A motivated  Ronaldinho makes Diego and van der Vaart look like amateurs. It's even an insult for Ronaldinho to compare him to those.

Found this pic, and I dunno where to put it. But it's a flashback on Galliani:

What? who is he???

What's that?

What's that?

Have you started watching Ronaldinho's games from 2007-2008 season? 

Ronaldinho motivated = Wanting to win, in-form, 2004-2006 10R...

One question - how long is Eto'os medical record? Longer then John McCains?
Now seriously...is he able to play even one full season?

Exactly, a thing of the past.

Milan: Galliani 'Eto'o, prima scelta di Ancelotti'

Dopo l'acquisto di Gianluca Zambrotta, Adriano Galliani torna a parlare ancora di mercato. E dal workshop del Milan, a Villasimius vicino Cagliari, il vicepresidente della società rossonera fa capire che, nonostante il prezzo per strappare Samuel Eto'o al Barcellona sia proibitivo (50 milioni di euro), il giocatore sarebbe particolarmente gradito al tecnico: "Faremo la nostra offerta - dice - è in cima ai desideri del nostro Carlo Ancelotti con cui siamo in perfetta sintonia. Poi vedremo".

Galliani, poi, torna a parlare di Zambrotta: "E' del Milan con 10 anni di ritardo, ma mi sembra ancora bello tosto - dice - ci siamo sentiti tutti i giorni perché voleva venire al Milan. L'ho sentito anche ieri, perchè eravamo vicini a chiudere l'operazione e poi ieri sera per dargli la buona notizia. Sono stato autorizzato dal presidente Laporta a dare l'annuncio. Anche Berlusconi era felice e contento, per i 4 nuovi giocatori arrivati, che sono tutti importanti. Non mi pare che le altre squadre abbiano fatto di più. È il quinto azzurro Zambrotta, è un Milan sempre più italiano. Nell'organico abbiamo 16 giocatori su 25 italiani, tra le grandi d'Europa non c'è nessuno così". Poi svela il retroscena: "Nel '98 è stato molto vicino a noi, avevamo pronta una cifra importante, eravamo d'accordo con il Bari e con il papà. Poi Vincenzo Mataresse mi disse che la Juve offriva x anzichè y. Non potevamo offrire di più perchè stavamo già trattando Serginho, quindi gli dissi di lasciarlo andare alla Juve".

Infine sul resto del mercato: "Arriverà un attaccante, ma non ho mai detto che prenderemo Ronaldinho. È uno dei tanti che stiamo seguendo, ma un pò meno degli altri. Se vogliamo tornare a giocare con una mezzapunta e due punte, è più probabile che arrivi un attaccante vero. Eto'o? Il Barcellona sa che ci interessa, ma abbiamo cifre oltre le quali è assurdo andare. Facciamo un'offerta, se troveremo un accordo bene".

Chiusura su Ancelotti: "Posto che resta al Milan e su questo non c'è dubbio, quando ho fatto la battuta che lo avrei scambiato con Drogba è stato lui stesso che mi ha ricordato che il Parma per liberarlo dalla Reggiana pagò con un calciatore, così come ha fatto il Chelsea per liberare Mourinho dal Porto".

So why did we sign Ronaldo? Or even Zambrotta? His last 2 seasons in Barcelona were really poor.

Found this pic, and I dunno where to put it. But it's a flashback on Galliani:



Anyway, let's wait and see if Barcelona low the price for Eto'o. 9M/euros for Zambrotta seems OK for me but I don't expect any less than 35 for the african foward.

No... but I have realized that a motivated R20 is a thing of the past... if you want to live with YouTube compilations it's your choice.

There's no way one can tell he doesn't have the motivation to play football again. how can you people say these weird things about him because of one bad season. if it's a written law, then we should throw Pirlo out of Milan. he had a disastrous season and he doesn't have the motivation to play football again makes sense? NO.

Ronaldinho never was a great professional. There's even this clause in his contract that allows him to skip training sessions for sponsorship matters... but ever since he won the CL with Barcelona (05/06) he's been on the decline. Sure, he scored more goals in the season after that but not crucial goals and he did not play well in any of Barcelona's big matches! Goals are not the only indicator of how well you're playing anyway... Seedorf scored more than he ever has this season, is he better than he was five seasons ago? Hell no! This season, Ronaldinho's been mediocre whenever he played. And this is not just a motivation problem. It's because these past two years he's been partying like a teenager! Also, I did not say that he will never be back again, I said that I doubt he will and that buying him is a risk that I wouldn't take...

And... last time I checked Pirlo has at least been going to all the training sessions... I can't see how you can compare the two... he had a bad season yeah and maybe he's not motivated any more but in my view his case is certainly not the same as Adriano's and Ronadinho's.

The thing is, there's only two players we could use in such an imaginary deal... Kaka and Pato. And these two I would not exchange not even for Zidane!

If we want to pay money why not Ibra ?

Inter would not sell to us... the only way we could get Ibra is through Barcelona... they would swap Eto'o with the Swede and then we would do a swap deal with them. The thing is, there's only two players we could use in such an imaginary deal... Kaka and Pato. And these two I would not exchange not even for Zidane!

By the way... Porty, where would you rather see Ibra, in Inter or in Barcelona. Between the devil and the deep blue sea!

Why don't Chelsea just get Torres or United Gerrard? Or Liverpool solve their wing players with Cristiano Ronaldo? ...
You think Ibra is that stupid to go from Inter to Barcelona? Specially now having Mou as his coach.

Ibrahimovic will only leave Inter for Real Madrid. Maybe when Ruud/Raul retire.

Milan? We missed our oportunity. Like always.

Any news on sammarco? I heard Gallani saying he would buy the half from Sampdoria.

Pato for Zidane? Hmh, were can I sign?

yeah we missed Opportunity..Just Imagine Ibrahimovic with Kaka playing together..That's danger..Now that we have the chance to get Etoo or Ronaldinho or both to play along Kaka we better do..cause we'll reap the result later regretting why didn't buy them..I mean we always have reaped the rewards regretting..

I might be a bit off...but I thought, Eto'o and Pato were both similar players. Small, quick on their feet etc.

That said...Eto'o would be interesting with Borriello. Another thing, isn't Eto'o a risk considering he could face the same problem as Oli. That he can't handle the physicality of the Serie A? Remember Oli was also making good runs and shots etc...but couldn't hold onto the ball for nuts.

I know a few months back, LaPalma and I were having an argument over Eto'o or Drog...and I wanted Eto'o...but now with Pato in, and Kaka set to play as SS, I'd rather have Drog.

Eto'o as nothing to do with Pato. He's much stronger than the brazillian.
On the other hand Pato has way more tecnique (who could do the SS à la Zlatan).

Kaka' will play as OM in the 4-3-1-2. Ancelotti wants this system back.

Who wants his formation back?! You probably meant berlusca right?

The Ancelotti-Drogba swap is confirmed by Galliani again ...
Maggio will probably end up in Napoli or villa and abate could go to Doria.
Atalanta wants to keep Coppola and Abbiatti is the favourite one to be a starter next season!

About the Eto'o-Drogba thing, I think the ideal is to have both with Pato and Borri as back-up, but I agree with Porty one of them will end with Mourinho ... By the way, Galliani (I know you guys don't listen/trust what he says, but still) said that Pato will be a starter next season ...

lol agree with much of what you say but since when did coaches get used in transfers LOL!  If we do that we'll be the first club to swap coach for player.

You may be surprised to hear that Carlo was involved in a similar deal back in 1996 when he became Parma coach 

LOL!  okay one question how old are you.  If you know that far back you are def 30+

Im 18 if you wanted to know.

Hugo Lloris is officially a Lyon player (8.5M€). He signed a 5 years contract.

Balotelli said that if he doesn't play he'll go away and there are reports suggesting that Adriano will be loaned to Napoli, in exchange la merda will have first option for Hamsik and Lavezzi.

Inter may have won the Scudetto for a third year in succession, but according to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), they are only the second best team in Italy.

The IFFHS conducted a complex study of statistics and other calculations for the period June 2007 to May 2008 to find out who were the top 100 teams in world football.

Manchester United were ranked first, with Argentine-giants Boca Juniors in second, and Chelsea in third.

The highest ranked Italian team is Roma down in seventh, while Inter, despite lifting the Scudetto could only manage 10th.

AC Milan are in 17th position, below Fiorentina in 13th, Sampdoria are 55th, Lazio 64th, and somewhat surprisingly Juventus only just break into the top 100 in 91st place.
