i'd say overall this isnt a bad transfer for us so far.

20m is much better than the 70-80 million we offered last year (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) so i must say if the reports are true this is a bargain for us.

we do have a reputation of rekindling washed out stars so i think R20 has a good chance reviving his career here especially with all the brazilian influence.

we desperately needed a transfer of this magnitude. even tho he's career is in tatters this still remains a big transfer.

my only worry is kaka and r20 playing together... ya you could argue play kaka behind pato and ronaldinho (played as a SS) but because of their tendencies it will end up looking like a christmas tree formation and i dont feel like pato is that comfortable up front a lone and i can see kaka and ronaldinho getting in each others way. anyways it remains to be seen...

also i'm a little worried that we're becoming too brazlian, i really do hope we pick up an italian or two (barzagli would be great! or rosina! i could name a few more...) coupled with zambrotta who seems to be coming as well.

also i'd like to see us getting another striker in the relm of gomez, berbatov and not sheva which is only going to hinder us inn the long run. a case of two steps forward, three steps back...

lone out gila and sell boriello and we should be doing fine up front.

Yeah, that was something (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)



I don't think Milan ever offered money for R10 since he was not up to sale, Laporta said (last year) that Milan wanted Eto'o not R10.

For what it's worth I think R10 and Kaka can play only with one striker, and it has to be someone like Gila/Pippo/Borriello/Drogba of course the best would be Drogba but he'll probably end up with the merda so ...
I honestly think it would be a bad move for Milan to buy him, especially is Adriano goes back to the other side, it would be like party every night, with might even fear for R99 (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Now that the fans are let down is the best time to announce the Ronaldinho deal...

allegedly nothing formal. but silvio stated on numerous occasions they would offer that much for him. if barca were willing they would have offered him too us and we would have accepted the fee

wow this stinks for Barca. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) They would have gotten 70 million last summer and now they would be lucky to get 30 (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

They're stupid! they thought he would renew his contract but he didn't!

im happy but worried.
is carletto gonna be able to make a formation in which kaka and dinho be capable to play 100% at there best?

Well, a lot of that depends on whether Carletto is still our coach at the end of the season? It's 50-50 at the moment. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

You still doubt that (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Can't help it. I'm a happy-go-lucky, 50-50, middle of the road guy. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) Though I see, other members are not. Some really want change, while others are ready to die for Carlo. But what's important is the fact that whatever happens it will be for the best. Ancelotti's had a fun ride in his years at the helm, no one can deny that.

We'll, of course, see which way the camel sits by the end of August. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

You got me wrong (or I didn't understand) but I'm not a fan of Carlo at all, it's just that our stupid management said they'll keep him even through intertoto cup so ...

Most probably you misunderstood. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I respect your opinion, and besides my post wasn't aimed at anyone specific (they very rarely are). As for me? I won't mind seeing Carlo at the top next season, but I still believe a change of coach/strategy is very much in order.

@Acid.

I don't get what you're trying to say in your sig. There truly were two signings in January. One was Pato (of course) and the other one was Ronaldo... isn't it pretty obvious?

Lol, Tennie, make sure you add this in the "Quotes of the Week" thread. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

And just in case you were serious, dst, - which I doubt you were - Galliani meant January 2008. And if I'm not mistaken Ronaldo came in January 2007. Same goes for Pato. We didn't sign anyone in the winter transfer window this year.

But oh well, who are we to argue with Galliani. I can't believe we've had a guy like Galliani at the top of Milan for all these years. As Porty would say: "He's a F Joke". We should have gone for guys like Torres, Benzama (considering his idol, Ronaldo, is with us), Ribery, and other youung/upcoming players. Even if it cost 100 million, cause we would have earned all of it back by winning in Europe. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
