Tree days over... and it goes fast on. Did some player particullary good to be signed by Milan. Phillip Lahm showed much talent (not only cause that goal). Also some Ivory Coast players look interesting ! What do you think...(as more the WC stages go on, there will be more players to discuss, so...)

Definitely Mirzapour, the Iranian keepr!!!

the trinidad keeper as our back up keeper would be nice, he was great against sweden. drogba played well against argentina. and so did crespo. wanchope had a nice goal(first goal) where he was onside.

My mistake....

Riquelme!!!!
Damn, what a player. I so want him in Milan.

Yeah...definetely...Riquelme is awesome, but I guess the position in the central attack midfield is already filled by Kaka, there is no need for another world class player.
Drogba was VERY good btw, and Sneijder also performed well. And after what I've seen by Crespo I agree: Get this guy back to Milan, he's still world class!!!

Yaya Toure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can get him with much less than we'd get Diarra and he's equally good IMO...
Sneijder wasn't as good as of late yesterday...

Toure would be a great addition .. I agree, his performance showed he had a lot of potential

You mean the 37 years old Shaka Hislop? Hmm...

Yes, I was very impressed by his skill. And also, you are right, Sneijder wasn´t so good. I´d expected much more of him, but then again he only recently recovered from his Australia injury so he probably was´t 100% fit.

yes, you're right I'm not bashing him it's just that I didn't want people to think he's just what we saw against S&M...Not that he was bad, but he's capable of bigger things!

What about Cole?

Still, two matches to go, and then the second phase (I´m positive that Argentina and Holland will proceed) so plenty time to see Sneijder doing good stuff. I was so irritated seeing van Persie in the first eleven. I mean, he played very good, but still I am a van der Vaart fan. Also, Ruud proved his lack of form and quality. But it wasn´t a first class match all in one. Beasley dissapointed also, still I like him, maybe he would be a good Milan signing? I´m waiting for the Croatia matches to come...so that Srna can prove his skills, among the others also..

Mean Joe Cole? He is good...for England. Only the top english players could play in Italy or Spain, and Joe is not among them..

I think he would make it but there are better players around...

I'm too eager to see Srna!!!He's definetely going to get a good transfer but we still don't know to where!!!

I will disagree on van Persie matter though cause I like him a lot -although he was pretty decent against Serbia, Van Basten ( ) keeps changing his position constantly during matches and he looks like he doesn't know where he plays

Erm Yes Joe Cole is amongst them, just because he isn't as well known as Beckham and Rooney he is up there with them.

However on the point, I can't see Chelsea letting him go.

He just renewed his contract.

Rosicky form Chec Republic.... but he is going to Arsenal.... damn, another good player wasted....

He's great yes but you can't depend on him he is too fragile!!!

And the left side defender from Ivory Coast, Arthur Boka, I think he is pretty quick and young, I think he can be a good replacement for Cafu when he is gone.

He did some mistakes, but nothing that can´t be corrected there in Milanello hehe

Yes, I think both Boka and Zakora would be very useful!

Boka and Zokora. Both good players.

Boka is a very good player he's compared to R.Carlos.He did not show his crossing skill against argentina but he's supposed too have a sensitive left foot.

Yaya Toure was impressive too..I never believed Kolo Toure when he said that Yaya is a better player but he could be.

Mexikos keeper sanchez did some crazy saves against Iran.

yea he is a very good player. he can be a good replacement for pirlo. he has good physical presence n has good technical skills too.

Now all that's left is Galliani to agree with us and it's done!!!!!
I just hope Chelsea won't get in the way cause his price will raise to 30m EUR all of a sudden... It'd be great if he came in and Pirlo moved upfront!!!!

Now that the first match is over...I must say, Srna left some space for improvements. Against Brazil he was not much notable, still kept his level. But then againt, it was against Brazil ...Babić made a great match, for my supprise...All Milan players, Kaka, Dida, Cafu and Simic have to be praised also!!

To be honest Croatia surprised me, I think they are among the best teams in this WC really!!!

Well, Croatia is a good team, and they really could get through to the next round. I am just affraid of Guus Hiddink and his Socceroos.. ! There are some young players with much potential, like Srna, J. Leko, Klasnić or Kranjčar. Also Tudor, Kovač and some other veteran fighters. But the real problem is, that Croatia does not have many good bench players. Olić, and eventually Modrić for the attack. I would be very happy to see them go at least to the second round (then facing probably Italy or the Czechs) !

And what about Phillip Lahm today?? What a wonderfull tournament is he playing for us...uhhh,..Milan could really need him (remember Ziege )!

I think that Mascherano can do that job pretty well, we don´t need very fast players in that part of the field, instead we need destructive and technical players there. If we get fast players there, I think that we are going to play just like the premiers-h-i-t teams.

I think torres and crespo are the only solutions far AC in this moment

and what Yaya Toure is fast?No pal you're wrong I've been watching him all year long in Olympiacos and he sure ain't the fast type - one of the slowest in the Ivorian team I'd say!!

I think one of them!!! Am i right??? Or you think bringing them both!

I thinkTorres is the first option. But both of them would make a deadly couple.

i dont think we really need crespo, we hav gila, pipo and amoroso who are of the same style as crespo. but we must get torres

yeah we need torres

DAVID ODONKOR DAVID ODONKOR DAVID ODONKOR....oh wait...I'm not drunk anymore
Lahm was great though nut I expect the worst... I heard Chelski is in for him with 15 Million € bid

here we go again.. chelsea's greed has no end

They are not fun anymore

we should check in for bastin schwensteiger. he is a fine player and could fit in any side of midfield and could be a good sub for ageing seedorf

I don't think bayern would let him leave since they already lost ballack this season, but I do agree with you he would be an amazing signing and he would definitely take seadorf's place and not be his sub, just like Kaka and Rui, although Kaka is better then schwensteiger there is no doubt that seadorf would be benched and used as his SUB.

And there are a few other players that have caught my eye, some of the Equador players where amazing I don't know their names but I will check, there long balls and crosses into the box are 99.9% of the time accurate

not after last nights performance thought he gave the ball away far to much and seemed to lack ideas, but in the first game i agree he looked a totaly different player perhaps consistence might be a problem don't know just going on what i've seen. also seen today chelsea prepared to offer €20m for lahm.

Lahm stays at Bayern. The bid has been rejected...After this day (of bad football matches) I´d prefer Carceres from Paraguay/River Plate. He did a great job against the Sweds, and is could be a reinforcement, backup defender

After the second matches are ove, we can re - investigate the situation in this very interesting group:

1) Somebody here (I did it also,...) mentioned Boka (Ivory Coast´s left defender, not right). He played dreadfull against Holland. Devoted, but not at level. Also Tizie, the weakest Ivorian link. But, Eboue, K. Toure, but especially Meite and Zakora are excellent players who all could be Milan targets. They have to be praised ...

2) Sneijder...well, the first time I defended his performance. But he was once again not notable. The dutch trio Van Bommel - Covu - Sneijder looks altogether very unconvinceing, below their usual form. Maybe Wesley is still injuried or not fit, but I don´t think so. Soon, Van Basten will bring Van der Vaart in the first team, and Sneijder will move on the bench.

3) All my past criticism of Van Persie should be forgotten. Played once again very well, this time more strict on his right wing .

4) Forget Nistelrooy, just look at Drogba and Crespo...those two guys deserve our attention, even if Torres lands on Milanese ground .

5)Masercano is not notable by now...still waiting for him. Messi proved his class!!

crespo,tevez or torres in the attacking dept. i think our midfield is good as yet i haven't seen any defenders other than toure but no way would arsenal sell him. i do like ayala but he's 33 so to old

I don´t really think that Crespo could be a great signing. We have Pipo to make goals inside the box. By the way, both of them are ageing, so replace Pipo with another "old" player could be a really bad busines.

Tevez i heard is movin' to Chelski
And forget Torres and adriano they heading right away to Real Madrid

Source?

I think you're wrong about Mascerano!!!He does great job that the camera won't show you but is essential in a great team!!!It's logical not to notice him when there are so many great attacking players in this team...He doesn't need to come up too much but IMO he's one of the best in the team!!!

Once again if you don't score or tackle too much the crowd won't notice you...
Story of my life.. Ofcourse there's always the coach


Teves virtually is owned by Abramovic and the only way we could get him is if there's such an agreement between the two clubs because of us letting Sheva head there!!

I don't think Torres is on his way to Madrid, adriano?I don't care about him...

if Inter sell him then they're the biggest joke in world football!!!

...

what about Luis Valencia of Ecuador???

He's the best of the youngsters so far...

Give him some attention tonight if you haven't done it before

Who needs a source! There is none.
What happend to Raul
Real signed him when he was 16 and superb for the same team Torres plays now.
And he looks much like a Real MAdrid Component.
Look at Julio Baptista. They said he was going to Tottenham,Arsenal and Liverpool.
and arsenal nearly signed him.
Same scenario and Real will rob teams like Arsenal and Liverpool to get Him.
That's the source.

And Adriano seems to be mixing well with the Real Madrid contingent of Brazil.
Everytime he hangs out with Robinho, cicinho and Roberto carlos.
