Winter Mercato

But also remmber that he is Spanish and would prefer to stay in his country rather than gambling and going to an entierly different country where he has to adopt to its football and life style plus accepting something alike 25 or 30 % cut of his wage because of the taxes only (in case Milan's offer was equal to Real's one) so even from his point of view he may prefer Real Madrid to Milan.

P.S. I am pretty sure that he believes that he is best goal scorer in spain so he wont worry alot of being a benchwarmer.

Berlusconi has been quoted saying "Adriano wants to leave Inter? Then Milan wants him." and then talked about how an environment is important for a player and Milan has an environment that any club in the world would want. Its on Gazzetta.

IMO taking Adriano this winter would be a very good move by Galliani

Since you don't seem to know it I must add that Valencia would NEVER sell to Real Madrid. Only way RMadrid could get him from Valencia would be to match his buy-out clause and convince him to go to the hated rivals...

It would be fantastic to lure Villa to Milan. Let's hope that Valencia will sell and Villa will agree to come. I think there will be open position for him in the first team.
It would be good to sign Adriano, but given the history of previous signings of Pirlo and Seedorf, probably Inter won't sell him to Milan, and sell him in England, instead.

Did anyone else see this?

I think there is no way Real will give us another of their players, just to see us refine him and then watch him play start playing like never before.

Not happening!!!

LOL @ sheva praising Manchester united all the time, hoping for a transfer.
Yesterday article said how he thinks Manchester got it all to win this seasons CL, and today about how Cristiano Ronaldo will take over the form of Kaka for this season.

Channel4 is reporting that Appiah is might be heading back to Juve. I really like Appiah, I would like to see him in the Red and Black.

me and Jim like appiah 2, think he is definately a player that would offer more us something different compared to Ambrosini and Brocchi. More like a desailly for us again.

I'm pretty sure Inter aren't dumb enough to sell us Adriano after Seedorf and Pirlo turned out to be revelations for us. Juve is regretting selling Ibra to a direct rival and Inter aren't likely to make the same mistake. As for transfers, has anybody read this CRAZY story on Channel4 that their could be a Sergio Ramos and Kaka exchange. I hope it's the usual media crap but ever since Sheva, you can't rule anything out.

I think we'll go Bayern's path. Only loss of CL next year and qualification for UEFA cup will force SB to invest money in squad.

Agreed, I he is a fanstatic player. I'd also like Zapata or Kompany, and a forward. We have to start replacing players.

Ramos Tells Milan: Thanks But No Thanks

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has thanked Milan for their interest in him but says he is happy at the Santiago Bernabeu and has no intention of leaving.

Ramos, 21, arrived at Real in 2005 from Sevilla for €27m and has since established himself as perhaps the most consistent defender at the capital club.

Newspaper reports in Italy over the past couple of days have suggested that Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti has specifically requested Ramos' services, as he looks to bring in young blood to an ageing defence.

“It is very difficult for me to be to go to Milan because I am happy at Real Madrid,” said Ramos.

“The Rossoneri’s interest does please me as we are talking about a club with a great tradition, however I must say no thanks.”

Ramos has a huge €150m release clause and a contract that runs until 2013. Real are unlikely to consider any offer for the defender unless Milan were to offer Brazilian superstar Kaka as part of the deal.

Yeap...I saw it. Too bad he could've been a good steal. Young, pretty good now, solid in the back, (RB or CB) and most probably will only improve in the future.

Back then Juve was relegated and had to sell some of their top players. Adriano is a different case. Right now Inter has too many reliable strikers ahead of him. There's no way Adriano can break into the starting line-up. So if he decides to change clubs I don't see why we shouldn't take him. The atmosphere in Milan will do him good. And besides, when it comes to dumb swap, you can always count on Inter
