Massimo Oddo is set to leave Lazio despite being contracted until 2008, with Milan his preferred destination.

Reports are claiming that the world champion had a heated argument with President Claudio Lotito after the Coppa Italia match lost against Messina on Sunday.

Oddo has made no secret of his desire to leave the capital and has been courted by Milan since last spring, but Lotito insists that no firm offer has been presented by the Rossoneri.

The 29-year-old, on international duty with the Azzurri at Coverciano, is preferring to not pass comment on his situation.

“I am not going to speak about the summer market until August 31,” he stated. “However, you all know that the best signings are finalised at the end…”

The main obstacle to the defender’s transfer now seems to be an economic one for the San Siro side.

Milan, still trying to sort out a fee with Betis over Ricardo Oliveira, will have to meet Lotito’s £6m asking price.

The Rossoneri, however, are allegedly willing to include 23-year-old winger Pasquale Foggia in the swoop.

Coach Delio Rossi is in desperate need of a replacement for the injured Valon Behrami, who will not be available until November, and has already approved the operation.

Biancocelesti chief Lotito could accept a fee of almost £3m for the right-back if Foggia arrived on loan as part of the deal.

Oddo has also been courted by Liverpool, Monaco and Real Mallorca, whose bids were all rejected, and is liked by Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti given his offensive nature.

We better buy Cicinho from Real Madrid than Oddo. Much younger, will play longer for Milan

[jbryant1]

Its a gamble with the defense. They still have some of the biggest names in football, but most are injury prone.

We can't afford another Maldini injury. I'm surprised that they haven't looked to the future with their defense and rely on the same squad that won the CL several years ago.

Ancelotti is so hestitant in trying something new. He rely's on the same formula each season. Its good but hasn't yielded any major trophies in some time.

Problem is we have 10 defenders right now? We have a whole bench cluttered with these guys and we have a tendency in collecting defenders that are past their prime. I can understand with Maldini and Cafu, but not really for the rest of them.

Don't get me wrong Billy is a legend and did helped us last year when our defense was in tatters. But he should have retired this season.

I still like Serginho. He is a good attacking defender. I think Cincinho could do better.

No way...Cicinho is not even near Serginho. Yes, Serginho can be sometimes unreliable, but he makes his defending job still way better then Cic, also his flanks are more deadlier...no, no, I would pass on Cicinho. In this case, Oddo is better...

Haha so true (Favalli).... I hate that painter looking defender. He should sell his work outside the San Siro to raise money for the players we want!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)

Exactly, we should have been more focused on rebuilding the defense rather than the search for sheva #2. If we had signed gallas and oddo combined with nesta and kaladze, you'd bank that defence to hold out against most.

Hours are ticking away.. I'm in australia. So whats the official hours remaining for the transfer window..

Milan: Foggia per arrivare a Oddo

30.08.2006 10.18 di Marco Frattini articolo letto 1 volte

Massimo Oddo è da tempo un obiettivo dei rossoneri, la trattativa si era arenata davanti ai sette milioni richiesti da Lotito, il Milan ha però deciso di giocarsi il jolly. In altre parole la Lazio avrà in cambio il talentino Pasquale Foggia, richiesto da mezza serie A. Foggia in prestito alla Lazio più 3-4 milioni in contanti per la metà del terzino destro, queste dovrebbe esser la soluzione scelta dalle due società.

Haha translaters please.. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

[Costacurta]

This is ridiculous. I can't believe the dealine is tomorrow, and we have nothing. I idea of Cafu and Simic doing RB is a real weak link. Cafu cna't manage the season and is well past his best, Simic has never been that good. A RB is required, and though I'd have preferred Sagnol or Zambrotta, it seems we only have a chance of Oddo. However, I am in complete agreement about Cicinho. He is merely a right winger who Real Madrid use as a RB so they can have 2 people hurtling down the wings. Yes hes fast and crosses well etc, and hed prob be a great RWF or RMF, but for the team synomomous with stonewall defences, I don't think so.

Says Lazio wanted 7 M for Oddo, but Milan changed the offer to add Foggia in the deal .. Foggia might go for loan w/ 3-4 M on top of him for Oddo.

Channel4 says Milan offer Foggia on loan and 2m pounds for co-ownership of Oddo .... absolutely ridiculous!!!!!!!

they do the right thing by loaning Foggia out cause there's no way both him and Yoann will be able to be tested enough in a single season but can't they just give Lolito a good 4m and get Oddo out of there???

what the f@ck is this .... this is humiliating we're bargaining for such prices???? Get the f@ck ... I'm fed up at last ... I think this is utterly disgusting for a club like Milan!!!!

Maybe they are counting Oddo as a short-time solution,...it would be possible that they are still counting with Gallas, so they (our board) need Oddo just for that "brief" period. That would be fine to me cause Gallas is way better then Oddo.. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

[Jack Sparrow]

Damn...I'm convinced now...Silvio is saving for R10...no other explanation

[Rossoneri7]

Damn...I'm convinced now...Silvio is saving for R10...no other explanation

Not saving up .. Milan is always concidered the favourites wether we play Bayern, Real, Man U, etc ... And to be a favourite when playing these teams means something .. And who was behind all this; Silvio Berlusconi, he took the team from flat out broke to a team that always put out a strong side.

With that said, Berlusconi has the power to convince ANY player to sign for him, not Braida not Galliani, but him and ONLY him. Can you name me any other club that Ronaldinho would go to ? Stay with Barca ?! For what ?! This is the second time they have raised the CL in their history and never had a real chance with the league, (excluding the season that they got the league) .. Barca just made it into the first seed spot in the UEFA ranking .. Which isnt that impressive for a player like Ronaldinho. I personally thought he would go to Real Madrid this summer, but wasn't surprised that Milan would want to haul him in, why not we got as much international cups as Real Madrid; but are, realistically speaked, sporting wise are far better than them ! ..

After all, what is Berlusconi's use anyway if he cant be convincing enough to bring in the BIG boys down to Milanello ?!

Milan can sign Ronaldinho, Buffon, Ronaldo, Oliveira and Sobis, Oddo, Diarra, Drogba, Crespo, Ibrahimovic, Gallas ... ALL in a snap of a finger.

Prove me wrong ? Cuz the history of Berlusconi since 1986 with this club has convinced me that they are up for it. With that said, everything happens for a reason, and Milan better have a damn good one (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Because Ronaldinho said he is staying there for years to come! Because Barca said he ain't going no where and because Berlusconi said he is an impossible dream because he is NOT for sale!

Well .. So ? What's wrong with that ? .. Zidane moved from Juve to Madrid .. Ronaldo from Inter to Madrid .. And they all stated that they'll play on for their respected clubs, well the latter not that respected, for years to come. Am I missing Shevchenko who just recently stated he was gonna stay for yrs to come ?
Or Luis Figo from Barcalona to Madrid ?!

This happens in football .. You just have to weight it out bro, Milan has the upper-hand. Ronaldinho needs a new challenge, that's what these stars do .. Their aim is the best clubs in Europe. Although Barca is good, achievment wise, they are no match for Milan .. Which is why I am so convinced Ronaldinho will take a step up the ladder and play at an even better club AC Milan.

I had exactly the same thought as u .. say two days ago, but suddenly I'm convinced that it is the only sain way that Milan can justify their dealings in the market

Oliveira and Gallas sure we need them but would you seriously reject Ronnie if he was offered to you? i think our management know that next season practically the whole team will need a total overhaul (except for the midfield) Our defence will be considerably thinned out with all the retireing players, Boriello will definately not be here for long neither will amoroso. I think they are trying to save up for next year so they can rebuild the team, not fron the ground up, but make it young and fresh again.

And Ronnie fits in Silvio's plans, infact I think that he will be the thing at which Silvio's plans will revolve around, you'lle see that by the 07/08 season there will be a new young and fresh Milan

1. Torres's goal scoring record is better than many strikers we have been linked with. He also proved how talented he is in the WC. He has scored 64 in 140 games and he has done that playing for Atletico as the supporting striker! He is sheer talent and he will make it where ever he goes. I have no doubt.

2. Ronaldinho would be great, but he is not the answer to all our problems. Not to mention he is utterly expensive and I doubt we will buy 2 world class strikers and defenders in the same year. Unless Milan is willing to spend about 150 million Euros in one year! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Even if want to buy R10 for next year, we should have bought a defender and a striker so we can actually win something this year and that would mean more money. Plus a dramatic overhaul wouldn't be such a good idea as it takes away the unity of the squad.

I know that there will be side effects to it but a complete overhaul especially of our defence will be inevitable. At least 2 world class defenders will have to come in, either a RB or a LB (depending on wether we buy Oddo or not) and a CB, not to mention that we will have to buy some subs.

And about the financial aspect of it, Silvio has already said that if he where to get the chance in buying Ronaldinho he would be ready to make any financial sacrifices in order to get him.

I'd like Ronaldinho but I think Silvio is not giving Kaka the credit he deserves (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Gaucho is just a better entertainer and not a better player than Ricky. That said Silvio looks like a Roman emperor and San Siro is his arena or something!!!!

In a way he is an emperor .. and hehe ironically it is his arena ..

But your 100% right, cz Kaka is a stronger player than Ronaldinho .. Maybe in Spain he could put all his mastery on the pitch, but in Serie A he will need to improve a lot in terms of tactics and strength.

Just something I felt that should be added...about Oddo...I really don`t understand people who give him so much praise. I watched the Italy match tonight - Oddo made numerous crosses, not a single reached his target. They were either to strong or simply unprecise (deflected by the first defending player). You say his attacking skills are no that good...but I did not see any defensive skills either. I mean, come on, against some Lithuanian players he acted a couple of times very week, and Cannavaro had to deal with the problem. I know, not everything should be based on one match only, but I saw him many times earlier and also wasn`t that impressed. I cannot lose that feeling that he is very overrated here...some people seem not to be happy even with Ronaldinho, but all embrace Oddo at once. But I really don`t see him as that good...

He's not that good but we'll need Oddo's defence more this year than Cafu's attacking skills I fear. He's not overrated; People want him because we have a problem at RB while we can do amazingly well without Ronaldinho.I think it is simple.
Also Oddo has rarely played a game with those teammates he had tonight ... anyway he's not anything special but we needed him and he could come for a Berlusconi breakfast if you get what I mean ... apparently he wasn't willing to pay even that!!!!

I hope at least he does so last year - with any good RB - which I doubt considering what he'll have to pay to bring Gaucho over. I fear not even Costacurta and Maldini will be replaced ... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

And you're totally right, after the summer ended I can't tell you how many times I've heard how lucky Inter are because they got him, including in here. And when I hear it I just have to laugh, he didn't even have that much of a good world cup, he only did 3 things that could be called useful and those where winning the penalty against the Aussies, the goal against the Germans and scoring the penalty, other then that he wasn't good going forward and he wasn't good in defence, we just didn't conceede because of errors from his side because Cannavaro seemed to be in super human mode. Imo Zambrotta should have played on the left and Oddo on the right in that world cup, the Palermo boys (especially Zaccardo) should not have been called up.

Oddo is good defensively, I saw the game tonight, he made a lot of good interceptions, and he and Rino where working well together and he made some good crosses.

btw did you see Cassano tonight, he was simply amazing. I'm beginning to think that we should have tried for him instead of Ronaldo when we where negotiating with Real. He seems like he has lost the weight and you can't deny how talented he is.

Oh and I can't get over how unlucky Gila is. MAN!!! When he came on he had that header cleared off the line and I thought WOW, what's wrong with this guy?

Exactly. Lippi must have either been some kind of Palermo fan when he was young or he is really good friends with the Palermo president. Those are the only reasons I can think of, why he would choose Zaccardo over Oddo.

And you're right about the problem that we have at RB, Cafu' is tecnically our ONLY RB and he is 36 years old. At LB we have serginho who I think is still very useful for us, (even if dst doesn't seem to think so) we have Janku, Favalli (if there is some kind of major emergency he is good, only if the emergency is major) and Maldini can still play there if needed.

Oh and Oddo is the same age as the English student, sure he isn't that young anymore but for a defender I say he is still at a good age.

Yeah when I wrote that, that's what I was thinking about, but I think that he would be worth the money (at least more then Ronaldo).

Plus Milan Lab would get him into much better shape much faster

Gila didn't touch Pippo in that m,iss, they simply both went in for the ball, and Pippo only touched the ball but I think he didn't know that the ball was that strongly hit, so it flew over.

Oddo made some pinpoint crosses , especially in the end of the first half. And come on he only hit the ball really hard once. But I agree with you in the last few minutes he was working in a lot of space and didn't really do anything, I guess he got a bit tired because he was the only one making the runs and trying to cross, because on the left side nothing was happening, so he had to take all the attacking responsability, and he is not that much attack-minded he is more defensive.

Yes I know he played only once, still, he was in that team and at least practiced with them a lot, so we cannot say that the players/defenders today were strange to him...Also it seems to me Lippi had not much faith in Oddo.

[han2503]

Well Lippi has his doggedness like all of us I think ... Del Piero played most of the matches ... what a joke; I wouldn't have picked him up in the first place!!!

Well DP wasn't that much of a big surprise that he was ther, he was always Lippi's favourite, and I did think he deserved it a bit, he had a good season at Juve, even if he almost never played, and from the friendlies he had played he had proved that he could still be useful to the team. The big joke I think was Iaquinta, how many goals did he score last season? And they where all from penalties. And Lippi always played him OVER PIPPO, that should be reason enough to question his ways

On the Serginho issue; I'm not saying he is not useful to us. All I'm saying is that we can't field both Silvio's boy and Cafu at the same time no more. It has to be one of them and you know Serginho won't be benched (and rightfully between the two - Oh Janku's gonna have another miserable year).

Yeah that is what I was saying a few days ago, those 2 can't play with eachother, I think the best solution would be to play Bonera when playing Serginho and Janku when playing Cafu', we look at the team we are going to play against and see where their week spot is, if it's their left side we use Cafu, if it's their right sied we use Serginho. Simple as that. Like for example in bayern game, it was so obvious how week their right side was, Serginho was tearing threw them and making a lot of dangerous crosses which resulted in 2 goals.

Oh and Oddo ... I meant he's young for Milan  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)   (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Gila just has some kind of curse on him, I'm sure of it, after I saw his header being cleared off the line tonghit I'm more convinced about this

Fate's just punishing him for he's so full of himself when he scores; he just has to let that down

Come on Gila always does that (that facial expression) even when he misses a good chance. I think we talked about this before and we came to the conclusion that he has a facial defect (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Oh and you know Pippo is unique, I don't think there is any other striker that celebrates that entusiastically as he does, you can see that he is really thankful that he is still able to play and score after the injuries he suffered

I was actually looking for that pic. ... he looks like he's thinking: "Oh my I'm a f@cking mother nature's miracle, what the f@ck did I do again ... applaud people applaud!!!"

Of course I was, I just don't believe that he makes that expression because he's arrogant.

He's too young now .. He might be under the influence over how BIG his father is at Milan and is showing promise as for the Maldini legacy in Milan. But still, he's too young, for all we know he might turn out to be a hockey player (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)   (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Still, I feel it's still early, cz by that time, I don't think Berlusconi would still be incharge .. *Damn the ideas that go through my head are crazy* .. We might get inbeded into Corporate American (no offence, but) and turn out like Man U with Glazer. That would be a nightmare !!! (taking into concideration that the #3 shirt will be given away sooner, rather than l8r for marketing reasons..)

doesnt it say on the official website under the new numbers article that Kaka will wear number 3?

Far too harsh IMO. I think the that Gila felt the pressure of playing for a big club last season and that is why he seemed tense. He still scored 17 though which is very good, in fact his goal tally in the Serie A is phenomenal and of the top of my head I can't think of a striker with a better strike ratio over three seasons than Gila. Hopefully, after playing in the WC, he will show us this season that he is ready to lead our attack (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)
