Galliani stated after his medical on monday he will sign a contract - to me that means he is signing and not loaning.

Also all the details are being kept private, I wonder why? I reckon Berlusconi has paid exactly what chelsea wanted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

No. Sheva is not worth anymore than 10 million euros in his present state to Chelsea and I don't think we paid any more than that for him.

So Milan 1 Chelsea 0. We got Chelsea to pay 45 million euros for the guy.

I personally think we got him on the cheap because of Robinhos impending arrival to Chelsea.

Maybe that was a bit rash on my part. 4-3-1-2 will only work if we rotate Kaka and Ronaldinho. That formation will never see both of them on the field. And 4-3-2-1 will only see either Shevchenko or Pato on the field. Not them at the same time.

What about 4-2-3-1?

kaka-r80-pato behind the stiker u mean ? i think we will should play some type 0f 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 back four than pirlo-flamini after that r80-kaka and after that the stiker now we will have proper 4 stiker so yea 2 stiker should be used

Oh I see the difference here... I consider Kaka and R80 attacking midfielders and Pato as a striker. I think Pato would be better to play alongside another striker, rather than being alone up front... I'm tired of the 4-3-2-1 formation honestly...

4-2-3-1 may neglect some of our other midfielders. My oh my, we have a huge set of midfielders.... lots of depth... but it could cause issues. Either way, best to have an expansive set of players, rather than fewer players. I want Brocchi sold though.

may be converting ambro to CB now get more serious bcoz emerson,rino,pirlo,ambro,cardaccio,brocchi,flamini if we play 2 AMs and 2 stikers only 2 of the players will play and we will have seedorf on bench as well

[gal_kenny]

wiiii, great news (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) i sure he won't have to many trouble to star once again !!! what a team this is gonna be, we'll have a good bench after a long long time

That's what i'm saying..Competitive in every part of the team...Chelsea and Barca possess that too..Just like chelsea's bench..At least i'm proud to bring out a very very competitive 2nd team...

Um I think there will be more rotation... and I think that Brocchi and Emerson will for the most part be left out. I think that Flamini/Ambro and Cardacio/Pirlo will be played more often...

hmm looks rite but u know rino is also there let see one thing is certain we do have depth whihc we lacked in the last 2 years or so

Yeah but I think Rino may be rested more often... there are many possibilities for the midfield and that pleases me. Our set of strikers is looking more polished now too...

It's actually a little unnerving to me. I can't automatically name Milan's starting XI for any given game. We've actually got options. Would like one more in defense (or for Darmian to get a LOT more playing time than I'm guessing he's currently likely to get) just to be safe.

[Adriano Galliani was interviewed on Milan channel about Sheva: 'After a series of frenetic telephone calls yesterday, we've reached agreement with Chelsea. Andriy returns in rossonero, and will be in MIlan tomorrow. Monday he'll undergo his medical after which he'll sign the contract and as of Tuesday he'll be at Carlo Ancelotti's disposition. We've been able to bring home the player who in the last 50 years has scored the most goals in our jersey. President Berlusconi and I are happy as is our coach and I believe our fans will be too. I tihkn taht Milan is the only club in the world to have 3 Golden Ball winners in its squad. Yes, Andriy's returning home and I'm happy about it. I'm a fan of MIlan and am very content. I've called him 48 times in the last 3 hours. The contents of the agreement are confidential. From tomorrow night Andriy will be in Milan and will recommence his life as a player of Milan. Andriy made a mistake leaving and I think that in the two years apart, he understood that this is his home. Now he's made economic sacrifices but the only thing that counts is that he's returned to us.]

From the above, the bolded text above can lead us to believe that he was infact bought (and not loaned to us).

I'm more interested in why the details of the deal are confidential and what are they hiding?

I will never feel the same way I did about Sheva, to me he is just a tool to help us win trophies.

I think Chelsea were embarrassed because they may have sold him for far less than what they paid for. Perhaps 1/3rd the price of what they sold him for. They will, nonetheless, get Robinho in the end...

[MizNelson]

will he be given the 7 shirt back .....

No. In fact, he deserves a scarlet letter instead of a number on his jersey.

I swear, gotta love management. "Hey, Sheva, never mind that you lied like a dog to get out of here the first time. Welcome home!"

Our players finally will have enough time to breathe and be less injured

no he has 17. to give him 7 would be a huge insult and would destroy the whole philosphy of our club. He left and their is no way he will be getting his old # back.
