QUOTE (Giancarlo @ Aug 14 2008, 04:32 PM)  I wouldn't count on that. We made them look like clowns when they spent all that money on Sheva and he flopped... no one makes Milan look like clowns. Especially not the team funded by dirty Russian oil. It's on! It's the blue-revenge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Don't talk about Abramovich and Chelsea's money... we did the exact same thing during the late-80's when Silvio took over the club. |

QUOTE (Giancarlo @ Aug 14 2008, 04:01 PM) Darmian I've seen a few times... I think he's pretty good... Digao needs more playing time and that's what he'll get now. As far as those two being better... it's hard to say. I really like Alex Silva and he's been quite impressive with the Olympic team. The reason I can't say is that... Alex Silva does get regular playing time, and Ivanovic hasn't. And sadly, Ivanovic won't get any (or much) playing time this upcoming season for Chelsea either. I wish there was a way he could get out of his contract... Couldn't he have done that to come to Milan..These days when players sign a new contract, it really doesn't matter |

I'm not sure Ivanovic is good enough for us to get THAT upset about the contract falling through.
That said, Milan DO need another CB, hopefull a good one. |

I don't care if Ivanovic talks have stalled (he's not the best defender on planet after all, there are alternatives (Alex Silva maybe?)), we have sent Digao and Simic out, someone WILL come, or we're really really really screwed up. I'm sure the management don't want the latter.
QUOTE (acid911 @ Aug 14 2008, 01:14 PM) Irrespective of whether we get him or not, the thing that matters here is the management got enough of a kick in the right place that they are looking to make changes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) That's far more important after how we ended our last season. Remember the last couple of transfer windows, we'd consider ourselves lucky if we signed more than one player. Last summer we only signed Pato, I reckon. We built ourselves half a team this year. Of course, I'd much rather like we don't fall into these sorts of messes in the first place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) And that's the reason why Ivanovic would be a good add to our squad. (Like I_Rossoneri would say) this man speaks the truth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

QUOTE According to Sportmediaset, Chelsea don’t want to offer the Diavolo the option to make the deal permanent next year – a clause that the world champions saw as pivotal. I knew something like this would get in the way. pirates. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) |

I'm gonna chill on this one ... Milan in the closing stages of the transfer window are always shady, but surely they won't leave the team with not enough options in the back, especially after the Chelsea match.
WIndow closes on the 31st , its still the 14th .. almost half a month to go |

I think Milan will get Alex Silva right now... because his costs are much lower... and he can be bought outright. Was Simic's transfer fee ever published? |

They just let him go to the team which appealed to Dario the most. ..speaking of Monaco..they actually now have 4 croats playing there - Pokrivač, Šimić, Babić (Betis) and Jerko Leko. Quite a lot.. Our board will be reasonable enough I hope and bring us the extra defender. There are some back-up options.. |

There's no point to make the deal without the opportunity to fully buy him next summer. Milan is not Chelsea's feeder club.

Why should we try this kid out and if he turns out good Chelsea just recalls him back. Anyway, I don't think we would have left the negotiations if there was no back-up plan. Italian medias (tuttomercato I think) are suggesting Thiago Neves allready.. |

Same reason why we get Crespo - he helps us become better. If Chelsea recall him, we just replace him next summer. This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Aug 14 2008, 11:34 PM |
