Milan’s interest in Carlos Tevez could materialise in the next few days after he walked out on Corinthians, but they face competition from Manchester United.

The Argentinean has been linked with the Rossoneri as they continue their search for Andriy Shevchenko’s replacement.

Tevez expressed his desire to play for one of Europe’s major clubs, although he is contracted to Corinthians until 2007.

The 22-year-old striker took his side to the Brazilian Championship last year scoring a total of 19 goals, but is now ready to leave after his relationship with new Coach Emerson Leao turned sour.

“I will no longer play for Corinthians if Leao is on the bench. I’m leaving and won’t play for him ever again,” snapped the young talent.

He hasn’t turned up to training for two days, infuriated with the new tactician’s decision to strip him of the captain’s armband.

“I don’t know how much longer I will stay with Corinthians. I may well have already played my last game for this club.”

Milan are waiting to see what the future holds after tonight’s crunch match against Red Star Belgrade. If the Rossoneri fail to qualify for the Champions League group stage, their summer market strategy may officially close or at least be reconsidered.

They can’t afford to hesitate too much, as reports suggest Manchester United are prepared to offer £25m to bring Tevez to England.

Meanwhile, Milan have not yet ruled out the idea of bringing Ronaldo back to the peninsula. Real Madrid Coach Fabio Capello was cryptic when questioned on the Brazilian international’s future.

“Ronaldo to me is only a Real Madrid player at the moment,” said Capello in a Press Conference.

“The fact that he is courted by many teams means that he is talented, but I believe that a player should stay only if he is glad to do so,” added Don Fabio.

“If that is not the case, then he must speak out in order for the club to examine the situation and consider the options.”

...

I doubt it very much. And I know he's a great player, but his recent actions aren't very impressive - do we need a troublemaker like him at Milan?

his "recent actions" are that he wants to leave because his car was attacked by fans while his wife and kid were inside???

Why get pissed at the coach for that? Or does he blame the coach for his team playing badly? Or is he pissed, coz he was removed as Captain?

And how well do Argentines and Brazillians get along on the same team?

we continue and continue, and continue and continue to search for replacment.

Hope Tevez will be the "replacement" for andryushka!

Their coach doesn't like Argentinian players and want him out. The captain thing was only to piss him off

I guess the new coach is just an occasion to leave ...

**** ALL THIS F@CKING MUMBO-JUMBO AND UNCERTAINTY FOR A F@CKING TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


...

who's the traitor?

If you want to blame somebody there are plenty candidates and Sheva isn't one of them IMHO.
Let's just wait until september first

the one that kisses blue shirts for money!!!


that b1tch started it all ...

We talked about this many many (too much) times. It's time to put this one behind and move on

What a great point! I'm serious! Now that I think about it, I don't want to blame the managment as much anymore. Sheva left us in a terrible situation and we can't seem to find a solution for it. I think the Milan managment and especially Berlusconi, really care about who they want to bring and they are being very picky about it! One thing I know for certain, is that Milan don't sign bad apples. And they usually like to sign a player that likes to play for Milan. But this time they are being extra picky about it because we are talking about replacing Milan's best player in the past decade! Believe me when I tell you Milan are hard at work and are only keeping their options open. We should have some faith. I know how frustrating it can be as I have expressed it myslef before, but let's not jump into conclusions until the transfer market closes.

yeah I know but we're not like him ... we can't just forget ...


Anyway hope we buy a great striker plus replace Amoroso as soon as possible!!!

I'm not jumping into no conclusions ... I surely believe in our management and I'm one of the few that defend them lately. That was just a moment of unwitting rage

I was actually talking to other people. I quoted you because I agreed with you about the Sheva thing. I know you have faith dst!

Well, I think dst is right about this one. Sheva is the one that put us in this mess. And the problem is that he asked to leave when nobody was expecting it. If he would have told Galliani one year ago that the next summer he was going to leave, we would already have his replacement. But no, he waitied 'till the end of the season to announce it and that cathced our board un-prepared. That's why it's taking so long for us to find a worthy substitute.

Rivaldo Vieri Amouroso Favalli

they were not bought to be placed on the frontlines!!!

Maybe they already knew before.You never know. He said that he will leave in MAY. That is enoug time to find a striker. The problem is the scandal and our board. BUT LET'S JUST WAIT ANOTHER WEEK BEFORE ACCUSATIONS. Let's stop with this **** about Sheva

Yea but still bad choices

Rivaldo wasn't a bad apple. Players usually become more mature as they get older and that's exactly the case with these players you mentioned. Although it's worth mentioning that Favalli and Amoroso are players with great personalities but ok abilities. Maybe you don't know the definition of the term "bad apple"? Players like Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Di Canio, Couto, Matterazzi and such. Players that have a tendecy to do ugly things.

But they didn't cost us anything. Inter always seem to buy great players but they just can't evade their Loosery!!!

When we buy good, IT IS good!!!

O.k. You wastalking about personalities I was talking about capability

Yeah, I was hinting at Ibra when I said that. That's probably number one reason Berlusconi didn't sign him. Let alone the fact that he had a horrible year!

Inter are loosers no question about it .
I was talking purely about ability

The good apples left are "NOT FOR SALE"!

Milan never buys bad apples except Simic, Rivaldo, Redondo, Dalla Bonna ....

Redondo!!!!!!!!!!!???

Noooooooooo!!! That hurt ... he's one of my favourites and was no "Bad Apple" or whatever that is ... If it wasn't for his injuries he would have offered much more!!!

Look up a few posts for the definition of the "bad apple". Plus, I think many of those players you mentioned, except for Dalla Bona, have done their part for Milan. I have great respect for Milan's attitude towards players. They always have a great mixture of players that in their own right, make Milan what it is! Unlike teams like Real Madrid and Chelsea who just buy super stars with huge transfer fees!

Bad apple = Edgar Davids

Great example!

I heard we %&*%^ Mancini's wife and that's why they threw him out ...

If everyone that failed at Inter was thrown out because everybody was having an affair with somebodies wife or girlfriend then it's safe to say that Inter players have more sex then they actually play football

they f@ck football too with their pathetic displays ...

VERY good point

According to Calciomercato.com, us and Man U are in pole position to land Tevez, but I'm sure that he will be playing for Man U this season, since that seems to be the pattern of our current transfer market strategy

Yep, leave the young talented players for the other teams and pick up the cheap, old, fat ones. Embarrasing!

i just got off the phone with tevez ... and he said he ll come but he taking all his time to get the headlines!anyways mm i talked to galiani too , he said hes having fun travelling all around the world

Ditto.

It hurts.

This is our situation .. I think in the end we'll have a big laugh about how we were all worrying and being all sarcastic ..

@ X-Offender .. But believe me not as embarissing as Vieri's move to Milan last season .. Nothing can compare to that.

Yeah, but last year we had Sheva, so Vieri was there just to warm the bench. But this year there's no Sheva. So what do we do?

This year we can find a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig Sh!T, to put on the bench, so it can keep it warm.

Good, isn't it?

We already have Amoroso and Borrielo for that.

we ... buy Vieri back???

That would be a wise option.
