i can say almost 100% positive it doesnt.....

Proof?

And why did you wait all these days until I posted? Hm.

I think Amauri has an Italian passport now.

(And please guys: NO MORE BICKERING. If you want to snark at each other, do it in PMs.)

Good one!

Snark? I must be easily amused or something, that word made me smile.

To make the record straight. The non eu rule applies anywhere in the world. If you dont have a eu passport or eu heritage in your immediate family then you are not considered eu. Doesn't matter if you moved or not. Adebayor could not be transfered right now if we tried.

Actually you can apply for the status. It can be further than immediate family. It can be distant relatives. This is often the case in Argentina.

Yes, and a number of Argentine players are under invesitgation for fraudulently getting EU passports. It'll be interesting to see how that one shakes out.

well yeah but in most cases its often rejected. As tennie said there is a huge scandal issues going on with fake Eu and fake age claims and etc. I was just talking the guaranteed case.

Yeah I know about that. Lazio in particular could be implicated with that. I don't remember if it was Carrizo who was in question...

But still. It's possible. And you can prove it... I'm sure they are cracking down on loopholes and fake passports.

Heh, maybe Milan should sign me. I got EU status (Spanish EU passport)... I play as a defensive midfielder lol... Milan could use one more...

^^

Then the whole point of unloading Brocchi would be lost.

please no more dm. we just got rid of brocchi lets keep trend up.

No, maybe you have really low standards when it comes to funny stuff? I do too. I smile at anything half worth smiling about. Good for health, I heard.

Could be a good addition but Napoli will never sell him to us!

Maggio and Gamberini.

God? Maldini style

Napoli will be pretty reluctant to sell him to us. I get the feeling he may be injury prone like Nesta, but i better wait a few years before a concrete conclusion

When you're talking to Galliani tell him I can play in Kaka's place ....

I think the chances of a new player in January are very slim but never say never because our situation in defense is very tricky and a CB might come. remember how you used to say Milan would never reinforce with more than two or three players, that's not Milan's philosophy to suddenly change the face of the team, etc.? 11 new players came in and 5 left.

The face of Milan didn't change this summer, Milan just got more depth.

And before the end of last season I stated that Cesear Maldini said Milan was in touch with 5 players at the time ... I don't need to guess, the man himself said it even before the summer.

Now you want to go run rings till Jan, go ahead.

The fish doll gives R7 a cookie. It's been a while. (He wants to know where his harem girl is, though!)

I still think you were being too sure here - like it's a fact:



The face of Milan didn't change? Zambrotta, Ronaldinho, Flamini, Abbiati are all new members of the starting XI (and most probably either Sheva or Borriello will be a regular starter too). Milan's XI has changed a lot and it is a fact.

I'd ask Jack Sparrow, if I were you.

Actually we did completely change in many areas. Especially midfield and attack (and attacking midfield too). We can field teams that look nothing like what we fielded before. Our defense is not as changed as the other two areas of the field... however, we did add two defenders... Senderos (lets hope the best for him) and Zambrotta... to say the face of the team didn't change... I can't agree with that.

Now if acquire what... 11 players our face didn't change? Also 5 players left. Including Simic, Oddo and Brocchi. Oh man... Brocchi leaving... that certainly does change the face of the midfield.

A lot depends on the definition of 'face. If you mean face in literal term, then that's still the same. Our face is Kaka, and has been for some years now. If you mean face as in team outlook, then yes, we've got some new blood flown in, and things have changed a tad in all departments, to be honest.

But face as in most valuable player, that is still Kaka. Just like inter's Ibra. Barca's Messi. Manchester's Diver.

Well I think we have different definitions. Of course, our core players are still there (Kaka and when you go back to the defense, everyone's favorite Kaladze)...

I feel we could field a viable team even with Kaka not playing (lets just say with Ronaldinho and Seedorf as playmakers)... which is important to him because it will reduce the pressure on him... and there will be more players that the opposing team has to mark. Kaka was the victim of a lot of harsh tackles last season...

Last season when Kaka wasn't there, we were lacking something. Despite the loss to Bologna, our attack was quite vibrant as was our depth.

Aha .. Thank you for clarifying that, as I was clearly unaware of the players that we had

I remember you saying that a few times actually. It seems you were right.

Yeah, shelter under this colorless sarcasm. you don't have anything better to say.



That 5 new players actually happened to be 11 new players that comes from someone who claims the face of Milan hasn't changed after this summer (despite the injection of 4-5 new XI players )

oh snap!

Mlan have just acquired Senderos, in order to reinforce the defense, and could be that are thinking also to Kulusic for next future. Zvonimir Boban for this reason yesterday was in Vartek stadium, in order to watch the competition among Croatia-Italy Under21, in which Kulusic played.


from TMW

milan still need to get a new defender.. our defence is really fragile at the moment.. we event lost to lugano yesterday..

I'm Glad To See We Are Getting Good Young Talent, But I'd like To See a Young Experienced Cb..

Young and experienced? I dunno about that.

Though Thiago Silva would be good... he has a bit of a blend of both. He has over 130 games with Fluminense...

I'd rather see an Italian.

Young and experienced would be somebody who's been played since they were 18 or something, and are now 24. That's 6 years of experience, plus they still have a good 10 years to go.

So would I... but the lack of good young Italian CBs is a problem (like Lippi pointed out). Sadly, Chiellini isn't leaving Juve anytime soon. I would like a Serie A ready defender, like Zapata. But we don't alway get what we want.

sergio ramos

No thanks.

yea whatever we cant get him anyway

No it's not that. I want someone who is good at the back. He doesn't fit the bill.

^^

Who does?

ramos is not gud

Ever since he moved to Madrid I have seen a lot of potential in him, and today I consider him the second best defender in Spain, right after Puyol. It would be a dream for me if he came to Milan, but I know Madrid and I know they would never hand over such a quality player to their top European rival.

No frankly, I think there are better defenders than that. He's overrated. Cristian Zapata, Giorgio Chiellini... are examples of better defenders...

Just because he's good in Spain does not mean he'll cut it Italy.

There's also nothing to say he won't be just as good, or even better, in Italy.

Ramos is miles better than Zapata, and is at a similar level to Chiellini. Have you even seen Ramos play?

Ramos is quite good, but I see a bit of a Kaladze in him from time to time. Plus he has Real cooties and while that's a good thing for some people for me it's...not.

No he's not. Not even close. Chiellini can actually defend. Ramos has been known to be a player to go forward, but he makes more mistakes defensively than you can imagine.

He's not even close to Zapata. And Chiellini is way better than him.
