Winter Mercato

well now that jose has left, we dont know what the new coach might prefer to do. Milan has been linked with so many top class players either in january or the summer they have to get at least one!

Not really. Didn't get any during summer. Got one and half during winter. no guarantee we won't end up with another Emerson/Ba/Favalli summer.

Emerson was a good buy not nesseceraly huge, when i say big buy i mena ronaldhino, drogba..and hey not sure what you guys think of the return of sheva?

RECOBA, re the return of $heva, I believe there is a thread on that very subject in the Players section.

Also, just a gentle reminder for those who have forgotten, or like RECOBA, just dont kno:

When posting portions of, or the entire article from some other website/newspaper/tv program, please also include the source of said info.

Thanks

Sorry, Warro will qoute source next time, just to let everyone know though that all the articles that were posted by me are from football italia.

apparently, didas recent reaction to the light slap in the face he recieved cause milans president to think about buying a new keeper. Didas form has dropped in the last few years, but im not to sure about how true those rumours are. It wasnt even stated whch keeper, it is that they wanted to buy apprently hes 19 though.

We all know about Drogba recently saying he wants to leave Chelsea, but we dont know know that Drogba has actually said he wants to play for one of the following four clubs: Milan, Inter, Real Madrid or Barcelona, and after them back to Marseille. Its on calciomercato, which may have taken it from France Football.

i know for sure though that inter will not go for frogba especially the fact that recoba will be returning to inter at the end of the year, i can completely rule out a move to inter, they wont allow 7 strikers.

Milan Offer $8 Million For The Services Of Riquelme

According to reports from the Argentine press European champions AC Milan have offered Villarreal $8 million for the services of gifted Argentine playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme.

Riquelme, who played a key role, as Argentina won their opening two 2010 World Cup qualifiers, has not made a single appearance for Villarreal in Spain’s La Liga this season, after a conflict with the club's Chilean manager Manuel Pellegrini.

The Argentine international is desperately looking for a new club, and is likely to have his wish come true when the transfer window re-opens.

He has recently been chased by the likes of Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, Manchester City, and former club Boca Juniors, but according to the journal there’s a good possibility that he will join AC Milan.

Milan, who are rumoured to have offered Villarreal $8 million for the midfielder, have not been in top form this season, and have been looking for a player with his rare qualities.

Despite not having played any club football this season, Riquelme was still called up to the Argentine national team squad by team manager Alfio Basile for the World Cup qualifiers.

Riquelme once again proved his undisputed class, scoring two outstanding free-kicks as Argentina defeated Chile 2-0 in Buenos Aires on Saturday.

The midfielder then set-up Argentina’s first goal as they beat Venezuela by the same score-line in Maracaibo on Tusday.

Hmm.....

hmm. that new article on goal about drogba being all unsettled really makes me wonder.. Out of all the opportunities we had to buy strikers, did we ever once give the amount they were asking for? I realize they know what has to be done, but honestly, if we needed a striker, i'd offer in advance for someone good, i'm positive if we had went for eto'o as long and put as much effort into his purchase like we did with r10, we'd be a lot more succesful, now we have no r10, or etoo.

Riquelme will be a good buy in my opinion (if it's true). He has the splitting skills that has left us since Rui Costa has gone. I hope he'll join us.

he'd fit in well with pirlo and our other midfield, we need more creativity, imo a more creative midfield would help our wings and set up more one man plays for players like gila who can apparently score most one v one with goalie situations.

Riquelme? He may be good for us but i really dont wanna see another aged primadonna playing for us. I want pace, not another tired ego on the field.

so Rosina then

I can see the differences between Milan and Chelsea.

Sheva said he wanted to leave - so what do we do? We sell him immediately.

Drogba says he wants to leave - what do Chelsea do?
_____________________________________

Having stressed that he would like to play in Italy, it had been believed that Milan and Inter were ready to do battle for Drogba’s signature, but Chelsea deny the rumour.

“Drogba signed a four-year contract last year,” Blues chief Roman Abramovich stressed in a statement on the club’s website.

“As a top-level professional we have faith that Didier will honour his deal at Chelsea.”

Hmmmm.
