I think Galiani might have even said that Ronnie will go to Man City cause Barca ask too much and we can't match the 30 Million Man City is offering.

It's not looking good at all.

If this is true what a let down after a two year build up.

If Dinho does not come then our management should all resign.

Let's wait and see though.

do you think that Galliani was just THEATRICAL "with a dark face and did not say a word" just to save Laporta from Barca fans and maybe the deal could be formalised in the evening but without specifying for how many millions ??!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong...

And you can't force Ronaldinho to go to a club he doesn't want to go. That simple. It doesn't matter if Man City was offering 100 million. It's ridiculous to think that this is over and he won't be coming. How can any of you say that?

Ronaldinho already admits he wants Milan and only Milan.

I think with Article 17 the player has to tell his club 15 days after the close of the season his intentions to leave the club.

I don't know if Ronnie did this?

Correct me if I'm wrong people.

I frankly don't know what you're getting at. Ronaldinho can't stay at a club he doesn't want to be at, and he won't be sold one he doesn't want to play for.

This is irritating.

Why would Ronaldinho want to go to Man City? Answer that one. He's not about money.

All I know is that Man City is making this extremely difficult to conclude. Barca was smart to give R10 72 hours to marinate on it....cause TONZ can happen in 3 days.

How is Man City making the task difficult to conclude? Ronaldinho doesn't want to go there. That's been established.

Giancarlo, I like you man, but you’re crazy.

The modern footballer is all about money. Make no mistake about it, if Milan were paying him a modest wage he would not come here. Instead we’re paying him 6.5 million a season + image rights I think.

Let’s not deify him just yet. He is no Damiano Tommasi.

Article 17 may not be an option if Ronnie didn't "offcially" tell Barca he wanted to leave the Club at the most 15 days after the season concluded.

As to your question I can't answer it...I'm a Milan Fan.

It's just as irritating to me and just about every Milan Fan that wants to see
R10 here. Just be patient and we'll see what management can do.

They've been down this road before and been successful...this Man City is a different kinda beast...but now you gotta practice some of that faith you preach & have in management GianCarlo.

Gazzetta: Milan-Ronaldinho is done. Some details are missing.

Oh I'm crazy alright... crazy for this team.

But it isn't all about money... Ronaldinho could get paid more elsewhere... if it was all about money he'd be in LA right now. He just wants to play some football.

I'll admit he's no Raul Tamudo (the most loyal player I've ever seen for any club)... but he's not a David Beckham either.

I just want to see the best for the team, and I'll be very angry if this deal fails. But I feel that Ronaldinho himself will do a lot of pushing. I just want to see the best for Milan, that's all. Sometimes I defend management quite vehemently, and I hope that they succeed in getting him here ASAP.

Adriano Galliani has just reached Joan Laporta. The vice-president of Milan would decide: Milan intends to close immediately with Barça for Ronaldinho turnover of 20 million euros

It's true Giancarlo you are one of the most loyal/passionate Milanista...if you were Galliani our lineup would have included Grosso, Sanctroce (bad spelling), Quags, Toni, Aguero Schweinsteiger, Fabregas,Alves, Aguero and Eto'o (sadly you'll never buy Quaresma ) Coming to think of it....I want YOU to VP after Galliani

I think you're right.
