I thought an announcement wasn't going to be made until Monday.

Is Galliani trying to upstage Berlu or something?

No its just if he didn't say anything he would be shot. Tifosi are gathering in via turati by the 100s

[Bluesummers]

Oliveira? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) no, why so say that?

Do you remember when sheva left? They said the same thing. We are sorry this happened but we promise a great attacker will come! Then came oli who at that point was like lavezzi is right now.

We should calm down a bit...

Yeh its the best time to calm down and let galliani sell San Siro, make seedorf our next captain and change our name to FC Pirelli for sponsorship purposes.

The CL victory was an excuse for staying inactive in the transfer window. It justified our abstinence and the board used that victory to say "we're fine as we are". A year without trophies would have triggered at least a couple of changes in the squad which would be enough for Milan to reach 4th place at least. No changes were made and the result of that was Milan finishing 5th place. The CL is huge money which not even the Ronaldinho and Beckham brands could cover as it is proved now.

We get what we deserve.

Makes sense. except the last line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) it's not our fault the management make mistakes!

If Kaka leaves and we do not get at least 4 new promising players, I am boycotting any matches until galliani and berlusconi leave. and everybody else should do the same.

We're not going to get 4 players! If this sale is for economic reasons and not for footballing reasons then we won't spend more than half of it if any at all!

Do you remember when sheva left? They said the same thing. We are sorry this happened but we promise a great attacker will come! Then came oli who at that point was like lavezzi is right now.

Not even close. Oliveira was nobody when he came and he surely was not destined to become a big player for Milan. Lavezzi is a much greater prospect.

Oli was 25 when we signed him and came off top goal scorer. He was one of the most demanded strikers at that time. Why do you think we paid 20+ for him.

Not that I'm justifying this, but this is hardly the first time a superstar has been let go for financial purposes. Probably not the best example, but anyone who's ever watched WWE will remember that McMahon was forced to release Bret Hart (then the heavyweight champion) because he couldn't afford to keep him in the company.

He was 26 when he joined us, he was not top scorer (unless you mean Betis' top scores which means nothing) and he surely was not courted by any other big club. We got him for 15m.

Or maybe you could have talked about Zidane or Nesta... but that's not really related to football...

We got him for 15m.

And, judging by his scoring ratio, earned 5m for every Serie A goal he scored. Talk about paying dividends. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

no we signed him at 25, he turned 26 here. He had a pretty high scoring record. I thought it was 20 million but I guess not. Well we got 40 for sheva so i guess it makes sense. 30% goes to transfers.

First example I thought of, so don't feed me to the lions.

But now that you mention it, Juve survived just fine after dumping Zidane (they later signed some guy named Buffon), so there's no reason why we can't. It was Calciopoli that did them more damage than anything.

The management should have done everything possible to convince Gourcuff to come back when they knew they'd sell Kaka and there'd be a big hole left in the midfield. we could have had a decent replacement for him now...

This was one of their biggest managerial gaffes ever. stupid, stupid, stupid.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has stated that Kaka will not be moving to Premier League outfit Chelsea this summer.

It had been reported that the Blues had hoped to hijack Real Madrid's offer of €65m (£56m) by launching a bid of €84.7 million (£73.5m) for the Brazil international.

However, Galliani is adamant that the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year will either join los Blancos during the close-season or stay at the San Siro, ruling out a move to Stamford Bridge.

"An agreement with Chelsea could not exist. Kaka goes to Real or he remains at Milan," Galliani told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

"That is his choice and we are doing everything in complete agreement."

Galliani also confirmed that the Rossoneri are in talks with los Merengues with regard to the 27-year-old's transfer, but insists that it is not yet a done deal.

"Negotiations [with Real] do exist, but an agreement is not done," Galliani added.

I doubt it was his choice to move. He pretty much was asked to pick a club and he chose madrid. Thats why chelsea is not possible because like mancity he would not move there.


the agreement is over whether or not we'll get a player out of this or more money and kaka's wage, therefore it is yet to be agreed. But i'm sure it will happen.
