Milan duo fight for Rodriguez
Milan and Inter are reportedly interested in Maxi Rodriguez of Atletico Madrid – even if he seems intent of remaining in Spain. The paths of the two Milan sides have often crossed during this summer’s transfer market after the Nerazzurri won the duel to net Hernan Crespo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Rodriguez now seems to be a target for both teams again who would certainly like the Argentine international at their disposal this term. The Atletico Madrid ace, who easily adapts to playing as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, has however expressed his intention to remain at his present club under boss Javier Aguirre. The Spanish club have confirmed contact with both Italian sides, but consider the No 11 as untransferable and may offer Rodriguez, who is currently signed until 2008, an extension. The 25-year-old, who also has an Italian passport, is more than content in Madrid and is optimistic that his side can fight for the Liga title. The South American grew up in the Newell’s Old Boys youth team and moved to Spain in 2002 when Espanol made a successful bid for his services. He netted 15 times during his third campaign in the Liga and then moved to Atletico Madrid in 2005 for £8.5m. Rodriguez made his debut with Argentina in 2003 after winning the Under-20 World Cup in 2001. He was also part of Jose Pekerman’s squad at the 2006 World Cup where he scored three goals before their quarter-final defeat to Germany. |

I don´t think that we need him, that part of the field in Milan is covered, maybe as an option to have a wing, but it´s not a priority right now.
By the way, I´m getting sick of this rumours!! I´m just waiting ´till a oficial statement from Berlu. |

If MILAN will take him who will replace in miedfield?
Unless MILAN will change format and play with 5 miedfielders but then we dont need another striker I know he is a good player but i think he is more a inter player Maybe im wrong But he will have problems to play in the first team in inter squad too so i think thats why he is reticent at Milano calls |

He's def' not Milan-quality. 1 or 2 great goals on a WC doesn't mean anything.

Maxi had the same amount of goals as Torres--3
Torres didn't have that many more goals than Maxi in league last season. 13 to 10. |

He actually had 9 goals last season. But still pretty good. I do think he is a good player, but I don't think he is coming to Milan. It would be pointless... |

Well he is a winger .. And we all read Carlo's statement about C.Ronaldo, 'that he doesnt fit into the way Milan play .. '
If and that is a BIG 'if'; Milan do change there tactical system, then yes he would fit in just fine. |
