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.
QUOTE 02/12/2008 02:51 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. QUOTE 02/12/2008 13:32
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. Salvatore Landolina, Goal.com |

Thing is, acid, it seems to me like a lot of folks aer saying yes to Brazilians just because they're Brazilians. And I don't like that. Also, to me an Italian core isn't 50% +1. It's ideally something more like 75%.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif) Problem is I don't see that happening much, in this generation. The time of guys like Maldini, Nesta, Inzaghi, Pirlo, Gattuso, and friends has come and gone. The new batch is decent, if not spectacular, and spectacular is a must for club like Milan. I'd take players from other nationalities if no other Italian is available that is equal to or better than them. We have to win games, after all. What good is an all Italian club if it can't win regularly! |

What good is an all Italian club if it can't win regularly! I don't have any problem with Kaka or Ronaldinho or Pato playing for Milan. I just think there are too many brazilians right now. And I'm sure Italy can offer better defenders then Thiago Silva. |

And I'm sure Italy can offer better defenders then Thiago Silva. a bit convenient to say this. sure emerson and dida are replaceable with comparable non-Brazilian talent..it hasn't always been that way, when we had cafu and serginho i wouldn't have traded them for anybody. Hell, I would swap Kaladze for Lucio, Favalli with Kleber..it's not a question of their nationality, it's their quality. It's no coincidence that Milan like Brazilians. The footballers from that country have EARNED their right to play in the club. i'm going to mark these words abt thiago silva. exactly how can you be so sure. have we seen him play? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) if our central pairing this season to date was thiago silva and daniel agger i'm "sure" we'd be doing a lot better than we have been with the maldini, favalli, kaladze big 3. yea, said it. |

You can anticipate the other comment which logically follow my answer. Up till now I had no problem having the brazilian factor around. Kaka, Pato, Cafu, Serginho - all players i rate highly and think we're the most incredible representatives of their nationality. Also, they had exemptional personalities. The thing is, I in generally don't think it's good to have a dominant foreign contingent. Any. So you understand, I'd be argueing the same points about too many Croatians, Germans, Austrians, Swedes or Liberians in the team. I'm not a racist, nor do I have anything against Brazil. I just don't think the brazilian way is a solution for a defense of AC Milan. And if we sign Alex, next season we'll be watching Alex-Silva for a good part of the season. Now let me ask, would you mind it? |
