For me, Zapata would be a good choice for a CB if we're looking inside the Italian market. He has pace & strength, he just needs some tutition.

Does anyone know for sure if Real have first option/already signed Banega of Boca? He'd be a good substitute for Ambrosini & replacement for either Brocchi or Emerson.

I think we should invest into cloning technologies and then clone kaka so we can have 1 for midfield and 1 as a striker...

Zapata is good or Mexes. Roma cant give Mexes the salary that Milan can, so he would move.

Galliani: "Non arriva nessuno"

This was reported in the Gazzetta today. Just as I thought following a Club World Cup win...

Somewhere Warro posted the rules for Silly Season. I think one of them was: believe everything and nothing you hear. Those rules should be stickied!

LOL Here you go

Rule 3 Tabloid reports, are 98.7% accurate
Rule 4 Tabloid reports are never, ever, ever accurate
Rule 5 There are no rules.

eurosport.com :
"Milan might have won the Club World Cup on Sunday, but it may not be enough to save the job of Carlo Ancelotti, whose job will reportedly be offered to Jose Mourinho."

tribalfootball.com :
Galliani "We're happy with this squad. But perhaps we'll look to change one or two players."

We don't need another injury prone player. Besides Emre isn't of Milan quality IMO. Galliani said that Milan will bring two new players in January. Let's hope he keep his words this time though I myself doubt it

goal.com :
"Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is said to be planning a £21m bid for Olympique Lyonnais striker Karim Benzema. "

I guess we will hear more bullsh*t about Italian tax system

Hi! I'm Victor from Poland. I love Milan, but I don't like their transfer policy

I'm very disappointed because Berlusconi said, that there will be no transfers in the winter break

p/s
Could you do your favourite football club a favour???

I have voted.

You have to remember the other side of the argument. If Berlu or Galliani comes out and says they'll sign a striker, player evaluations will be over inflated or we may be involved in a competing bids with other clubs.

It's best we just buy who we need without saying its much better for us, although realising what we need that is another matter entirely. We've done it in the past, saying we wont sign anyone or are not interested and it's been a smokescreen to buy someone else (ie Nesta instead of Cannavaro)

I think that Karim Benzema and Mertesacker should join Milan!

p/s
You can vote on Milan again, after 60 minutes have passed!

We obviously won't be needing a new striker according to Berlu:

Pato Will Score 30 Goals By End Of Season - Berlusconi

Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has been reassured by coach Carlo Ancelotti that the young Brazilian has all the qualities to score a record number of goals by June of next year.

The Rossoneri's main transfer of the January market will be that of Pato who is already being hailed to be one of the best strikers around despite his very young age.

This was confirmed by Berlusconi, who spoke to Ancelotti about Pato's potential.

“We expect the gestures of a great champion, of a rejuvenation of the entire team," declared the Milan president.

"I spoke with Carlo Ancelotti of what Pato could bring to Milan and he told me that if he continues to play like we see him during the training games between the players, it ends up that between January and June he will score 30 goals.

"I asked him 'Will you write this down Carletto?’, and he told me: 'No, I will not write it down, but I'm convinced that there are many possibilities that he can reach this target.'"

With such a target to fulfil, Pato will surely become the most hyped player ever to play in Serie A.



I'm sure Pato is a special player, but the hype is a bit too much atm imo.
