I think its a conspiracy as no captain has remained at the team for a very long time e.g Viera, Henry so maybe he wants Gallas to go, dont blame him really. Doubt Silva will go to Juventus as I heard Valencia tabled a pretty big offer last week and it got rejected straight away. Chelsea wont sell Diara, not to a rival anyway so it is more likel he will end up in a smaller team.

If the reports are true linking Rosicky to Milan then I think he is the correct player to replace Kaka when Kakas rested, however im not sure if he will be ready to sit on the bench. The bad point about him is that he gets injured more regularly, then again the PL is a pretty physical league so a change may make him a better player. The r10 situation looks simple to me, r10's brother will do whatever he can to improve his brothers contract (thats why he was talking like Barca are the best team in the world) if it fails and they wont renew his contract then they will sell him to us. Btw that news about Milan offering 40 Million pounds, is that true?

since its been kind of a slow day then i guess we can chat about other things for a bit

hey warro, where do you suggest i go on my next spring break..i went to cuba and cancun so far, but now i want something else.. i hear dominican is just a worse version of cuba.. panama i hear is just far too crowded.. what i have on my mind is Rio, Caribbean cruise (not for young ppl right?), south beach, miami.. nothing concrete yet, but if me and my group dont decide anything by x-mas, then we might go to Europe and watch Milan's champions league 1st game in the knock-out round (if we make it :P).. i do prefer a summer destination somewhere in the Americas though.. i need your suggestions!

Yes, the Italians got it wrong. Gilberto will only be a vice-captain.

It's not of much importance, really. It's important that he'll most probably stay in Arsenal and rumors about him leaving for Juve will now stop

Hitmanq do you ever stay in one place? All I ever hear from you is going from one place to another lol.

AC Milan turn to Man City striker Corradi
tribalfooball.com - August 09, 2007

Manchester City striker Bernardo Corradi is a shock target for AC Milan.

Corradi's future at City remains clouded, despite a promising preseason under new manager Sven Goran Eriksson.

Corriere dello Sport says Milan are eyeing Corradi as they seek cover for Ronaldo and Alberto Gilardino in attack for the new season.


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

Funny thing is I remember Braida describing Corradi as a "luxury" 3 years ago. I guess here is our Mr. X guys, who needs Dinho?

My younger brother used to work on a cruise ship for 6 years and he was always talking about Aruba as a paradise on earth.
But he was visiting all those places for mostly 3-4 hours per day and he didn't get to see how good the night life is.

haha, well, lemme tell you about me.. i am a kuwaiti national, that has been living in Montreal for the past 3 years (for university).. i do mechanical engineering and i start my fourth year this fall.. travelling is a passion of mine, i love to see the world.. other than my plan for spring break, i have a nice idea to go see my 3rd Milan game, but this time all the way in Tokyo, Milan - Boca Juniors

and ya alotta ppl call me hitmannq.. its actually just hitman.. the Q8 stands for Kuwait, if you say Q-8 it sounds like 'Kuwait'

and btw, did anyone know we have a Milan club in Canada?? lol!! im driving down to Toronto in two weeks and there is a Milan club in Brampton.. has anyone visited it yet? Is there anything cool in it? I know Rino Gattuso took the World Cup there a month ago..

hitmann....I would suggest JA...but then you prob would never leave!! (And we would be forced to deport you )

Hmm..the cruise is definately for older people, and/or people with kids...

Rio carnival in Brazil is off the chain (or so I have heard/read)..and the T&T carnival is also very nice...

I think the best thing would be for u to PM me the dates you plan to travel, then I can make some better suggestions...

South Beach has a lot of stuck up model types...but if u flash the cash, they will have a sudden "personality transplant" and become malleable to the slightest pressure...a nice place to visit, but could get boring after a day or two...nothing much to do or see...again, depends on what u r looking for.

As a mod, I have to be responsible, and keep threads on-topic... so PM me, and we will discuss this some more...or open a thread in the members forum, and we can talk more there.

Jamaica is very nice (I only take ca$sh Warro ) it has some of the best hotels, beautiful beaches and the women are fairly nice. Next up is Barbados which is mainly for tourists....If you're comming to Trinidad and Tobago make sure you have a good tour guide or else you can spend all your time in Tobago with white sand beaches, Nylon pools snorkeling jet skii'ing the hottest women are from Trinidad though

Cheque is in the mail dru...opps...I mean the money order

P.S.: again , i hope milan will be in same group with steaua buc. in CL, so my idols will come in Bucharest.

The question is which team you will support, because i have said that if in the past PAOK will face Milan i will be fanatically with PAOK .

God I hope not....

I have some transfer news for you i starting making steps without my stics 3 days ago.
i pain after walking a lot and i still crawl my injured leg a little bit but as far PAOK don't need a LB, i will take the place of Janku....

No one mentioned yesterday's transfer of Craig Gordon ?

They all say he's the next Buffon or Cech. Didn't watch him at all to give my opinion but whoever saw him said the kid was brilliant.
And now he was transfered from Hearts (Scotland) to the "bestest" league in the world for an EPL record for a goalkeeper - £9 milion ( 13.2 m euro).

And the team that bought him is Sunderland

Sunderland will pay £7m now and £2 m based on appearances.

This makes Gordon the third most expensive goalkeeper of all time, behind the two best Italian keepers of the last 10 years, Buffon and Peruzzi :

1. Gianluigi Buffon £32m Parma to Juventus, 2001

2. Angelo Peruzzi £10.5m Juventus to Internazionale, 1999

3. Craig Gordon £9m Hearts to Sunderland, 2007

4. Fabien Barthez £7.8m, Monaco to Man Utd, 2000

5. Gianluca Pagliuca £7.5m, Sampdoria to Inter, 1994

6. Peter Cech £7m Rennes to Chelsea, 2004

7. Chris Kirkland £6m Coventry to Liverpool, 2001

8. Richard Wright £6m Ipswich to Arsenal, 2001

9. Luca Marchegiani £6m, Torino to Lazio, July 1993

10.Jose Reina £6m Villarreal to Liverpool, 2005
