Oddo wants Milan discount 
Saturday 5 August, 2006

Massimo Oddo has not lost hope of joining Milan and has begged Lazio to lower their £8m asking price.

“Claudio Lotito is said to be asking for £8m to release me, but if Real Madrid paid just £5m for someone like Fabio Cannavaro, I don’t see why I should have such a price tag put on my head,” pointed out the full-back.

Oddo was one of Cannavaro’s World Cup winning teammates in Germany and has already set his sights on the club he wants to join this summer.

“Through thick and thin, I have always remained a Milan supporter,” admitted the 30-year-old. “On top of that, they are a world class club. It’s clearly obvious that I wouldn’t reject such an opportunity.”

The Rossoneri will begin the 2006-07 campaign with an eight-point penalty due to the Calciopoli scandal and must wait to see if they’ll enter the Champions League after their preliminary round tie with Red Star Belgrade.

FOR GOD'S SAKE SIGN HIM!!!!

He clearly wants to come to Milan and not only that but he would be one of our loyal players, which is why I would like to have him even more

so now its just a game of whether milan gives in to a price or lazio does. and lazio has the upper hand since they have the player. btw, was nesta with lazio when they won the scudetto in 2000??

How come Oddo is suddenly such a good player at this age? I mean I never heard about him much before last year... I would love Oddo in Milan though... I don't care if he is 30... He can give us a good 3 years!

If we manage to get both Gallas and Oddo, then I say we're done for the defense. And since in every probable way Ibra is coming too, shall we say our mercato will be closed with those three players?

I'm scared we're only going to get Ibra...
Milan keeps saying we are covered in all areas... I don't understand that...

I mean they want a shot at the scudetto too.

what???!!! Why??!!

I don't think Oddo is worth near 8 Million, and we shouldn't accede to it.  He's hardly awesome or anyhting, plus he is already 30.  I know at Milan that could mean 10 more years service! but really, he must be cheaper.
