Considering the fact Inter and Juve would be hunting for his signature, and that Cellino is in no rush to sell him, i wouldnt be suprised if he was holding out for 20M...a fee no italian team would pay...

Considering we could purchase the other half of Poli for something like 4-6M, with a healthy squad, i wouldnt even mind not signing a mid* What's more, the only jersey i want at the moment is Poli's, but there is no chance that my money will go into furthering the crappy co-own half-measures...

Winter objectives (barring big injuries):
-dispose of a forward (loan out Niang or sell SES)
-sign Honda and loan out Saponara

?

Aside from Niang and Honda those moves make absolutely no sense.

Saponara and SES? 2 of our most talented young players instead of the real deadweight in this team that does absolutely nothing but sit on the bench and earn their huge wages?

I can give you a very long list of who SHOULD be sold and none of those include our best and brightest young players.

I mean some of you guys are as baffling as our management. You moan and whine about youth for years and now that we have actual talented youth that is wanted by many other clubs you want to sell them or loan them because you don't have the patience to deal with the up and down of what youth entails. These are not players in their mid 20s at their peaks. These are guys who are just starting out and need time to fully develop.

Regarding Honda, I just think that he will come. The reasons as to why he said what he did could be numerous. But all his other options aren't really that attractive, plus he's a self confessed Milan fan. It's probably just him being worried about whether Milan are interested or not now that we've brought Kaka, so he's keeping other doors open just in case.

Site in Greece (actually the article is written in spanish "sport" newspaper) claim that there are rumors about Casillas moving to AC Milan in January transfer period.

That Casillas is positive cause he wants to get some games before world cup in Brazil and that good relationships btw Milan and Real will further help the move.

Last mentioned is also the interest shown by other clubs like Borussia and Arsenal.

Fat chance of this happening! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) But I'll take him without a thought. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Casillas is class!

Not good enough. There's a reason he was dropped. The media liked to put forward the idea it was an ego thing with Mourinho, how do they explain it now? He was terrible under Mourinho consistantly making mistakes.

I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleepysmiley03.gif) But he's good enough compared to the stooges we put up between goalposts.

Next to Abbiati? He's still a God! Abbiati is making mistakes on a weekly basis.

But Casillas would cost us an arm and a leg wage-wise.

Casillas had a rocky season but he's still a top keeper that would start on most teams. RM wise, Diego Lopez is in absolutely fanstatic shape since he moved to Madrid and earned that starting place.

Casillas over the past 18 months has been as bad as Dida was at his worst. Fortunately they had a manager with the strength to drop a legend.

I'd sign Iker in a heartbeat. after what they did to Raul, this rumor doesn't strike me as bullshit (unless it turns out it is bullshit).

Since he's a genuinely world class GK and proved that for about a decade, he can get back to his best. it's that simple in my eyes.

Class he is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

But Kurt wasn't the main dispute about him revealing to his journalist/girlfriend RM internal stuff? Like locker room discussions etc? And she goes off hinting at things in public? Maybe I could be mistaken, and he really did loose form.

But I would accept him with open arms at Milan. As for the wage, we have a cap of 4MM, he accepts it or he moves to Dortmund/Arsenal. We didn't budge for Balo, Kaka or any player of notable quality out there, hence I doubt Galliani would offer an arm and leg. If he wants a WC place, he should move, and to Milan all the better.

But how many players on 4m can we realistically afford? If we sign any more, it's really going to make the we needed to sell Silva and Zlatan talk more BS than they already were if we're going to pump up our wages to these levels again. We've already exceeded the 100m mark this season something we managed to go below last season

He was really awful. He essentially cost RM any chance of the title within the first month of that season. Lopez is simply the better keeper nowadays.

On the topic of goalkeepers the last game against Samp i don't know if everyone caught it but the commentators were talking about Abbiati and having a not crisis but confidence issue which is why the defence does'nt trust him coming for balls so they clear it and rather not have Abbiati stuck in no mans land. But there comments really reminded me of Kalac and Dida when they played i can remember when the defence back then didn't trust there goalkeeper and i think right now with Abbiati having crap form the defence won't trust him more and more so unless our defence has a few unshaky games we're defenatley going to be conceding goals..

Not only that but the i think the word i'm looking for , for the whole team is complacency right now only a few players know what they are doing and do it with confidence on the pitch and for me thats Poli everyone else is waiting a spark or something.

my 2cents.

Akinfeev being linked with us now.. I think we might go for him as his contract is expiring in summer so reduced fee or free.. ideal milan transfer
