For the next season --

Gianluca Zambrotta (we should try everything possible to bring him back)
Miroslav Klose (who will be avaible)
Phillip Lahm (would be nice for both sides)
Mancini (should also be considered)
Luka Modrić (the new Croatian star is very young and has much to offer)
Klas Huntelaar (another striker option)
Christian Chivu (doing very well at Roma)
Ronaldinho (well, you know everything about him...)
Adriano (would be my wish, but I don`t see him as a real option)
Drogba (maybe...)

And above all, some new talents from Africa, SA, Europe,...

Plus Frank Rijkaard

It looks like Roman Abramovich`s list, but we need some real reinforcements right now.. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

wow mate that's some list!!
don't agree with all of them but most of them for sure (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

He's called Marzoratti. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I think somone else was in my mind (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

For the next season --

Off of that list I would take Zambrotta, Chivu and Klose. Also, another young talented RB and a young striker are needed.

I think we'd be more than alright with those five. Three experienced players and two younger not so costly ones. It would all cost... as much as Ronaldinho! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

We've already signed Zebina as Cafu's substitute and I don't see our board spending more cash on a third RB. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Wow! I think that's too drastic.

Imo for the defence it would be Zambrotta who is better in the LB area, so we would be covered in the fullback reagion with him and Oddo.

Chivu only, but I think it would be interesting to see what Bonera can do next to Nesta. We might not need someone high profile in the summer just get rid of the wastes of space and get in someone good to cover.

I don't want Adriano, we have Ronaldo, and imo he p!sses all over Adriano, he's not even fit yet and he's already done half of what Adriano couldn't do in the entire season in just one game.

If Inzaghi leaves then Huntellaar definately but not Drogba. And Klose would be great but I can't see where we could fit him in.

Ronaldinho is more of a comodity rather then a neccesaty, if he comes, great if he doesn't I can think of better ways to spend all that money on. Mainly on a good midfielder, someone like Essien, who can cover various roles on the pitch and is a great athlete that can run for days and injects speed into our slow midfield

I think Galliani confirmed it. He said he met Zebina in some dinner ceremony and they agreed... kinda of.

Oh. Well he's experienced. I think Oddo will be our first-choice RB for some more years to come so for a back-up he's more than good in my view.

At least for another 3 or for years he'll be....

And about that list...the first thing that comes to my mind is: Adriano, Drogba and Huntelaar? Plus Oli, Gila, Pippo and the fat one this would mean we had more strikers than Real.... I think selling Oli and buying another class striker maybe a young one, would be more than enough. Even I think it's useless to buy Klose after the arrival of the fat one. As much as I would love to see them play together they're to similar, and Klose won't fit in....
I agree that something in the defense has to be changed. But I think everyone who has watched Milan games in the last 2 years knows that, and we've talked about it more than once on this forum....
For me our most important target should be another option for the central midfield. I don't wanns throw around any names here, but maybe someone like Xabi Alonso or Hleb would help us (now I'm throwing around names...)

@LaPalma: One name just came to mind out of nowhere (really... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), it's Xabi Alonso, Loverpool's best player and among Inghilterra's top ones. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

Hleb (huh ?? where did that come from ?) is not what we need IMO. But he's an amazing player too.

[Jack Sparrow]

But Hleb and Xabi are different types of players. But we do need a holding/linking type of MF. Yoann was meant to phase out Seedorf I guess. But who do we have for Pirlo?? I mean as a back up, say if Pirlo was injured or something.

When it comes to Milan's style of play unfortunately, it hinges too much on Pirlo, getting through to Seedorf.

Yes, true. But I really like the young offensive ones, and that`s where Oddo doesn`t fit in. I must say, I`m not the biggest fan of Oddo at all (I suppose you know that from some earlier posts... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) )..

Maybe this would sound too drastic, but we have serious defensive problems so:

1) The No. 1 keeper (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) . Dida? Maybe one more year, but...Kalac and Storari should both be considered as third choices, cause I really don`t see anything good with them. My goodness, remember the days when we had Abbiati as second choice! Now, we need a great No.1, like Gigi or someone else, not including Amelia IMO. Second keeper should be rather a young potential than a prospectless waist. Amelia, Doni, and some others should be in for that...

2) I think Bonera is awfull...just awfull...even Kaladze and Å imić are better.
Billy, Cafu - retirement
Fav - he should find himself a proper team. like Torino or Siena.
Bonera - only for cup matches, but I wouldn`t doubt getting rid of him if some proposal jumps in, or better, include him in a better deal (maybe the Chivu one)
Å imić and Kala - should stay as backups

Klose is a greatfull player and I`m positive that he would find his position. Ronaldo? He is good at the moment, but I don`t treat him as a permanent and serious salvation of our attacking problems (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ! He is great, but that greatness is very relative and unpredictable. So we need serious players, with freshness and new spirit, not just former players of the year on wich we can`t rely for sure..

But, as I sead, a talented young striker would do it. Klose and that talent one. Man I miss Weah...

We could need Ro, think of all positive side effects...all shirt sells, much much extra incomes...

Essien? Well, now you remided me!! I forgot someone very important - Dani Alves (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) !? I think that`s the one...

Also to mention some smaller transfers with the mid-tabel teams, players for backup`s. But for that kind of players I won`t bother thinking of names and create lists.. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

How can you think Bonera is bad? Have you seen him playing any of the matches these past 2 months. He has been amazing.

I don't think Amelia would come to Milan or any other team for that matter to sit on the bench.

If we get all those strikers you mentioned there won't be any space for Klose, same goes for Adriano, who imo is still a cheap knock-off of Ronaldo. And R9 might not be a long term solution but he is the guy that is equal to Sheva, we were promised of gettin and he is here and he has certainly delivered so far.

I personally think Bonera next to Nesta will be rock solid.

We need something extra in midfield and it could be that Barusso guy.

As for R10, sure he would be great but the ammount of money we are offering Barca for him and his wages is rediculous to say the least.

Well Amelia should accept such an offer. I think he isn` the right one for now to take full responsibility. I mean, he can take the responsibilty of Livorno and their season goals, but with Milan...well, let us say with great power comes greater responsibility. Sure, I would tip him to be Milan keeper No.1 in 07/08 if we would have a bench keeper like Abbiati who could allways jump in an make some solid matches. But with Kalac and Storari we have to "relegation-class" keepers, and can`t take the risk of an unsure keeper. And Amelia is sure a future potential, but he is still green... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Bonera? I saw him against Siena. I suppose, I missed some matches last month, but hey, that where clashes against mid-teams. For the real games, CL final stages and scudetto runs, we can`t rely on him...For me, he is somewhere between Å imić and Kaladze (who is above Dario, but still). To say it simple, he is not a "champion material". Not even near to Billy, Paolo or Jaap, the players who took the big matches besides Nesta all these years.

As for the strikers. Course I don`t think we should by all of them! I would be mad (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...But I don`t think Ronaldo is equal to Sheva. Sure, he was equal, for moments even bigger. But now? I don`t think so..
