Winter Mercato

Zambrotta is the best fullback in the world and the perfect solution for us. I really hope we have any chance to sign him at any cost...

no! zammbrotta isn't the best solution for us , he might be a proven player in fullback but we need a younger player who will be proven this year and 5 upcoming years like we bought kaka and guys galliani says we will have inzaghi gila rony and pato only where is aubameyang will this goal machine be kicked out also why do gourcuff complain a big mouth he will play in the cup in the world clubs cup and in the league sometimes that enough for him

Milan has enough good players and they prove that, in their ability to dominate in Europe. Mabe they need 1 more defender, Zambrotta as mentioned at the top is a good option, but at what cost? and is Barcelona even willing to let him go that easy. Zambrotta did say though and i remeber reading it in the summer that he would like to end his career at Milan so if that were to happpen it would happen soon.

i wonder if we can ever aquire karim benzima from lyon...he is young .....fast...amazing talent...and has a nose for goal....i really doubt lyon will sell him and its weird how the only frenchmen that we have in recent years is gorcuff

It seems that milan is in for all the brazilian players. I think that trend will most likely continue into the next transfer market, with the purchase of ronaldhino i hope.

I really like benzema a lot, but he will be expensive. he would do very well in serie a i think, though.

You always have to overpay for Lyon players, just like the Sevilla ones.

This rumour is pure BS !

Not the part about Zambrotta. I can see Barca selling him this or next summer. But Lahm replacing Zambrotta is pure BS because :

1. Bayern will not sell Lahm. Bayern never sell German NT players, especially the most talented German youngster. It's as simple as that, as one member here says. Schweinsteiger and Lahm will play in Bayern for a long long time.

2. How can Lahm replace Zambrotta ?
Lahm is a pure LB. Barca's LB is Eric Abidal.
If Lahm goes to Barca he can replace only Abidal, not Zambrotta who is a RB in Barcelona.

Good points but in this case, all wrong

1. It seems like Lahm's contract with bayern expires in 2009, so next summer he will have only one year left on his contract and Bayern may well find themselves forced to sell.
Of course there is always the chance he would renew but if Barca is really after him, I have no doubt which team he would choose.

2. Bayern's RB until this year was Sagnol but he was injured from last year and they streted the new season with lahm at RB and jansen ar LB (jansen has been great in that position this year, at least from what I've seen) and these two fit in so well that there were suggestions Sagnol would lose his starting place at RB.
If, however, Bayern do fail to extend Lahm's contract, having Sagnol and Jansen on the team is another reason why they would most likely opt to get some money for Lahm until they can.

they were forced to part with ballack, who was german national team, and that hurt, maybe they would sell to avoid that situation happening again? and as zlat mentioned, he plays both sides also, though you don't think of him as being as ambidextrous as zambrotta.
respect your opinions a lot, but i think that one is a little off personally.

Drogba to drop Chelsea bombshell

Didier Drogba is set to drop a massive bombshell on Chelsea in an interview to be published in France Football on Friday.

The Ivory Coast attacker, whose country qualified for the African Cup of Nations finals this week, has been unsettled by manager Jose Mourinho's departure.

Although often stressing some doubts over his long-term future, the latest comments are sure to leave major question marks surrounding his Stamford Bridge career.

"I want to leave Chelsea," he is quoted as claiming by France Football in their cover story of the magazine that hits the shelves on Friday morning.

"Something is broken with Chelsea."

The African attacker, who won last season's English Golden Boot and is a key figure for the West Londoners, has expressed a desire to quit the capital side at the end of the campaign.

"The damage has been big in the dressing room because we know now what happened and who caused Mourinho's departure," Drogba explained.

"Nothing can stop me from leaving now.

"I know that Ronaldinho and Kaka are linked to come next season but even that won't change my mind."

Drogba, who struggled to settle initially before setting The Premier League alight with his goals and powerful all-round attacking play, has incredibly revealed he was unhappy at the club ever since day one.

"Since the day I arrived, I wanted to leave Chelsea and then again every summer," he is quoted as saying.

I think he would fit perfect in our style of play.

He is welcome in Milan. All it takes is for him is to realise the beauty of Milan. Honestly it only takes a four year old to see that he is an amazing striker. Seeing him in Milan would make me very happy.

Is it realistic? Maybe.

Hmm, i had no idea he can play RB. I've seen Jansen covering LB but i thought it's because Lahm was injured or smthg. And i don't know why i thought he can't play RB when he's right footed

I don't agree that Lahm will chose Barca over Bayern though. Unless he's offered a much bigger wage in Barca, he'll stay in Bayern without any doubts, imo. If Bayern wants him to stay, then i'm sure he'll stay. The Bavarians are building a team that will repeat the glory days and i think they count on Lahm.

This won't change too much regarding Zambrotta's transfer out of Spain. Lahm or no Lahm, i expect them to be opened for offers during the summer. Buying Lahm will only speed up the process and lower up Zambro's price.
