Alberto Gilardino to Milan??

Ok here is the latest on the Gila saga. I read this on gazzetta and tgcom.it.

Apparently, Berlusconi is willing to give 20 million pounds for the transfer. Milan would then have to finance the rest. Milan want to pay 25 million pounds in total while Parma are demanding closer to 27.

One way they could do that is by using the funds from the Dhorasoo move, belived to be 2 million pounds.

As for our loser blue-and-black cousins...they apparently have stepped up the chase but neither side want a bidding war.

The rumour is that Moratti wants Milan to cool off on Vieri and then they will cool off on Gila.

Guys, don't lose hope. If Berlusconi is putting money up and Braida, Galliani, Ancelotti and the berlu himself are having meetings (which they are) then they must be intent on landing the striker.

At the same time we must be practical. We have to keep our books balanced. Parma cannot hold us hostage over this. I understand they are struggling to stay financially solvent and they are right to find the best price.

I just hope for the kid's future he does not end up at Inter...

I honestly dont care where he goes to. I'm content if he does not end up in our camp. What is irritating is that some of us really think he's coming bottom line. All I'm saying is "Good Luck".

The very start of this thread was that he was a Milanista. Wrong.
Then that we had a sealed deal. Wrong again.
I have seen nothing. Nada one bit of anyone really knowing what the heck is going on. It is one thing to speculate... and another by just shooting bvtt darts. I think most are shooting bvtt darts.

Maybe the reality check needs to be done here with some of us.

Actually I am happy. What I dont like is the unsubstiated rumours going around as if he is ours. Let us not be surprised if he doesnt sign with us. That is what I'm trying to say. It would be more a loss to him than a loss for us.

Milan singed Vieri but I think that Gila will be also a Milan player!

parma could accept that but gila wants milan move

And that my friends is the key point in all of this madness...if the player wants to go to Milan, and Milan want him...he will come to Milan, after all is said and done...

(At the risk of irking some of us here with my causual, dont give a F*#k bvtt dart throwing self)

Lighten up guys, as mad as I am about the whole Vieri thing, and the protracted nature of the Gila transfer, there are really more significant things such as world hunger and poverty that we deserve to be mad about.

With Ferrari wanting to leave Roma, why don't Milan buy him and loan him to Parma as part of the Gilardino deal ?

I don't think he would be that expensive, plus if he doesn't return to his better days then we could always sell him on again.

Monday there has been a sort of summit between Galliani, Braida with Silvio Berlusconi and Carlo Ancelotti in telephone connection, to decide the to do.
It is easy that Tuesday Gila's agent Beppe Bonetto, who however pushes to close before possible the deal, comes convened for a new meeting again. Up to now it seems Silvio Berlusconi is ready to give 20 millions of euro: the remainder (to arrive an utmost of 27 millions) should arrive from other transfers. The first 3 millions arrived with the transfer of Dhorasoo to the Paris Saint Germain. It lacks 4 m., a rather reasonable figure easy to find imho with still a pair of moved of market.

So, where is the problem?

MILAN

Interesting info Gino. Source?

I will now attempt to set out my views on this saga, clearly and concisely...



First the facts (as I understand them):

From before the end of last season, Milan signs a pre-transfer agreement with Gilardino.

Fast forward to the season´s disappointing end:

The club, pleasantly surprised with new loanee Hernan Crespo, is trying to prise him away from Chelsea, who are disappointed with their current striker situation, and think Crespo will be a short term soloution to their problem.

Meanwhile negotiations with Parma hit a stumbling block, as Milan are loath to match Parma´s valuation of the player.

As the days turn into weeks, on the other side of the city of Milan, Vieri is allowed to leave Inter, while the Crespo deal stagnates, as Kaladze stays with Milan, as Chleski (in a weird frugal turn) think Milan´s valuation of the player is too high.

Veiri is announced by Milan as their latest aquisition, following the club´s recent trend in signing free agents.

Now for my inferences:

Crespo will remain in London, unless Chelsea use him as a makeweight in their pursuit of Trezeguet....fortunately for the Argentine, he will at least be in the same country his wife is from...unfortunately though, he is not going to the team of his choice..but in a WCup pre season, a starting place beats the bench everytime...somehow though, my gut instinct tells me that the transfer wont happen this way...and as mercenary as Crespo is, I dont see him relishing working under Don Capello...so, in a nut shell...he will remain in London...and Chelsea, after announcing the signing of Gerrard from Liverpool, will declare their transfer season closed..

Vieri, already a Milan player, will form an excellent partnership with Pipo in our pursuit of the Italian Cup..where his excellent performances will put pressure on.....wait for it....

Gilardino, who, surprise surprise, makes it to Milan, after protracted, heated, and near violent discussions with Parma´s new owners, and the player...while Milan suits sat, waiting on the pre-ordained outcome...that the player would leave for the club of his choice...

Further on in the news...."Man steals marked police car, and drives it across town to court"...more on this and other stories, after the break...

I want more stories and less breaks.

I hope Milan signs Gilardino to puts on the face to the Inter Merda fans that thinks that Vieri for Milan and Gila for Inter hahaha!!!

Please Galliani, Braida, Ancelotti, Berlusconi, buy Gilardino to all of us!!!

Actually, this is not a bad idea at all. He does seem to be destined for Everton though, at least these are the latest news I read on him. Price mentioned was ~5mil euros.
