry isnt an automatic starter once fit for Barca...

I am willing to bet all my material posessions that he will start for Barca in every game, again, once fit...Rijkaard will have to switch his formation to include him, but who wouldnt?...well, maybe Carlo wouldnt ...but thats besides the point....or maybe it is the point..who knows..I am tired and hungry at this point, so before I miss my point, I am going to stop at this point.

Who says that he is going to be an auto-starter The only person I have seen Rijkaard not bench is Ronaldinho....but that's besides the point ...what I was trying to say is that Henry and Eto'o are nearly equal interms of class and ability..regardless of what you think Henry is going to have to earn his place.....similarly there are many players who Milan can buy who are equal or even slightly better in their respective positions....surely any player worth his salt would be ambitious to fight for his spot here......YOUR theory is ridiculous because it presupposes that there are no players out there worthy of displacing the ones we have currently

I never said that but it isn't the ONLY consideration

I agree baby but don't insult the kid just yet (you're forgetting I'm the other fan of the useless cowardly giant )
