He added that right now, no player was available.

Let's prepare ourselves to see Galliani saying white one day and black the following day until the Winter mercato finally starts ...

HAHAHA very true..he confuses us and makes us have steam coming out the ears.. but he gets good prices (recently)

I don't understand the quote from Berlusconi " If we get a striker he will only be a great player"
I know he always speaks like that calling everyone champions.. but we don't need a champion. We need a guy like Matri, Huntelaar, Floccari, Borriello..type of player..

Then, we need to spend our $$$$ on a LB/RB and ACM!!!!

I don't have an issue with the 3 DM's considering Flamini can also get forward..

Eventually, as I've said in past posts... Milan need to buy Jucilei or a player like that who can offer more going forward...

I agree with you Prince is an excellent adding who can play in a lot of places....

Can we take back Boriello in January i don't think so... but he is doing great in Roma would be a very good back up for Imbra..

Allegri once said that the three best Italian youngsters are Paloschi, Poli, and Ranocchia. Knowing that Inter Merda has blocked the defender, maybe we could get the first two? together with Lazzari and Ganso. Of course, we will have to wait until the next summer for any of those to happen, I guess.

Maybe just Ganso for January. Is that too much to ask?

doubt it. We didn't want to let go Borriello. He wanted to leave, so it is pretty useless to even think about that possibility.

He would have been very useful though.

He can play on the team but as backup.

Yes, I know. But Flamini will 'compensate' it. But Gattuso and Abate on the right side makes our attacking clueless. Having Boateng there make it better for the right side. But having a creative midfielder there has impact not only for the right side of the team but also the midfield and attack .

Now we don't have the issue since Ibra scores every game. The problem would be if we are without Ibra. The real problem is against GENUINE big team. We haven't face big team except Madrid. Juve for now can be called big team, Inter with Benitez plus injuries either.

Boateng is not creative, lose balls often, made wrong mistakes easily and lack of tactical knowledge. He is HOWEVER important for us now due to our lack of creative players.

Yes, but it should be also creative one. We don't have creative player on the midfield. If we buy Ganso for example, Ganso has to fight himself to create chances. He should be supported by player who can play the game, not only moving forward.

Some news are saying Galliani will maybe go for Cassano as he will be a free player... As far as Im concerned, better to sign him and save money then to pay 10mln for Matri... Cassano is Cassano... But Milanello is Milanello...

My fingers are crossed for a player like Coentrao NOW, in winter, not in the summer... we need a class player like that to give us an extra push in quality for scudetto... I do not count on CL,. its impossivble with players like Pirlo, Seedorf, injured Pato, Dinho, Antonini etc...

Coentrao now, Ganso in the summer - 2 most important issues... For now, one forward, maybe Antonio, and Pato as a CF if Ibra cannot.

Well, I think if we were to take Cassano, we could forget Ganso: Cassano is able to play as an attacking midfielder, so a guy like him would be used as a striker to start while there are injuries and then would be used to replace Seedorf ... which would help Allegri to use the team the way he wants: either Pirlo or Seedorf, helped by two DM, and a creative midfielder in front of the trio.

But I'm not sure I want Cassano ... He seemed more mature, but the last episode showed he is still a "burned head".

Agreed. I don't know if Cassano is the answer. We need an ACM, a Forward (to replace Pippo) and a FB. In my opinion the backup CB and CM are 4th and 5th priorities.

Cassano seems to be more of Second Striker (we have Ibra and Robinho).
We need a true ACM & a Big Penalty Box Striker.
I don't know if Cassano is either.
Also, it seems Ronaldinho is gone in January. If so, and Ganso is bought, who will play ACM? Ganso won't be ready for months.

we dont need cassano

ganso,coentrao and caraciollo and we good .. only reason i say caraciolo is becus he could probably come relatively cheap.. or get paloschi back.
lol read this quote on another forum b4 the auxerre match lol..

Turn on the violins, the new Ac Milan is about to come on the pitch..

-John Cerio

cassano would be perfect , if we could get cassano we'll probally play 433 or 4231 or 4312 , cassano is huge tall strong a headcase but easily the best italian striker , or mario id take cassano instead of matri for 10 M , he would be used like totti was for italy in 2006 world cup or totti was used in as roma when he would play behind 2 strikers we easily would have one of the best attacks in the world now i still dont thinkso ,

Report: Rejection For Milan As Cagliari Say No To €12 Million Bid For Alessandro Matri
Milan told they can't have Cagliari's Alessandro Matri.

Milan have had a €12 million bid for striker Alessandro Matri rejected by Cagliari.

Rossoneri dealers were at the gates holding cash for Matri, seen as a replacement for Filippo Inzaghi, but the Sardinians were in no mood to yield.

Cagliari president Massimo Cellino saw the bid as fragile, and it was promptly rejected, according to Sky Sport Italia.

Despite flying high, potential weaknesses have been presented through Inzaghi's injury.

Milan are now likely to seize upon other opportunities. Parma's Alberto Paloschi could unify the Rossoneri's need to reinforce up front.

However, Milan CEO Adriano Galliani recently hinted the club had been thrown off the transfer yoke by their good form in Serie A and Champions League.

"We will stay as we are 95 percent in January," he told the press following their win over Auxerre on Tuesday.

has Matri valued 12m?...

Cassano is only good when the team revolves around him, when everything goes his way. That's why he excelled in Sampdoria until his recent outburst. But put him in a club with several other stars or bench him once and he will crack at the first pressure. And when he does, God knows what kind of rubbish coming out of his mouth. That's what happened in Roma, Madrid and eventually Sampdoria.

Big no!

Arrivano come un fulmine a ciel sereno le parole di Thiago Silva in merito al futuro in rossonero di Alessandro Nesta. Il difensore brasiliano, intervistato da Gaia Brunelli in esclusiva per Sportitalia, ha infatti ammesso che, secondo lui, quella attuale sarà l’ultima stagione del difensore romano con la maglia del Milan tatuata sulla pelle, maglia con la quale ha vinto tutto quello che c’era da vincere risultando, in ogni vittoria, uno dei pilastri fondamentali per la costruzione delle stesse. I problemi fisici alla schiena, la muscolatura non più di ferro e la carta d’identità che a giugno andrà verso i 35 anni potrebbero essere i motivi per i quali l’ex capitano della Lazio potrebbe decidere di non rinnovare il suo contratto con la società di via Turati ed il fatto che Galliani non lo abbia convocato per ridiscutere i termini di un nuovo accordo fa si che si vengano a mettere insieme i tasselli di un puzzle impensabile fino a qualche ora fa. Il mezzo autogol di Thiago Silva però va preso con le pinze perché il brasiliano utilizza il condizionale affermando: “Mi dispiace molto se a fine stagione ci lascia". Un “se” dietro al quale si cela il futuro della coppia centrale più forte del mondo.
