How developed the country he comes from doesn't matter by any legal standard... and luckily so, this standard would sadly let Italy well behind the first rows

I think Lucio and Van der Vart would be two great Winter aquisitions. Van der Vart can be played left or right of Kaka and he would give defenders something else other than Kaka and Pippo to think about. he would improve our goal scoring options from midfield. he has excellent ball handling skills and an eye for goal. Just imagine Rafa, Kaka and pato on the same field.

He's injury prone. A complete waste of money.

Rafa is my favourite Dutch the problem is if he fits in our team... but i would love to see him in reand and black t-shirt....

there are great players linked to us like buffon and ronaldinho, but it is just not the right time to buy them on january.

Ronaldinho anytime before 30 is good IMO. We have a ton of games this year...and as we saw in the Coppa Italia we are lacking quality depth off the bench.
If we want to through in the towel in the CL & Coppa Italia, then we're fine with our pathetic 4th class subs. But if we want to win CL & make some sort of a respectable finish in the league. Some purchases (quality and not panic purchases) are needed.
Beyond the starting 11 we're thin...R10 even if just for the league and Coppa Italia games are fine.
Buy another striker or recall...Oliveira. (don't like him that much but better than nothing)
And Zambrotta's old (and I don't really want him either) but management seems hell bent on doing as little as possible until the summer, in which case we need at least the latter two players that I mentioned if no one else comes in the winter.

MILAN - Inevitably there were questions on the market. Galliani explained: 'Right now we're not following anyone, we have six strikers of which five are confirmed and if Ronaldo does well he will be the sixth. And we have a lot of players out on loan like Oliveira, Matri, Borriello, and Pozzi. An Adriano-Gilardino swap? We'll keep the ones we have. Ronaldinho? He's a Barcelona player and he's unsellable.'

I thought Pozzi and Borriello had been sold?

A good question...

But Il signor Galliani how many we have now in our squad? Kaka is playing in offense....

Il vice presidente rossonero ha confermato l'interesse per due calciatori brasiliani, oltre a Ronaldinho e Amauri, il Milan seguirebbe Diogo, partner offensivo di Pato nell'Olimpica e bomber della Potuguesa e Hernanes, classe 1985, regista arretrato alla Pirlo, in forza al San Paolo


Can someone translate this to me...
thank u

I think Borriello and Pozzi are both co-owned (at least according to Wikipedia). And Marco has been doing well so far ...

There's one thing to bear in mind, Galliani is a liar so we can't trust anything that comes out of his mouth.

Uh oh, something's up, from channel 4.com:

'Dinho storms off to San Siro
Saturday 22 December, 2007
Ronaldinho has had another public bust-up with Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard, so a January switch to Milan is increasingly plausible.

The Brazilian has been unsettled at the Nou Camp for some time now and his rapport with the Coach, teammates and fans is deteriorating fast.

He was caught on camera during yesterday’s training session as Rijkaard berated him for not putting more effort into the work.

Ronaldinho did not seem best pleased and just a few minutes later walked off the field complaining of a mysterious pain in his left leg.

The Spanish and Italian media claim this was a ‘diplomatic’ injury, as the former Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year would only have been left on the bench against Real Madrid.

Milan President Silvio Berlusconi has made it clear on numerous occasions that he wants to bring Ronaldinho to San Siro.

A summer swoop was what everyone expected, but with the tension at breaking point at Barca and Ronaldo’s injury worries stretching on in Italy, the Rossoneri could prepare an audacious January bid.

Berlusconi has to move fast, as Chelsea and Roman Abramovich’s millions are also keeping a close eye on the situation.

Ronaldinho would be available for a January switch despite Alexandre Pato taking the final non-EU member spot in Milan's squad, as the Barca star has a European passport.

is simple what we need... a good striker coz Pipo is 35, ronaldo most of the time have injury, Glia can't score continually, and Pato is good but maybe is still to young, i think Huntelar or Benzema would be fine,then a difender coz grande Maldini can't play in evry game and i do not see Kalaze as good replacement so barzagli or Mexes are great zambrotta too and a goalkeeer maybe good option is Amelia... these 3 or 4 transfers would be great for the winter mercato Opinions???
