Now that's an unstoppable force..But they have to work as a team here...No one trying outshine the other..Then we'll be good to go...

well it took me a few minutes to get over the shock but if Shevchenko helps Milan win Lo Scudetto in Maldini's final seaon then I will have forgiven him FM

Why? Because we keep strengthening the wrong positions. I'd rather see a fresh goalie and some strengthening in the defense rather than a 32-year old Sheva, who will steal game time from our youngsters so they won't get the proper experience. That's why.

And thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) what silvio wants silvio gets i guess. This has nothing to do with our transfer funds. I'm somewhat happy he is back and somewhat dissapointed that we payed for him. He is def not what we need and i hope we still sign a defender. As far as galliani goes i would not say he's lost because hes signed what? 8 players with 40-60 mil transfer fund which is amazing in itself. He is a mercato genius when having to sign a lot of players with liittle money.


lets see so far who we have:

flamini
antonelli
borriello
ronaldinho
viudez
cardaccio
zambrotta
abate(out)
abbiati
shevchenko


That is 10 players with 1 being transfered out. i can only say wow , did i ever underestimate him or what.

For one, we were lacking strikers... Borriello and Inzaghi are injured. Pato is still not back. We were putting too much on Pato. Abbiati is a good goalkeeper, and I think with one more defender we will be fine. But the fact remains is that we needed more experience in our forward line.

This will ensure we have no more crisis with regards to strikers.

I think our youngsters will get plenty of playing time. Including Pato.

guys we dont need a goalie right now. Abbiati is probably the best one we can get because no team this close to deadline will part with their gk. If we want a gk we will have to sign him july 1. As far as defenders i believe that we will sign or loan someone. I can't believe i'm saying this but,

In galliani we Trust

You mean Antonini.

We also sold Simic and loaned out Gourcuff.

Either way, this looks like a solid set of signings to me. I'm sure Viudez and Cardacio will stay put.

gourcuff didn't do anything so keeping him here would be a waste of time/space/money. simic ?? LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

And i also forgot flamini. The man is a genius, truly outstanding. He has shut me up to the core and i was complaining to no end at the beginning of the mercato, ask R7 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Well, Gourcuff I'm sure will do better in the future... he needed more experience... he seems to be developing at a slower pace than expected.

Simic... was still sold, putting emphasis on the fact we need another defender.

Yeah of course Flamini... and I've been nothing less but impressed by him since he arrived to Milan.

This mercato has been full of surprises and good signings.

Ehhh Boriello won't be out very long and Inzaghi have played the last two matches, so no, I wouldn't say we're lacking strikers.

I've always been a skeptic of Borriello. What were to happen if he fails?

Inzaghi is 35 years old and even though I love the guy, he won't be playing all matches. Leaving us with one reliable striker. The young Alexandre Pato.

Welcome Home GOLDEN BOY !!! Bring that long nose Mourinho down !

ADRIANO GALLIANI: "Welcome home Andriy"
8/23/2008

MILAN - Adriano Galliani talked at 19.00 live to Milan Channel about Sheva: "After a series of frenetic phone calls held during the entire day, we have reached an agreement with Chelsea. Andriy comes back in red and black, tomorrow he'll be in Milan, on Monday he will undergo the medical visits, then he will sign his contract, and on Tuesday evening he will be available to Carlo Ancelotti. We managed to bring back the player who in 50 years has scored the most goals with our shirt. President Berlusconi and I are happy, so is our coach, and I think our fans should be too. I think Milan are the only club in the world who have three Golden Ball winners in the team. Yes, Andriy has returned home and I am happy. I've spoken to Andriy 48 times in the last three hours... the details of the deal are very private. Before tomorrow night Andriy will be in Milan and his life as a Milan player will start again. Andriy made a mistake in leaving and I think that in these two years he has understood that Milan is his home. Now he has made economic sacrifices but at this point the only thing that counts is that he is coming back to us."

I hope he won't disrupt Pato's progress at Milan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) that's the only scary part of Sheva coming back for me...

Yeah, if we had the Sheva and Ronnie of 3 years ago...

We'll see hopefully both will regain some of that form
