QUOTE Mexes visto a cena con Braida Secondo indiscrezioni il difensore della Roma Philippe Mexes sarebbe stato visto a cena a Milano con l'uomo mercato del Milan, Ariedo Braida, domenica sera. Mexes è da tempo nel mirino rossonero, e la Roma non sembra disposta a ritoccargli in maniera significativa l'attuale ingaggio da 1,5 milioni a stagione. Col contratto in scadenza nel 2008, peraltro, potrebbe essere acquistato per una cifra non superiore ai 10 milioni. link Mexes met with Braida on Sunday. Milan are watching him for some time. His contract is up in 2008 but we can buy him for 10mil. Better translation needed This post has been edited by mishale: May 22 2007, 07:31 PM |

Hmm... There are certain talents that don't perform consistently. Mexes, Chivu, Colochini are some examples. But then there are certain defenders that are consistent but probably not as technically(in their defensive duties) talented, but put in solid performances match after match. Alex and Stam are two examples. I'd rather go for the latter seeing as we already have Kaladze and Simic.

Better translation needed  I'll have to see if we can get a full translation or something (Porty still on?) But from what you've said, I'd prefer to buy him than wait for the free, there'd be alot of competition. Whereas if we buy him, maybe their won't be so much. |

Mishale's translation is accurate. The only other thing I'd add is that Mexes apparently wants more in annual salary than Roma are willing to offer.

He had a very tough first year at Roma but after that he really improved. he is young(25), used to Italian game and very talented. Could be a good buy IMO. |

Could be a good buy IMO. Yeah. He's always been a top player even from his early Auxerre days. I don't think the annual salary rise should make much of a stepping-stone for us. Hopefully not anyways. Either him, Alex, Luisao, or Terry. Terry and Luisao I can't see joining though. Mexes or Alex would be awesome though. |

Roma don't want to renew with him. Do not want to give him more than 1,5M per year for him. That's not much for a defender like him. I'd welcome him. |

I would prefer someone like Alex as oppsed to him, we need a more physical presence with height in our defence and Alex fits that bill

Dont know much about his Roma performances, although he has played decently supposedly
Was solid back with his French club a few years back |

And he's agressive (not Materazzi agressive style). I like that on a CB. Nesta-Mexes would be an hell of a partnership. And for 10M euros... a 25 yo French NT guy... get him Braida.

Stam did that for us, now someone like Alex, Luisao or Naldo could do it. |

He's got the good looks to be a Milan player, but he's still about 10 years too young. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
But I'd prefer him over Alex, I just think Mexes is one of the best in Serie A. Behind Maldini, Nesta, Materazzi and very few other names. |

I prefer Chivu. Mexes is good. There are better defenders out there, better than either of those two.
