I really believe we need young attackers because Pippo is getting old and Milan can not count on him any longer

I don't know him... but he could be what Galliani was talking about, which I seriously doubt as he ain't free.

I think he'll make the switch .. This winter or summer, he'll end up in Milan.

Milan spending £22.5 for a 17 yo
UNBELIEVABLE!

£7.5 is like 11M/euros. For a wonder-kid.

Too much, I believe. But... they'll know what they're doing.

i saw him in the world club championship he really impressed me an looked good

Tribalfootball

No the clubs interest in him was confirmed a few weeks ago when Umberto Gandini (I think it was him) said they where very interested in Pato and the fact that he didn't have an EU passport was a problem but if they had to they would find a way around it and sort it out so that we will ba able to dign him in january

The Milan of 2010 will be unstoppable but until then gulp!

once in 5-6 years there has to be a change in generation and include some young blood in a team, and thats exaclty what will happen with Milan next season. Most of changes will be in defence, however.
I heard about Pato, but this time is from Tribal so the news enters in one of my ears and gets out from the other.

HES GOING TO BE AWSOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
really hope we get him
this kid is pure classssss

trust me ive seen brasilian games and this kid is worth it
i dont think he will come this winter
but who knows it might be a dream come true

Oh you're enthusiastic about this... I hope by rights!!

I never watched him play, but 20 million for a kid is really... hmpf
we are not f*cking real madrid or chelsea

mmm i would say we are a team with class and dont want to buy players for no reason....
lets remind ourselfs that silvio is the ex-prime minister of italia(I dont want to say what other stuff he ownes because it will a long time so i definetly dont think money is the reason and IMO although galliani has screwd up the last transfer season and probably this one(hope not) we have got a pretty nice record that real madrid or chelsea hasnt been close to achive in this new millenium....so to tell u the truth i believe that galliani knows what hes doing...unless someone gives him drugs every time the transfer season comes on
IMO if we buy someone like IDK Beckham the credit will be his
and for example if gourcuff becomes the next best player in the world then the credit will be ours
and to tell u the truth that makes me proud of being a rossonero
i beleive PATO could make history here with KAKA

We're better... and (Silvio is) richer!! So what are you talking about??

@sansiro1708: I hope that if he comes then they will make history along with Ricky

Let's just hope that what Galliani said about Milan's affair with Brazilians was not just a bed-time fairy tale...

4 sure!!

real just got a TVdeal for 1 million euros....
and Abramovic is richer than Silvio.
(he has 14 billions, and silvio 12 billions)

Oh... so we ain't got enough money to compete with them...

there is a difference
between having money, and willing to spend it.

nowadays chelsea and RM are more popular for young players...

PS: I meant 1 billion euros...

yes but you said "we're not madrid or chelski" as if we don't have enough money... 20m is nothing for Berlusconi!!

Young footballers like those two because they are big-spenders and are full of big name players, not because of the beautiful football they're playing or anything... I mean, it's their policy to have such players... I doubt they'd want Gattuso!

I want PATO!
I can't get to see all the great and young players end up in Barcelona and Real and... it hurts!
They say he'll be the next Ronaldo (and Ronaldinho!). so what's the big deal?

How many times have you heard this about brazilian talents? He's the next Ronaldo, that's the next Rivaldo, the other one is the next Ronaldinho... Please, if he's good, then sign him. But cut the crap with the successors thingy.

PS: Don't take this personal, I'm talking in general.

A slight possibility that Pato ever comes to Milan is only if he has european passport. Milan can only sign one non european player in the summer (in january noon, that is way we were waiting for Grimi - so he could work out his european papers), so if Pato hasn't got it, Milan will not loose a non european place for unproven 17 year old boy. That is the reality.

Inter Turn Down Milan Bid For Pato

17 year-old Internacional de Porto Alegre striker Alexandre Pato has apparently received his first European offer, although the Brazilian club have rejected the bid out of hand.

According to Italian sports daily ‘Corriere dello Sport’, AC Milan made a 10 million Euro bid that was turned down immediately by Internacional de Porto Alegre.

The Inter management have tagged the player at 20 million Euros and won’t budge until they get the figure they’re asking for.

Alexandre Pato is also attracting admiring glances from the Rossoneri’s Nerazzurri arch-rivals and Internacional may use their namesakes’ interest to raise the starting price even further.

The player is currently preparing for Brazil’s Under-20 South American tournament that sees Brazil face Argentina on Friday in Asunción, Paraguay, in the first of five final matches that will decide who the princes of South America are.

Pato broke through to the professional side after his contract buyout clause was hiked up from 2 million to 20 million Euros earlier this year, Inter fielding him foe the first time against Palmeiras where he scored and booked a place for the successful FIFA CWC Japan 2006 challenge against Ronaldinho’s Barça.

It was predictable

LOL. They want 20M/euros for a kid.

The worst is that some clubs are willing to give them the 20M

Yeah, they are worried Milan is gonna pull off another Kaka.

too expensive..

so let's go for Torres now..
