Milan’s Brazilian hitman Ronaldo is back to fitness after his long spell on the sidelines, according to Vice President Adriano Galliani.
El Fenomeno’s injury was one of the summer’s main talking points as he opted to seek treatment in Brazil due to frustration at a misdiagnosis from the Rossoneri medical staff. Having initially been expected to return for the start of the season, the ex-Real Madrid man is finally set to feature against Empoli after the international break. “The doctors have given me good news about Ronaldo,†Galliani enthused. “They have told me that he is getting back to full strength like Paolo Maldini, Serginho, Digao and Kakha Kaladze. “It has been a tough time with so many players on the treatment table, but they will be back shortly.†After a testing time, there have been suggestions that the European champions may be active in the January transfer window, but Galliani stringently denies such talk. “The market is closed and we have made our January transfer in Alexandre Pato,†he insisted. “I keep telling everyone that he will do amazing things, but I don’t want to put too much pressure on an 18-year-old.†After Nelson Dida’s recent high-profile humiliation at Celtic there had been whispers that the Diavolo would search for a new shot-stopper, but Galliani is happy with the men they already own. “We won’t be signing a goalkeeper as we have so many already,†he laughed. “In addition to Dida, Zeljko Kalac and Valerio Fiori we have Marco Storari on loan to Levante, Fernando Coppola at Atalanta and Christian Abbiati with Atletico Madrid.†Channel4 |

I wonder what's the point in keeping him when he's always injured (and 36 years old)?... In fact, Marek arrived in 2005 and he was behind Sergio for most of the season. Only afther Serginho got injuried Jankulovski started to play more often. Serginho was once one of the fastest wing players/LB's. Even in 2006 he still was very fast and caused trouble on the left for any opponent. I'm not sure if that is till the chase, but why should we not give him a chance if we play Cafu or Brocchi? And one other thing,...why do we allways have this people suggesting to release Ba, Sergio or someone like that? For me, it does not make any senese. We signed Ibrahim Ba not cause we expected him to be our next leader or to turn back time and remember the great performances he made for Milan years ago (ooops..there were not so many,.. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ), no, we signed him cause he was our player for years, he is in good relations to our board and most of our players. Once more Milan made a real gracefull move. Why should we now release him? Why are we annoyed by those players so much? There is no logic, if we signed him now, why should we sell/release him? Do you think that would change Galliani's mind and force him to make more transfer deals? Ohhhh, that's just as realistic as signing Torres from Liverpool.

Can anyone confirm this in any way: Have we really signed Ba? I want something that proves it... I still have not read anything about him on the official site or seen any picture of him!
Of course signing Ba was just doing him a favor. And I like that... what I don't like is seeing Cafu and Serginho do nothing at all (for which I don't care...) and get paid as much as De Rossi or other players... those guys have a big salary! I don't get it... since our policy is not to force anyone that doesn't want to to leave, why don't we cut their salaries? It's ridiculous for Cafu to earn big when he's only going to play 400 minutes maximum all season long! |

If you go to the Lega Calcio site, there's a list of players each team has signed (or at least there was during the transfer window. I haven't looked since then and am not sure it's still up). Ba's name is there as having been signed by Milan.

Cafu is the leader of the brazilian community. He's one of the reasons Pato decided to play for us,...that's why he is "indispensible"
But anyway, you're right,.. |

But I never said I want to see him out... just his teethless smile is enough! And his eyes... he looks like he's constantly playing in a World Cup final! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
