Or Galliani will go up to the press and claim that Abbiati has come a long way, and is the best buy Milan had for the summer...

I hope Berlusconi Jr. do something and wont let Gallini ruin the transfers.

Is it only me or does anybody else think we might land Heurelho Gomes, who simply not any different than Dida? Great saves here and there but also makes too many msitakes for his own good

too bad we allowed lloris slip....

galliani might not have assured him the no.1 keepr status

Milan have 2 GK that are worth to compete with him. They are Kalac and Dida. We know how Dida has been in this year. Kalac is not a super goalie as he has only made his mark this season. What Kalac's done this year is good (not great) but a younger good GK should be able to beat him. And plus Kalac is almost 36 yo.

So, Llioris has bright future in Milan if he has the spirit to fight for a spot. It's about character. Is he a champion or not?

So, back to topic, there are still many options for our GK (but please NO ABBIATI!) : Frey, Boruc, Amelia etc.

I don't think he was affraid of competition since kalac and dida are so old, we shouldn't forget that Lyon is pretty rich and that it's the best club in France, his native country so he could probably earn as much there as he could here, he got a 5 year deal aswell what shows they really believe in him maybe we didn't offer so much for so long etc...
So why would he bother and take a risk of joining a foreign country and league if you have the opportunity to sign closer at home at a prestigeous club. Milan is a bigger name than Lyon but they play CL (and will play it for the next five years for sure, we on the other hand are on crossroads).
You could blame him for a lack of ambition in our point of view but people could also think he's smart building up his carreer one step at the time...

Gourcuff' story ... umh umh, thanks for this failure !!

No, you cant compare big club like Milan, Real, Barca to Lyon. Lyon or French league is not like English, Spanish or Italian league. It shows how his ambition is if he's satisfied to join Lyon.

And I doubt, he could earn as much as Milan's offer (if indeed Milan offered him a contract). The lowest wage in Milan could be the middle wage in Lyon. The middle wage in Milan could be the highest wage in Lyon.

I am beginning to like JR and I think he will try to bring in youth to the team.

Guys like Gomez(lucky for us Bayern already have Toni and Klose)
or Podolski(if he is going to end up in Squrs, MIlan should get him)
or Zapata
or Vargas....

But then again, is he in charge yet??

I really think your idea of wage structure could be wrong.
Beside, he is FRENCH and he probably grew up cheering for Lyon, give him a break.

I'm probably stupid but ... who is JR ????

Lyon is not a big club since enough time for people to grow up cheering this club ... 7th time they are champions this year (shows Ligue 1 level), but before, they were nothing or almost !! lol

Furthermore, their image isn't that good in France, Marseille or even Paris these last few years (not nowadays anyway) have a better image because they have a past in European competitions, Lyon doesn't.

JR means Berlu Jr.

As for Lyon, like you said, they are only good recently, but Lloris grew up(from 13-14) watching Lyon dominates in France. It is very hard not to join them.

Lyon was really good this year and may be even better next year. (depending what happens in the transfer market)

As we all know they were knocked out my this years CL winners and not by much. They are quickly reaching status of serious contenders for the CL. And if they continue attracting and signing players of high qualilty and calibre they will be there sooner rather than later.

I'm a big of a Milan fan as anyone in here, but I'm not going to say that because a player chooses Lyon rather than Milan he's not Milan material and that he is lacking in ambition.

Some players choose inferior teams as they feel they can help it to take the next big step forward.
