QUOTE Milan, Berlusconi: "Ronaldinho impossibile. Eto'o? Chissà " 25.06.2007 14.52 di Christian Seu articolo letto 784 volte Il presidente del Milan, Silvio Berlusconi, ha commentato le voci sul mercato rossonero: "Il presidente del Barcellona mi ha detto che se vendesse Ronaldinho sarebbe contretto a espatriare - ha scherzato -. Speriamo di riuscire a trovare qualcuno all'altezza del Milan intanto ci aspettiamo tantissimo da Ronaldo. Se poi riuscissimo a trovare un giocatore forte che non è incedibile... Eto'o? Non mettiamo limiti alla provvidenza...". http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/index.php?a...n=read&id=64379Basically Berlusconi says Ronaldinho is impossible as Laporta won't sell him. He joked about that "Barcelona president told me he would have to leave the country if he sells Ronaldinho." About Eto'o... who knows. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) He doesn't say "it's impossible". ****************************************************************** But Eto'o said yesterday the Milan-chapter was over with him. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Well, I don't know. He's italian. And a politician. It wouldn't be the first time he says "banana" and the other day "mango" about the same subject.

If there are any big names to be sign I assume it'll be Sheva, while I would prefer Villa. Don't see any problems with his physical conditon (just look at Pippo...he's not a strong guy either). He's young, proved that his worth in the CL and is IMO not worse than Eto'o.

The other big teams in Italy (well, Juve and the Merda) are signing big players, but they're also significantly in debt (see separate article in news re: Serie A debt). Fester's actually being fiscally responsible by not doing something that'd put the club into financial difficulty. Sure, Don Silvio could inject millions and millions into the club to shore up finances (as the Agnelli family did with Juve recently and as Moratti has done with the Merda), but even that wouldn't cover up a company that's operating at a loss. Also remember another big factor for Milan is wages. It's not a matter of affordability; it's the fact that there's an effective cap on salaries: the 'top stars' all earn the same amount, and that is NOT the case at any of the other big clubs.
So what does this mean for the transfer market? I honestly don't know. I'm holding out hope that Milan will sign /someone/ good. Realistically, though, it's quite possible they may not if the club management decides to not operate at a loss.

@jbryant1....one of the articles mentioned that the Sheva sale was the only reason we earned a profit. 1.6 mill if I'm not wrong.

Perfect. But if we get Gallas, then no Zambrotta for some time. But I don't see Gallas on the bench. And where does Kaladze go?
