He's a striker, whoarethepatriots. And according to the primavera stats on acmilan.com, he's scored 7 so far for the primavera.

If theres one thing Leonardo can do, its scout. He must be pretty solid.

[Bluesummers]

Not only Leo but we have to give our youth coach some credit. Giovanni Stroppa is f***** quality, just quality.

So i'm guessing if we thrash Juve then the market is closed forsure with no doubts. Good to see Hottor being signed as he is going to be a world class player in the future.

I've heard rumors about Milan setting their sights on Fernando Torres for the upcoming summer transfers. I am guessing this could be the option if we fail to sign Dzeko. I personally would love to see Torres in a Milan jersey more then Dzeko, but it's just me idk. And since Liverpool are in bad shape right now, falling to qualify for the CL next year would make Torres and Gerrard more willing to leave with the latest joining Inter, City or Madrid. I would welcome Torres without even thinking twice, but maybe I am just dreaming (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleepysmiley03.gif)

Well Jimbo, I'm sure you're not alone in your appreciation for Torres. He'd be welcomed with open arms by me. If Liverpool fail to reach 4th spot, then... maybe? Who knows. This rumour goes back a long time, so Milan's interest may be genuine.

[whoarethepatriot...]

About this second Ghanaian we may be buying (Hottor i think he is called) i would suspect he is being brought in to settle Adiyiah. Would such a comment be unfounded?

[m1ke]

From what I've read, both players have lots of potential. Hottor was hot (urgh! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) property, with the likes of Barca rumoured to be interested.

[whoarethepatriot...]

I guess i shouldnt be complaining. Investing in youth is always good

News:

- siena and Reggina have offered to loan Di Gennaro until end of season. We have not given an answer yet.

- Wolfsburg officials met with Galliani this week at Milan to talk about potential Dzeko sale. Discussed Price is rumored to be around the 30 Million euro mark.

- Gago has declined a transfer offer for June to Milan. He is going back to Argentina.

- Brazillian CB david Luiz is linked with us.

- Benfica is interested in buying ronaldinho.

- After the meeting with Huntelaar's agent; Milan and the agent have both agreed for Hunt to stay. He was promised more playing time and thats the main reason for agreement. This means inzaghi will probably recieve nothing in the upcoming months.

- Rafinha is now priced at 14 M euros.

- De assis (Ronnie's agent) will be coming to milan in the next few days to discuss a renewal for dinho. We'll be offering him an extention until 2013 with probably a lower wage.

- fillipo Galli (youth director) announced today that milan will be moving at least 6 primavera players to the first team in 2011. They will be used on a consistent basis and not brought up just to chill, which explains why we've been signing youth like crazy. I'm geussing our summer market will consist of mostly youth signings.

- Hottor is done, will be transferred Monday.

Thanks blue. Nice to know about the youth movement. Surprised about Gago.

Anytime cap'n, i'm really happy too that players like Verdi, albertazzi, zigoni, baretta will be given a shot.

I'm guessing he's had a bad exp in europe and wants to go back. But will he get his desire? Its hard to tell if a south american club can afford him.

Three minor corrections to translations of the above stories:

* The Gago thing is all hypothetical, with Marca saying he might be loaned to Boca for 6 months.
* The Galli story is saying that Milan's goal is to move the primavera players up, not that they for sure will be. Minor difference there.
* It's Siena and Padova who've made offers for Di Gennaro, who last year played for Reggina.
* There's also a story suggesting that Huntelaar will be used as a counterweight in the Dzeko deal.

wow!


My appologies! I guess thats what happens when you haven't slept in 48 hours.

Now they're running a story quoting Wolfburg director Dieter Hoeness as saying there's no truth in the stories about a dinner meeting with Milan to discuss Dzeko.

[Bluesummers]

Well either way he's coming here, whether they meet now or after the WC is irrelevant. They can't fight the player's desire to move.
