Selling Silva is out of the question, especially now that Nesta's gone. But seriously, €25 million??? F@ck off!

QFT


+ infinity

Wasn't Keita's contract running out?! what's the point of including him in their offer?

And it's not about the money, we need Silva more than we need anyone else in this team. we must make it abundantly clear to any suitors that Silva is not for sale so they won't come knocking for him again. I hate for Milan to be seen as a selling club, especially its stars. if we can't sign stars anymore, we could at least not lose those we already have.

Not exactly. But I think he can leave for free under some FIFA regulation, like when De Sanctis left Udinese for Sevilla in 2007 for free, even though his contract had not expired.

Getting Seydou Keita on a free is one thing, but actually paying transfer money for him or use it to make a sell cheaper? He's like 32 years old.

How.. how?

I, I..

Why do these rumours even exist?

Because the media make money out of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)



I think I know what you're talking about.

I just looked into that. It's the most retarded thing I have ever heard in football. Players have way too much power.

Horrific developments these days....Maldini begging Milan not to sell iBra AND Silva (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I mean, like WTF is goin on?

And they can refuse to play and get away with it as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

TWM claims we've signed Gabriel Vasconcelos Ferreira, 20 years old GK of Cruzeiro for about €300k-500k. He'll be replacing Roma as our third goalie.

From what I read people online saying, he is held in high regard and has load of potential.

Apparently he has a EU passport as well.

A little article about him: http://www.fifa.com/u20worldcup/news/newsi...3250/index.html

Times are changing ...

Honestly speaking, this new crop of players don't show any sign of belonging as did the old crop. Hence I have this gut feeling that Silva's move (if at all) would be easier than that of Sheva or Kaka's moves.

And (something I do believe in) why would he stay? So fans can chastise him ala Seedorf and Gattuso in their final seasons for Milan? Especially after such successful careers.

I believe he will be more successful somewhere else, let alone appreciated more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Who said Silva is not appreciated enough here or he can be appreciated more somewhere else?? at a club like Barca where, according to Puyol, people think you're finished when you're past 30?!

Please stop you melodramatic nonsense.

Staying at a club as long as you have something valuable to give is one thing (Nesta) overstaying your welcome and making people forget every good thing you did through playing one awful game after another and looking like an ex-player every time you step on the pitch (as Gattuso DESCRIBED HIMSELF!), is another.

It's not about the age, Maldini played for us until 40, Nesta 36... every player's different, but I guess Silva has at least another 6 seasons to give to this club. I'd love to have him at Milan as long as he can play at the highest level. that's the sad side of football. you have to step aside when your time is up. something the likes of Seedorf are still struggling to come to terms with.

Bottom line is, Milan fans love, value and appreciate Silva unlike what you think.

Of course they do ... 5 years later though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

Hence my point, why should he stay here? While he can go to Barca and be 10 times the successful player (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
