Official: Vieri To Milan

The truth about Gila transfer is that if our club want him, he will be here. to hell with Juve, Chelsea and Inter. Gila does'nt want to go to england because he is not sure how long will it take him to adapt there, which in turn might cost him a ticket to Germany, that's 10 million euro extra rejected.

i hope this is the last Gila discussion on this thread.

PPL THERE IS MORE TO LIFE AND SOCCER WITHOUT GILARDINO.

we have managed to replace Van Basten, so Gila is no big deal.

he is welcome to come to Milan though Milan and I will survive without him.

I still don't think we are going to have more than 4 strikers next season, so maybe we have to forget Crespo and Gila.
Frankly, I really wanted Crespo to stay, he has shown his love to the shirt, I'm very sorry for him.

And so what happens when peoples guessing doesnt come true???? We blame Galliani and Berlusconi and ANcelotti like a bunch of spoilt brats.
All I am saying is that I'm not guessing one way or the other. He comes fine. He doesnt.... I'm not surprised. Can you say this???? I mean you havent given speculation.. you have given more like the false hope that he "is" coming.

agreed, you are spot on, someone make us Mods, we will solve sillly season prob here.

I am saying that if Milan wanted to sacrifice Gila for Crespo by pulling out of the "race" for Gila and thus making way for Chelsea, Crespo would be with Milan now. Reality is, Crespo is as far away from Milan as he has ever been. With the signing of Vieri, the chances that Crespo will play again for Milan are zero, while Gila is very close to becoming a Milan player now that Chelsea, Inter, Real have started looking for other solutions. As for Juve, they have never even held talks with Parma and never were part of any race to sign him - only the possible sale of Trez to Chelsea started these "rumours" Apart from that, there was never anything substatial in it.

completely agree with you, there are too many obstacles trying to obtain Gila. plus Berlu is at the G8.

Warro maybe we got Vieri to reduce the burden of losing Crespo while we Bid for Gila, you know Chelsea are playing games, maybe they catch one(Crespo) while we shake 2(Vieri, Gila) .

Whether you like it or not, that doesn't mean it isn't true. Don't forget that all mentally ill people say just that - I am not insane. Don't get angry, this was just an example, I am not trying to say that you are insane, just dangerously pessimistic.
As for the Vieri surprise - if we get Gila, he will be our first choice striker and one of two main forwards, along with Sheva. Gila will be the future of this club. As for getting Vieri - he is just a cheap way of fixing "holes" upfront and nothing more. He is someone who would be used more as a plan B striker and is unlikely to start many games for us. Vieri has always been one of my favourites, but let's be realistic - he is 32 yo, injury prone, and not in great shape either. I am sure that Milan took Vieri hoping to "rejuvanate" him - just like Crespo - but this is something that is far from certain and borders with the unlikely. For this, he is indeed a surprise signing because he is not a player with bright future behind him but a player, who, IF brough back in shape by Milan, may prove useful in the Serie A/CL campaign, but he will hardly be decisive in them, as would be Gila if he came to Milan.

False hope? That, is the only thing I disagree with Kui....its isnt our many positive postings about the Gila transfer that is the problem, its the Milan suits, who went as far as signing a pre-transfer agreement with the player, and now, seem to be bumbling about in the dark...when they have a lighter and candle in their pockets.

What I am taking from this is that Gila doesnt want to go to any other club but Milan, and Milan have aquired Mr "Disappear in a big match" aka Vieri as they see their hopes for Crespo diminishing.

This situation will only be resolved when Parma realise that they will have to sell him to Milan...or face a player who will strike or something of the sort...and no club wants to keep a player against their will...no sane club at any rate..

So, as we should come to expect in the "silly season" we just have to sit and wait on the outcome of deliberations...and I will continue to pray that Bobo doesnt turn out to be Bobo the clown, but returns to his 20+ goal per season average that made him a household name world wide.

Man are you the Obvious Police, what makes you think that most of us don't understand it? the only difference being some of us are willing to Love and Support our Club with or without Gila.

I am very happy that we have signed Vieri, obviously he has come here to win some trophies and enhance his chances to get into the World Cup, he most definately has taken a pay cut, he is a good addition to our already strong squad, I wonder if JDT will leave us now. and stop the stupid Gila thing.

it looks like crespo will leave - not JDT. JDT has pretty much resigned himself to being a simple off-the-bench player as he will be guaranteed a place in the Danish squad either way.

you also have point there, and when I agreed before with other post I was agreeing that the signing of Vieri doesn't mean that Gila isn't coming and it is wierd that other clubs have become disinterested, I was not agreeing that you were wrong because LORD KNOWS YOUR NEVER WRONG! . . . . . .

Many people said Crespo(not me0) was a Has Been, the same about Inzaghi(me included), but they made us eat our words, i have faith in Vieri, he has to succeed without any doubt for himself, the ticket to Germany is at Stake, all he might complain about is the playing time gets. Goals=Germany, every player wants to be there be it Messi or Vieri.

let's give him a chance. this is milan - not inter lol

Iv been away guys and I come back to this news.

I wonder if we signed him to trade with Parma for Gilardino aswel as some money of course in which case we may still get Crespo. If so we made money out of nothing and it was a masterful move by Galliani.

If hes he to stay though, it could be a blessing in disguise (For me at least). For ages now I have wanted a strike partner for Sheva who isnt bad with the ball himself and can attack defenders too. Hes not exactly what I had in mind ie. Adriano or Etto, but how hard would it have been to try and get either of those two. Hes been really off form for a while now, but at his age how do you keep up with Adriani and Martins. Unfortunately hes very injury prone and will definately be trying to compete for a place in the national side for the WC. Im not sure he will be too keen on being Gilardino's sub (If he comes) when they are in direct competition for that WC striker role. One plus point I can think of is that he seemed to have fallen out of Mancini's plans. This doesnt mean hes not good enough though. Look at Davids, the season before he was amazing for Barca, but never really got a proper chance for Mancini who preferred zanetti and cambiasso.

At least Vieri SCORED goals for Italy .. Del Piero did not score or contribute.

yes, I agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee with you, "giubba rossa"!

Vieri was the MOM, in San Siro, the night Juve won 6 to 1 (Boban).
Now Vieri is in a good condition, while Crespo wasn't past summer

But, first of all , Vieri comes from sphInter, as a free agent!

That's great!

Moratti's circus is really more powerful than prozac: Inter should be illegal!

we shall smoke them in a big chiloum once again

The rumours that Juve, once they sell Trez, will enter a bidding war with Milan are coming from pessimistic people who probably walk around with a cyanide pill in their pockets.

I think it COUNTS NOW the Ibra's affair, last summer, between Milan and Juve.

Come on, this time our dear bald has all my appreciation, because I feel Gila as ours.
