What Transfers do Milan NEED to make???

Guys,

What transfers do you think need to be made by Milan?

I think we need a RB that will be happy to rotate with Cafu, an LB that will start and fits the tactics of our team. With Gilardino coming the forward line is fine. I would like Tomasson and Rui Costa to leave so maybe we would also need to sign a player as back-up to Kaka'

Here are mine:
RB: Oddo (and Mesto)
LB: Jankulovski (He can also be pushed forward if needs be)
AM back-up: Montolivo

I wish we could get Bonera too but how would we make space for him in the team. Ancelotti cannot drop Nesta, Stam, Maldini too much. Bonera would be great though if we got him we would have to let Coloccini go.

Bonera will go to Juve. We share the market, so one for us and one for them. They dropped their interests in Gila and Jankulovski, we will drop our for Bonera.

RB--> Mesto/Cassetti
LB---> Jankulovski
FWD---> Gilardino

For the playmaker spot Rui won't leave, but if he has to, i would go with Aliaksandr Hleb of Stuttgart. Fantastic player.

Tomasson is likely to leave. Crespo to be confirmed.

Totti wants to leave Roma

Totti can go everywhere but plz NOT to Milan.
We should continue to only buy players for departing ones:
Pancaro - Jankulovski
Tomasson(?) - Gilardino
are more or less a given.

I can also see Serginho, Rui Costa, or Ambrosini leaving.
At least one further player will arrive, preferrably a central mid.

Is Jankulovski confirmeed?

milan need a young defender who can take over the reims at milan. we need someone to be out future

quality defenders are very few..it's easier to sign an overated one a la Ferrari

what about chivu or bonera or even mexes.

a defender that can cross...

sheva is not using his head enough.
watch his 100 goals, he worked magic with serginho. dont know what im talking about....remember....6-0

I agree with Bayman, Milan will and should only get new players for departing ones.

In the attack: I believe Crespo will be confirmed and that Gilardino will join from Parma. This leaves one of two options for Tomasson 1) he will be sold 2) Rui Costa will leave and Tomasson will act as back-up playmaker (he has plenty experience in this position and is good at it)

In the midfield: If Serginho leaves and Ambrosini stays, I see one more midfielder joining. I think Jankulowski will be used more as a starting LB than a back-up to Seedorf in the midfield. Sneider anyone?

In the defense: Jankulowski, Maldini, Nesta, Cafu will likely be the "starting four" next season, with Kaladze, Coloccini, Stam as back-ups. Billy will likely retire, which leaves one position open for either Pancaro OR Simic. I doubt that Milan will by another CB or RB.

If Milan needs a defender for sure this in Mirel Radoi from Steaua Bucharest! Is one of the best in the world, is not expensive. I can tell for sure that is better than Chivu, another romanian defender from Roma!
Inter is in pole position of purchasing this player because Steaua's manager, Walter Zenga recomands him to Inter!
If Milan wants To make a good deal this is the solution! MIREL RADOI!!! Galliani buy him!!!

im not sure if a gamble like that is gonna pay off razvan

Costacurta will play next year as well, almost sure.

haha, Bayman, I was so sure you'd say "we need a new Midfield"

Gio is right, Billy will stay one last year for his son (something about taking him onto the San Siro pitch)

As for transfers we need...not many at this point. Lets look at the side firstly.

Dida: has a few years ahead of him and is unlikely to have a major drop in form during that period.
Nesta: He has at least 5 years ahead of him
Maldini: I think he'll stay next year at least
Cafu: I think he has another year in him, but even then, it looks like Colo or someone will be brought in to replace him
Kaladze: Has a number of years left if he can recover from injuries. Also, it looks like Jankulovski will be brought in (again, has many years left) who can play the role superbly
Pirlo: still young
Rino: barely older the Andrea
Seedorf/Dhorasoo: Dhorasoo will probably still be here next year and Seedorf has many years left (and we may get Jankulovski, who can perform this role or LB)
Kaka: VERY young
Sheva: A number of years left
Crespo/Pippo/JDT: Pippo is getting on these days and JDT may move. However, its looking more and more likely Crespo will join permanantly and Gilardinho is becoming a VERY realistic prospect

Looking through that list, its unlikely we'll need much and where we might need a big signing, were already linked heavily to some stars (most notably the forwards). Therefore, other than maybe a forward or two and maybe Jankulovski, don't expect big signings.

However, the squad may be reshuffled a bit as some squad players may be leaving (Serginho and Brocchi seem likely) and so a few squad signings (Solari maybe?) are quite understandable.

Also note, throughout this season people argue our defence is old. However, Cafu and Maldini are some of our fittest players and Nesta and Kaladze are still quite young. Also, if for some reason we need to replace Cafu or Maldini, we have Stam and Colo (Colo is young, Stam is at a fair age for a defender).

The point is, don't expect 5 or 6 big signings, but rather maybe 2 or 3 and some squad signings. One thing I'm sure of, the spine of this Milan won't change and Ancelotti's generation will continue for at least one more season

Well said! Jankulowski, Gilardino and maybe a squad midfielder (unless you count Crespo as well). That will likely be it, which is more than fine by me.
