i dont think he will be paid more than kaka but will have his full image rights

Which ar eworth 3 times his wage

It's better for a player to accept a lower wage then have to share his image rights (Ronaldo)

I think it's to do with smallish clubs like Pompey paying huge wages in order to attract decent players. But in this years showing, he's deserved to be on higher wages to be quite honest.

Anyways, on the 'Just In' thing on SSN they said Ronaldinho has just been in 'informal talks' with Milan, whatever that means.

yea exactly what i read his image rights are abt 15 million a year

While agents confirm a deal between Milan and Ronaldinho, Massimo Moratti insists “he won’t move a muscle before hearing Inter’s proposal.”

This week the Rossoneri – specifically general manager Adriano Galliani – announced that Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko were “180 per cent Milan players.”

President Silvio Berlusconi also stated a transfer for the Brazilian could be made official before Sunday.

Agent Roberto de Assis commented: “We only want to talk to Milan. He will either go there or stay at Barcelona” and last night go-between Ernesto Bronzetti told the media “there is a deal with the player.”

However, and certainly not for the first time, their cross-city cousins have dived in to ruin the party in spectacular fashion.

“I would like to say something about Ronaldinho,” stated President Moratti in the Corriere dello Sport.

“The player and Barcelona will not move a muscle before hearing our proposal. By ‘ours’, I mean that of Inter.

“What will we do? We have taken some time out to evaluate various situations. In the meantime, though, we are receiving unequivocal signs of interest.”

Having already snatched Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Patrick Vieira and David Suazo out of their clutches, Inter are prepared to cause another shockwave in the transfer market.

It is reported that Manchester City were the first club to officially contact Barca enquiring after Ronaldinho, followed by Inter.

Milan only made the call on Thursday to have permission to talk directly to the player’s agent, but it is claimed that next week Inter have set up a meeting with both Barcelona chief Joan Laporta and agent Assis.




Is this guy serious or just want us to spend more money

The only way I wouldn't go crazy if merda snatch Dinho from us, is if we would then sign Benzema, C.Ronaldo, and Mascherano..... we all know what are the chances of signing them

Mr Moratti :

MILAN, April 12, 2008 - "Ronaldinho to Milan''




After working lunch with Adriano Galliani, Roberto de Assis, the brother-agent of Brazilian champion, announces:







"In principle Ronaldinho and Milan are in agreement. There is an understanding in principle with the player; one hour is to be achieved with Barcelona. time to time. " The Milan is ready to grant the player a contract until 2012 from 8 million euros net a year.

oh that is just low...

where did u read that ?/

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!

Ronaldinho agrees Milan deal

I love this guy!

Gazzetta , tuttomercato web set an update for this news for next few hours !

Sacchi is right to some extent.

But, I don’t remember a player wearing Milan jersey who acted unprofessionally (didn’t work hard, or missed trainings regularly, or went out often at nights)

So, at Milan there’s a different regime.

You don't remember seeing a Milan player that didn't work hard? I think the only players I have seen work hard regularly this season are Ambro and Pato. The rest have used this season as a vacation by the looks of things.

Ronaldinho will just add to our problems in my opinion, and he's not the sort of player we need to have around Pato.

Sacchi

They have said that virtually R10 is a milan player but i will not be announced b4 the UCL final

We've agreed with the player for a 4-year contract with 8M/euros per year.

The only thing missing is Barcelona word.

Galliani will travel to Catalonia next week to seal the deal.

my man

Sacchi is an arrogant ***. sorry, just my feelings about him. not because of what he said about Ronaldinho, he's always like this. he criticizes everybody, everything. just because your team played spectacular football n years ago doesn't mean you have a right to have your say on every goddamn thing.

I have to dissagree with you.

If on the pitch players aren't on top form, doesn't mean that they're not working hard. Maybe some of them aren't motivated anymore, but thats smth else!

And when I said hard work, I meant that none of the players left training or missed training just for fun; they either were injuried or had a good reason.

my point was: Dinho missed more than half of Barca's training sessions this season, and thats NOT going to be repeated at Milan, I can assure u about that!

Aren't you being an *** yourself here?... don't mean to insult you but... think about it for a moment... Sacchi is a respected person in Italian soccer, a successful coach and a famous Milan fan... wouldn't you give your opinion if you were in his position? I'm sure all of us would do it...

He does not always criticize and he has never compared his Milan side with this one to make an argument... he's been like this in the past few seasons and seeing as Milan are not going through their best period in their history, his comments are not out of the blue...


How can you be so sure? Of course Don Silvio is going to have a word with him but sometimes it takes more than that to change a man!

its not all about Silvio, its about the overall environment in Milan.

he'll immidiately realize the philosophy of Milan and will see that players actually MUST respect first of all each other and then the coach and the management rules (if I can call them rules.... or maybe better called code of behaviour).

He did what he did at Barca, coz they allowed him too much liberty/freedom! He wasn't scared of anyone, and especially this season I think he totally lost motivation!

after all, what do you expect from a club who's staff-worker (cant remember who he was) said in the medias that there are split groups in Barca squad? I really had the utmost respect for Barca as a club in general, but recent problems have started to change my mind.

and I dont think there's a more organized club then Milan in Europe! (and I'm not saying this coz I love Milan, but I trully mean it!

Me? it doesn't matter because I'm nobody, and my words aren't quoted all over the world! my problem with Sacchi is that I don't remember him being positive and optimistic about one single thing. always cynical. gives me lots of negative energies!

That's just not true. He has his opinion and since he'd achieved much for us in the past he is the one we should hear. Also his comments are of minor importance for the teams attitude or energy, I don't think he's disturbing anyone.

As for his character...well, maybe that's the problem. He seems to be a very stubborn and self-assured man (like almost all great coaches)..that he proved with the recent "scandal" he was involved..

I agree about this. But still... I have doubts. Not about Milan. About Ronaldinho. It's too big a risk, one I would not take... then again, Silvio knows better and I hope he wins this bet of his!


You did not get me. I'm saying if you were in his shoes you would also express your opinion like he does... all of us would. Maybe some would be more optimistic and/or not so critical but we would speak our mind nonetheless.

in the end sacchi wants whats best for milan.

sacchi should stfu and mind his own business. He is useful to us for more than just on-field reasons. The revenue we bring in and fans we bring in by his name alone is worthy of his transfer. Besides if we get him on form and able to play with kaka, we will have an amazing midfield for the next 3 years. HE is flopaldinho now but i belive in milan he'll change.

Watch how milan will be looked at with more interest coming next season because the world is interested in seeing how ronnie does.


Now this transfer is done lets look at others:

defender
goalie
WORLDCLASS STRIKER: cannot cost less than 20 million.

and I'm sure more players would want to come in order to play alongside Dinho.

That's something I would never even consider to say about such a great Milan coach.

The transfer is not done, a deal still has to be agreed with Barca. I'm optimistic, Barca doesn't need him (Bojan Messi Eto'o the future)

Ronaldinho and his sponsors want to be in UEFA Cup next year? That's the big doubt.

but if he has agreed a deal in this week this thing would have been discussed

really? I dont care. I don't care who was or who did what? It's all in the past. Lets look at now the current present situtation. Where milan are in the same rank as sampdoria and fiorentina. We are no longer a world elite. Were average serie A team that flukes out in champions league.

Wrong
People fear the name of Milan, as corny as that sounds its true. Milan is having a bad season it happens to all of the teams. There is a cycle. No one can win forever, if you are so upset over one player or a 7th place finish then you are in the wrong place. Milan is bigger then one player or one season!!

no people fear manchester. Arsenal came to sansiro and showed no fear. What are you talking about. They fear favalli? seedorf? please.

You dont understand. Our team with Favalli and Seedorf won the Champions going though Manchester as if they were Reggina. They fear the fact that even though we have these players we still manage to rip through a Manchester headed by Ronaldo Rooney and anyone else. Dont forget what we have done with Favalli and Seedorf.

last year we won because of one player. He took the ball from mid and pretty much ran the team. He scored he made beautiful passes. He secured us the win in the final by the pass to inzaghi. Don't kid yourself. They fear kaka not milan

No one fears Milan at the moment. We're an average team with some world-class players like Kaka', Pato, etc.

An old team who runs out of steam by the 60th minute.

People fear Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern, R.Madrid, Inter, etc. Top teams in the top league. We're not in that group.

+1321321651321651534981514613518312123

and finally someone with logic has spoken.

Agree to Disagree dont get the idea that im hiding from the truth but its true teams fear Milan, what about Calgari, haha jk

but seriously i bet if we caugh byren in the champions they would be scared or if we caught Man Utd they wouldnt be so quick to jump the gun.

If they look at the history/past yes. But football is the moment. And I'm talking nowadays.

Otherwise people would fear Benfica, Ajax, etc.

I understand and question ( back on topic): will Ronaldinho come if we are playing UEFA next year?

i believe so. He needs to move and milan will be the perfect move for him.

Ronaldinho is just another Mercanary, i wouldnt be dissapointed if we lost out

I prefer someone with desire like Sheva (who really wants to prove something) and someone young, dynamic and creative in the mould of Ben Arfa (dosent have to be him though)

On the transfer rumours linking both Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko to Milan, he said: "I'm not sure if tactically Ronaldinho is the best player for us, although he's a great champion, technically skilled and very unpredictable.

"Sheva? He has the same characteristics as Pato, but I've never said I would be unhappy if he came back."

goal.com after the game comments

Not necessarily. there are lots of retired coaches/players who don't feel they need to give their opinion on everything out there. and believe me, they are more respected than those who always make cheesy comments and irritate people [like Pele].

I am with Bluesummers on this. Fear is not something the name Milan gives people at the moment, that's why teams are beating us, bad teams.

It's all well and good saying teams just play Milan with 11 men behind the ball, but it obviously isn't the case as we're losing these games, it's not like they're defending for the draw.

And in my opinion it's two very league bad seasons in a row. Yes, we won the CL last season, but it's a whole lot easier to do when you basically give up on the league. Now I'm not saying it was fluke, or a bad season that we won something. But winning that competition deluded not only the fans, but the club itself.

Anyways, on topic.. It seems that it's only a mtter of time until this Ronaldinho thread is moved into the players section.
