Yes and West Ham 12.5 million for Neymar but it was turned down I think they want 20 million for Ganso and 25 million for Neymar ...which is pounds so about 23 million euro for Ganso and 28 million for Neymar, good players but thats fcuking ridiculous.

Im starting to think they have no intention of signing anyone really no one http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy...e-sell-players ....I mean if you want to sell players sell them it isnt that hard ring around tell the agents that they have to move on the agents want there cut of a transfer fee anyway , its becomming ridiculous really really ridiculou I give up i swear.

Galliani just said he's not buying until he sells...

We've been saying " SELL KALADZE JANKULOVSKI ODDO SEEDORF AND EVEN HUNTELAAR IF NEED BE"

why is this difficult? I agree Jay Crisp.... it's ridiculous

sell these players and buy 2-3 new ones and promote 2-3

Well we cannot force Janku Kala Rino Oddo to leave.I guess they have a contract , i'd keep Seedorf if we buy a young attacking mid or playmaking attacking mid he can point him in the right direction....I honestly think Clarence will be here for along time maybe 1 more year as a player but longer working with the club.

jucilei is more important than ganso or neymar , we don't need strikers or support wingers get cole who can be a midfielder or attacking midfielder even winger and jucilei and rebuild our midfield which is even more important than even our widebacks

It is difficult to get rid of players with contract, which I understand, but what's the point of renewing Inzaghi's expiring contract then?

Everyone is waiting for the summer of 2011 when so many (11?) deadwoods' contracts will "finally" expire, but you know what? Don't count on it. I wouldn't be surprised if a few months from now, Galliani would be handing out renewal after renewal to our champions. Then finally when summer arrives, Galliani will be claiming that "no sell, no buy."

Rumour of the day on Calciomercato: negotiations on course with CSKA for Honda ...

This forum creates the rumours.

Monaco doesnt want Janku or Oddo cuz Galliani is the only person who thinks that they are champions...

Regarding Honda, he is a quality and young player,so i doubt if Galliani can manage to sign him.

if we switch to 4-1-2-1-2, its impossible to do it with Ronaldinho as trequartista,we need a vice Pato,who can do contribution when Pato is missing and SS is very important for this formation,considering Pato's injuries, we had to deal with it.

We need better midfielders,our midfield means to me anti-modern football.Rosenborg's Annan would be nice pick, same goes for Boateng.Jucilei is a must for us,we need 2 BTB for midfield,then wing backs,then quality striker,all round striker.then we can compete with inter and juve for scudetto.Pirlo passed it,i dont count him as a starter anymore if its up to me,sign Hernanes and let them fight for one spot,whenever they are both in form,play them both as they can...

Jucieli, Hernanes, Özil, Honda, isla, Annan, All are welcomed here by me...

4-3-1-2

Abbiati
isla Nesta Silva Kolarov
Jucieli Hernanes Honda
Özil
Pato Luis Fabiano

i know its all fantamercato, i just can see us signing Fabiano plus some old,finished and crap players.typical Galliani signings.first he renews then he says we dont send them away,so we cant sign.

SEVEN new players in STARTING LINEUP. Even in the dream world it would be a crime! LOL

Juve have officially signed Bonucci (GBP12.5Mio) & Martinez (10Mio)!
They already got Pepe & Storari
Pepe is 26, Storari is is 33 (but a GK), Bonucci is 23, Martinez is 27
On paper, this looks good for Juve....but again, it also did last year with Melo & Diego...i just hate to see another young promising italian defender sign for a rival club

@ZvonimirBoban ,i already said that its all fantamercato, yet we need something like this to compete with Juve and inter.Do you believe if we can compete with them, with just Fabiano,Yepes and Amelia?i'd call us lucky if we can sign Fabiano though...

@LebRN Stotari nothing special, Pepe good player, nothing special, not world class player. Bonucci is good defender but nothing special.

They didnt strentght that much though spending that much...if you sign players like Honda and Özil, you strentgh the team,add much more quality.i cant say the same thing for juve...

I agree with Rabia 15 (if you are a girl)

^^ so if Rabia's a boy you wouldn't agree?

I like Honda and a purchase like Honda will definitely increase the market value in Asia. Honda can be even better than Nakata was, he has more to his game than Nakata. Honda is definitely a better buy than Adiyiah, Sheva, and Viudez in the last few years...however if I were in charge I would get someone like Robinho. Honda is good, but I'd use our Non-EU spots only for great players.

I would rank Jucilei and a 20 goal per season young striker ahead of Honda though.

-Storari was probably the best keeper in Serie A last season and should have been Italy's 2nd GK.
-Pepe is indeed not a world class player but he has a great work-rate, he'll fit well in Juve.
-Bonucci is a very good defender imo, but I am curious to see whether he can perform on the same level next season at Juve.
Juve bought some fine players but perhaps they have overpayed a bit, at least they are trying to do something.

I think Honda is a possibility for us , though he won't come for little money. I really really really like the Japanese players because of their great work-rate and because they are so modest. ( maybe that doesn't really count for Honda but still..) I also like their CB Tulio and Matsui who already plays/played in Italy if I'm correct?
If we're going to be cheap we should start looking at these players more, too bad most of them will be non-EU.

Özil won't come cheap ( read : all the big clubs are interested, that means we can forget about him)

I also don't understand all this talk about Fabiano, give him a few more years and he is washed up. In the end we will also pay quite a bit for him I suppose? Why not splash out some more on someone for the future? A young promising forward, prices are high but it's called investing I suppose. That's something Galliani doesn't know.

There's a lot of talk about how we have become a cheap club, well I think no one can deny that but it doesn't mean we have to suck. Berlusconi needs to realise : 1. Football has changed, we've entered a new era. (in which France and Italy are behind right now) This change requires new tactics, new coaches, new staff, new techniques, new equipment, new players..
And that brings me to : 2.Changes on the field also require changes within the clubs. We need new directors, managers, scouts,.. We need to get rid of Galliani and a whole bunch.. and their old ways of thinking, this no longer works. We need fresh blood within before we can guide our club into the right direction. We need to start spending wisely, build a team with a few superstars and surround them with youth and squad players. We need to sell in order to buy, true, but we need to replace quality with quality. (Lyon does/used to do the same) It doesn't mean we're going to be a pushover club, but if we're going to become cheap we've got to do it right.

Where's the time we used to be that big AC MILAN, I always loved to see trainers' faces when their team was in our group in the Champions League. Ah they used to **** their pants just seeing our name pop up. Look at us now. We used to be number 1 in terms of medical care. We had the best facilities and surgeons, people all over the world came to Milan Lab just to hear more about our techniques and equipment. Now we can't even take care of some simple injury's. What has happened in these last few years? Has calciopoli affected us more than we thought? Is it because of Berlusconi's lack of interest in Milan? Is it because of the current economic situation? I suppose it's a combination of all those. Heh seems like I was in a bit of a nostalgic mood when typing this, I've been with Milan through some tough times already but right now I don't see too much light at the end of the tunnel. I hope we're going to have a good summer, but right now this elite club is no more.

I agree with ThrusT. Juventus really have a good plan. They have clear goal, not to immediately become the best club in the world but building a sturdy foundation.

They have a 4-4-2 master in Del Neri and will stick to it, a transfer guru who know who is the underrate & needed player.

4-4-2 is maybe an out of date formation but every formation can work with the right player and the right coach. They have the right coach, now the players. Storari, Motta, Bonucci, Pepe, Martinez will fill in the positions they need. Of course, the Juve of Cappelo in 2004-2006:

---------------------Buffon-------------------------------
--Zebina----Thuram---Cannavaro---Zambrotta---
--Cambiaso---Emerson---Viera---Pavel Nedved--
--------------Trezeguez---Ibramovic-----------------

World class everywhere except for RB (solid). It is hard (almost impossible) to build another one like that, but the players they buy and the one they have already are still one of the bests in Serie A.

They may not win the Scudetto but are true contender, and will take part in Champion League next year with great motivation.

Del Neri is another tinker man, but Juventus need a tinker man now, then replace him with a world class one. They know a good foundation is what they need the most.


In comparation with Juventus, we have better foundation, but we still have to build it stronger, step by step. Last season was with the youngsters, and now the depth for main squad. We only have Yepes & Amelia now, but there is 3 full months untill 31st August, even without a big transfer, if someone (more than one ) like Caceres, Otamendi, Helb,... come, Milan are still on the right path.

Milan & Juventus both must close the gap between them and other top clubs befor planning to be ahead.
