QUOTE Toni Set For Milan Move? AC Milan are set to begin negotiations with Bayern Munich in the hope of signing their star striker Luca Toni, according to La Repubblica. Rossoneri have identified a top-class centre forward as their number one priority in this summer’s transfer market. Toni only signed for Bayern Munich last summer from Fiorentina, however he has been a huge hit in Germany, and is currently the joint top-scorer of the Bundesliga with 14 goals. Milan are ready to bid €10m for the giant hitman, as they aim to begin their rebuilding process following a hugely disappointing season. The chances of Toni moving to Milan are said to be promising as the Milan vice president is known to have a good relationship with Bayern supremo Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. A possible obstacle however could be Toni’s current annual salary of almost €6m a season. The striker, who turns 31 in a couple of months, may also wait and see if Milan qualify for next season’s Champions League before consenting to the move. Toni has never played in Europe’s premier club competition, and Milan are struggling to qualify as they are currently fifth in Serie A, four points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina. Anthony Sormani If this were to ever come true I would be like a kid on Christmas morning. Please Santa. I've been a good boy all year and what I would really like for July is Luca Toni to play at Milan. SANTA! SANTA YOU HAD BETTER BE LISTENING! |

O, you're very modest to what you ask from Santa.
Luca Toni is not a good present if you've been a good boy all year. You should be asking for smthing more like Drogba or Benzema. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Why would Bayern sell him for so cheap anyways?
It would have been a great signing a few seasons ago, before he was 30, but he'll be 31. Typical Milan signing, I wouldn't mind him though. |

(He's cute! Buy him!)
This story was running in this morning's press in Italy....right next to the story that claimed Milan were for sure going to sign Drogba and Amauri. |

Toni, Drogba and Amauri? I think the management must have heard about our complaints for too many DMs..

We'll get the best of both worlds: Someone for today, and for the future too. The prospect looks mouth-watering: Kaka > Benzema > Pato > Paloschi. But who am I kidding? Milan of today won't spend 30-40 millions for someone like him. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) As for Toni, I'm impartial to him. He's not the best we can get, and certainly not the worst. Plus, he's decently tall and physical, which could be a welcome change for our front line. |

I actually have watched a bunch of Bayern's games this year and Toni is simply brilliant. That fact said, I think he would be a perfect fit with the current tactics. strong, tall, great shot. Everything we could want and more, and with the way Del Piero has been playing I think Toni can last just as long.

Drogba AND Amauri!?? WOW! That would be sweet... but there's zero chance it could happen... also I think we'd be better off with just Benzema! |

Benzema is a dream, just like Villa or Agüero. No chance for that. Toni? I would love him here, he has that certain Pippo nose for goals and Vieri's constitution, but why would he leave Bayern? He's a king there. Especially now that Klose is totally out of form. |

Yes, it's highly unlikely that we will see Toni at Milan.

Once upon a time Milan. once upon a time expensive transfers. once upon a time world class or at least good players in every position, both on the field & one the bench... Why should the fans of the "number one club in the world" consider a 20yo [whose price tag is not so sky-high] an impossible dream?!

Toni is a fantastic player, but the board should have made a move for him a few years ago.
I would welcome him with open arms, but we should also get a younger striker as he would only last 2-3yrs max This is of course assuming the transfer happens and isnt sensationalist news |
