PRESS SURVEY - GILARDINO: 'Great esteem between Milan and I'
6/20/2005
MILAN - Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport focus on Alberto Gilardino. He said: 'There is a great esteem between Milan and I, that is the most important thing. I hope everything goes on well and soon. Tomorrow, or at least on Wednesday, I'll leave for my summer vacation, and I would like to do it knowing the club where I will play for next season. But if I have to wait a little bit more, I'll bring my mobile with me... I thank Carlo Ancelotti for the good words he had for me, but my consideration for Milan goes beyond the coach's words. I also like the organisation at the club, the staff and the coach, a wonderful man, as [Andrea] Pirlo and [Rino] Gattuso told me during the National team camps. It is difficult not to get involved at Milan. There are plenty of stars, Sheva, Maldini, Gattuso, Pirlo... Whoever you mention you don't make mistakes.'

"Now verily I say to all those non believers: Oh ye of little faith"

Parma striker Alberto Gilardino will sign for Milan this summer, says Rossoneri Vice-president Paolo Berlusconi.

The latter, brother of owner Silvio Berlusconi, has publicly told fans to expect the arrival of the Italian international. "I think we will be able to give ourselves this gift," he stated.

Gilardino has been linked with a move to the Rossoneri for some time even if talks over his transfer were delayed by Parma’s survival play-off.

But negotiations will now resume after Gilardino’s goal helped Parma beat Bologna on Saturday, thus ensuring their Serie A status.

"It was only right to not disturb the player before Parma’s last game," added Berlusconi. "We’ll now let our friend Adriano Galliani get to work.

"However, let us not forget that all of these presents are concluded with the signature of our President (Silvio Berlusconi) who puts up the money."

Milan are set to meet with Parma officials on Wednesday in an attempt to agree a fee, especially as they have reportedly already agreed personal terms with the striker.

The Stadio Tardini outfit initially valued the former Verona player at a massive £35m but that figure has since been reduced.

Milan are understood to have had an £18m bid rejected and they will up their offer to around £23m.

The San Siro giants will be keen to wrap up the deal as soon as possible given that Chelsea, Inter and Juventus are also monitoring the situation.

aren't we askin a bit much from chelsea?

have crespo for free while they pay a large sum for kaladze...then there's gila as well.
is galliani that good!

Hello Everyone!!
This is my first post in 2005, I want to share you all a good news, my second daughter was born 5 days ago, a cute one. Meanwhile, I haven't seen any italian serie A match for the last 6 months due to internal problems with the tv contract. What an inconvenience.
I would like to make a comment about Milan's performance last season;
Milan failed to grab any title, if you ask me how could that be...well, these are
some possibilities answers:
1. Ancelotti once said he wanted Stam and Crespo in his squad, this season
has them both. But he once said that when he manage Juve, not Milan.
I can agree the signing of Stam instead of his age, he is a worldclass
Defender and is a great alternative player to cover Maldini.
And Crespo, I won't put too much comment for him, Just glad to see the
teamwork displayed between Sheva and Crespo in their Champion Final
match against Liverpool.
2. Some of our players are more and more predictable, the fact is when you
mark Kaka tightly, and aware of Pirlo's movement.... you can tell the result.
3. Juventus at the same time get the perfect coach at the perfect time.
( Should I mention ' also get great players such as Emerson and Canna
varo? '. I'm sure most of you are playing football manager games such as
CM or FIFA Football Manager, and if you control a big-rich club, would you
swap your star player ( Cannavaro ) to your own rival? Well, Some idiots
in this world still do )
Juve under Capello is a new Juve and with a new playing style, they were
almost unstoppable, at least for this season.
4. Several mediocre serie A clubs made a big surprise this season.
And Milan often fall to their victim.

These points lead us to ' Who should we sign for next season '
so let me divide it into two posts.

Gilardino? now try to think more about it...
do we really need a striker?
Yeah, Gila is good, a great striker, a fearsome goalscorrer.
Is that the main problem we have this season?
Or " because he is good, we must sign him!! " ?
You must all realize by signing Gila we must sell or loan at least one striker
we currently have.
But I think Milan will sign him whatsoever, Gila doesn't want to play outside
Italy, and he has stated that he wants to play for Milan. He is famous, he
is Italian Jewel, so Milan WILL sign him.

My only concern is Juve's manuever.
Juve got Mutu as a swap card, Juve is always the Juve I know, always
cleverly sneaky when it comes about transfer season.
' No we don't want him ' but by next week you've seen the player mentioned
arrive at Turin for a press confrence with Juve's official

About other possible transfer for Milan?
as we already know, securing the service of Bonera or chivu would be
a great move.
I'm sure Milan will surprise us in this transfer season, can't wait till that happen.

Forza!!

wb syn shevaan

also congratulations on your newborn

Congrats on your new addition...I have been too tired to remember to post that I too have a new arrival, Don Carlos Wayne Wilson, was born June 10th at 9pm Jamaica time (which means a day or so late)!

I'm thankful for your congratulations Warro Bantan and AC Milan 1983.
Wayne Wilson is a good name, Bantan. anyway, I name my daughter
Glaetcher Hana ( not a common name for Asian people ).

really .. congrats syn shevaan ...
and i reallty know where ciumbuleuit is !!!
Glaetcher Hana is really not common for Asian people ... the common name for Asian People maybe "Neneng Gilardino" ... just kidding ...:

so anyone has the lattest news of Gilardino ???

it's make me headache !!!

From what i've read on calciomercato.com....

It seems that we're gonna try to lure Caracciolo, to be an addition in Gilardino race. Parma are very much interested in Andrea to replace Alberto.....Andrea worth 8 million euro. I guess with 23 mil Euro + Andrea Caracciolo + a loan of player Gila will be ours in a day or two....

IN the mean time, Boriello is confirmed joining Samp on loan. It means one spot in a striker role for Gilardino and.....
The possibility of Fabio Bazzani coming...to replace Hernan Crespo. He will come in cheap and i guess much less on the term of salary....

Reconquistiamola!!!

Parma open Gilardino auction Tuesday 21 June, 2005

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

Parma have played down widespread reports that Alberto Gilardino will definitely be sold to Milan this summer.

Some stories in the peninsula have even claimed that the striker could complete his move on Wednesday.

But Luca Baraldi, Parma’s chief operating officer, has insisted that nothing has yet been decided regarding Gilardino’s next destination.

"I can exclude that the Gilardino transfer will be completed tomorrow," Baraldi told the media. "Milan are interested in him but so too are a host of other clubs.

"Up until Saturday we were concentrating on surviving relegation, we will now think about the transfer market."

Chelsea, Real Madrid, Juventus and Inter are other teams who are interested in the £25m-rated international.

The Gialloblu have been linked with Brescia’s Andrea Caracciolo today as Gilardino’s replacement, but Baraldi again stalled.

"Caracciolo is an excellent player but Parma will firstly need to look at the finances involved," he added.

The Tardini outfit are also looking for a new Coach but there is a chance that Pietro Carmignani may remain.

"We will look at the coaching situation this week," he added. "I personally think that Carmignani has done enough this season to be confirmed in the job."

Carmignani replaced Silvio Baldini during the last campaign, keeping the club in the top-flight after a survival play-off win against Bologna.


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

Seems like market posturing by Parma. Ofcourse we already know that there are many suitors for Gilardino. This is just a ploy to get the price up.

Think about this.

If Gila has stated that he wants to move to Milan and remain in Italy then already Chelsea and Real are his second choice after Juve, Inter and us.

So then:

Juve: If they sign Gila they will give up Cassano and I think they need Cassano more. Furthermore, I don't think they have ever expressed interest in Gila.

Inter: Well, if Gila goes there he is touched in the head

Milan- He has stated his desire to come here, Milan can offer the money, we need a young striker and if we are aware of that I am sure the Milanello contingent are as well, Berlusconi (via brother) has spoken. Also, the Crespo deal has stalled so maybe negotiations for Gila are reaching completion.

So...folks let's keep our hopes up, but if he does not come then don't forget that we have a very competitive team as is.

... mmm ...

I hope this not the second Canna case ...
