Leave Huntelaar alone!!!

He is a good player and he REALLY WANTS TO STAY!!!

He is an excellent player with excellent working ethic ... he is good to have in Milan.

If we need somebody is Krasic ... he will really change this team .... guaranteed

[mishie]

We should have got Diarra before he ruined his career by going to madrid. And there is no transfer strategy at Milan, we search the bargain basement for players.

I'm a little more optomistic than that, surely a new coach wouldn't agree to join on the promise of Serie B players etc.
but everyone is entilted to there view i'm just a little more hopefull than 99% of this forum it seems (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

[X-Offender]

Krasic is 99% a Juventus player, so you should look for elsewhere.

[Dracoris]

Reading through the news of today and just the fact that we are linked with players like Blasi and Brocchi just makes me angry. Someone in that club needs to step up and say enough is enough. Juventus is relegated to Serie B comes back to Serie A, flunks out of the CL, and then signs Krasic. Who do we have on our list? Dzeko...nah. Krasic? Nah, lost him to Juve. Hernanes? Nah. Blasi? Hell yea, he'd only cost like 2m! Lets do it!

EDIT:

Even better! We're going to reinforce ourselves with the purchase of Mancini. Such quality we are.

[CHU-LIP]

Krasic 13 mio, P.Léon 10 mio...... instead we take Mancini *flushing toilet* mio.... ?

[Jack Sparrow]

Chill people.

I'll tell you what's funny. Is that we 'believe' all the non-flattering rumours about Milan (we're going for average player X) etc. while when it comes to top players we're linked with, we take the 'our management will never buy that one' - route.

On the other hand it's vice-versa for other rival clubs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Not pointing fingers, our management is to blame somewhat...but..

GOD!! WHAT A BUNCH OF MASOCHISTS WE ARE!!

[kurtsimonw]

Probably because actions speak louder than words. Our rival clubs do go out and get the big names, so it's more believable when they're linked with them. We don't.

[Jack Sparrow]

So far no one has got anything. Yet we chose to believe they will. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I wasn't saying we're wrong, just an observation on our mental state.

[Dracoris]

Our hated rival has won the scudetto 5 years in a row now, capping it off with a treble. My sane mental state is long gone.

So we did something worthy :


Milan inquire about Ganso Tuesday 8 June, 2010

Milan have made inquiries about Santos' highly-rated attacking midfielder Ganso, according to the player's agent Sabatino Durante.

The 20-year-old was recently named Brazil's Young Player of the Year and has been likened to former Milan idol Ricky Kaka.

Speaking to Calciomercato.com, Durante said: “There is concrete interest in the player and Milan have seen him many times. But I believe that Milan must first look at their budget. The Milan of three or four years ago would have probably signed Ganso in two minutes.

“Ganso's valuation is reasonable. The President of Santos is asking for €25m. This is the demand. Ganso likes Milan a lot.

“For a Brazilian speaking about Milan is like speaking about home because of the many Brazilians who have been at Milan. But this does not mean he can't move to other teams.

“I heard from Adriano Galliani 10 days ago but for other situations. It's a deal that has yet to be put on the table.”

Paulo Henrique Ganso: Simply the Best Midfileder In the World
by Sammy Bal Contributor


He hails from the Amazon rainforests of northern Brazil. He plies his trade in the bustling metropolis of São Paulo. If you still haven't heard of him then take note of his name—this kid is raising eyebrows in Brazil and throughout the world.

Paulo Henrique Chagas de Lima or just Ganso (goose), as he is popularly known, has amassed a huge celebrity fan base in Brazil. Everybody who is somebody in the football world agrees that he must be on Dunga's May 11 Seleção list.

All the big names from Zico and Romario to Rivellino and Pele agree that the lad has that special touch, putting him in a whole other category.

His ability to slow a game down to his pace and literally hide the ball reminds us of the master Riquelme, but he's tall and strong as well so perhaps he's more like a Zidane. His dribbling skills and precision passes, though, perhaps make him a new Kaka.

The truth is that he is simply none of the above or indeed all of the above.

He is Ganso.

At the beginning of the season the call was for him to be on Brazil's 23 man squad as an eventual substitute for Kaka should anything go wrong with the Real Madrid playmaker.

However, with the passing of each spectacular performance some, like 1970 world champion Tostão, have called for Ganso to be part of any starting 11 for Brazil in South Africa, either playing alongside Kaka or indeed replacing the European based idol.

Sócrates, who himself was part of the 1982 Brazilian squad often hailed as the greatest football team ever, has taken his admiration even a step further.

In the opinion of this football idol, "Ganso is the greatest revelation Brazil has produced in the last decade, if Santos can hold on to Ganso they will have a monster team until he stops playing. They can sell the whole team, but keep him cause he makes the team play."

It is not just his fantastic football skills which led to Socrates' shocking statements, but also the personality and creativity Ganso has shown in key matches.

More specifically was Ganso's unorthodox play during the State Championship final versus Santo Andre where Santos lost 2-3, with eight players left on the field because of too many bookings, but won the title.

"What he did out there on Sunday represents the personality of the lad. He's the one who won the Championship.

"The second half was worth the title and he played alone, because he didn't have anyone else to play with. He invented stuff out there with extreme creativity and put a halt to a huge coaching error. He ran the clock down and almost scored from the middle of the pitch. That was about all that was missing", said Sócrates.

Indeed a goal from the middle of the pitch would have crowned Ganso's stellar performance in the Paulista Championship. He did everything in the second half of that match.

One particularly peculiar novelty was a corner awarded to Santos with minutes left on the clock.

Santos were down to eight men so Ganso simply touched the ball a few inches into play and stood there as time seemed to stand still before the Santo Andre players, the referee, the fans, and even the television commentators realized that the ball was actually in play.

He has the nerves of steel under pressure, the kind of maturity demanded to wear the five star Brazilian uniform, and the kind of maturity needed to win a world cup.
