You seem to dislike Ambro a lot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I don't have any serious problem with him, just like Rino better I think. both as a player and of course, as a character!

Every time you say that, this quote pops up in my mind:

He wonders if there's quiet talk going on with Udine about D'Agostino.

Sir Alex Ferguson: Arsenal Boss Arsene Wenger Has No Money

Arsenal's quest to remain a competitive outfit in the Premier League's top four could be made more laborious as they will be unable to fund any further incomings unless they continue to sell, so opines Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who has stated that Arsene Wenger "does not have any money".

Ferguson explained to the Telegraph, "Arsenal have got the biggest test to be where they want to be.

"I know that Arsene doesn't have any money. I think that selling Adebayor... well, whether he can use that money is another question.

"There seems to be evidence that he can't use the money," Ferguson added. "I don't know. I think they're struggling cash-wise. It's a big test for Arsenal."
Such a notion is given more credence when one examines the nature of the Frenchman's transfer policy thus far. Wenger bought Ajax captain Thomas Vermaelen but has sold key striker Emmanuel Adebayor to Manchester City for £25 million.

Prior to the opening of the summer window, Wenger affirmed that the team would need 2-3 experienced recruitments, a wishlist from last summer too, but he has since intimated that the current crop are strong enough.

"The message is to trust the players that we have," he explained to the club's official website. "This is a very big season for us but I believe that we are in a very strong position.

"I feel we have a big enough squad to deal with the targets that we have," he concluded.

That is why he isn't with the squad right now.

Yup, Pirlo is definitely with the team. And is training with them too -- the reason he wasn't fielded against the Galaxy (nor were Zambrotta or Gattuso, who are ALSO trainign with the team) is because the guys who were on NT duty had an extra long vacation and only just returned to training.

There are also shots of both of them in Dolce & Gabbana's blog of the team's summer travelling (but sadly for Fishdoll's person, no clear shots of Nesta).

That said, Mediaset seems to think there might be discussions between Milan and Chelsea this Friday (the day the two teams play) about Pirlo.

IT'S ALL VERY CLEAR

Adriano Galliani today in Lega Calcio: 'The Luis Fabiano negotiation is clear and simple. We are stuck on our offer. Either Sevilla lower their demands or it won't happen. Beckham? Possibly in January.'

MILAN - The situation of the market: today Adriano Galliani, on his arrival at the Lega Calcio, came back on the current topics of the Rossoneri's market. Here are his main declarations:

LUIS FABIANO
"We are stuck on our offer. We are neither pessimistic nor optimistic. The situation is clear: between us and Sevilla there is an economic and we are absolutely stuck on our offer. Either Sevilla lower their demands or it won't happen, the negotiations won't be closed."

"Everything is very clear: for us the question is only on a sporting level. Again, the negotiation is very clear: the distance is only economical, no intermediaries are necessary. With Sevilla our relationship is very good. We think their demands are too high, they think our offer is too low. We'll see."

THE OTHER NAMES
"Is Vucinic a real option? No, it isn't. And if Luis Fabiano doesn't come, we don't have a plan B at the moment. There's also no truth about Diamanti: he's a good player, but we only briefly talked about it during a meeting in the Lega. Nothing more. When I will reach the team in America? In Boston, for the derby."

DAVID BECKHAM
"There's no chance of having him back before January. David knows the doors of Milanello are open to him, as do his lawyers. I hope he comes back in January, because then the market re-opens, while there it ends in November. The most probable hypothesis is that Beckham becomes a Rossonero from January 2010 until the end of next season and then eventually returns to America. The fans' boos? I don't know, I wasn't there. I saw him play very well on television, I thought he was in spectacular form and played a few incredible passes. I don't want to repeat the same things all the time, but I remember how he was talked about a year ago. Now everyone sees what a great player he is."
