Toni: I signed for Milan
Friday 4 January, 2008

Azzurri striking star Luca Toni has revealed that he put pen to paper with Milan last summer before joining Bayern Munich.

The towering 31-year-old left Fiorentina for the Bundesliga for around £7m, but he had been contacted by a number of Serie A clubs during his time in Tuscany.

While interest from Inter and Juventus never developed into concrete offers, it now seems that Toni had practically signed for the world champions.

“Everyone knows that I nearly joined Inter two years ago and that Juventus were interested in signing me,” the ex-Brescia man told Il Giornale.

“However, with Milan it went a lot further – I had already signed a contract. I could also have been a Roma player as they nearly signed me when I was playing for Cisco Roma.”

Toni has impressed in the Bundesliga, despite Bayern’s recent woes, but he is still following Serie A with interest.

“Inter are the strongest side and they have a bit more than Roma and Milan,” he stated.

“The Nerazzurri are certainly a better side than the Rossoneri and it isn’t just the derby that shows us that.”

The Modena native’s thoughts then turned to Euro 2008 and Italy’s Group of death with France, Holland and Romania.

“I’m raring to go, but we can feel the responsibility on our shoulders,” he explained.

“It’s not a Group of iron as much as a Group of steel and we can get through. The important thing is to get to the game against France with qualification already assured.”

Toni concluded by giving the peninsula’s giants his tip for the winter transfer window.

“Sign Diego from Werder Bremen,” he commanded. “He is a very, very good player and one of the few fantasistas still around who can decide a game.”

I am not defending Galliani, nor am I his spokes person ... All I'm saying is, he has done more good for Milan than he has done bad. We are all human and can all make mistakes. Being criticized of those mistakes is something normal and it happens in any profession.

In this case in particular, we cant say 'he added Clarence and Ricky as Milan striker to cover up his mistakes of not signing any strikers' ... Why ? Because we have no proof !! What he said was his opinion/his remark to a wise-guy journalist/etc etc .. we really don't have a hard fact to criticize upon!

He has brought all this criticism to himself ?! Alright, criticize him .. But little will it do to change things (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Again, the fact that Kaka is suddenly being listed as a striker on the official site when he has alwasy been listed as a midfielder should be proof enough that that was no joke.

And it is good that you are not his spokes person if you were I would have told you a long time ago that you are being robbed since you don't get paid for what you are doing. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

On the Sheva-Kaka':

Playing them in any system ?! If you play them out of position, they wont be as effective .. that is all i have to say on this matter. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Twisting my words there. I'm not saying play them as the central defenders (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I'm just saying that they will link up well with eachother no matter the system the team plays.

Kaka won the European football of the year award and the world player of the year award for playing as an SS (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Moreover, he won the CL forward award last yr.

He isn't a forward though, but what has the club website got to do with what Galliani said ?!

I'm not twisting ur words .. Yes playing them out of position, doesn't mean playing them as DMs or cbs (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Ok han .. whatever you say. I'm just tiered of going back and forth. We are repeating the same thing over and over again ... It's pointless.

Lets just drop it.
