"Juve? The door is closed."
"To Milan next season? I'm 30 and I won't have many seasons left, and I'm in Barcelona. But in football you never know."
"I dream of finish my career in Italy. Barcelona is my favourite foreign team, but in Italy I like Milan. This season I almost sign for them."

OK guys, I think we'll have a new LB/RB for next season. I think he said it all.

VERY good news.

Zambro (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

We should have really tried to do everything to sign him in the summer but he practically admitted that Juve forced him to sign for a foreign team. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I hope we get him, that would solve our problem in the LB area.

he is my favourite winger of all.

but still (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif) he is 30..... will be 31 next season

but than again, I'd go for it (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . He has at least 3-4 high-level seasons in front of him

I dont understand one thing:

Why Juve decided to let Ibra and Vieira to join Inter, and didn't let Zambrotta and Ibra join Milan?
Silvio said they had an agreement, but Juve didn't agree.

Maybe because they (Juventus) fear Milan? Maybe because they think Milan is way better than Inter?

Maybe because we've 17 titles in Serie A, Inter 14 (gonna get the 15th this season). The distance in titles btw Milan-Juventus in shorter than the Inter-Juventus. Maybe because of that?

And yes. Braida, Galliani and everyone already said we miss Ibra and Zambro last Summer.

there was a reason......maybe one of those that you mentioned, maybe something else......

but the reason that is the closest IMO is Galliani.

Zambrotta would be an ideal solution to our fullback(s) problem. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

If he comes, then we will be all set at the back

I guess we kick janku then? Cause I dont think He will replace Oddo if we do aquire him.

Janku would move up to midfield, which is his natural position. At least that's my guess.

We play 4-3-1-2? Where would he fit in? Mid is reserved for ambro seedorf pirlo gattuso brocchi. I donno if it would be such a good idea to buy zambrotta.

Janku would be on the bench if we signed Zambro most likely.

Obviously.

^^^^^^^^

What Porto here said.

The fact that Juve would have rather sent 2 of their best players to the team that handed them to the arm of the law (Inter) and Zambro to Barca is indicative enough to see how the relationship between the 2 clubs had frosted over.

If Juve where to go down they wanted to take us down with them and when they didn't see this happen they refused to sell us any of their players. That's why our management sent Abbiati to Torino rather then to Juve when Buffon looked certain like he was about to leave.

From the comments some of the Juve officials made it was clear that they were p!ssed off by the fact that they went down and we got off relatively easy and when Galliani started making those comments about how Juve are only good in their domestic league and rarely excel in Europe where for Milan it's the opposite, as if to make it seem more obvious how Juve cheated their way through the league only made things worse.

I think it was partly what Porto said and also childish behaviour from both the teams.

Then there is also the fact if Zlatan would have wanted to come to Milan without playing CL football, because when the negotiations where underway we where still not sure of that fact. So he most probably decided to go to Inter mostly for that matter not because of the money we offered Juve (which after his terrible season and WC wouldn't have merited a lot of cash to be spent on him).

Zambro imo wanted Milan, CL or no CL but he was forced to go to Barca, and he admitted this himself
