Milan started his talks with De Assis two years ago. So, i don't trust you.

GIO knows all

i think it'll be something like...

oddo nesta kaladze zambro

gattuso pirlo seedorf (ambro/flamini)

dinho kaka

borriello

and i think when pato comes in we'll see kaka or dinho out. we will rarely see seedorf in trequarista (which i hope we dont) unless we go into 4-3-1-2. seedorf doesnt run enough t play uptop i prefer him sit in midfield tackle, make smart passes, push up when needed like he used to and against napoli

i dont think carlo will ply w/ 4 players w/o defensive assignments. ronaldinho if pushed back will be ineffective... where as clarence wont.

i hope to god borriello does what people think he can uptop. its not an easy position, but vital to sucess

for us, 'biancoscudati', he was a great player. A fantastic blues guitar man, always happy.
We remember Sir Alexy, because that season we were able to beat Milan 2 to nothing at home and with a incredible free shoot by Michael Creek we won at Delle Alpi vs. Juve - 1 to a miserable 0. hi Tony

Cool, gino, thanks for the info, i always wanted to know more about his time in italy; i know he had a pretty decent time there, but then came back because MLS was starting up. Shame, I think he could've been a real cult legend!

Any reaction from Inter boards?
I'm checking the italian Juve and Roma boards...LOL

Ronaldinho to Milan - Negotiation marathon on Ronaldinho of 15.VII.2008

Four hours before the player had landed at the "El Prat" airport of Barcelona. While Roberto held the first talks of the day with Milan vice president Adriano Galliani and Milan transfer adviser Ernesto Bronzetti at the Juan Carlos I hotel, Ronaldinho spend some time in his Porsche Cayenne.

After the meeting with Barcelona, the two Brazilians returned to the Juan Carlos I hotel. Ronaldinho leaves after half an hour. Roberto and the Milan representatives keep talking for some more hours.

With a meeting between Milan and Barcelona cancelled, the Italians conclude their day with a dinner at the Casa Jacinto restaurant. They are there joined by Daniel Fonseca, the agent of Barcelona player Mart�n C�ceres.

Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that at that moment the situation is this: Manchester City offering "27+5", Milan offering "15+5", Ronaldinho preferring Milan, Barcelona willing to accept the Milan offer if they raise it to "20+5". Madrid sports tabloid Marca claims that Barcelona is asking "25+5". Italian sports paper La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Milan offers "15+0", having raised that from the initial "10+0".

This morning the mini-meetings continue. Roberto tries to convince Milan to raise their bid. Txiki talks with Galliani. Manchester City put a better offer on the table. Sport claims that City raises its bid to "30+2".

At 1:30 pm there's a high level meeting scheduled at the Via Veneto restaurant. Galliani and Bronzetti meet with Roberto and with Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who is assisted by Txiki, Sanlleh� and Barcelona board member Rafael Yuste, for a two-hour dinner.

Galliani and Bronzetti leave the table and return to the Juan Carlos I hotel to talk with Milan strong man and Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. Sport claims that they get the authorization to raise their bid to 20 million euro. The two go back to the restaurant.

After the final conclusion of the dinner, Galliani and Bronzetti meet with Roberto and financial advisers of the player in their hotel. Roberto goes to the Camp Nou for further talks with Yuste, Txiki, Sanlleh� and two club lawyers. After one hour he returns to the Juan Carlos I hotal.

In Italy they then think it's a deal. La Gazzetta dello Sport says that the transfer price is "18,5+1,5". Galliani will go to the Camp Nou to finalize the last details with Laporta, Ronaldinho will fly tonight to Milan and will be presented tomorrow

he is a legend in Padova, because he got charisma and chemestry, fundamental thing for a small team as it was padova. By the way, in that team played peopele like maniero, creek, bonaiuti, galderisi, vlaovich, franceschini.

in the precedent year, padova had sold Del Piero Di Livio and Albertini.

Times are changed
