Ronaldinho

Firstly it was a small noise, very far and not reliable, then it has become louder, despite not being already taken outside the underground level, and more consistent.
I'm talinking about the rumour Ronaldinho can leave Barcelona and that Milan is willful to take him to san siro.

Galliani said once: "I have a dream, and it's called Ronaldinho". Then a very reliable journalist, half spanish and half italian, Gerardo Vallega from AS told once: " Ronaldinho will go on the market, the financial situation of Barca is very risky, if they don't get a major amount of moneys within one season at best".
Yesterday, i heard Ronaldinho is in constant contact with the brazilians at Milanello . Plus, why signing Deco and Giuly when you already have Ronaldinho? More important, can Barcelona maintain such superstars with a dodgy balance, after so many important signings?
Why Galliani told that to the media? Don't you think it's the kind of player Berlusconi would want to take to San Siro, according to the spectacul Milan conceived through all these years in the Berlusconi era? If Galliani open his mouth about a player, it's a strange message.

I confess: i wasn't a huge Ronaldinho fan till i watched some collections of his plays through his brief career; he's a pure genious. I will post this video sooner or later, but i believe many have it already (i got it from XT).

IMO, we have not enough money for that, we have enough good players at this position, we have no real weaknesses in our squad. So why do we have to aquire the most expensive player (and best one of course) in the world, it is insanity to waist money on that, yhe opportunity is lost, and now we have to look for new rising stars not for shinning...

Because we missed Maradona to couple with Van Basten many years ago, and won't make the mistake to miss the signing of a genious again!

Not enough moneys? Plus, what have we spent in the last years? Plus, you say: let's go find new talents: but Ronaldinho is 25 y o, it'd be a player for more than 10 years.. Imagine in terms of moneys, how many you get back using the name Ronaldinho or his image. Look how many interest an amazing player like Kakà has taken to san siro..these players excite the people of every country and every team, because every football lovers love them, simple as that.

On a technical point of view, imagine :

---------------DIDA

CAFU----NESTA---STAM-----MALDINI

----GATTUSO------------PIRLO

RONALDINHO------KAKA'-------SEEDORF

--------------SHEVCHENKO

Ronaldinho and Kakà are very attcking so they can partner with Sheva, who can play amazing games alone upfront. The technical reason is here: three amazing players + Pirlo to feed the best striker of the world in the top of his career.

Only on a Ronaldo- Sheva or Adriano -Sheva partnership i would have some doubts to gel better than Ronaldinho in our lineup.

People after the CL of 2003 said: we mustn't change, we are already perfect. the fact is you have to try to get always better. And i want the myth of the INVINCIBILI to live again

Ronaldinho is 24 y o, because he is born in 1980 year. He very good player and I want see him in Milan next year, but no in that year, because we have Rui Costa. Next year he go out from our team.

Yes, Dinho is the best in the world at the moment, but there is crucial reaso why we should stay calm. We are club which has no weaknesses, the only thing that can stop us is - AC Milan. If we are in the form that is, let's say, ''not bad'' then we can conquer the world many many times again and again....but....

If we buy Dinho we will accpet the strategy ''buying stars to inmrove our fiancial problems''. And there would not left any romantism and grace of football at all. We do not brew new talents we only buy them for abroad. It is not the way I imagine football. It is not the way the modern football should go. I do not tolerate such things. I am very sad to see that our club is not trying to change anything...
Such players like Alessandro Costacurta, Paolo Maldini, Demetrio Albertini, Franco Baresi... our club is proud to have such persons in possesion. I do not see continuation of this glorious deed in future. i do not see anything. I am speaking from my heart, there is no fake in my words. I should say my heart bleeds...

!Forza Milan Per Sempre!

Wheter you like it or not, if we have a poor youngster team, we must buy elsewhere. We aren't Madrid, the players at Milanello are a family, not just overpaid superstars. We have always had primedonne at Milan, but with us it has been simply different. I understand you are afraid our team can become too filled of superstars, but believe me: with quality, you can jut deliver to the top.

Plus, Milan is a team which has to perform every year, how can they make improve youngsters? How many time to play can Pozzi or Borrliello find if every match you have to perform and can't fail even preseason friendlies cause you are ACMILAN? cause you are the best or among the best teams in the world? You know we can't fail even friendlies cause our performances must live up with the expectations people has .We are not Parma or Ajax.

!Then just look at MUFC and Real!

i don't get your point

we don't need him, but he would improve any team on the planet and if the option came up I don't see how anyone could refuse.

If you take Berlusconi's word seriously about playing with two strikers then there is no room to Galliani's dream.
of course, a 'Kakà - Ronaldinho' can make the boss to exceed... I believe.

i don't whink we will spend so much money on a player which position we have already covered very well. we surely have some money as milan has not spent too much in the recent past but i think they are going to use it on an area of the team that really needs it. our defense. with billy, paolo, cafu, stam, pancaro who all are gone in 2 years we have to buy big there. our midfield is young and our attack will also not need that much fresh blood it's the denfense we need to build new around nesta.

as Rae i too hope that at least one player in our new defense will be from the youth system. but i guess the best chances has pozzi.


forza milano

what the hell are u guys talking about, i think laporta already calculated things before he got deco, giuly, edmislon, etoo ... im pretty sure he aint selling his player of the year last seasona dn player of the liga season...

if he really needs that money bad then he would sell puyol or some1, infact not even puyol but some1 like motta or xavi or he wouldve sold saviola instead of loaning him. laporta is a smart man and he proved it so far, i dont think he wouldve got giuly with luis garcia present if he was in such enormous debts. besides barca made a deal with telecom i think in which they get 90M to spend for 3 seasons.

and im not saying this because barca is my 2nd team but because it sounds reasonable and im pretty sure everyone would love to have ronaldinho in their team but i think he loves barca and barca love him.

however i think we should sign solari on a free from real or maybe we can go for alexander hleb, a future star!!

Keep on dreaming. - - - - > P.S. Cool smiley!

If Little Ron is available due to Barca's financial problems then I'll say whip out the cheque book Berlu! The sight of the holy trinity (Sheva, Kaka & Little Rona) alone is enough to send shockwaves down opposing defences! le:

Rae, Milan don't have the tradition of promoting youngsters from the youth team. We are not Ajax, who IMO have a tradition of developing good young players in Europe. Milan has always spent big bucks on mega transfers (mostly on foreigners too) of the world's best players since the early days of Rocco.

And the list of mega transfers is impressive indeed!
On top of my head, I can recall:

Gren
Nordhal
Liedholm
Schiaffino
Altafini
Amarildo
Sormani
Schnellinger
Mark Hateley (I had to include him for the 2 goals in the derby win back in 85-86 )
Gullit
Van Basten
Rijkaard
Savicevic
Boban
Papin
Weah
Leonardo
Bierhoff
Shevchenko
Rui Costa

I may have missed out others but anyway, delevoping players from the youth team just ain't Milan's policy. Milan is not exactly an "Italian" club, since the post war days it always has a cosmopolitan feel.

I would obvisouly love this deal, but Ronaldinho have said that he loves Barcelona and it is known he moved to them because of that. One of the few players that could actually improve our team.
