Nice Pics. God im excited for the Kaka' R10 combo.. that will open up so much space for both of them. Now defenders cant just ride Kaka's *** all game cuz then r10 will have to much space, or vis versa. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

You forgot to mention the one who can take the most advantage of this: Pato! (IMG:http://dingo.care2.com/c2c/emoticons/joytears.gif)

Milanisti may be hailing the arrival of Ronaldinho today, but Antonio Labbate thinks the Brazilian isn’t needed at San Siro

So Milan have finally got their man. Pending the outcome of a medical later today, which will be passed unless he breaks the scales, Ronaldinho will complete his move to the Rossoneri for around £16m. Yet it doesn’t make sense, it just doesn’t make sense.

How many times have we heard Vice-President Adriano Galliani plead poverty this summer after being scared off by the valuation of some of Europe’s top stars? So it is somewhat amusing that the same individual would fly off to Spain and spend the money he has on a player that the Italian giants seemingly have no need for.

The Brazilian represents the icing on the cake to Milan’s transfer campaign, but the problem is that the cake is crumbling. What real wisdom is there in adding Ronaldinho to a squad which already consists of Kaka, Alexandre Pato and Clarence Seedorf? Especially when the side is crying out for reinforcements elsewhere. Who’s putting together the outfit’s transfer strategy? Alessio Secco?

Even if we forget the club’s need for a new No 1 – Silvio Berlusconi has never spent big on a goalkeeper – it’s quite clear that the club should have invested in a fresh central defender and, especially, a centre-forward. Instead, boss Carlo Ancelotti will now have to design a side which is overflowing with attacking midfielders and second strikers, but no target man who can head a ball.

The reality is that Milan perhaps needed Ronaldinho two years ago when they first made their interest clear, not now. He could admittedly turn out to be the signing of the century if he can return to the player we all loved to watch in 2006, but back then he was a certainty and today he is a gamble. A massive one at that.

That’s why this move stinks of a Berlusconi PR exercise. He’s primarily bought Ronaldinho for himself and for the fans, not for the Coach. After all, it is no coincidence that the deal with Barca was completed less than 24 hours before Milan meet up for pre-season training. Expect Berlusconi to fly into Milanello later today to take the plaudits for a transfer which the club insist is a coup, but one which in the long run may turn out to be a costly error.

Watch Milan Channel

Conference and footage of Ronaldinho arriving at Malpensa and Milanello.

Look at Galliani's beeming face on the footage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Leonardo looks dilirious with joy

GALLIANI: 'Mercato in entrata chiuso'
16/07/2008

MILANELLO - Nel corso della conferenza stampa di presentazione, Adriano Galliani ha spiegato che 'il mercato del Milan si chiude con Ronaldinho. Potrebbero partire Paloschi, Abate e Simic. Ma a livello di arrivi abbiamo terminato così, assolutamente'.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) as expected, no more new players.

Apart from the 'big gamble' part I totally disagree with what's been written here. In my opinion creativity and goalkeeping instability have been our main problems in the past two seasons.
Now if we're looking for a player that can cover for both... there's none...
Ronaldinho is better than Kaka as a second striker and he's a better AMF than Seedorf too. So we either leave Seedorf on and play Ronaldinho as an SS with Pato in a more advanced role or bench the Dutch ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) and put Pippo/Borriello next to Pato. I don't rate Borriello but with those guys feeding him (considering R20 remembers how it is...) I don't think we'll have a problem!

Now between the posts... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

We only get players when Galliani says we won't... so let's wait and see. I think we'll buy a low-profile GK or CB.

MILANELLO - Adriano Galliani talked about Ronaldinho's participation to the Beijing Olympics: 'We respect the commitment he made prior to his transfer to Milan, if he had already been a Rossonero he wouldn't have gone but he will be ours in a week and so we will let him go to the Olympics.' For Carlo Ancelotti it will be 'a chance for him to find his condition. When he comes back he will be ready, and there will only be some time necessary for him to become part of the mechanisms."
