Winter Mercato 2011

So you guys want a WC striker for 4th sport? We can get it, a former WC striker.

We have to be realistic, the player will play as 4th. striker which means he has to accept to sit on the bench often to very often. We can only get player in Jan except free transfer one which means Pato should be able to play in that time. If Pato, Ibra and Robinho is fit, 4th striker won't get much chance.

Matri and Lazzari would be enough for me this winter ... We would have a complete striker who scores goals (5 goals in Serie A) despite not being at his best, especially when he plays alongside Acquafresca (they are very similar in the way they play) and a good midfielder. They would complete our roster. Better, these two guys were coached by Allegri in Cagliari.

And about Matri, he would be a perfect replacement for Ibrahimovic, maybe better than Inzaghi, not because he's a better goalscorer (who is better than Inzaghi at goalscoring ?!), but because he is an overall good striker, quite physical ...

Ganso is the bonus player I don't expect, but if it happens, we'll be strong, very strong !! And Ronaldinho will be no more needed (as Allegri seems to want a balanced team, he won't use Ronaldinho anymore I think, and that's maybe a way to make understand to the management that they don't need to renew his contract, they should try to sell him this winter) ...

A former WC striker who's willing to accept to be benched most (if not all) of the time? Hmm, let me think. Hernan Crespo anyone? Or should we take a certain fat man from Brasil league? Just kidding though, kinda...

balotelli+ibrahimovic in the club = controversy in press conference

Sky Sports 24 say we're still heavily interested in Ganso, and are monitoring his situation in Santos.

Also, the Portuguese press are saying we're preparing to offer 22.5m euros for Coentrao, who has a buy out clause for 30m.

For me, Ganso is not only a dream signing for us, but also very important as right now Seedorf carries a lot of responsibility for a 34 yr old. I'm also unconvinced in Dinho in Allegri's set up and only really see him being used against smaller teams where he can look to be creative without having too many other responsibilities.

I'd also look into Lazzari and Poli. Two interesting young Italian midfielders that can add depth to our squad and possibly develop into very good players. Given Ambro, Rino, Pirlo and Seedorf are all over 30 and not too far from ending their contracts, we need to seriously look into getting midfielders to replace them.

January

Matri
Ganso
Coentrao

Then in June, beat Real Madrid in Champions League Final and hold up 3 fingers in Mourinho's face

If we continue with a midfield that has more running than finese then the forward we need has to be able to create more than score so needs to be creatiev and technical with a decent physical set-up too. Maybe we should get Zigoni back from Genoa and give him the 4th spot as he has it that type of player, but I still think we need another mid and wb at least to stop oddo and janku making any more appearances.

What concern me about former WC striker is the wage. Plus really difficult to find a good one who accept to sit on the bench.

Henric Larson or Ruud Van Nistelrooy!!!!!

To good to be true especially for Coentrao. We pay very rarely huge sum for defender and yet for the unknown one. He could be great in WC but he is not yet establishing himself as world class defender which makes quite difficult for us to sign him regarding our hesitant for expensive defender. Two seasons ago we declined to sign Chisoko and gave 'teeth' factor as the reason to reject buying expensive defender.

About Ganso, now is the best time for Milan just like Gallaini said to Bale's case. It's true that there will be risk signing an injured player but the player himself will have a medical test with Milan. The club doctors can evaluate his current condition if it is only a normal injury or a very bad injury that could make him unable to show his actual ability and to develop his potential.

No disrespect towards the players, do they still play football (have contract with professional club)?

Ruud Van Nistelrooy can play, see Raul f.e...

Matri

Agree! david ruiz and poli for next summer.

Fantasy signing: not coentrao but Aly sissoko and bale; or lazzari and bale,then we remold lazzari to a left fullback just like what we did to abate.I just love bale' pace and cross so much.

am i the only one here who would choose coentrao over any fullback ?
well newais ganso and coentrao and even like di natale would be good, inzaghi replacement, r80 replacement and oddo/bonera/janku replacement.

Coentrao is a HUUUGE improvement on what we have at Fullback. PERIOD.

This many rumours can be a good thing as I think it indicates Milan will definately be buying in January. Hope at least two of the current one's end up to be true (Contrao and Ganso).
