If I were to have the choice of the two, I'd pick Riquelme. There's no way Inter will sign both, so I really hope we go for whichever one they don't opt for, I doubt it though.

That midget can stay where he is.

As Jake (of video fame) would say, 'Deco Schifo!'. That said, I'd rather see him playing for Milan than the Merda. He IS good.

Decos a brilliant player and would be a great attacking option. He would be one of my top midfielders to grab in this transfer market. Tiago would be another great option but he's going to Juventus.

This is a test for our management. We failed in getting Suazo and some of the top players. If it comes to a battle for Deco and Inter wins it shows that its our managements efforts that are really the weakness.

Anyway, I think Deco or Riquelme are joining Inter, for real.

Deco  >>> Chelsea

Riquelme >>> Inter 

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Jun 26 2007, 08:59 PM

If we are not getting a really good striker then we should bring Riquelme and play him alongside Kaka.

Aint gonna happen - argentinians are pre-destinated to Inter. And who would do better at Inter then Riquelme: he is a natural born looser, just like them...

According to the article Deco is leaving Barca

Inter are targeting him and they don't even need him. We really need reinforcements to remain competitive in league next season. Theres nothing pointing in the direction that we're going to be anything different than last.

Barcelona Not Done With Arsenal? According to a report in The Mirror, Barcelona's will now try to lure Cesc Fabregas away from Arsenal.
Barcelona Not Done With Arsenal?

The Catalan giants have just signed Thierry Henry for around 24 million euros, a move that has created a certain degree of uncertainty around The Emirates.

Barcelona now seem ready to make the most of that and also prise Cesc Fabregas away from the Gunners, according to the Mirror.

Fabregas, a former Barcelona youth team player, was signed by Arsenal from right under their noses as they waited for him to turn 16, and Joan Laporta and Co. have always wanted to bring him back.

The player himself has shown a willingness to return, saying: "It is my dream to return to Barcelona, my childhood club, one day."

With Deco set to leave the club, and Arsenal amid uncertainty, the Barca bosses believe this is the moment to land him, and have prepared a 15 million pound offer (just over 22 million euros).

However, there will be very stiff competition, as Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on the situation, and are almost certain to make an aggressive offer if Barcelona get close.

Arsenal have sounded a 'hands off' warning in an attempt to ward off any such approaches, but the report suggests that unless Arsene Wenger stabilizes the club by committing to a new contract soon, the young midfielder will also want out

Actually, Deco is one of the players Inter do need - a fantasista,...

I doubt that we could be interested, bu, who knows,..

I feel slightly guilty quoting a Portuguese paper before Porty can, but the sports daily O Jogo is running a story saying that Milan is after Deco and that they can have him for 1/3 of his exit clause - 25 million.

hes perfect for us and the right age 29

Posted by: Portikins Jul 26 2007, 01:01 PM

He can play in Seedorf's place or in Kaka's. He's really a top-class midfielder, but a wonderful diver too.

25M/euros seems too much for me.


We could sub Seedorf or put Kaka' playing upfront with the foward.

What about Gourcuff?! If we sign Deco, there'll be no chance for Gourcuff to prove something...

Posted by: Rossoneri7 Jul 26 2007, 02:22 PM

Deco is another smoke screen IMO ..

Posted by: fresh_prince7 Jul 26 2007, 03:58 PM

Its not that pippo doesn't dive or even other players..

Unless he does it excessively, I didn't even know he was prone to dive.

I doubt he'd want to be a playing off the pine.

How the f*ck are inter going to manage their team, whats there list look like. Nearly can make two quality starting teams.

It looks frighteningly good to me. I'm certain more will come, too.

Would rather Riquelme but Deco wouldn't be the worst signing in the world

Posted by: jbryant1 Jul 27 2007, 02:21 AM

This is really another one of those BS stories if you ask me. Deco is not leaving. I wish Milan would get this over with and just buy someone and get on. This Mister X garbage.


We should get him sure. He has offensive strength and would work well creating opportunities for Kaka and Ronaldo. We have nothing to lose by getting him. He also has marketing appeal for the investors.
