Milan Offer $8 Million For The Services Of Riquelme
According to reports from the Argentine press European champions AC Milan have offered Villarreal $8 million for the services of gifted Argentine playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme. (IMG:http://goal.com/images/11824.jpg) Riquelme, who played a key role, as Argentina won their opening two 2010 World Cup qualifiers, has not made a single appearance for Villarreal in Spain’s La Liga this season, after a conflict with the club's Chilean manager Manuel Pellegrini. The Argentine international is desperately looking for a new club, and is likely to have his wish come true when the transfer window re-opens. He has recently been chased by the likes of Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, Manchester City, and former club Boca Juniors, but according to the journal there’s a good possibility that he will join AC Milan. Milan, who are rumoured to have offered Villarreal $8 million for the midfielder, have not been in top form this season, and have been looking for a player with his rare qualities. Despite not having played any club football this season, Riquelme was still called up to the Argentine national team squad by team manager Alfio Basile for the World Cup qualifiers. Riquelme once again proved his undisputed class, scoring two outstanding free-kicks as Argentina defeated Chile 2-0 in Buenos Aires on Saturday. The midfielder then set-up Argentina’s first goal as they beat Venezuela by the same score-line in Maracaibo on Tuesday. |

Perfect substitue for Kaka and would probably play better in the xmas tree next to Kaka then Seedorf, since he is a PURE playmaker, and we only have Pirlo who is like that
Riquelme is pure class and quality, sure he's old and never really shined for a top club but it's worth a try This post has been edited by han2503: Oct 19 2007, 12:45 PM |

Riquelme is a player that needs a team to play around him !! Milan isn't that team. Non of our players have the team playing around them; even Kaka' (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) . Although I rate him very highly, this is why I don't think his transfer would materialize.
Secondly, would everyone stop moaning about Gourcuff. He will be fine (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) , it is on several threads now and the club are the experts in these situations.

I wonder if we even need him... I know having enough depth is fundamental, but let's start with defense and attack not midfield, dammit!

If there's a single thing Milan doesn't need at the moment, its midfielders.
More depth in attack, another CB and a new keeper is top priority, at least in my eyes. |

Has this offer been confirmed in any way, or is it just another site randomly linking us with a player?

Wasn't the last non EU spot taken by Pato?
And for the record we do need him, Brocchi and emerson can't turn around a bad game but Riquelme can. |
