Winter Mercato

Wow.. You actually beleive manu would let nani go, and cicinho would leave roma? JEeze guys. even me myself, who actually prayed for the full 2 months of the transfer market, even after la porta made it impossible, for r10 to come. but faubert, beleiveable

I'd love milan to go all out and buy 3-4 players.. like that'd happen anyways. I want Eto'o, or Henry, one of them is bound to be unsettled, Ronaldinho is off the list until Summer Mercato, then I'd like Daniel Alves and of course Quaglierella,maybe even Amauri, and hmm. A good defender, I'd buy newcastles Stephen Carr, or Puyol, AND FOR A GOALIE , doni or given.

Well i know that Milan are off to a bad start and people are already complaining but this start to the season was no different to last season.

Actually \i think its a bit worse, at least in the first 5 games in the last season up until the Ascoli match, you won them all, then started the downfall and then you lost from Palermo 2-0, then from Inter 4-3 and you said after an incredible comeback, that Milan is coming back, but that wasn't the case and it turned into a fight for the final four which you did manage to do at the end.

This season could be your quest still to finish in the top four if you continue to play like this

It would be better to play Kala as a LB, as he can play that well. He did it for years!! And Bonera on CB. That defence can look great surely.

About mercato, what to say... no money, no players, no trophyes...

Papers say that Secco is in London to sign Lampard in january. With Ranieri in helm, it doesnt look impossible. I certanly wouldnt like to see that.

Its possible to buy him off for 13 mln, and we need a player like him. A midfielder that can go forward well. We only have Seedorf and Kaka' that can do that. Yoan is not in Carlos mercy so far.

Me neither !
Juve has enough fighters and runners in the team.
They need a creative midfielder.


Edit : Btw, please notice how the news about Lampard and more news about Juve transfers come from Gazzetta dello sport. Usually these news alaways came from Tuttosport.
It's because Juventus has just signed a contract with "La Gazzetta Dello Sport". The same newspaper that has been smearing Juventus' name for over a decade. The same newspaper that sold to the world the Calciopoli and Moggi system story is now Juve's sponsor.
Juste like Telecom became a sponsor to Ferrari.
TIM, the telephone company owned by Inter's sponsor Tronchetti that provided and sold to Gazzetta all the wire taps for the scandal are now Juve's partners.

What the hell was happening during Calciopoli and what the hell is happening now ?

I dont believe this, as I Lampard at least earns sth like 5M per season at Chelsea which is sth that Juve cant affored him at the present time

Only Barca/Madird could possibly afford Fat Frank

Milan can, Inter can, Juve can now also afford him.
New sponsorhip deals, a lot of money unused this summer for transfers and a lot of money saved with the pay-cuts of some players, allow Juve to act freely on the market in January and in the summer.....at least that's what is said.

Old Lady enter Drogba race Tuesday 23 October, 2007


Unsettled Chelsea star Didier Drogba would consider a move to Juventus, according to his agent Etienne Mendy.

The Ivorian hitman has been strongly linked with Inter and Milan since he publicly declared his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

“It’s no secret that Didier likes Milan a lot as he jets off there whenever he gets some time off, but we can’t discount the other big Italian side Juventus,” Mendy told Fuori Zona on Sky Sports Italia.

“It’s clear that his relationship at Chelsea isn’t as good as it was when Jose Mourinho was there, but he is a professional and knows that you can’t be attached to a Coach.

“But if he is to leave Chelsea it will only be for La Liga or Serie A.”

Juve sporting director Alessio Secco is currently in London, where he is said to be in talks with the Blues over Frank Lampard.

It is suspected that Secco may take the chance to start talks over Drogba while he is in England.

The bolded part is about the city of Milan, not the club, but i think the agent also means the club Milan.

I think Juve will get Sissoko before they get Lampard, especially if Tiago goes.

I wonder if Drogba would be tempted into a change of scenery in January?

Tony good point about Drogba and Milan but that could mean any team, Inter or Milan. I dont think we will be going for Drogba as Chelsea will slap a very heavy price tag on his head and I doubt Milan will match it, I feel we shall go for a cheaper alternative either Kanoute or maybe Anelka. IMHO Drogba will cost atleast 20 Million and all the clubs in Europe will be over him.

Im not sure Tony, probably Inter are the only team who could match Lampards salary as they pay over the odds for all their players. I think Lampard is on atleast 120K a week, which works out to be around the 6 Million a year mark. This is what Henry was on and if Milan did not want to pay this much for Henry then I doubt they will want to pay near enough that amount for Lampard, with all the extra money you have made I still dont think you will be able to afford him. Another thing with Lampards missus being Catalan I think she will have a major say in where he goes and he will most likely end up in Barcelona, oh well atleast you can go for Momo who imo is very underrated.

Hope its right, as I wish to see Drogba in Seria A, and it doesn't matter whether he plays for Milan, Juve or even Inter.

My favourite part.

I don't want Lampard at Juve at all. I'd even chose Mommo before Lampard, even though i don't like the idea of another DM joining Juve.
I want creativity whileLampard, who'll probably need a whole season to adapt to serie A , can not provide that.
Barcelona are free to take him.

But i do think Juve can allow his wages. Lamaprd will be 30 from next season, he won't be getting the same wages he's been getting now. Anywhere he goes he'll have to accept a pay-cut.
If Juve don't think they can afford his wages, or if they don't have an idea how much will Lampard ask for (which is impossibile, imo. Ranieri knows him very well, there had to be some contacts with Lamaprd and his agent before Secco flew to London) they wouldn't have bothered going to England at all.

I sincerely hope the negotiations will fail and Lamaprd won't sign with Juve.

But Drogba....YUMMI
