Wow, the rumors are flying thick and fast today.

The new one is the possibility of a swap between Milan and Roma. Gila to Roma in exchange for Aquilani.

[paloschi43]

we linked with Daniel Alves today as he is the crack for our defence(Corriere)

Ruud Gullit,in today's Gazzetta interview he said Milan is old and needs to chance.

Also added,our elimination from CL didnt surprise him as we never played good football this season.

i also think like Gullit,Kaka,Nesta,Oddo,Gattuso,Seedorf all performed below of their standarts,all of them did nothing this year,Only Pirlo performed up to his standarts lately he joined them as well.

The problem for us has been left side back,as Marek is a player who plays in 40-45 metres and doesnt provides enough service from left wing,Oddo comes and goes in all around 90 metres but his crosses are bad,adding his poor self too,our wings are dead.We have just Kaka,Pirlo and Seedorf,considering Kaka is a player who is less decisive when he doesnt find enough space,Also some coachs like Wenger puts pressure on Pirlo and Puts a marker to Kaka,as we only have Seedorf who doesnt have continuity on the game.if we sign just Zambrotta and a target man like Gomez or Amauri or even Drogba we are dead.above all,i believe a striker like Benzema would appeal to us the most as he can create his chances alone.

i want to say 1-2 addition is not enough for us,what happens to us if Nesta,Gattuso,Kaka and Oddo repats this season's perfonmances next year too.

Reports: Drogba admits Inter move Thursday 27 March, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are reports in Italy that Chelsea star Didier Drogba has told teammates that he will be joining Inter in the summer.

The Ivorian marksman has made it clear that he wants to leave Stamford Bridge this summer and is looking for another major European club.

Drogba has been increasingly unsettled at Chelsea since the departure of manager Jose Mourinho last year and both Milan sides have reportedly been lining up bids.

Now it seems that the Italian champions are in pole position for the 30-year-old’s signature after the Corriere dello Sport reported that he had told his Chelsea colleagues that he would be wearing the Nerazzurri jersey next term.

The fee required for such a high-profile transfer is estimated to be around £18m, but it is understood that there have been no talks between the two sides as yet.

There are also rumours that Drogba has been lured by the prospect of Mourinho replacing Roberto Mancini at the helm.

Mancio’s position has been jeopardised by his attempt to resign after Inter’s elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Liverpool.

Rafa Benitez and Cesare Prandelli have also been touted as possible successors to Mancini in the Beneamata hot seat.

I hope we can get either De Rossi or Aquilani from Roma. I don't care if it costs Gila+Borriello+a few millions. we need more creative midfielders.

[Portman]

Dani Alves is not coming. No way we're spending big for a (another) full-back and specially after Zambrotta deal is almost confirmed.

A shame because I do like that player a lot. He's probably going Chelsea, Man Utd or Barcelona.

Aquilani-Gilardino would be amazing but dunno if Roma would accept.

Plus, none of Aquilani or Alves would come if we don't get the 4th place.

Exactly.

and specially after Zambrotta deal is almost confirmed.

Can someone explain to me why everyone says Zambro is 99% or 90% or almost for sure a Milan player? Did he make a picture with our jersey (for AS)? Or made some statements...?

Aquilani-Gilardino would be amazing but dunno if Roma would accept.

Plus, none of Aquilani or Alves would come if we don't get the 4th place.

Excellent deal. No need to add Borriello, just the extra cash. Keep in mind that Roma actually do need a new striker, after all the only decent one they have is Vucinic. And I think Spalletti is enough wise to realize that Gilardino could actually work in his system and tactic.

Roma need a forward. It makes sense. But it maybe it's only an unfounded rumor than makes sense...

For a change, at least,..

Hrm. This may be the source of the rumor - or something adding more fuel to it.

Gilardino's agent was interviewed on 'Radio Kiss Kiss' (I know, silly name. But they do a lot of football coverage). He stated that while Gilardino has a contract with Milan now and wants to do everything to help Milan win, etc etc etc, any player would be honored to play with Roma's Francesco Totti.

I'd be thrilled with a Totti-Aquilani swap.

I like alvez , Alves please cut your prices , we want you badly

Aquilani stated some months ago he'd be honored to play for such a team like Inter. Then his dream must be wear the red and black shirt. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This is one of the italian players I'd love to have in the team. He'll be 24 in July.

Er. Sorry! Gila-Aquilani swap. My bad. I blame the medicine (never get sick on holiday; it makes the flight home pure misery) for my sinus infection/bronchitis.

I get the feeling that Aquilani wants more money than Roma is able to pay him -- and with the rumors of Roma's serious financial trouble -- they may just decide to cash in. After the mess with Chivu, I suspect they'd be more inclined to do business with Milan than with the Merda.

Aquilani would be a very good add if it happens.

EDIT: I'm getting scared again.

I think Aquilani for Gila would be a great swap, and would work out positivly for everyone. Milan need a quality sub for Pirlo, Roma need a CF, Gila needs more playing time and to start regularly to be effectice and to get called up for the Azzurri and Aquilani needs a mentor like Pirlo to futher develop as a player to be the backbone of a team and carry on Pirlos legacy for Milan and Italy. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As for Roma not being able to pay his wages, i know they are in debt but i doubt that they would take Gila if that was the case...surely Gila makes more...i think its more of a matter of sacrifise.

[paloschi43]

indeed,Aquilani is what our midfields needs,he can play 2 parts of the game,have continuity,quick,skilled,can defend,can shoot from distance,he can be vice Pirlo when needed.

Gattuso/Flamini Pirlo Aquilani

Berlusca rates him high as well,in Roma's formation mostly Spaletti rotates him and Pizzaro of LDM(LCM),it would be wiser for them selling Aquilani for a striker,as they already have Pizzaro,Brighi for that position,instead with Gila or Borriello or both,they would dont need to play Totti as striker.

if i were Sensi,i would swap him with Gila plus cash,with cash i would sign Cigarini and everyone is happy.
