Yep. Especially if we only have UEFA Cup football next season, then we'd be lucky to get Frey!

Amelia it is then

On another note, i heard Mellberg gave 3,200 travelling fans signed shirts from his own money (£40,000) after the West Ham match

That is an incredible act of generosity, which is none to prevalent these days, with massive ego's in footballers

Yep, he's the man. He said he'd liked to have done it for the home game, but it would have cost him around £500,000 to do it, and he's only on about £20,000 a week, so it's not something he could really afford.

This is the kind of thing that make fans remember a player. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

damn that sux.   I thought he was villa faithful.

He agreed to join them in January. But while we're disappointed he's not staying, both the manager and the fans know who deserves a shot at the CL. he stayed with us while we were fighting relegation and turned down moves to the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle and Spurs who were in Europea year after year. He's now 30 and gave us his best years, so I'm glad he'll be getting a shot at the CL!

Loyalty works both ways. He was loyal to us, stayed with us through all the ****, now I think it's only right we pay him back by letting him move on to try and acheive something big in his career.

Barzagli linked with Wolfsburg. Why have we not made a move for him and Zaccardo

They're not Brazilian that's why. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Nice!

Did not know his story... I thought he was just another money-whore! I'm glad he's not, the world of football needs more players like him!

Something tells me you'd have liked Mellberg to come over with us, Kurt, instead of the Zebras? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I'd personally have loved him in Milan instead of Juve, seeing as I don't see the black and whites mounting a serious challenge for quite some time. They'd go to the quarters and semis, like Inter and Roma. It's going to be the usual English suspects, and the big three (Milan, Madrid and Munich), with an odd alternate club for Europe's top prize for the foreseeable future.

[acid911]

Not to mention we're seriously lacking in good defenders. The Swede would have been a good option for the next 3 or more years. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sleepysmiley03.gif)

[kurtsimonw]

Yes, I'd definitly prefered Mellberg at Milan to Juve, and according to reports we were in the race for him, but I doubt we actually made an offer as he'd have picked Milan over Juve for sure! Ah well, I can always hope Juve come 2nd to Milan next season. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[acid911]

Yeah, we sue could have used his services at the back, which is very thin. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Someone classy, while at the same time, one that doesn't create much trouble in the locker room (Kaladze, anyone?). But Milan transfer policies are one of the greatest mysteries in life. We've passed on some very decent deals in the last couple of years. The money we got from Sheva sale should have been spent on at least 3 world class players in each position.

Oh well, dream mode off. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Kaladze sure is a lickerish lad... he must be giving some good job to Barbara or/and Carletto thus he's got his place secured... sadly enough, I can't see him being benched... of course I'd rather not ever see him again!

According to the Barca Paper Sport - its just been announced that Barca have offered 20 million ronaldinho and zambrotta for kaka!!

...and possibly Deco!

I don't think it will happen - atleast I hope not!

It was an amusing read. I understand Spanish better than I'd thought.

I especially liked this:

Kaká es el gran sueño de Joan Laporta

(Kaka is the great dream of Joan Laporta)

and this:

Ronaldinho + Zambrotta + 20 millones de euros, y Deco si fuera necesario, podría hacer realidad uno de los sueños del FC Barcelona

(Ronaldinho + Zambrotta + 20 million euros, and Deco if necessary to realize one of the dreams of FC Barcelona)


It would seem that Joan Laporta shares Ramon Calderon's dreams and enthusiasms. Has someone drugged the water consumed by club presidents in Spain? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/96.gif) (the fish doll denies he did it)

I thikn that this one's about as reliable as the 'Kaka to Real' rumors last year.
