Ancelotti wins Milan vote 

Thursday 9 November, 2006 ::: channel4.com

Milan chief Adriano Galliani insists Coach Carlo Ancelotti will remain at the club until his contract expires.

Although the tactician is tied to the Rossoneri until June 2008, speculation suggests that he could leave at the end of the season given his difficulties this term.

However, Galliani has shot down those reports and handed the former midfielder a massive vote of confidence.

“He has a contract with us and will still be on the bench in 2008,” Galliani noted on Thursday night. “That is official and definite.”

Numerous men have been linked with Ancelotti’s job, including Italian World Cup wining boss Marcello Lippi.

“Lippi is a great Coach and I rate him highly. I think there is a friendship between us, but the Milan boss is Ancelotti,” added the ex-Lega Calcio President.

Galliani’s words come just a few hours after Lippi himself ruled out such a switch.

“Me to Milan? No thanks,” stated the cigar smoker. “I have too much respect for Ancelotti.”

Turning to transfer matters, Galliani did suggest that the club are ready to buy even if they may have to forget about a certain Barcelona player.

“I don’t think we can present Ronaldinho to the fans as it seems that Barca won’t sell him,” he continued.

“But our supporters deserve to be rewarded for their passion. If we can get them a present then we will.

“However, I really don’t think it will be Ronaldinho.”

Well, its not that I am crazy about the idea of R10 coming to Milan, but something inside me keeps reiterating that he will be in a Milan jersey next season ..

In anycase, with or without him, Milan need reinforcments as there are many injuries

IF and that's a big if R10 where to come I think it wouldn't be next season but the one after that. And how old will he be by then? Imo I think we would be making the same mistake we did when we got Rivaldo. Plus R10 will come for a much higher price.

I really think that our management should focus on things we really need, like fullbacks, a great CB to go next to Nesta and 1 or 2 forwards or a forward and Huntelaar, since Pippo will probably be ready to retire by next season.

I don't want either Ronaldinho or Carlo to leave. Of course, having Ronnie in our squad would be tempting, but I think he belongs to Barcelona. I would go for people like Higuian, Torres, Alexis, Barzagli, Sneijder, Huntelaar etc.

Exactly.

From your list I would go for Huntelaar, Sneijder, Barzagli and maybe Torres (I'm still not convinced by him, sorry pKiller)
