From the club website. Longish interview, but here are the relevant snippets along with quick translations thereof.

[Galliani: Gilardino has confirmed his desire to remain in milan, accepting the competition for starting spots. Milan has always wanted Gila to remain. The issue is closed and forgotten. Now we're thinking about next season.

Gilardino: I'm very happy about this meeting, it was very important. I'd like to remain here as long as possible. I'm happy about what Pippo said (in an interview, Pippo has said that he'd like to see Gila remain a Milan striker for the next ten years). In reality, I didn't have any doubts. The press exaggerated my words; the desire to remain at Milan was always there. I've given this interview to tell everyone that I was never interested in joining another club, especially not Inter.]

GALLIANI: ‘Gilardino ha confermato la sua volontà di rimanere al Milan, accettando la sana competizione che c’è nella nostra squadra e in tutte le maggiori squadre d’Europa. Il Milan ha sempre avuto il desiderio che Gila restasse qui, a condizione che lui fosse felice di rimanere. Questo mi è stato confermato da Alberto e quindi il problema è chiuso, dimenticato. Ora pensiamo alla prossima stagione’.

GILARDINO: ‘Sono molto contento di questo incontro, ci siamo chiariti, è stato molto importante. Sono felice, e consapevole che questa è una squadra importante, dove vorrei rimanere il più a lungo possibile. Lo ero prima e lo sono ancora di più ora. Ho sentito Pippo, mi ha detto cose molto belle. Ma ho sentito anche altri compagni che mi chiedevano di pensarci bene. In realtà io non avevo dubbi: i giornali hanno un po’ stravolto le mie parole, ma la volontà di rimanere al Milan c’è sempre stata. Ho fatto quell’intervista proprio per dire a tutti che non mi sono mai offerto a nessuna altra squadra, e tanto meno all’Inter'.

So. He's staying. Nice.

yay he be gud sub for henry or eto

Great!!

Thank you Gila!

good news, it means oli is on his way out.

Ha...Gila is chickensh!t!!!!

Just kidding Bertie...u know we love u...

@bigmacmtl:

Astute...very astute...so this is Galliani's first lie that's been caught out..he said Oliveira would remain a Milan player.

Unless he plans to loan Oli out...Hmmmmmmmm

It's said Oliveira will be included in the Emerson deal!?

So there's one person, who's gonna walk off with a very unfavourable opinion of the club...well you can't please everybody...

Why?? Do you have any clues that Milan are behind his sister's kidnapping? Or did Milan force him into mishitting from point-blank range!??

If Gila complains about not being given enough time, imagine how bad Oliveira was in the practice sessions... I bet he couldn't even run straight!

He should be blaming himself, not Milan.

Also true....say...you still haven't answered my question about Emerson...

what's that!?

Look up ...and I don't mean at ur ceiling...is he a DM?? or a water carrier...?

There's nothing in this page, I think I saw that in some other thread... but yeah, he is a true DMF... plus with greater technique than your standard one.

lolzzz my mistake...was in the Emerson 'reveals' thread...thanks a bunch anyway...so how do u think he fits in? Instead of Max?

He fits in very well on the bench... I would not like to see him take Ambro's place. He could come on for all three of our "holding buddies", Ambro, Rinho and maybe Pirlo if we need to completely kill creativity down!

So basically ur saying a starter on Real wants to come over and be a bencher on Milan...hmm...

On that thought...good night...

still Pippo shows who's the real gentlemen.

I really never thought Pippo is so kind.

I'm not talking only about the speech that he gave to Gila, but also to a lot of other things like "getting to MilanLab for only 3h to prepare for Ch.L. preliminaries" "training very hard eventhough was being chosen as a sub to Gila" etc...

Good Luck Pippo!
Good Luck Gila!

Of course, cause Milan is a greater club!

He's not a constant starter there...
