Milan will only go for him if his price go down to 5M... Even Sheva loan deal looks like more realistic now than Berbatov.

I haven't heard enough of Alex Silva, so I won't make a judgement but I will not be too happy to have a player I didn't know at Milan squad. Thiago Silva... well... he's not cheap, isn't he?

Anybody have heard of Dutch young central defender Ryan Donk?

That's to much for berbatov anyway.

Ryan Donk was born 30 march 1986. Ducht defender of AZ Alkamaar.
played 49 games in the dutch Eredivisie. What about him are we intrested in him? I haven't seen him play regularly but I doubt he would come to us yet. Could we use him? considering possible Maldini en Nesta injury's? At this moment I'dd say no
we still have bonera, kakladze, simic and Darmian even is Simic get's sold we still have Digao. (I can't belive I just typed this but to be honest I never seen him play but I suspect he is only here to keep Kaka here). Now that I think about it I heard footballclubs providing jobs for parents of players but milan is now even employing brother into their team )
If milan belives in Darmian they should give him a chance this season.

Apparantly we sold half of abate to torino, I don't like these deals to be honest. Either you sell a player or you loan him out. If a player turns out good we have to buy a bucket full to get him back and if he turns out crap well then what's the point then he will get sold again probably to a lower rated team.

Channel4 is also carrying the Berb to Milan story:

Though they r being cautious, with that last bit @ the end.

I would be extremely surprised if we bought any other players this mercato.

Milan are likely to keep a close eye on Sao Paulo stopper Alex Silva who is likely to be cheaper than other potential target Thiago Silva of Fluminense.

Both players will represent Brazil at this summer’s Olympics in China and reports in Italy claim that Milan have sent out some scouts to watch the duo

My preference would be Thiago Silva

Even the reduced price is huge. Tottenham are now asking £25m (31.25m euro) which is almost equal to the money Milan payed for Ronaldinho, Zambrotta and Flamini's wages.
Hard to imagine that Milan will go for it.

what about Mario Gomez, (he is younger) but what is his price and how good is he if we compare him with Berba ??

Berbatov is proven talent in germany and england and CL... not because he is not brazilian...or Media Pupet...he is worth what they are asking... No injury worries... sure net finder...with excelent technique...we need a striker... who do we have a a provenn net banger? Inzahgi?...Pato?

TO be honest, I would actually take a chance with Polashi, Borreillo, Pato and Pippo instead of signing another striker.
Ofcourse, if the striker is someone like Drogba or RVN or Toni, it will be a different story.

There's 0% chance another striker is coming. There is 1% chance that we will make another transaction this summer. These Berbatov rumors are absolute nonsense. And we really don't need a FW as much as a CB.

I read on acmilan.com that we sold half of the ownership of Abate to Torino. I thought we just bought back the full ownership a couple of months ago. What happen? Did he fail to impress in just several training sessions that we lose our faith in him very soon?

no actually, Carlo, Galliani and him already stated that he(Abate) wanted another season on loan/co-ownership and then he will come back...

they also said that he signed a five years contract(please confirm? )

I am also curious. Has it come out yet? I failed to see it from the official website.

I believe it is a four-year contract. What is weird here is: why go for a co-ownership deal instead of a pure loan deal? With co-ownership in a year we probably will have to pay (much) more than what we got now.

They maybe need some money for this summer by knowing that we will have more money next summer and so will be able to pay his come back (short-term strategy) ?

Just a "maybe" ...
