Thank you mates for the explanations.

Yeah, for years we couldn't find someone good enough as Pirlo's back up. There's a rumour that we're trying to get Frey and Pazzini from Fiorentina. The latter is not what we need IMO, I prefer Montolivo.

About GK, I think Carletto will stick to with Dida and Kalac, at least until the season ends. New GK will need more time to adapt with the defenders.

The same thing goes with Ronnie. Winning the UCL is the only thing that can save our season. And there aren't many proven strikers that aren't cup-tied, so it's better to keep him

I've never seen anyone in here claiming that Pato is a failure, where or who did you get that from?!? Some people, myself included, just think that it's unfair to the boy to compare him to Ronaldinho or whoever before he has done anything at the highest level. It just adds more unnecessary pressure on him. I'm sure he will be a great acquisition for Milan, but let's give him the time he (probably) needs. Although nothing would be better than if he became an instant hit...

Forza Pato!

Flamini.

I'd take them both in Milan for next season, then can do their job ok.

AS Giovannni said, Cigarini looks very good indeed. But Im afraid Juve has all the young italians in their pockets somehow...

Anyway: Ivanovic to Chelsea, not unexpected, Banega to Valencia...

I’m convinced that the team, at the end of the January market, will remain unaltered.

For some strange reason I can actually believe Carlo when he says he hasn't asked for any attackers. Seems he plans on mainly using the 4-3-2-1 in the second half of the season.

Toni stated that he had signed a contract with Milan before signing for Bayern i will search for the source.

Il Giornale wrote it today.

"Sapete tutti che sono stato vicino all'Inter due anni fa e anche la Juve mi cerò. Con il Milan, però, ero andato oltre: avevo già messo la firma sul contratto".

if you want an italian replacement for Pirlo and a player of calibar like Aquilani...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYISvJNPOW0

Why can we solve some of midfield problems ike this, some young italian players, there are some other players other than braziliani...

Ferrari, one of the two central back in Inter- Milan 0-6...useless.

Ivanovic go to Chelsea while at the same time some of you say... why change the team, Sheva is old, Drogba is not for Milan, go Galliani!.

agree, and these players are much less hyped than many others. I think we didn't challenge for Banega because we don't want to pay 18 M for a mid, although promising.
Inter signed Cambiasso as free agent. We signed Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambro and Seedorf for no more than 10 M alltogether. If you look around you'll find plenty of top mids without paying crazy prices.

Ivanovic seems to me another Vidic like player... As well as Vidic, this guy is sooo much hyped by the media. I would find tons of Serie A players who can form a decent centre back..just look at Bonera: costed a few millions and he will be Italian international after the era of Cannavaro and Nesta,m pairing with Barzagli..
Barzagli is a player i would spend even 10 M.
Former Jugoslavia countries fail to procduce a world class centre back since the Big Bang...
