An excellent Gkeeper !!

While he's a decent keeper, I'd like someone a bit younger than that. Although, there's probably no truth to it. We've been linked to just about every GK and RB on earth in the last few weeks.

In the 'never gonna happen' category, the Italian press is reporting that the English press have said that Grant wants to sign Messi and Kaka next year for Chelsea.

Not one of the 3 people you mentioned will ve at Chelsea next season, in my opinion.

he seemed confident and was also siad that one of them will play in chelsea next season

I want Gerrard. Not that I like him so much, I just want to see most (if not all) the Liverpudlians crying!!

He should leave, they are never going to win the EPL anyway!

Silvio Berlusconi has recently declared that he does not intend to stop his project of reinforcing Milan with Ronaldinho and Shevchenko. He did not specify who this "mystery striker" shall be but according to the Spanish press, the player in question is Brazilian Robinho (25) who appears to be on the market.

hmmmm R10,pato,kaka,and him brazil 2010

this seems like a response by catlan papers to yesterdays AS thing of deco and all

Yep. That or Robinho wants a pay raise.

yea true he have demanded a pay rise so rite now we are the team in the market so just link everyone with us

so we'll have sheva ronaldinho forsure.

so now we'll need

about 5 more players

rb: de silv
goalie: frey
Lb: zambo?
striker: it comes down to boriello/berba/gomez
defender: mexes(we'll get him i think)

I assume its that.

Its nice to see that Silvio isnt gonna stop with (possibly) Sheva and Ronaldinho

not yet for sure

and as for stiker it could be that beast also strong CF

yeah but i think hes sick of the way we've been playing this season. After the arsenal game he hasn't been to a single game. That loss must have really hurt him deep inside.

I didn't know that but honestly it doesn't change my mind he's more reliable than Dida right now, his only default is that he like to hang around the penalty spot

Eh. Saw him live in the Madrid derby in January and in honesty, he didn't impress. If we're bringing back one of our on-loan keepers, I'd prefer Coppola over the others.

However, I think Milan will end up buying a keeper.

Abbiati isnt that great. I saw him against Villareal (maybe) and he looked pretty shaky. His handling was pretty poor too. Coppola is pretty average and dosent seem better than 3rd or 2nd keeper

Guys I didn't say he was great or even good, I just said I prefer him to the others we already have, that's all

Pas de probleme, Morgoth. It's just that I don't.

Le grandi d'Europa, Inter inclusa, non avranno vita facile nella corsa all'attaccante del Lione Karim Benzema. Il rappresentante del giocatore, Karim Djaziri, ha infatti dichiarato a 'Marca' che il giocatore non ha nessuna intenzione di muoversi da Lione per almeno un'altra stagione: "Benzema non lascerà Lione. So che c'è l'interesse di molti club, ma lui è comunque giovane e vuole restare per fare esperienza. La prossima stagione resterà al Lione, poi vedremo". L'agente dell'attacante ha anche chiarito di non aver incontrato il ds del Barcellona Begiristain. Infinte Djaziri conclude: "Benzema non vuoe andarsene e per questo qualche settimana fa abbiamo firmato il rinnovo del contratto. Non c'è clusola di rescissione, Benzema non vuole andarsene e il Lione non vuole vendere".

Benzema's agent said to "marca" that he'll stay another year at Lyon to gain more experience, he wants to renew his contract, and he didn't meet with Barça's Begiristain.

According to GDS;Our mercato for next summer;

Frey,Mexes,Zambrotta,Flamini,Ronaldinho and Shevchenko.

Borriello and Marzoratti returns.

Dida,Cafu,Simic,Serginho,Emerson,Gourcuf,Gilardino leaves

Ronaldo in standby.

Summary
Frey is the favourite for the gk and also linked with other gks,as lately followed Gomes too.Also Lloris,Diego Alves and Boruc was in their list.For defence,Zambrotta's coming for sure,as he is the WC player in defence that Berlu talked about 2 days ago.The question's on GK depents on selling Abbiati,Dida,Stotari and Coppola before signing Frey or others.Marzoratti is returning from Empoli,also we are leaving Pozzi to Empoli for that.Sheva's return is certain,in addition the powerful centre striker could arrive as well.

Frey,Oddo,Nesta,Mexes,Zambrotta,Gattuso,Pirlo,Flamini,Kaka,Ronaldinho,Shevchenko
.

Marca back to their stuff R10 to milan kaka to real

He has seen Milan loose in three finals so it isn't as bit a blow ... I assume he was more preoccupied in his campaign, I'm pretty sure he'll be there for the derby

Diarra has bee linked with us but it seems impossible

i just want Modric, for others i dont care, it may be anyone, as long as we sign Modric

marca reported that Abbiatti is coming back to Italy (Milan or Sampdoria) at the end of the season!

RVN could be a great signing for us and it's easily doable!

Not a big fan of Ruud Van Horseface, personally. He's a box striker too, and, well, we've got one of those.

Who are you referring to Gila or Pippo?
I think if Gila leave (and there's 70% chance that he will) RVN could be a great replacement, as for Pippo well I think we'll agree that we need a replacement for him, and in my opinion Gomez is the one, but we'll probably wait till he reaches the 30's

I'd very much pass on RVN, the least because of his age. He won't be a long term solution. If there is one box striker (and Dutch player) we need it's got to be someone like Huntelaar - nothing less.

1. RvN instead of Sheva, any time.

2. RvN to replace Pippo, any time.

3. RvN to replace Gila, ANY TIME.

3. RvN to be our main signing in attack... no, thanks.

Now that cold be a very good news

Torres future under threat

Get to work Fester, right now

I'm not bothered about signing old players if they're quality. It's signing players like Favalli that annoy me!

If Torres, or Benzema is a Milan player, then i think milanfan.com will change its name to happiestfan.com

Pray to god it will happen someday!!

he wont leave. Arabs will buy it in the summer and liverfool's debt will be wiped.

+1

do we really need a big name striker signing?Considering mostly we play with 4-3-2-1 next year,wouldnt be better signing a complete CM and World Class Rb instead of a striker?Pato has been exceptional,same goes for Paloschi,i see the first times of Benzema in Paloschi,in addition he still has rooms for improvement.Pato,Paloschi,Sheva and inzaghi are enough for striker department if you ask me.Milan's problem could be side backs and in central midfield,as Seedorf is 32 years old and a player who has never been a consistent player,also considering he even doesnt have the continuity in the game,Ambrossini is good but he adds little to our game.A complete midfielder like Aquilani or Moutinho or Hamsky would provide us what we lacked in midfield,also Side backs,i think we should sign one more SB except Zambrotta as the side backs are the most important part of our game,as we need a width on the flanks to provide to Kaka spaces that he needs,also opening up the defences,even Players like Lell or Clerc are welcomed,hope to sign Bastian and Lell from Bayern,they would be a bargain.

maybe we are the only team in the world which is lacking squad deep with +27players,Frey,Mexes,Flamini,Dinho and Zambrotta are great additions but not enough,we should add at least one SB and one complete midfielder,also Scweinsteiger would be good additon,also considering his versatility.

If I could pick any young Italian mid to sign, it'd probably be Fiorentina's Montolivo. Don't think it's likely but he'd be my pick. I like Aquilani too, and that one may be more possible, given the apparent friction between him and...someone (coach? owner?) at Roma.

I just don't see why you think they are complete, they're talented, young, but complete??? It takes someone like De Rossi to be complete

complete midfielder?he is the one who can play 2 part of the game and has continuity,just look at Aquilani,he can defend,he is skilled,quick,read the game well,has work rate and influence,his shoots are good,he can be the playmaker when needed,he can play in high tempo,pressing and his dribblings are nice,complete midfielder as he has everything.

this is why i want to see;

Gattuso-----Pirlo---------Aquilani ----

I'm not sure about his defending qualities, but how can he have everything and is not even in the starting 11?
Anywho, this is my feeling about him, feel free to disagree

Doesn't it feel great when two new members have a discussion and disagree? Keep going guys, shades of R7 vs Kurt here, I tell ya!

Anyhoo, a complete midfielder takes time to develop, that's why the best ones always peek at the age of 27-30, for example Pirlo, Gerrard, Totti (for Italy). They may get to the top early (as in the case of Kaka), but they're far from a finished article until they enter the fourth decade. Their skills, strength, and experience reaches a climax.

This is when the are at their best. As in fine wine.

Milan-Juve battle for Torres
Saturday 19 April, 2008

Liverpool could be forced to sell Fernando Torres – alerting Milan and Juventus – but the Rossoneri are already targeting Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Anfield Road in-fighting between owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks is just one of their problems, as ‘The Times’ claims there is a serious financial short-fall.

“Liverpool entered into an 18-month loan agreement with interest of 9 per cent - £2.8 million a year - with a letter of credit to pay back the £31.5 million at the end of the period,” says the newspaper.

”Should Liverpool be unable to pay back or refinance the loan, banks could force the sale of Torres and Ryan Babel, who was also included in the smaller refinancing package.”

If hitman Torres becomes available for around £27.5m, he will be a prime target for both Juventus and Milan, who are on the lookout for a striker.

Rossoneri President Silvio Berlusconi has already stated his club will sign Ronaldinho, Andriy Shevchenko “plus an old-style centre-forward.”

Up until now it was thought to be Chelsea’s Didier Drogba, but new reports around Europe today suggest it is Real Madrid’s van Nistelrooy.

He is relatively cheap compared to Drogba and Real would be happy to release him because they are looking to sign the Ivory Coast international as a replacement.

Milan and Juve are also said to be at loggerheads over another Premier League player, as the San Siro giants assumed they had a deal for out of contract Mathieu Flamini.

They have offered the midfielder a five-year contract worth £3.5m per season, but Juve director of sport Alessio Secco has reportedly flown out to England to table a bid of his own and, while he’s there, seek news on the Liverpool situation.

i dont think this will happen but still who knows

Aquilani is cute. Works for me! [/girlie comment]

I still prefer Montolivo, but there's no indication that he's going anywhere.

Montolivo, Aquilani or Hamsik would be great!

What we should do though is get Montolivo/Aquilani AND Hamsik while letting go of Emerson and Brocchi.

*shakes dst* *shakes dst*

WAKE UP !!!!

True, to be compete a player needs experience too.
