QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Jun 23 2009, 11:37 AM)  Rumour in one of the papers today: Drogba swap for Pato. I swear. If that happened, I might have to start taking more notice in the Serie B. Edit: Just found the article. QUOTE Chelsea to swap Didier Drogba for Pato Source
Chelsea are reportedly planning a swap deal which would see Didier Drogba join AC Milan and Pato move to Stamford Bridge. Carlo Ancelotti, the Chelsea manager, is determined to bring the brilliant Brazilian teenager to London. And the Daily Star says Drogba could be allowed to join the Italian giants as part of the deal. Drogba is banned for the first four Champions League games of next season, and has appeared unsettled at Chelsea since the departure of Jose Mourinho in 2007. The sale of fellow Brazilian Kaka to Real Madrid, and the departure of Ancelotti to Chelsea, have made Pato consider his future. And the 19-year-old has claimed he will speak with Ancelotti before deciding his next move. “I will talk with Ancelotti. He is an extraordinary man. It is thanks to Ancelotti that I managed to come through at Milan and in Italian football," said Pato. "Before deciding my future I want to talk with him. At the end of June, after the Confederations Cup in South Africa, I will talk with the Milan directors." |

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Jun 23 2009, 10:37 AM) Rumour in one of the papers today: Drogba swap for Pato. That rumour came from the Daily Star according to milannews.it I wouldn't trust it Personally I don't see why Carlo would want Pato so badly, not as much as the English press are making it out to be. He's never been a big fan of Pato and was always more than happy to drop him the second Pippo started to show even the smallest ammount of a scoring touch. They never appeared to have such a special relationship either with Carlo criticising him at every given opportunity. And Carlo himself has not said anything about Pato or any other Milan player for that matter. I just think that this is the media's attempt to stir things up. Now that the most interesting transfers have already happened (Kaka CR) and not draged out throughout the entire summer they're going to look for things to fill their pages, and what more obvious then the new Chelsea coach trying to lure some of his former star players to the Premier League? |

For the past 2 yers papers and portals sold all the players from Milan lol.
I wish Pirlo goes from Milan but not for money onlly for Essien, today i read that Essien is on Sale and he is SUPER BEST player that would be WALL in the mid. and would give a lot of space for Ronaldhino... |

Essien is good, but then Carlo would cement his place as a fool if he were to sell him.

I say get Essien and try to tempt him with Ambro. I bet Carlo would salivate at a midfield 3 of Ballack--Lampard--Ambro That's oldie chic if you ask me And we get Essien. Think of this Flamini--Pirlo--Essien (IMG:style_emoticons/default/droolsmiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/droolsmiley.gif) |

Carlo does not have a cool bone in his body Hopefully he'll inflict his miserable tactics on Chelsea, we'll see how long Roman will tolerate his sh!t, certainly not as long as they did at Milan that's for sure |

Apparently now we're being linked to Luis Fabiano and Andre Santos...
Fabiano is a bit on the old side, I'd personally prefer Dzeko. Santos I don't know much about but he was impressive so far in the Conf Cup |

Pato for Drogs? Hopefully never gonna happen.
In more exciting news, we are apparently looking at Marseille keeper Steve Mandanda. He's had a brilliant few seasons and I'd love to see him in the red and black. |

Fabregas has indicated should he ever some to Italy - Milan is the team he would like to play for.
http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jun23s.html Dzeko's agent insists there is nothing new to report, but Milan have to move quick & in a few days we will hear more. http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jun23a.html |

He's had a brilliant few seasons and I'd love to see him in the red and black. I don't believe we're really going to look for a keeper. Abbiati had a good season and sadly that's enough for our management to give him a new contract. Not taking into account the fact that it could have been a 1 off last season and he'll have a bad one next season. That coupled with the fact that we have Calamity Dida and Zelijko 'The Spider' Kalac as reserves, Galliani will be happy to point out that we're more then covered in that area |

Indeed, the likelihood of that particular deal happening is low, it's more reassuring that we're at least planning to make plans for progress.
I do reckon, though, that Abbiati can do a decent enough job between the sticks for another season, but a replacement will be needed sooner rather than later. |
