Many rumors. Mediaset, Calciomercato and goal.com among others mention two names: Agger (Liverpool) and Munoz (Boca Juniors). Since they both are young we could give them at least a chance.

Milan Linked With Boca Juniors Defender
Milan have been linked with Boca Juniors defender Ezequiel Munoz...
The names of the players linked with Milan often change, but it seems the club is always linked with a central defender as they seem to constantly exhibit problems in the area of the pitch.

The Rossoneri have conceded a few soft goals this season and have had to deal with the injury enforced absences of Alessandro Nesta (pictured) and Phillipe Senderos at the back. Furthermore, they must look for a replacement for the aging Paolo Maldini, who will retire at the end of the season.

On Monday, the Rossoneri were linked with Boca Juniors defender Ezequiel Munoz. According to Calciomercato, Milan have already begun negotiations for the 18-year-old, who is highly expected to achieve great things.

However, it is likely that Milan will have to fend off plenty of competition for the player, in the form of Porto, Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid.

Milan's defence has looked extremely shaky in their last two matches. They have conceded 5 goals in total to Palermo and Torino.

Milan To Make A Move For Agger?

Alarm bells are ringing in defence for the Rossoneri but the club have the key to resolve the problem, the only thing is that it's in Liverpool...

Milan's 3-1 loss to Palermo at the weekend has caused the alarm bells to start ringing at San Siro and the race for a defender is now on.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti and vice-president Adriano Galliani were furious following the loss in Sicily and they have made a plan to bring in some muscle at the back during the transfer window.

Arsenal's loss, well, is Arsenal's gain as Philippe Senderos has been shocking at the back for the Rossoneri.

Paolo Maldini can't keep going and Alessandro Nesta's constant injury woes have led the club to look elsewhere.

Il Corriere Dello Sport claims Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has been added onto the Italian club's Christmas wishlist.

Ancelotti is a keen admirer of the stopper but his contract expires in 2010.

However, 'The Reds' debts are in Milan's favour as the Merseysiders could consider selling their man. €8 million should be enough to take Agger to San Siro.

Agger? No thankyou. We need somebody World class, not just 'good'.

[Habitant]

i may have seen this guy a few times since i'll watch the odd boca game, bu theres no way carlo is going to play this guy (not that i blame him. i know nothing about this guy) but even agger who should be considered for a starting spot wont get the time of day.

they need to be a big name, played 3-4 years with milan or be over 30 for carlo to even consider them.

we need help in our starting 11, not depth.

[Habitant]

Agger? No thankyou. We need somebody World class, not just 'good'.

agger > kaladze/senderos

agger = bonera

maldini just cant keep up with anyone with pace and nesta is always injured.

so with our present situation i would consider him.

btw liverpool have one of the best defenses in the world, and i've seen him play well many times and i like his aggressiveness on set pieces.

These names sound plausible. Agger more so, because we would prefer someone with CL experience. However in January?? I think not...

However Agger is doubtful, unless the player puts pressure. Rafa will overprice his players as usual. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Daniel Agger for 15 mill...I'm sure.

Milan won't sign anyone in january (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

according to Carlo. It's too bad, we need defensive cover badly.

Moris thinks of Milan
Wednesday 3 December, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Palermo stopper Moris Carrozzieri is dreaming of a move to Italian and European giants Milan.

The imposing central defender has been paired with the Rossoneri of late after a bright start to life in Sicily.

“A transfer to Milan? If only,” smiled the 28-year-old. “After all, I have a lot of friends already there…”

Milan are struggling for centre-backs with Alessandro Nesta still suffering with injury, while summer buy Philippe Senderos has had his fitness troubles too.

“I grew up on the streets and have got to where I am today without any recommendations,” added the Giulianova native who doesn't seem to be a typical Milan target. “I'm stubborn but generous.”

Carrozzieri also wanted to thank Palermo chief Maurizio Zamparini for his recent show of faith in his abilities.

Palermo were being linked with a move for Lazio stopper Emilson Cribari, but the fiery chief seems to be happy with what he has.

“When Zamparini was asked about Cribari he simply responded by saying that he would keep his Carrozzieri,” added the Italian.

“That was a great thing to say. It's very pleasing to hear such things.”

Carrozzieri is an old-fashioned rugged centre-back who may lack technique but not tenacity.

Having started his career in Serie B with Castel Di Sangro back in 1997, he's appeared in Serie A for Sampdoria and Atalanta.

He joined Palermo in the summer at the request of the now axed Stefano Colantuono.

I saw him play mostly for Atalanta. He wasn't bad, very strong, aerialy tuff and stable. But I don't like him. Reminds me to much of Matrix.

In terms of cover, we're actually OK. Senderos, Kaladze, Maldini, Nesta and Bonera. 5 legitimate central defenders. The problem is that too many get injured too often, and Senderos isn't Milan quality.

That's why I can't see Galliani/Carletto going for a defender in Jan. As far as they're concerned, the cover is there and is good. Nevertheless, we do need a young, top-class, central defender.

I don't think either Senderos or Kaladze are Milan quality, and as you said, injuries are a problem. I'd be surprised if Nesta and Maldini even play 40 games combined this season!

Welcome, by the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Kaladze has been poor this year. Was solid a few years back, but errors have started to creep into his game. The fact Bonera is starting to be the preferred choice to partner Maldini (in Nesta's absence) speaks volumes.

[Jack Sparrow]

I think Kaladze is Milan class, but not first XI class, esp lately. IMO, he's still one of the best clutch CBs in the world. Superb second choice...

We've got the best second choice and third choice CBs in the world in Kala and Fav...problem is they're playing as first choice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

i hope to see sergio Ramos with the team because the team need Ramos material ( Young and Fast )

[chelseafanlello]

Talking about good CB's, i'm not saying this cause i am a chelsea supporter, but Alex, he is a good center back, and just can't find his place in our starting eleve. He is strong in the air, and has a powerful shot, and sometimes helps in offence. He can be perfect for AC Milan. He isn't young, and he isn't old. (26 Years Old). Or maybe even Philippe Mexes from Roma or Chiellini from Juve, and even Branislav Ivanovic was linked with a move to milan, from what i hear.
