One more thing, why do some of you still hope the Rossi thing is not a hack. Maybe it was not but it was planned by the MGT to get fans excited.

Doesn't help when people post any transfer news not including Milan.

There is no justification for not spending money on Milan from berlu other than the possibility that he is preparing to sell. I hope it happens soon, so him, his lap dog, and his entourage can stop fking up Milan once and for all.

I second that. I thought it's been suggested by some mods (?) and other members here that it'll be better if the link alone is posted, not the entire article.

About the recent issues, much as I like Leo's going out to the press saying we need more than just young players, somehow I share Warro's sentiment here. I mentally turned to SILENT-mode regarding our snail-paced mercato so far. Never have I been so sick of or distrust B&G in my 21 year of supporting Milan.

I'm ready when the worst happens, but when the season starts, I'll support Milan with all my heart just the same.

Ancelotti and Leo wouldn't wield any more or less power really, just that Carlo was given players back in times when Milan were prepared to spend. Things have changed globally a lot in the last year or two and that's what's stopping Berlu from spending now.

Leo has shown so far as a manager that he's not soft. Players have said his training is more disciplined than Carlo's was and his comments in the media have shown quite clearly that he expects signings to be made.

I believe we'll get a couple of players before the mercato ends, just depends on who the management finally decide on that makes the difference.

Those players will be World Champions, Pannucci, Veiri and Veira.

For real, I really like what Leo is doing, establishing himself among the team and MGT.
Thats something that Carlo lacked for the past few years.
Just hope that Leo can continue and wish he gets the players that he wants.

Mate, maybe you should tell also when you called your buddy. Was it before Dzeko signed contract or after? When was it exactly so we could know if it is a (very) updatend news or not.

Honestly, I am open such information since most of us can only know any information about a player from media.

Leonardo said many times he never thought about being a coach ... and that it is Berlu/Galliani who pushed him in that way. Now he is a coach, if he wants to have at least a decent career in that role, he needs to have a good start with Milan (it's his problem, starting with this Milan, and he has to find quickly a solution). To have a good start with Milan, he just needs some players ... if he doesn't get these players, then that will mean that Galliani and Berlu pushed him to be a coach but without worrying about his career (whereas at start, they said they wanted him as a coach because they knew he would be talented and could do good things with Milan ...). No reinforcement and a bad season could lead Leo to leave next year or the following one, I mean, if he doesn't want to be called "a bad coach", and the message sent to all the former and current players would be "we're no more a family".

So I think it's normal to see what happens nowadays. I don't think the relation between Leo and our management has changed too much, it's just that Leo knows very well how Berlu and Galliani work, what they like and what they don't like as he has worked for them for many years now ...

When Berlu said he would only be buying young players from now, I like the way leo came out and said, "yeah sure, young players, but players who can actually make an impact now!" He and everyone knows thaqt Berlu will make cheap signings, or get players who will take atleast three years to develop!

Erwin Hoffer
After flirting with the likes of Julio Cruz and Goran Pandev, Napoli have opted to go for a rising star to complete their striking department, and have signed Erwin Hoffer from Rapid Vienna.

“Erwin Hoffer is a Napoli player,” reads a note on the Vesuviani’s official website.

“The striker has signed a five-year contract. Hoffer, aged 22 and nicknamed ‘Jimmy’, can play both as a first and second striker and his main traits are rapidity and explosiveness.”

Hoffer had been with the Austrian capital club since 2006, winning the league title in the 2007-08 season and hitting a remarkable 27 goals in 34 appearances last term, a feat that saw him come in 11th place in the 2009 Golden Shoe award.

Hoffer becomes Napoli’s sixth signing of the close season after Fabio Quagliarella, Luca Cigarini, Hugo Campagnaro, Morgan De Sanctis and Camilo Zuniga.

Relieved to see the Pirlo deal not happening. The more I think about it now, the more I think that Chelsea wins out. We only get the loan option of Mancienne,and Pizarro won't last for long either.....

What, are you naive? Napoli is a side that will be threatening Milan's position next season..... It is better that we know of their activities to gauge against ours. if you think so narrow mindedly and can't understand that!?

This is Milan Summer Mercato, not Italian/Serie A summer mercato. Your posts about players/club that have nothing (or little) to do with Milan is pretty annoying.

Perhaps, but if you hold your viewpoint so strongly, you should have condemned everyone for discussing the Ibra transfer, like it or not, it is far more relevant to Milan than you may think. Of course I respect your opinion, but perhaps you should reconsider the relevance.....

Also mate, there is little to discuss about Milan at the moment,

Robben can move to Roma, Caceres to Juve is immenent and Eboue of Arsenal to Fiorentina is imminent. On the Milan front? Nothing! If you post just to criticise......

If you post your opinion (for example Ibra's departure to Barca) it's ok, but your post was news about other player and that's a long post. That's why I complained, a long post (news) that has nothing (or little) to do with Milan.
