QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Oct 25 2016, 06:31 PM)  Really? As far as I'm concerned Bertolacci is a big shot (already failed one season), Mati is dubious whereas Sosa struggles to find himself a position in the team. Man, if we wanna rebuild, if we wanna winning and playing well, we need to look beyond those three. And I see your point. So the question is what options are there in January, compared to the summer. I'm pretty sure that as much as it hurts, we'll find it difficult to carry on this early momentum till the end of the season. We're going to struggle in patches and if we can hit the winter 5 points off the top place then it's great. Remember the goal this season is to finish in Europe, and we should be careful about who we purchase. Next summer, Milan can look to make the big buys and thus give them a whole pre-season to settle into the team. |

I agree with Jack here, unless we can get rid of some of the dead wood in January than I doubt we will be looking to make big splashes. If we are in the hunt in January, I would say just make some background moves and let this team get a season of consistency under its belt. However, I don't think we will still be in such a good position come January. Success takes consistency and growing pains and getting them out this year would leave us with a bigger budget next summer and the ability to build a powerful competitive unit.
I'm of the mindset that when it comes down to it, teams with players who can change the flow of a game will earn their money. We have few game changers and a shallow bench and I think that will show over time. That being said, Verratti is a dream, Pavoletti at best is a sub. I think we need to look into a defender and an upgrade to Suso's position. After that, we are looking at needing a new midfielder or two and maybe another seconda punta who can play multiple forward positions. |

Transfer confusion at Milan
By Football Italia staff It’s reported there is transfer confusion at Milan, as Adriano Galliani isn’t working with Massimiliano Mirabelli. The Rossoneri are in the midst of a takeover, with Sino-Europe Sports looking to take control of the club from Silvio Berlusconi’s Fininvest. If and when the deal goes through, Mirabelli will be installed as the sporting director, and will therefore be responsible for recruitment. However, he cannot know what kind of funds will be available, and according to calciomercato.com he doesn’t have a direct link with Coach Vincenzo Montella. Galliani, therefore, is proceeding as normal and has been asked by Montella to get a winger and another midfielder. The ownership situation means that talks have not been opened over any deals yet though, leaving the Diavolo in an awkward position for January. |

Nah, the media just want something to chew on.
The winter transfer business is currently with Galliani, when the sale of Milan is perfected that shall be handed over the same day to Mirabelli; hence there is no nonsense but only noise (noise as what the media are stirring, which sells inevitably (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) Plus, the sale is to happen next month while the winter transfer window will be open after that date. Hence wouldn't Mirabelli be surprised that he is already in contact with players the Chinese have earmarked. |

Speaking of rumors, 7 names which comprise basically of Milan bench players .. the Milan new management want them gone. Milan are not disclosing whom they are, but my bed is the fodder will go this winter.

Milan are not disclosing whom they are, but my bed is the fodder will go this winter. I'll take a shot at it: 1. Luiz Adriano 2. Keisuke Honda 3. Andrea Poli 4. R. Ely 5. L. Vangioni 6. M. Pasalic 7. J.Sosa (?) The last one is a long shot, since we just got him in. But yeah, I don't think these names have a future in the club. They'll probably be gone in the winter or the summer. I don't think a mass exodus will do us good. It will leave us with a very tiny squad. |

Fassone will fly to China tomorrow or more likely on Monday, where he will stay for a week and will meet Han Li, Li Yonghong and the sponsors. An objective of the Chinese is to further reduce the number of investors (currently 7-8), in order to increase the shares of new owners. The Chinese aim to close the deal between 18-22 November. But the closing will likely arrive at the end of November, or in the first days of December. Meanwhile Mirabelli is continuing to make contacts with other clubs. Then there will be a meeting with Montella to plan the January market. #GdS

Milan are thinking about another Japanese player (as Honda is expected to leave), and are considering Shinji Okazaki of Leicester. #PremiumSport

QUOTE Galliani: 'Milan CEO or nothing' Milan CEO Adriano Galliani warned he is “not prepared to remain” at the club in any other role after the Chinese takeover. The new owners are expected to complete the closing by the end of November and have already appointed directors for the future infrastructure. “I am not prepared to remain at Milan with any role that is not CEO. I was not asked by anyone, but after 30 years I would not accept a different role to the one I have already filled,” Galliani told Mediaset Premium. “I am not prepared to remain in the Board of Directors either. There has to be at least some respect for a career path.” This afternoon Milan host Pescara at San Siro and Massimo Oddo returns to face his former club for the first time as a Coach. “He wanted to be a director originally, then chose to be a Coach. He’s one of the immortals, in the Milan Hall of Fame.” There was criticism of the Rossoneri after a 3-0 midweek defeat to Genoa, as the team showed a lack of strength in depth. “Milan have an entire midfield missing due to injury, while for various reasons we are without three of the five full-backs. In attack M’Baye Niang had a fever until a few hours ago. “The squad is good both in terms of quality and quantity.” Buh-bye! And the last line is why he won't be missed We might have quantity but we certainly don't have quality |

Think it is healthy for both Milan and Galliani to part ways, especially specific to Milan. History will always be on his side as he was instrumental in making Milan the brand me and you know or knew.
Otherwise I couldn't care less to what happens to him in terms of his future and I am anxious to see what the new incoming management has in store for us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) QUOTE (han2503 @ Oct 30 2016, 09:31 PM) Buh-bye! And the last line is why he won't be missed We might have quantity but we certainly don't have quality Where does the team sit on the table han? Let's be fair. Currently galliani is the go-to guy for this club and as such he has to comment such comments. Fiat's ceo talks about his cars as if they were Mercedes Benz or Ferrari but we all know it isn't. Same concept applies here. Soon we will have a new ceo, and you expect him to comment on the team 'while in season' stating the team lacks quality or quantity? Or that this player is bad and whatnot? A person in the arena will have different pressures and tactics than a spectator that is in constant 'tranquilized obviousness'. |

Galliani had his days, and as a Milan fan I truly appreciate what he has done for the team. Having said that, his last years have been a complete disaster, and it is time for him to leave (don't even understand his latest statements, does he really expect to keep running the club?). And, yes, we are third, but the problems in the squad are quite clear, and that's mostly his responsibility.

Well I agree that they won't tell you it's a sh!tty car but they don't try to tell you it's a Ferrari either, which Galliani has constantly tried to do over the years. Remember that "il club piu titolato al mondo" propaganda when we were already slipping down? I think he still thinks this is the 80s and people are still gullible and believe what you tell them simply because you're the club CEO I'm not saying that he should be slamming the players, but he should stop trying to take people for a ride when everyone can see that quality is gravely lacking in this squad and the fact that we're 3rd for right now has nothing to do with the individual quality of the players This is him trying to toot his own horn, almost giving himself a pat on the back for a job well done in the summer. Forgetting the fact that he made an entire mess of the mercato just like he has done for the past decade or so barring a few good moves which were later reversed (Silva, Ibra) |
