I would take Ade, but not for his redic. price tag, I mean u cant be that bad if ur scoring 30 goals or something in a top league. I just dont get it how they let Henry go for like 17E, and they want 30E for Ade, who isnt even half as good as Henry

Im not saying that Ade is a bad player..Its just that we do not play like Arsenal. There they have Fabregas, Hleb, Rosickski and others who fed him with many-many chances. He manages to score 30 but wasted another 30 perhaps? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

We n on the other hand have to rely on Pirlo and Kaka for services. and we need to add more creative players, Ronaldinho is one of them...

Hehe, with that bing said, i "would?" welcome Ade if the price is right...15 mill perhaps? 30mill is to much for a one season wonder.

Ronaldinho Still Too Expensive - Berlusconi

Silvio Berlusoconi is hoping that talks this month will see Barcelona reduce their asking price for Ronaldinho to allow him to make his dream move to AC Milan.

The Italian club's supremo is still keen to land the Brazilian, but has admitted that allied with their quest for Emmanuel Adebayor, he is too expensive.

Barcelona have not done themselves many favours by openly admitting that the player is not part of their plans while maintaining that his market value is over €20m.

"Barça are still asking too much for Ronaldinho. It is more than we can pay. We not in a position to spend €20m on him," Berlusconi told O Globo.

Manchester City have met Barça's asking price, but the Brazilian does not want to move to Eastlands and has set his heart on playing for the Rossoneri.

New Blaugrana coach Pep Guardiola has hinted that should Ronaldinho show signs of real improvement then he could well stay, but a fresh start may be one step too far.

Milan intermediary, Ernesto Bronzetti, has been jetting backwards and forwards to talk with the Catalan giants, but their eye has been taken off the ball by the boardroom chaos.

While Ronaldinho is hoping to make the move to the San Siro, when he does return he will have to persuade Barça to lower their demands or face an uncomfortable start to the campaign at Camp Nou.

Ok, so let me get this straight, we can afford €30m + Yoann for the average Adebayo. But not €20m for R10, who we know that Milan can get back into top shape for the new season and unlike Adebayor is world class (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

My take:

- The Ade story has been exaggerated
- We'll sign Ronaldinho at some point (we hold most of the cards at this point)
- Don't listen to anything Galliani, and to an extent, Berlusconi say during the transfer window (judging by previous summers)

I do think that Milan's interest in Adebayor has been exxagerated to an extent but I don't think that it's the same story regarding his price tag. We all know that if Wenger would really sell him then he will sell him for as big a sum as he is able to put out.

Please just don't sign Ade! I'm desperate here!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) I'd rather we get no one than see that overrated, overpriced and arrogant guy in a Milan shirt!
I'll even put R20 in my sig if getting him means Ade won't come!

[armiss]

OMG Gazzetta said that there is a meeting today between Galliani and Wenger in france following the the 3rd fax from Arsenal

also Galliani said that there is only one chenko and that is Shevchenko if Chelsea let him go , so Pavlychenko out











i am not happy i want Ronaldinho

RONALDINHO - the price falls

While still at the center of controversy for the Olympic Games in Beijing with Barcelona (the final decision will come July 22), the price of Ronaldinho seems to be officially dropped: the fact Barça would treat the sale of Brazilian with Milan and no longer shooting at the basis of 30-35 million, but about 10 less. Il Milan, in questo momento impegnato nell'ultimo tentativo disperato per Adebayor, ci pensa e vorrebbe chiudere l'accordo per una cifra intorno ai 18 milioni di euro, forte della piena volontà del giocatore che ha in mente ormai solo il Rossonero. AC Milan, at this moment engaged in a desperate attempt to Adebayor, we think and would close the agreement for a figure around 18 million euros, strong full will of the player who has in mind now only Rossonero.

Is milannews.it reliable?

[Tennie]

it's the milan-only section of tuttomercatoweb. stuff on milannews.it is as reliable as the source they got it from (so reliability can vary). so the article basically says that Ronaldinho's price has dropped and that the final decision regarding Ronaldinho's participation in the Olympics will be somewhere around July 22. The article also mentions Adebayor, and I'm not sure if the 18 m bid mentioned is for him or for Ronaldinho.

[Zed.D]

Aha. thanks for that. 18 million for Adebayor? now that would be pretty good for us!

[han2503]

Aha. thanks for that. 18 million for Adebayor? now that would be pretty good for us!

Yeah right, like Wenger will ever except 18m for Adebayor (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Which in retrospect is good for us

Because... ?

[Zed.D]

Because... ?

Because I think Adebayor for 18 million euros is reasonable! just my opinion though. I know you're not his biggest fan. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The fish doll is very sad: it looks like he's going to have to take the yarn and knitting needles away from Trini. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Tuttomercatoweb is reporting that Gazzetta is saying (must be print edition; it's not in the online edition) the following:

Accetta un contratto biennale: Galliani pronto a chiudere col Barça. Adebayor è troppo costoso, l'accordo con il brasiliano è per 6.5 milioni a stagione. Potrebbe tornare anche Sheva con la formula del prestito. L'incognita è Borriello.

[Ronaldinho has accepted a two year contract: Galliani is ready to close the deal with Barca. Adebayor is too expensive; the agreement with the Brazilian is for 6.5 million a season. Shevchenko could also return on loan. Borriello is an unknown.]

There's no confirmation anywhere else yet.
