AC Milan - Milanfan.com _ Archive 06/07 _ Ancelotti: Suazo is perfect for Milan
Posted by: Portikins Jun 21 2007, 03:55 PM
Carlo Ancelotti was obviously very happy with the purchase of David Suazo from Cagliari as he told the 'Gazzetta dello Sport' that the Hondurian striker was the perfect replacement for Samuel Eto`o' who was the first choice in the Rossoneri's shortlist.
"Suazo is perfect, he's already a champion for Milan," commented Ancelotti about the new arrival.
"I wanted Eto`o', but he's not for sale, even though I wouldn't mind another present. In the midfield we shall valorise Gourcuff."
With regards to the new season, Ancelotti is targeting to win the Champions League and the Intercontinental Cup as he believes that the Nerazzurri are the favourites for the league title.
"Inter remains the favourite for the Scudetto; our objectives are that of climbing on top of the world and winning the Champions League," declared the Rossoneri's coach who will be hoping to repeat the satisfactions of this past season.

Another present? He means... the attack - as he says "in midfield we shall valorise Gourcuff..."?

In the midfield we shall valorise Gourcuff ....
wat does that meen Valorise
Posted by: Portikins Jun 21 2007, 05:56 PM
Ancelotti will give more minutes (matches) to Gourcuff next season.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jun 21 2007, 06:00 PM
valorise= something along the lines of 'make a hero out of'.
I hope everyone is happy. Carletto specifically seems to have turned down a mid-field option to do his valorising on Gourcuff. So much for Carlo being anti-youth.

Hrm. Eto'o? R10? Sheva? Could be any of 'em.
(Please not Sheva.)

(Please not Sheva.)
Could be a cheaper and stupid transfer... likes of Grimi for example.
Posted by: Bluesummers Jun 21 2007, 06:05 PM
This better not be the baldy's only signing. you get 60+ million from CL, 45 million euro from sheva, and you paid so far no more than 35 million. suazo is gonna cost us 10 million pounds or 17 million euro which isn't bad, but i want more! Replacement for oddo would be nice! Also perhaps another DM. juve signed tiago so now we can't get any good young ones. emerson or edmilson, we should at least try and get. Plus edmilson can play beside nesta if need be so its not a bad transfer.
Posted by: Tennie Jun 21 2007, 06:07 PM
Well, if we're going to get a FC Catalonia player who isn't a striker, I'd prefer Zambrotta or Deco (who is now rumored to be on the market). Edmilson? Er. I prefer even Kaladze to him.
Posted by: Portikins Jun 21 2007, 06:12 PM
Deco is probably going Inter. He's a **** so I think he'll fit well there.
Edmilson? Injury-prone.
Posted by: Bluesummers Jun 21 2007, 06:14 PM
not gonna happen. zambrotta wont be sold, since there on a defensive crisis. And deco will most likely go to inter.
Posted by: Bluesummers Jun 21 2007, 06:15 PM
Edmilson? Injury-prone.
yeah but ambro is injuy prone too. so we at least need some back up.
Posted by: Tennie Jun 21 2007, 06:18 PM
Odd that you guys are all saying Merda for Deco (though I agree with Porty's assessment of his personality). I don't much like him though I think he's quite talented when he's not being a ****. The club I thought most likely to realistically go after him was Chelsea, who /need/ a #10.
As for Zambrotta, I'm holding out hopes that the 'unhappy wife' card may sway things in favor of a move, even if it isn't all that realistic.
Posted by: Portikins Jun 21 2007, 06:19 PM
If they sign Abidal... maybe.
Posted by: Bluesummers Jun 21 2007, 06:21 PM
isn't abidal LB? if they sold zambrotta what they gonna do about RB? sylvinho doesn't cut it

ROME - 'There is no dispute with president Moratti and certainly we are not disrespecting anyone,' said Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani as he left a Federation meeting. As for Suazo, he added: 'If Suazo signs then our transfer market is finished. As for Inter, that's of the rules of the transfer market.'
Well, now lets hope Carletto has improved the rotation system and that we dont get any injured players. Another nightmare season coming up
Posted by: zdrossoneri Jun 21 2007, 06:50 PM
What the hell does Galliani mean by saying our transfer market could be closed if Suazo's signing sealed?!!! he's joking, right? are you telling me that Milan, the European champions, are gonna spend just 10 million pound and just one buy in the transfer market?!!! what about Billy and Maldini's replacements, bald headed faggot?!
Posted by: Portikins Jun 21 2007, 06:58 PM
Usual b/s-talk by Galliani.
Posted by: misha Jun 21 2007, 07:08 PM
He's that kinda person who likes to lower the expectations ('we will sigh only one player', 'If Suazo signs then our transfer market is finished' etc...), but after that he signs someone out of the blue. I'm 100% sure we are gonna sign at least 2 more players. It's still very early.
Posted by: maldini03 Jun 21 2007, 07:21 PM
I hope and pray you guys are right i hope we make at least 2 really good transfers, cause i think we need them, I hope Suazo isnt as good as it gets 
Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 21 2007, 08:10 PM
I suppose if Eto'o isn't for sale it can mean 1 of 2 things.
1) R10 is, so we get him.
OR
2) R10 and Eto'o are staying put, meaning I really can't see Henry joining, giving us a shot at him.
Either that or we won't make a big move this year, they keep hinting at it.

I think they're gonna keep both Eto'o and Ronaldinho, and will add Henry to heir squad as well!
I really can't see Ronaldinho joining us. that's really disappointing.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Jun 21 2007, 09:27 PM
I don't see them having R10, Messi, Eto'o and Henry all in the same team, but it is possible.
----------------- Eto'o -----------------
Henry -------------------------- Messi
------------- Ronaldinho --------------
-------- Iniesta ------- Xavi ----------
Of course, that means Deco/Gudjohnsson/Saviola will probably be off. Especially with the signing of Rodrigo Palacio.

----------------- Eto'o -----------------
Henry -------------------------- Messi
------------- Ronaldinho --------------
-------- Iniesta ------- Xavi ----------
4-3-3, Ronaldinho doing "a Deco"? I really doubt.
I simply can't see those 4 together upfront. Their team would be r*ped every single week in counter-attacks, La Liga style.
Posted by: Tennie Jun 21 2007, 10:01 PM
Maybe I just like conspiracy theories, but I'm beginning to think that work hasn't stopped on acquiring whoever the 'big surprise' player is. I really do think that Fester's recent statements regaridng the market have been smokescreen. Still no idea who it is if it's not one of the Barca strikers or Henry, but I guess we'll find out in the next couple of months.

Great minds think alike
Posted by: KillerMax Jun 22 2007, 07:23 AM
Why don't you marry her?
Anyways, I agree with Porty and Misha. That stuff is the usual Galliani bs. I mean come one people he does it every single year...
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jun 22 2007, 12:13 PM
Oh...yeah right...are u accusing the Orlando Bloom of the Middle East of hitting on a gal
I do agree that we are over reacting. We can't possibly expect transfers to happen every day for the next whole month.
If Suzao is all we are getting, I will be disappointed, but not pissed. Maybe they know more about Gourcuff's ability than I do. I honestly believe, we need 3 more players/
1 holding+semi-creative midfielder (u know like Carrick, who's not the best playmaker or the best holding type, but a bit of both). I don't care if he's 32+.
1 fullback who can play on the left. We've loaned Grimi out. Sergio and Janku for the whole of next season??!!!
Someone who can challenge Janku for his position. Janku does lose his concentration while defending sometimes.1 young talented centre back. Some big strong Senderos kinda persona who needs fine-tuning.
Then I think we're good to challenge for all trophies.

One note on the need for a new defender: from what I've read, it sounds like they really may move Matteo Darmian up to the first team. He's the kid who last year was moved from the Beretti to the Primavera. He's all of 17 or 18, but he got a higher rating in Gazzetta for the minutes he played in the Udinese game than just about everyone but Billy. He seems to have a lot of potential. Maybe they're counting on him?
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Jun 22 2007, 12:22 PM
Scratch Centre Back off my list then. I reiterate Tennie is Brilliant. Not a word Maxxy! 
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Jun 22 2007, 03:45 PM
Sorry, not that desperate to marry off the internet But the girl does have a point
Posted by: jbryant1 Jun 22 2007, 08:42 PM
The strange thing about all of this is that Suazo is 28-29 and he's not that great of a striker. He brings speed and some experience in serie A with him but he is not even close to a top player like Ronaldinho, Etoo or Henry.
The positive note is that Suazo definitely is probably better than most of our strikers and at least we are making some step to aid the problem up top. Most of our choices Oliveira, Vieri, Amoroso, and even Gilardino(who has proven himself more than these guys) have been similar kind of players and not really lived up to anything.
Its all politics its really shifting away the focus from Henry or Etoo because they are not coming here and Milan kind of want to cover themselves and say well its impossible for Etoo to come because we are getting Suazo.
The real justification is Etoo, Drogba, Scheva, or Henry don't want to come to Milan or they probably would be interested but like where they are or choose another of the several top clubs to go to so we have to settle for Suazo and to cover ourselves we will play it off like we wanted Suazo all along over these players. Galliani and Silvio are a prideful bunch. Very similar rhetoric to the last summer when we were promised a big signing and nobody came.

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Jun 25 2007, 07:00 PM
I would like to see Gourcuff play more, when he came on vs Bayern he was pretty funny
Dibbled down the flank and deked a player, he generally annoyed them
