Milan Made £40m Offer For Ronaldinho In The Summer


Ronaldinho is currently going through a tough time with the Catalan-giants and is being tipped by many to leave the club in the near future.

The 27-year-old has underperformed this season and was verbally attacked by fans at Barcelona’s ‘El Prat’ Airport following Sunday’s hugely disappointing 1-0 El Clasico defeat to league-leading rivals Real Madrid.

AC Milan have long been associated with a move for Ronaldinho, and the club’s President Silvio Berlusconi has never hidden his admiration for the player.

Now Ronaldinho’s agent and brother Roberto de Assis says that Milan did indeed bid for the player before the beginning of the season.

"Milan made an offer in the summer,” he stated.

"It was for £40 million. But the operation didn't get off the ground."

With the January transfer window set to open in just a few days, it remains to be seen if Milan will table a renewed offer for Ronaldinho.

Reports in Spain yesterday suggested that the Rossoneri may look to offload injury-plagued striker Ronaldo in order to make space for his compatriot.

£40m is still way, way too much. I hope the interest is not renewed and with a bit of luck Chelsea will put in a big offer, more than we're willing to spend.

Ronaldinho won't succeed in Chelsea. I'm sure of it. Brazilians and EPL are not made for each other. if he leaves, it will be either Milan... or Madrid!

His value his gone down and I'm sure Milan won't bid 40 mil pounds again.

I cannot believe that we can afford to splash £40m on the overrated R10 while leaving neglecting the areas that need strengthening! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I'm sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous!

P.S. Roberto Assis is not to be trusted in any way (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I used to love Dinho,...he has that magic touch. And I'm sure he'll find the way back with us,.. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I think R10 lost his motivation...

After all he has a chamber full of gold to sit on anyway, besides I'm more suspicious of Brazilians from Spain anyway,

R10 isn't just any Brazilian from Spain though...

I'm not one that supports the transfer, I think that the ammount of money it would take to bring him to Milan and the wages on him could be put to better use. But in the end it is not our money and we don't really have a say in it.

Hopefully the fact that he will be at a new club, in a new league will renew his motivation, just like R9 last season

He's/was world's Nr.1 player. We should have faith and belive that if he joins Milan, Kaka can help him be second-best,..

I finally saw A Milan match this season, and I'm pretty much on my knees with shock.

Our game play without that second striker is like yeesh I dunno...really impossible.

Actually there isn't much rocket science now, to stopping Milan. It's called the 'suffocate Pirlo' play. Pirlo being second only to God in making plays has still got technique and skill to make a pass like 10-15 yards through a crowd, but he needs space to make those killer long range passes. And to think until now I thought it was a loss of form on his part.

Right now, the only way for us to get that ball through is for Kaka to drop deep, and when Kaka does that Gila gets isolated.

Seedorf is not too adept at dropping deep and carrying the ball up front. His natural area in that pitch is the last 20-30 yards. And of course this match I wanted to see Seedorf replaced by Forrest Gump (Run Forrest run!!).

We need that second striker rather desperately. I dunno if Pato is that person. Because if Kaka can play just off Pirlo, the opposition man marking Pirlo doesn't help much.

Ronaldo is not really what I'd call a playmaking forward. He's a finisher too, it's just that he's got much better technique than a penalty boxer like Gila so he can occasionally play that position. Even with R99, our usual tactic was for Gila to drag defenders away, and for R99 to latch onto the ball and score.

So yeah someone in the R10 mode would be a huuuge necessity. R10 would repay 10% of his transfer fee in the first 4 months with jersey sales. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) After that maybe he has to start to play well.


How many other playmaking forwards do we know of? Yes there is Kaka who plays that role to perfection, but he's already said he doesn't like it much. He likes to run at defenders, and that's not something he's been able to do. And besides as a trequartista he is far more lethal for us. He won best player of the year for his performance as a second forward, but it still isn't what could be Best for the team.

^^ you make some good points but look at other teams, not everyone has a playmaking forward yet they get off fine. what we lack is mobility up front, ya we have kaka but besides him we have no one! a playmaking forward would help us but when you have guys like pirlo,gattuso,ambro, seddorf that dont run at defences (seedorf can dribble but he cant run, we all know that). take a team like arsenal, they play with 1 or 2 finishers up front and guys like rosicky and hleb add mobility to the forward line.

True. What I meant was for Milan's formation of the 4-3-1-2 with two DMs.

Or else Seedorf would need to be replaced by another Kaka like player, who can drop deep and get it up front.

honestly i think thats one of our big problems, sneijder would have been ideal (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
bring in the SS, bring some fresh legs in def and we should be on the right track oh and get sumone who can make a save or two (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If Seedorf is a striker, then we can replace him with R10, can't we?!

[kurtsimonw]

I hope he just moves to Chelsea sooner rather than later, he isn't an EPL style player and would fail, then it'd look like a great move in not getting him.
