Cafu, Favali, and the other that you are talking about are never meant to be a first team player anymore; I think Giovanni is referring to the starting line-up; while Sheva will easily make it to the Milan bench, I suspect that it'll take him another few motnhs, if not more, to once again fit in with Milan's sthyle of play simply because he is growing accustomed to English style of playing.

All these talks will be useless once we see how Pato plays, and I sincere hope that he'll be the star of our second season...

It's not just you. I can't remember if I've posted this in the past, but whenever we bring up Sheva's last days with Milan, I always think of this picture from the second leg of our CL loss to Barcelona. He looked as if his mind was somewhere else during that match.

It's just the shortening of "Gourcuff." I don't know, I always think of "Gorky Park" whenever I see it.

lolz.. same as u i looked that as Scorpion's song too

finally some good news.
a fresh start for milan in june...
only the possible gourcuff transfer, is in my opinion not so good. why waste a talented kid. give him some time to develop. (or loan him out)

i hope milan finally will go deep in their pockets, to rebuild the squad ( and not only ronaldinhio :s )

lol, BMW's right about it being a shortened version of his name, I believe Zlatanov (a highly regarded member here) was one of those who started off the whole Gorky thing

Berbatov - yes, excellent hard worker, but is he cup-tied due to his participation in the UEFA Cup?

If I am not mistaken participating in the UEFA cup does not make the player cup tied, so Berbatov still can play in the CL, and I must say that I am not a big fan of him I'd rather Benzema or Hauntlaar IMO they are better by miles.

ronaldinho saga is getting closer apparently..

in general they say: banega will go to valencia. koeman wants him... the only thing blocking him is the tranfer fee of 18mio€

Chelsea reunion in Milan?
Sunday 30 December, 2007

Former Chelsea manager Josè Mourinho and current Blues striker Didier Drogba will join Milan this summer, according to L’Equipe.

The French newspaper claims that the Portuguese Coach [pictured] has already signed a pre-contract with Milan to join them in July.

Mourinho is currently out of work after his Stamford Bridge exit in September and has claimed he would like a move to Italy.

The self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ enjoyed plenty of success at both Porto and Chelsea, as well as being assistant manager at Barcelona.

It is though that current Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti will take the place of Frank Rijkaard at Barcelona, as the Dutchman is under intense pressure at the Nou Camp.

L’Equipe goes on to claim that Drogba, who is reportedly unsettled in London after Mourinho’s departure, would then follow Mourinho to Milan.

The Rossoneri could make a £25m bid for the Ivorian striker, but Chelsea will be reluctant to release arguably their most important player.

Meanwhile, full-back Gianluca Zambrotta is also hoping to join the Rossoneri in January after struggling to establish himself at Barcelona this term.

The Italian international could move to San Siro for as little as £5m.

--------------
I believe everything mentioned in the article can happen during the summer. Only Drogba's price tag is a little exeggarated because £25m (36m eur) is a little too much for a 30 years old player (Drogba is 29 but he'll be 30 in 3 months)

I hope, it wont ever happen. Maurinho's type of play is boring.

so was carlo before he came to milan

if we do sign ronaldinho i hope the management wont give up going for Benzema and Amauri in the summer.
