I'm going to criticize a bad source if I see one, whoever posts it. Because blindly believing everything that's printed is not necessarily very productive. Using a little basic analysis on who's more likely correct in what they say will probably help people get a clearer picture of what's going on.

Pal, you should study diplomathics and paleography a bit.

Well, every time there's a discussion started considering the validity of souces, one should consider using his knowledge of paleography and especially diplomatics, that's what my professor always says...

Then be prepared for comments that articles are unreliable and not worthy of further discussion.

One source that IS generally reliable for Milan news is Mediaset. It's based in Milan and is owned by the Berlusconi family.

On Mediaset's website today there's an interview with Borriello, who stated that he has started running again and hopes to be available the last few games of the season. This is something I'd consider reliable. (Especially since the interview was given to a journalist who is one of perhaps 5 people not named Berlusconi who have stock in AC Milan).

"Ve lo dico ufficialmente: Leonardo non farà l'allenatore del Milan, ma l'anno prossimo resterà un dirigente". Sono parole di Adriano Galliani, che al suo arrivo in Lega a Milano ha cercato di mettere fine alle voci che vorrebbero il brasiliano la prossima stagione sulla panchina rossonera al posto di Carlo Ancelotti. L'a.d. del Milan ha anche chiuso a un possibile arrivo di Fabio Cannavaro dal Real Madrid: "Voi mi insegnate che un difensore a 35 anni è in fase calante...".

The AD of Milan also shot down the possible arrival of Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid: "You're telling me that a 35 year old defender in his waning years..."]

i think frey is amazing nd the only reson ceasar and cassillas get more attention is because of the teams they play on are alot more dominant

"You're telling me that a 35 year old defender in his waning years..."

Guys....I really dream of Santacroce joining Milan...really

The more I see of him the more I think he's overrated, but it's really too early to say such words.

Santacroce (/Mexes) may not be Serie A's best CB but he's an improvement over Kaladze, Senderos, and maybe an always unavailable Nesta.

We're not in a position to reject these defenders when some of our own defenders suck. sure, if we had a healthy Nesta and a 35yo Maldini, signing these kids wouldn't have made sense, but now...

if anyone is overrated i'd say it's mexes, he's been brutal every game i've seen him play this season.

i am having the same thing with mexes

There's as much chance of me playing for Milan next season as Evans, United won't sell him. Agger would be nice though.

As long as he's not allowed to drive anywhere.

How about chaining a camping wagon to the team bus?

When he was busted for DUI last week, he said he'd had only one beer before getting behind the wheel. That was also probably Carlo's excuse for fielding Seedorf against Napoli.

Are you really a chievo fan, cuz that's awsome!

Keirrison rejects Milan

Barcelona and AC Milan target, Palmeiras forward Keirrison has declared: "Milan's interest is understandable, but I don't want to leave Palmeiras at the moment".

Agger: "Contract? There's time"

"I have a lot of time ahead, because my contract does not expire at the end of season, therefore it would be stupid to run." The Liverpool defender Daniel Agger (24) prefers a renewal of contract with the Reds than move to another club. An attitude that want to be malicious, it could also be a docile wink to other clubs: "I have never hidden the fact that I would like to play abroad someday, but I enjoy playing for this club too."

Marchetti rules out Milan move

Cagliari goalkeeper Federico Marchetti has been one of the standout performers in Italy this season, catching the eye of Milan scouts. However, the player himself has denied the possibility that he will join the Rossoneri.

"I'm going to Milan? No, I'm staying here. I have a four-year contract and I will continue to wear this kit," he stated at an event called 'Lo stadio dei bambini' at an elementary school in Sardinia, according to Datasport.

"I owe everything to Cagliari. Let's just finish this year in the best way possible. The newspapers write so many things, but I have not communicated anything."

Marchetti has been a major factor in the Sardinian's successful season so far as they currently sit in seventh position in the table.

"We expect to do well in the final nine matches. We will see what we can do. We respect everyone, but fear no one, because we have already shown that we can play as well as the big teams," he concluded.

The 26-year-old is currently on loan at Cagliari from Albinoleffe, but the island side will exercise their option to buy him outright for €1.25 million at the end of the campaign.

JeanLouis Triaud: "We want to retain Gourcuff, but he will choose"


High-flying Girondins de Bordeaux are already planning their summer transfer charge, despite still battling for the Ligue 1 title with Olympique Lyonnais and a host of other clubs.

Laurent Blanc’s men have made it their priority to keep Yoann Gourcuff, who is currently on loan at the club from Milan, but they have also been linked with moves for Portsmouth forward John Utaka as well as Le Mans goalkeeper Yohann Pele.

Bordeaux’s most pressing concern is over Yoann Gourcuff; the French international star currently on loan at the club from Milan. Last summer a deal was signed that means if the Aquitaine club pay Milan €13 million and the player agrees, the burgeoning midfielder will be theirs. “The coach wants to keep him, as do the leaders,” president Jean-Louis Triaud explained to Aujourd'hui Sport. “The majority shareholders of the club have said that they will help us achieve our goals.

“The World Cup is happening [next summer] and we [France] will probably qualify. He will probably be selected so now is not the best time to change clubs.

“There are plenty of arguments for Bordeaux; we have many advantages for Gourcuff.”

Adding depth to the offensive sector is another priority for les Girondins, who are chasing out-of-favour Portsmouth man John Utaka. “It has been suggested,” the Bordeaux president conceded. “I am amazed that he is only 27. No decision has been taken but I know Utaka wants to return to France.”

Bordeaux’s final aim is to find a replacement for aging goalkeeper Ulrich Rame. Yohann Pele, Le Mans’ No. 1, has been linked with many top clubs, including Bordeaux. When quizzed about the rumours les Girondins’ president simply stated, “We have not made a proposal.”

In addition Laurent Blanc's side have also been linked with Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa by Football365.

Bordeaux are clearly aiming to work quickly when the season is over to assemble their squad for next term’s campaign, be it in the Champions League, Europa League or not in Europe at all.

Adriano To Milan Is Not A Possibility - Agent

Earlier on Thursday, Goal.com reported that Adriano had made statements regarding his future, suggesting he is uncertain whether he will renew his contract with Inter that expires in June 2010.

The Brazilian's agent, Gilmar Rinaldi, claims he does not know if Adriano will leave the club, but insists that it will not move to city-rivals AC Milan.

"In these past few days I have spoken to Adriano, but not about his future," he told Telelombardia.

"Fifteen days ago I spoke to Inter and now we are waiting. In Italy, the media say many things, but none of the are new. Something with Milan? It doesn't exist."

The 27-year-old has been in and out of the line-up this season, at times finding himself in coach Jose Mourinho's doghouse due to his tendency to party into the night and show up late for training. Overall, he has scored seven times in 22 appearances.
