Nothing new in those paragraphs, basically it says that Adebayor is too expensive for Milan, Gallani asked Berlusconi for money but he didn't get it. I don't speak italian but I freetranslated it and I tried to figure it out

I'm too tired to easily parse the mixture of Italian and (computer translated?) English but I think Darunia has the basics.

Benitez said himself, if a bigger club comes in after a player, you have to let him go to further his career. Go on then Rafa, Chelsea are bigger, better and richer than you, sell up!


I can't see Milan spending that much, but y'never know, would be nice. Haven't seen much of him personally, but I've heard very good things about it.


We're being linked with every RB on earth at the moment.. it's too much to pay for him anyway.


I stand by my earlier comments about him that I don't think he can be a dependable striker at the very highest level. But I like him, so I will be very pleased with this signing.

He is a DMF no?

I believe he's the Xabi Alonso type. Easily mistaken for the Pirlo type.

If he can replace Pirlo,and Brocchi and Emo both out,
I'd welcome him.

But if he is a pure DMF,and any of those 2 idiot staying,
I'd be very pissed!!

We are over covered in that department i reckon.

If Mutu is the guy then I would accept it. I wouldn't put him in the WC category but he sure as hell beats the idea of bringing in Adebayor

But since we are lessening expectations on the striker front we should at least look into a midfielder that could sub in for Pirlo or even taking Ambro's place, imo best options would be one of the Portugese duo, Veloso or Moutinho. Personally I would prefer Moutinho since he can play in any position of our midfield, even Kaka or Seedorf if neccissary

So am I the only one who does not really like Mutu? He's good but come on...
He is certainly not THAT good and we do need someone THAT good!
I'd prefer Huntelaar or another box striker. That's the kind of player that would form a great duo with Pato in my view.
Anyway... supposedly we get Mutu. It's still not enough. We need van der Vaart. That guys is a very good player. He will replace Seedorf and he can also play in Kaka's and Mutu's position if one of them is not available.
But I still wonder why I'm day-dreaming like this? Mourinho would probably say I'm pirla. It's not going to happen, especially the Seedorf being replaced part...


That would a rip-off!! He is in no way worth that much!


Ronaldinho also coming? There's a bigger chance Kaladze will go two consecutive games without making a grave mistake...


He needs money. He has to give 12m to Chelsea for the drugs incident even if he has appealed to that... he may win the appeal but right now his future is uncertain.


I don't think we could lure any player away from Fiorentina right now. And that is because Milan does not seem like a club with great ambitions right now. Before you people start cursing me, I need to say that this is how I see it and there's no point telling me it's not this way cause that's not going to change... I know that this might might be untrue though as we don't know what's going on under the table.

I like the way that sounds. But there is not fight that's not worth fighting.


True.





That's a rip-off as well. I'm glad we are not the only ones doing shitty deals!

I don't think Mutu will be our only signing in attack after all those 'star striker' talk.

Well, if we're dumping all star players, then I'd rather we took our 25 mill for Eto'o and did Mutu+Cassano+Cigarini and exchange Simic somewhere.

Maybe sell Brocchi and put in an extra 5 million to get Boruc. This isn't too ambitious and with what we've got on the bench, good enough for Serie A.

i don't want mutu at all...i rather see aubuyemang

WITH MUTU I WILL STILL WELCOME HUNTELAAR THE I DEAL PARTNER FOR BOTH MUTU AND PATO. DIEGO IN SEEDORF PLACE AFTER NEXT SEASON.

I have some doubts about Mutu , he is not like a goal scoring machine but Eto'o is , but also i must say that Mutu's mistakes in front of goal are very few specially with great Mf's his goal average will be more , physically he is a bit strange but i think in Milan he will eat enough !!!!!!!

Mutu is a good player. I wouldnt WC him, but for our transition period i think he is good enough. We really cant attract any better strikers than him at the moment.

The Veloso talks are positive. I havent seen him too much but there are vague resembelances of a mix of Gattuso and Pirlo. We should also go for Cigarini, his market value is around £5m, very reasonable considering his massive potential and ability

EDIT: Galliani has said Darmian has been promoted. Thats our Simic replacement then

i dont understand we dont pay 30 or 40 for Ade or Eto'o , how are we looking for Veloso with 20 when we know that he will not be the first choice and why we dont pay attention to Moutinho instead of Veloso , Moutinho is the best hire for Pirlo ?????

I don't get what the management is thinking. Veloso? Really? He is a great DM. But we need a great AM. What the hell are we gonna do with all those defensive mids and no proper sub for Kaka...

I agree with Armisse. Moutinho is the better choice and he looks like he can perform well under pressure which is a must for a Milan player.

Ronaldinho To Milan Still Possible - Bronzetti

Milan transfer consultant and FIFA super agent Ernesto Bronzetti admits Ronaldinho could still move to the Rossoneri. And he is convinced that one of either Adebayor, Drogba or Eto'o will sign for the Milanese club.

Milan have been interested in the Brazilian play maker ever since the player dazzled San Siro during the 2006 Champions League semi final.

'Dinho is on his way out of Camp Nou following a miserable season last term where he was completely dropped from the squad.

Milan and Manchester City have been lying in wait but Chelsea have also joined the race to sign him. The Italians had their initial bid for the player turned down by Joan Laporta. City meanwhile doesn't really appeal to the player where as Chelsea still haven't made any real move for him.

The door is wide open for 'Dinho who could still move to any of the three clubs. The rumour mill is spinning out of control but Milan are staying calm and they believe Ronaldinho's capture is still on.

“Ronaldinho? It seems as if there is an agreement with Manchester City but I think it's absurd, ” Bronzetti told Sky Italia TG24

“However, the player is hoping that a deal can be reached with Milan or maybe even Chelsea or Inter.”

Bronzetti also revealed that Milan are still pushing for Arsenal's Emanuel Adebayor and Chelsea's Didier Drogba.

“The objectives are still Adebayor, Drogba or Eto'o and I am convinced one of the three will arrive,” concluded Bronzetti

man tired of all these rumours lets just wait for for atleast till the euro finishe...

From ESPNSOCCERNET.COM

Milan admit defeat in Ronaldinho transfer race

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has admitted the club cannot compete financially with Manchester City in the race to sign Ronaldinho.


Galliani said Milan and other Italian clubs are being squeezed out of several transfer moves as clubs in England, Spain and Germany have more money to spend.


'I cannot ignore that Italian football is now in fourth position in Europe behind England, Spain and Germany,' he said in Gazzetta dello Sport.

'We simply cannot compete with certain figures anymore.

'Manchester City have offered the Brazilian (Ronaldinho) 12 million euros (£9.5million) a year. We can only compete with that if they (Barcelona) give him away for free.'

sad... truly sad... but ast least there is some truth behind it. The only way for us to compete against the big teams now in the market is to have someone willing to spend big like abramov

There is money everywhere , but every other place can be Milan for Ronaldinho ? I dont think he is eager that much to play in man city even for 20 to climb up them !!!!! Chelsea maybe but not every where

I am not going to shed any tears over missing out on Ronaldinho

I do cry every night over the loss of Maggio though

Mutu rumors seems are fading as Della Vale said that they have a very good relationship with him and he is a flag and they will do everything to keep him !

Galliani also said that Milan can sign R10 only for free

Rise apparently is in Rome to sign a contract with la Roma!

And others can learn marketing

This is beyond ridiculous...

We have no chance of winning the Scudetto IF those are our only new signings. it doesn't take an Einstein to realize that [though for some it does]...

he is simply back to his rubbish and soon i wont be surpirsed if he says that milan dont need a stker

If we cant afford to break the bank for superstars we should concentrate on developing our own youth players. Instead of selling people like Di Gennaro and Marzoratti we should keep them. Promising players should not be offloaded at the first opportunity

[Scouser Alert ] John Arne Riise has signed for Roma. 5 million to the Scousers and a 3 year contract with annual salary of roughly 2.8 million euros. [/ Scouser Alert ]

Sampdoria director general Beppe Marotta has confirmed that AC Milan and Inter have both enquired about Antonio Cassano, but he says the club have no intention of selling him at the moment.

his release is 15. If juve/inter want him theres nothing samp can do. I dont think we'll get him as we have rejected him so many times already.

Players have release clauses in Serie A?

people have release clauses all over the world. Like yours max is 12 walnuts

!!


Oh my, now I'll have to see that mug every week!

It isnt mandatory like in Spain. I think Cassano may have requested this to prevent Doria from keeping onto him if/when a bigger club comes calling

A rip-off, really? I think for 7m euro's it's a good deal. Maybe you never saw him for Reading? With him they finished top 10, without him they got relegated. Obviously he was never going to be good enough to play for Chelsea, but I think it's great for a team like us. It doesn't really matter who we buy, Martin O'Neill has the ability to turn a chimp into a top player!

He's already 25 and has been sitting on the bench for a whole season. I exaggerated when I said it's a rip-off but I still would not pay more than 5m for him. And no, I never saw him play for Reading. Was he that good, cause his record is not at impressive.

He was good for Reading, and they collapsed without him. His record? It's hard to judge a box-to-box midfielder type on a record or anything.

aww ok that makes sense, i was wondering!
thanks for clearing that up!

i saw this comment on goal.com in response to this and would like to post it. This imo is actually the most accurate interpretation i've seen of milan's style in the market and philosophy.



if fabio somehow reads this i tip my hat to you, world class post.

^ the problem is...young players don't care about that anymore

only older players

+8000000
I tried to say the exact same thing even before we sign Flamini.
This DMF obsession really doesnt make any sense.




Chill out crazy!! (sounds weird)
We already agreed that Galliani is a F liar before.
Why are we taking this seriously?




He's good dst, but not good enough for Chelsea.
I agree with kurt, you cant let the record deceive you.
He played a major role in Reading's survival.

He is a midfielder? I saw him twice with Chelsea and I thought he played as a second forward... never mind...

No he's a box to box. Decent enough.He kinda though he'd be second choice in Chelsea's mid-field that comprised Ballack, Lampard and Essien.

For Villa...I suppose a mid-field of Barry and Reo-Coker will give him some time to play. Good purchase for kurt's team. But Newcastle will kill them anyway.

http://www.calciomercato.com/index.php?c=21&a=85290

OK. It's official. Galliani has gone mental. His words today:

"If Adebayor doesn't come, no foward will come. We got a NO from Arsenal but anything can happen. There's no negotiations for Eto'o or Drogba.
"Mutu and Cassano? Absolutely not. For second-striker we've Pato and it's enough."

He said something like: "Huntelaar? I don't think he's better than Borriello." to Corrierre today too.

^^^^^



So then whatever someone posted about not getting money is true. Silvio really has shut down the purse strings. We're officially in the same boat as Valencia or whoever.

Next we'll become a selling club.

as i said i wont be surprised that if he says no stiker is coming so am not surprised and even if we get someone he will be ..... and look at his huntleear comments we are doomed

we will have 4 stiker now pato,pippo,borrillio,kaka ( he has shown how gud he is as a stiker) and then there wil be paloschi who can be a back up....
