QUOTE (X-Offender @ Jun 21 2015, 10:42 AM) I doubt PSG want to sell Verratti. I'd rather go for Witsel or Gündogan.
Mediaset says now we're interested in Cavani, with Dzeko being the alternative. They won't sell Cavani either And really?? Again with the f@cking strikers when that's the least of our worries! Dzeko is doable and much more cheaper than Martinez. Still it's the same problem of having a finisher without supply I'd take Gudogan and Witsel over Kondogbia any day of the week, I just have a soft spot for Verratti.

QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Jun 21 2015, 04:49 AM) The window has yet to open and there are an abundance of options on the market. There could be an unnamed player we are after that has not hit the media yet.
We have lots of time. Even the bee deal is yet to happen (sometime before the market opens). Exactly this one hundred times! patience no one needs to be ripped off here. The clubs we are trying to buy from are not stupid they know we have a new shareholder with a **** load of money , they want to milk us for everything they can regardless. So there is no need to pay through the nose no reason at all. Galliani : “If we save €40m on Kondogbia and €35m on Jackson Martinez, we’ll have another €75m to spend wisely over the rest of the transfer window,” added Galliani. “Whether that’s a good or a bad thing, only time will tell…”

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Jun 21 2015, 11:40 AM) Least of our worries? You do realize that with Destro back to Roma and Pazzini leaving we basically have no strikers, right? What's the point in having a quality midfield if you don't have the capacity to finalize the supply?
We need to make signings in every area, and that includes attack. Simply put it should be 3rd priority after midfield and defence. We still have players who can play there atm. SES, Menez, Niang, Cerci can all play there. I'd rather have a top notch midfield and a mediocre attack rather than 1 top notch attacker and a mediocre midfield QUOTE (X-Offender @ Jun 21 2015, 11:44 AM) Mediaset now saying we're interested in Witsel, with Gündogan as the alternative. Why should they be mutually exclusive? We need both imo

QUOTE (Ry4n @ Jun 21 2015, 01:26 PM) calm down...its a transfer windows yes we need players but have a little faith. No need to get emotional over a transfer window i'm sure we will get the players we need fingers crossed (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It's not about missing out on these players, but it's how it happened. The multiple flights, fancy dinners, selfies, Milan Channel statements etc. In the end, it amounted to nothing but a charade, and we ended up looking like donkeys. Il Corriere was saying today how what happened yesterday has severely damaged Milan's image, and they are right. We've become the laughing stock of Europe. So, of course I'm going to get emotional about it. QUOTE (han2503 @ Jun 21 2015, 01:46 PM) Why should they be mutually exclusive? We need both imo Ideally, yes. Witsel - De Jong - Gündogan (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleepysmiley03.gif)

Witsel - De Jong - Gündogan (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleepysmiley03.gif) In my opinion it simply isn't worth getting worked up over. In today's fast moving short attention span media cycle there will be another transfer saga next week with some other team and everyone will forget about this. I'm reserving judgement until I see our roster the day after the window closes. I would love to get Witsel and Gündogan. Both are a class above anyone currently on the roster in midfield. I may be underestimating their creativity but I think that midfield would still lack a true creative power unless we also brought in a solid treq.

QUOTE Atletico Madrid and Arsenal can push in for Jackson Martinez, but Milan won’t sign until the Porto striker has a medical.
The Rossoneri have to all intents and purposes sealed the deal, as they are prepared to pay the €35m release clause in his contract and agreed personal terms.
However, a week has gone by and still Martinez has not undergone a medical, as Milan must wait for permission from Colombia during the Copa America.
The plan was to send doctors out to their base in Chile to perform the tests there, but still require the all-clear from the Colombian Federation.
This delay has allowed Atletico Madrid – according to papers in both Spain and Portugal – and Arsenal to get back in the race for Martinez.
Milan know they can end that scenario by simply signing the contract and performing the medical later, but the Italian club has no intention of rushing things.
Jackson would become one of their biggest ever transfer signings and do not want to risk spending €35m on a player who has fitness problems. QUOTE Milan CEO Adriano Galliani reveals “it was all done” for Geoffrey Kondogbia, but they “cannot accept” the sum Inter paid Monaco.
The transfer had been seemingly secure on Friday evening, only for the midfielder to sign for the Nerazzurri on Saturday afternoon.
“At 1.30 it was all done,” Galliani told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Monaco had given us the all-clear for the sale at €40m with payment spread over two years, €20m and €20m.
“The agreement with Geoffrey had already been sorted out the night before and was confirmed that same morning by him and his father.
“After we exchanged the documentation, at 1.30pm everyone disappeared. Evidently they changed their minds or the others offered more.”
It is in fact reported that Inter have agreed to pay €40m plus performance-related bonuses, with wages that with add-ons will be close to €5m per season.
“I told (Doyen Sports representative) Nelio Lucas, in certain negotiations you have to act like a father with children. A ‘no’ is more difficult to accept than a ‘yes,’ but we cannot accept these figures.
“At times it requires more courage to get up and walk away from the table than to stay, so let’s go.”
Now Jackson Martinez is also slipping away, as Atletico Madrid are prepared to pay the €35m release clause to Porto without a medical.
“If we save €40m on Kondogbia and €35m on Jackson Martinez, we’ll have another €75m to spend wisely over the rest of the transfer window,” added Galliani.
“Whether that’s a good or a bad thing, only time will tell…” Both sourced from FI .... Yeah Galliani is the idiot isn't he (IMG: style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

I think it not about getting worked up, but seeing Milan getting humiliated like this simply doesn't sit well
Look at Juve. They just cake walked all over the league and got to the CL final and yet they have closed deals for important players, could sign Jovetic and Oscar as well.
See the difference in ambition?
They want something, they get it done.
Us on the other hand barely made it to a mid-table classification and are dilly-dallying around, went in for 2 players and lost out on both at the last hurdle because we have an incompetent negotiator. Now we're going after impossible targets like Cavani for the attack and incompetent ones like Bertolacci for the midfield.
Sorry guys, we might have a few more dollars lying around but nothing has changed.
It's what I feared before, trusting Galliani to handle things will be the undoing of us this summer
