Vieri leaving

there are rumours today that Vieri is going to be released? well i cant say that i havent been disapointed by vieri so far, if he wants to go, he can go......

Udinese look like they want to offload Iaquinta, he could be a good option for us, plus he is ownly 26.....

Yeah it won't really bother me if Vieri leaves. I am a bit concerned about who should be brought in though. Maybe this is a good time to get Toni?
Well, on a more serious note, we need a decent 4th striker now. Iaquinta would be a good choice. But honestly, we could have gotten Cassano for £3,5 million...

i think Vieri was supposed to be the 3rd choice striker at Milan, Iaquinta is more of a power striker like him, opposed to a player like Inzaghi......

Toni would be nice,but he will cost too much, plus i cant see fiorentina letting him go. Cassano is a bad boy, i think that is the reason we didnt sign him, gallani prob thinks he will disturb the carmness of the team

Not released, like making him a free agent. We are talking transfer here, and it would be a great move for us since Im sure we will get a new and serviceable striker.

Milan 'release' unhappy Vieri

Source: Football Italia

Milan transfer chief Adriano Galliani admits that Christian Vieri has requested a move to play first team football, which could take him to Spain or England.

“Vieri is very happy at Milan, but in a World Cup year he would like to play more regularly,” explained the Vice-President.

“He is torn and I understand his situation. In any case, this is an issue that will be decided over the next two to three days and will not drag on beyond that.”

The Italian international has barely made a mark since joining the Rossoneri in a shock free transfer from rivals Inter in the summer.

Locked out by the form of Andriy Shevchenko, Alberto Gilardino and the newly recovered Pippo Inzaghi, he has been mainly relegated to the bench.

A January transfer now looks likely and an overseas option is top of his list. While a return to Atletico Madrid, where he was top scorer with 24 goals in as many games in 1997, has been suggested, the most recent reports highlight a move to Tottenham.

“He is 33 years old and this will probably be his last World Cup, so he feels that he must safeguard that experience by playing more first team football,” added Galliani. “These are all perfectly understandable considerations.”

Other Premiership options for the centre-forward include Newcastle, Birmingham and Manchester City, though The Guardian claims that White Hart Lane is the key to his loan deal.

“I will only say that if Vieri does stay, then he’ll focus all his attention on doing well with Milan. All he needs is a little patience and a brace of goals to get the critics off his back, but any eventuality will be dealt with in a climate of friendship and understanding.”

Coach Carlo Ancelotti also hinted that a departure – albeit an amicable one – was on the cards.

“Nobody here has any intention of dumping Vieri,” assured the tactician. “I would be happy if he stayed, even if I cannot give any guarantees on more first team football.”

Well, folks, it seems that Vieri is almost 'officialy' out... let's hope we can pick Torres, or at least someone like Iaquinta.

Him coming from Inter at his age and form was always gonna be one of those 'either it surprises big time or its a disaster' to me the same question remains...are we gonna get a guy with caliber thats gonna compete for Gila's 'spot' or be happy to sit on the bench?

imagine if we didnt sign Gilardino,scary stuff

just doing a quick rumour search, this one is funny- Possible exchange for Simone Inzaghi? (sports.it)

I think alot of fans hoped Vieri would Succeed at milan like Pirlo and Seedorf did, but yeah rezag i agree with u, it was either going to be hit or miss with Vieri.

If we did get another striker i dont think there would be a big problem. Sheva and Gilardino cant play every game anyway.

We do owe Vieri for one thing! His bad form has meant Gila has settles without much pressure.

Well, it's up to our board: now they have to show us their real intentions in make Milan succeed.

best news ive read so far this transfer window..im happy, milan board are making the right decision..im hopeful we can get first option on Torres or something, but still our priority should be gettin a defender, but still im not too sure that vieri will be leaving..galliani said that he might leave, a decision will be made in 2 days..hope we can get a good replacement that is DIFFERENT to Gila and Inzaghi.. and i also want to mention how disappointed i am for not taking Cassano for $3.5 million.. FFS I WOULD HAVE TRANSFERED THAT MONEY TO GALLIANI TO BUY CASSANO!! ok jk but im sure milan fans who have that amount of money would do it :P

Corradi to replace Vieri?

The report also points out that Amoroso could be heading to Milan... for Christ's sake, that is an atrocious choice!!!

i really hope we are not thinking about amoroso, we can take Weah back, he is better than amroso.....about vieri....im pleased to see him leaving us. its the right devision for him and milan. Corradi would be a good replacement, but Parma relies on him too much to sell him right now.

Yep, I can't see they offloading him now. I hope instead that we should be heading to get Torres or Iaquinta, let's prey!
