Milan President Silvio Berlusconi is ready to splash out a monumental £70m on new signings for the club.

The Corriere dello Sport claims that the former Italian Prime Minister has finally accepted that the Rossoneri need to invest in some new blood if they are to continue to compete at the top level.

Berlusconi will make £25m available in January, and the remaining £45m will be spent in the summer.

Top of the shopping list according to the Italian newspaper are Azzurri stars Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluca Zambrotta, Palermo striker Amauri, Valencia midfielder David Albelda and Lyon’s Kim Kallstrom.

Milan have made the worst start to a domestic season since Berlusconi took over the club 21 years and currently sit in 13th place in the table.

A major factor in the European Champions’ poor form has been their transfer campaign in the summer just past.

Only the 31-year-old Emerson and the 34-year-old Ibrahim Ba, two players way past their best, were brought to the club.

Teenage wonderkid Alexandre Pato was also signed from Internacional, although he is ineligible to play until January.

Actually, the Cannavaro bid won't surprise me much. But it will probably be in the summer. He's probably meant to be our Paolo replacement(for the time being). And he'll play alongside Nesta. That would be fun.

I'd guess that it would make sense, since he's not truly indispensable for Real, and if he moves to Milan it might be his last contract, so maybe chances for a lesser wage.

Then again, I'd expect him to have gone onto Napoli to end his career, esp with them back in Serie A and all.

Zambrotta...yes please!!! I wanted him since the summer before this. He wanted us too. F@ckin Juve were such pussies.

David Albelda is a holding mid. Unless D& G are not happy with Emerson for a model, I don't see a reason.

Amauri?? Thank you..drive through.

Kim Kallstrom?? Where?? Unless Yoann is being loaned out next season or in the winter...I don't see this happening.

Drogba?? Well I dunno. Depends on how Gila plays till winter. And I always got the feeling that Drogba worked excellently with long balls, crosses and such. But that's not really the kind of service he's gonna get from Kaka and Seedorf. So in this case, dst asking for Villa has merit. Which is also why Benzema and Huntelaar would do well too.

Any further reports on the Simic-Zebina swap deal?

R10. I'm bored with this. I think Silvio is too. At least I'd like to think so.
He was the reason Ricardo Oliveira was brought in, and it didn't work out too well. I also get the feeling R10's just gonna come in and do a Rivaldo to us. Just a bad vibe, that's all.


As much as I'd like Ballack he's probably going to Porty's merengues down in Madrid. German coach and all.

The only person left whom I'd like is I guess Huntelaar. Somehow, the Hunter and the Duck sounds very nice to my ears. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But then again, if Pippo's staying on for one more season, and Ajax like us enough to wait a year, that would be much better. But he's almost certainly either for Juve or to Madrid.
