Probably, because i used this page and we know every fool can put info there :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...nsfers_2007-08

But you're right about Muntari, as is wikipedia. I didn't see it's pounds, not euro

Tony ,are you sure about Luca Tony?
I had the impression it was around 20mil.

Most probably I'm getting old and my memory system suffered from a short circuit.

Yes, it was 11m euro, not 20m.
That's the figure reported in every media when Toni was sold

Thanks tony for your reply!!


Cannavaro Complimenti al Milan, Pato un grande acquisto

20:08 del 03 agosto

Fabio Cannavaro, difensore del Real Madrid, si complimenta con il Milan per l'acquisto di Alexandre Pato. ''Complimenti al Milan perchè ha fatto un grande acquisto - dichiara -. E' un giocatore giovane, con grandi prospettive". Secondo il capitano della nazionale è un colpo che può rilanciare il mercato italiano: ''Negli ultimi tempi l'Italia stava perdendo un pò di fascino ed il fatto che questi giocatori accettino società come il Milan fa piacere''.

Cannavaro compliments Milan, Pato's signing is a great deal!!!!

This is just a taster for the night. Happy dreams guys.

maybe another reason why Canna is speaking well about pato is because they will soon be teammates

That's the reason why I posted, so many members will start dreaming about Canna.

It will be interesting to see what develops post Pato....which we can abbreviate as pP.

Now, pP, the players we are likely to target would be a CD and a R or L Back....I would, as would many here, opt for Zambrotta and Cannavaro...the former has recently hit out at Barca´s preseason, while the latter has just complimented us on a purchase...coincidences, or a plan by the players to indicate some level of interest in leaving their respective clubs?

Very farfetched for me to conclude anything but coincidence...but pP, those players would for me, complete the mercato for us.

as and marca don't know that we have signed Pato yesterday evening. maybe they r still hoping that Real will sign him!! poor spaniards!!!

As I see it, we really need a 4th striker. With Ronaldo and Pippo rather injury prone, we are left with only Gilardino....
I do not expect we will sign further players this summer - besides a striker of course.

Players bought by Italian teams :

1. Alexandre Pato 22m euro (bought by Milan)
2. Christian Chivu 16m euro ( Inter)
3. Tiago Mendes 13m euro ( Juve)
4. Vincenzo Iaquinta 11.3m euro (Juve)
5. Jorge Andrade 10m euro (Juve)
6. Sergio Almiron 9m euro (Juve)
7. Mirko Vucinic 7.5m euro (Roma)

1. Rolando Bianchi 13.2m euro ( from Reggina to ManCity)
2. Luca Toni 11m euro ( from Fiorentina to Bayern)
3. Cristiano Lucarelli 8m euro ( from Livorno to Shakhtar Donieck)
4. Sulley Muntari 7m euro ( from Udinese to Portsmouth)
5. Fabio Grosso 7m euro ( from Inter to Lyon)

We paid 22 mil for Pato!!?? Wasn't his released clause somewhere near 15 mil ? Or is that the pounds/Euro mixup affecting me.

no, the release clause was 14.7 mil euros but Milan has reportedly paid around 7.5 mil to Pato and his agent like a sign-on bonus, I guess and this make the total cost of the transfer so far 22 mil euros ... at least that's what were the figures mentioned a little before the deal was made official and a little after that.
The figure has not been officially confirmed and probably will never be.

i wonder if milan met with real to discuss Cassano + Cannavaro..

I wonder aswell if ronaldos and inzaghis injury are a sign of things to come.

I wonder why they call you b.i.t.c.h.

I don't know how realistic your wishes, as well as the wishes of most of the members in Juventuz.com, are to see Cannavaro in Milan/Juve next year.

One thing is that Schuster already said who are the players he's not counting on and Cannavaro isn't among them. I believe Schuster even said he counts on Canna to lead the defense and Canna himself said he's not coming back to Italy this year.
Real does have too many defenders but Schuster already said he won't count on Salgado and Helguera ( Helguera already left for Valencia, btw).
If Schuster doesn't want Salgado it means only that he already has 2 RB's . One of them is Cicinho and the other one is the one who'll actually play RB for most of the season - Sergio Ramos. This also means that we can't count Ramos as one of the CD's who'll fight for one of two places in center defense.
This way only 3 players are left in CD : Cannavaro, Pepe and Metzelder
Calderon moaned so much about Capello wanting defenders and he said he won't bring anymore defenders.
If they sell Canna they'll be left with Pepe (who's a sure starter) and Metzelder who is injury prone.

I really see no space for selling Cannavaro especially after Calderon said no more defenders will be bought !


Another thing, considering Milan, is that they'll find it even harder to take away from Real a player that is needed.
Milan says NO all the time for Kaka, Milan have beaten Real in the fight for Pato, Milan is rejecting to buy Baptista and want him only on loan. They've given you Ronaldo for almost no money etc etc etc
Maybe they are stupid but they must have some pride left. I don't think Calderon and Mijatovic will like to be the fools and losers again and give you Cannavaro. With Ronaldo it was different and it may be with Cassano , because Real doesn't actually need them.
But with Cannavaro it is another story.

Imo, Canna is staying in Real and all Milan and Juve fans can do this year is dream about signing him.

If Canna returns to Serie A ,I personally, can only imagine him playing for one team and that's Juventus.



Any new rumours?
Now that I have had the taste of an important signing for Milan I want more!!
