Totally agree, by the way, man. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Balotelli in the winter? Fat chance of that happening.

Well he's on thin ice with the City management as well as with Mancini. I'm 100% sure they want him out of there. But if we can't meet their demands then they won't relent simple as that. And I can't see where 24m would come from at this point unless Silvio endorses the move himself.

Personally, I'd rather we focus on an AM and get another CM or DM for that midfield of ours. Now Galliani wants to keep a dud like Traore, AS IF that would help us in the slightest

You talk total sense, man, but if we get Kaka (and his 10 million wages), then Balotelli is a distant thought. Maybe in the summer, or unless we get a really good deal out out of City. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Obviously, Silvio will most probably be the one footing the bill in either case. But personally I think El Shaarawy is going to be our man.

Unless, in some drastic twist of fate, we sell Shaarawy to Arsenal and sign Balotelli.

In Corriere Dello Sport they speculate that money for Balotelli's trasfter will come from the sales of Abate and Robinho (either now or in 6 month).

Yes, it would. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

That better not be the case for Abate.

How stupid! And they expect us to buy this youth + home grown "project" they're trying to shove down our throats??

Robinho absolutely needs to be sold now. But selling Abate when our only other option is De Sciglio... That's just bad planning, bad management and basically the same old thing of saying one thing and doing the complete opposite of that.

Maybe te reason why Allegri is constantly using DS when Abate is clearly the better option is because we're actually trying to sell him...

Well, it isn't exactly up to Ricky either. In fact it never was. While I liked the Brazilian player, I used to look negatively on his big entourage. It's up to his dad mostly.


As I said earlier, there must be a mystery around Strasser. Something isn't right because we're always so keen to push him away. Maybe his injury problems are more serious and permanent, like Pato.


Agree with han, it would be ridiculous to get rid of Abate at this point. Especially for Balotelli.

Adriano Galliani confirms there are developments for Kaka and Milan “will jump for Mario Balotelli" if the price-tag drops.

The Vice-President spoke to Sky Sport Italia ahead of today’s Serie A game with Bologna at San Siro.

“We are trying for Kaka. It is an issue of numbers. I don’t want to get into particulars right now, but we have to make a sacrifice, as do Real Madrid and Kaka.

“In a day or two we’ll know whether the move can go through or not. It is a difficult solution to find, because there is a big anomaly in the difference between the Italian and Spanish fiscal rules.

“Of all the players who left Milan, nobody had the emotional effect of Kaka, not even Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Thiago Silva. There are thousands of Rossoneri fans who are orphans of Kaka since 2009, including me.”

Galliani was also asked about Balotelli amid reports the €37m price set by Manchester City has dropped to €28m.

“It depends on them. I am waiting, they are there and if the price drops then we will jump for Balotelli. Otherwise, we will stay in Milan. They are his legitimate employers, so we wait, observe and see what happens.

“How much does it have to drop? We don’t know. Paying in instalments is an option, but you still have to pay.”

Italian newspapers claim Milan are preparing an offer for Queens Park Rangers creative midfielder Adel Taarabt.

The 23-year-old Moroccan international had already been linked with the Rossoneri in December when declaring his agent had “spoken to” the Rossoneri.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the interest has been renewed as a cheaper alternative to Ricky Kaka.

Taarabt is only under contract at Loftus Road until June 2013 and has been linked with Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

More importantly, he has a French passport, so will not take up a non-EU spot.

Anybody seen him play?

Taarabt still only 23? Wow, that is interesting.

AC Milan will soon be African Club Milan if this continues. But as long as we sign good players, it's pretty much irrelevant. After Holland and Brazil, maybe Africa is our new/old gold mine.

"African Club Milan" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I get weary of Galliani.

'Kaka is the only player we're negotiating for'

One day later

'We will only sign Balotelli if they reduce the asking price'.

Don't get me wrong, he's the crazy uncle you can't really rely on and we all KNOW this but I really hate being lied to.
