Today Barcelona confirmed the transfer. 9M/euros +2M if we qualify for the CL in the next 4 years. As I and every milanista expect that... the deal is for 11M/euros. |

I think that's a bit too-high... especially since we were supposedly expecting to get both him and Ronaldinho for 30m...

But more than one year of negotiating and we end up paying more than we should (personal estimation) for a guy that had two average seasons, was not so valued or vital for his team and is already 31... Anyway... we got him. I'm sure he'll give us two (or maybe 3) very good seasons as a starter! |

Well you just said it right there, we try to haggle and we end up waisting time since we still get the short end of the stick in the long run and end up paying what the club asked of us. Our management needs to learn that we are not in the 80s anymore (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

this could well be the jewel in our transfer campaign. a strong fast player who can go up and down either wing. the versatility should really give us a boost

Zambrotta gave an interview today on his first day at Milanello (from acmilan.com - their translation)
MILANELLO - Here are the declarations made by Gianluca Zambrotta, who arrived at the Milanello training ground today: "I'm happy to be here to start this great adventure with the Milan shirt. I return to Italy after having played two years abroad, at Barcelona, and I hope to do well and win as much as possible with the Milan shirt." Ronaldinho is a team mate you already know... "Yes, his arrival has brought an incredible wave of enthusiasm both to the fans and the whole environment. This is a good omen to start a great adventure." Do you think Milan's squad this year is Scudetto-worthy and that the gap with other teams can be compensated? "Personally I think we all start on the same level. Milan haven't won the Scudetto for a while and so that will be our main objective this year." Gianluca Zambrotta will play on the left or the right? "The coach will decide where I will play, but for now it's early to talk about it." |

I'm not sure where I'd have him play. You could say on the right since Oddo was bad last season.. but then that'd be harsh on Oddo, as Zambrotta wasn't exactly better than him last season. I think it's very nice to have competition in these places. Hopefully would don't go Rafa-crazy and start rotating everyone..

QUOTE The red and black kingdom is in raptures over Ronaldinho. And avuncular Coach Carletto Ancelotti has praised midfield dynamo Mathieu Flamini. But little fanfare has greeted the arrival of another star. Where is the excitement surrounding Gianluca Zambrotta’s signing? Clearly, his Barcelona misadventure has damaged his reputation. Was World Cup 2006 that long ago? Fabio Cannavaro won the plaudits in Germany. But for my money, the bandy-legged fella from Como was Italy’s star. Zambro’s performance in the quarter-final against the Ukraine was the best by any full-back in any World Cup game. He executed all three fundamental aspects of football. He stopped a goal, blocking the ball on the line. He made a goal, penetrating the Ukraine penalty box to cross for Luca Toni. And he scored a goal, rasping in the brilliant opener. He impressed in the semi and Final too. But since that competition, something has happened to the man with a marathon runner’s lungs and lovingly-maintained facial hair. It’s as if the Zambro that went to Catalonia was a clone. He looked and sounded like Italy’s all-conquering No 19, but the zip went out of his game. The right flank was no longer his private sprinting track. There was industry, but little cutting edge. Perhaps, like Cannavaro, he couldn’t adjust to La Liga’s attack-orientated style. It can’t have helped that the man in front of him, mercurial wisp Lionel Messi, was spared of defensive duties. Zambro had to reduce his raids. Zambrotta’s ghastly errors against Manchester United in the Champions League, and Romania at Euro 2008, were out of character. They confirmed his rustiness. But he’s not an old man. If any club can coax more golden seasons out of the 31-year-old, it’s the Rossoneri. Milan’s defence has trophy-winning potential. Alessandro Nesta suffers fewer niggles since he quit the Azzurri. Fixture management and cod liver oil willing, Paolo Maldini can partner Nesta. Marek Jankulovski isn’t at their level, but he is a decent left-back. Add a re-invigorated Zambrotta at right-back, then put the indefatigable Flamini in front of them. The Scudetto and UEFA Cup may be San Siro-bound. It’s about time we saw Zambro on a winners’ podium again Forza Zamborghini! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif) |

Zambrotta is still one of the best. Spanish football is a whole different ball game than Serie A. But Zambrotta, as Capello said, needs no introductions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
