Alberto Gilardino to Milan??

What is this all about:

Milan: slitta il sì per Gilardino
La cessione del Parma rallenta la trattativa
MILANO - Ore decisive nella trattativa tra Alberto Gilardino e il Milan. Il sì del giocatore è però slittato di qualche giorno per il protrarsi della trattativa legata alla cessione del Parma.

That is from la gazzetta...I guess it says that the player and Milan have agreed, but somehow it is still tied to the sale of parma.

Can someone confirm.

Some news outlets are reporting it as official and apparently Milan spokespersons have confirmed it...
nothing on the website or Gazzetta just yet.

Matter of hours??

I saw that on the gazzetta...the area where the news rolls in (like a ticker on the front page)

see, all it needed was a little rage from me and Braida was getting scared so he announced the transfer

Guys, Braida just denied everything
It is on the official site
He said that he didn't release any statement about Gilardino today.
This transfer is getting on my nerves! Its unsettling for everyone, fans,parma, milan and gila himself!

All news are FALSE:

Galliani su Gilardino: "Lunedì giornata decisiva"
"In quel giorno ci verrà detto sì o no, ma sono ottimista"

MILANO - L'approdo di Alberto Gilardino al Milan slitta di qualche giorno. La conferma arriva dallo stesso Adriano Galliani, vicepresidente del club rossonero: "Abbiamo concordato con il Parma che lunedì prossimo sarà la giornata definitiva. In quel giorno, ci verrà detto sì o no, dentro o fuori, ma io sono abbastanza ottimista".

Until NEXT MONDAY nothing will be official!!!!

Bad news...

Nothing we didn't know - it says that now are the decisive moments in the Milan-Gila deal. The "yes" from Gila, however, has been prolonged for a few days due to matters concerning the sale of Parma.

all this is getting way, way too dumb.

Well, it could be that Braida wasn't supposed to say anything about the transfer before an official statement has been made, but got all excited when he talked to the fans and did it anyway - and now he is trying to deny it.

OR, it could be that he is just very confident that Gila will sign for us. Like I am.

I was thinking about that first possibility. IMO, either the fans made it all up - I am assuming those initial reports were quoting them - or Braida realised he had done a mistake and now he is trying to cover it up.

did braida said that he didn't make any coments on gilardino ? ?????

yeah, he denied making any comments of this sort and immediately after that Galliani made a statement too saying that Parma has asked Milan for more time - until next Monday - to discuss Milan's offer for Gila.

I have a strong feeling you won't wait till Sunday to start hoping again.

I ain't worried at all - http://www.tgcom.it/sport/articoli/articolo266176.shtml - Galliani himself seems to be enjoying this whole story and looks way too relaxed for things not to be already done and dusted.
Parma are reported to be close to closing a deal to sell the club and this is what seems to be the reason why it takes so long to make the Milan-Gila deal official.
