Just brilliant .

I would welcome Lavezzi with open arms! he would not be Kaka's replacement if he came, he'd be simply a new signing.

Sort of like Oli right?

Oliveira? no, why so say that?

If Kaka leaves and we do not get at least 4 new promising players, I am boycotting any matches until galliani and berlusconi leave. and everybody else should do the same.

Please, tell me, WHO THE HELL are we going to play behind the two strikers? Seedorf?

This is also a great boost for Leonardo. Having the linchpin of the team leave just as you are about to build a new squad. I think galliani has forgotten that Kaka single-handedly won us the CL07.

We should calm down a bit...

Ronaldinho!

I thought an announcement wasn't going to be made until Monday.

Is Galliani trying to upstage Berlu or something?

The CL victory was an excuse for staying inactive in the transfer window. It justified our abstinence and the board used that victory to say "we're fine as we are". A year without trophies would have triggered at least a couple of changes in the squad which would be enough for Milan to reach 4th place at least. No changes were made and the result of that was Milan finishing 5th place. The CL is huge money which not even the Ronaldinho and Beckham brands could cover as it is proved now.

We get what we deserve.


I'm still not so sure it will go through.


Hey hey hey! I want Kaka to stay as much as you but nobody can be compared to Maldini or Baresi. Kaka already is a very important player in Milan's history (he is the reason why we won one of our seven CL trophies) but he's not of the same status.

No its just if he didn't say anything he would be shot. Tifosi are gathering in via turati by the 100s

Do you remember when sheva left? They said the same thing. We are sorry this happened but we promise a great attacker will come! Then came oli who at that point was like lavezzi is right now.

Yeh its the best time to calm down and let galliani sell San Siro, make seedorf our next captain and change our name to FC Pirelli for sponsorship purposes.

brilliant!

Makes sense. except the last line. it's not our fault the management make mistakes!

We're not going to get 4 players! If this sale is for economic reasons and not for footballing reasons then we won't spend more than half of it if any at all!


Not even close. Oliveira was nobody when he came and he surely was not destined to become a big player for Milan. Lavezzi is a much greater prospect.

Oli was 25 when we signed him and came off top goal scorer. He was one of the most demanded strikers at that time. Why do you think we paid 20+ for him.

Not that I'm justifying this, but this is hardly the first time a superstar has been let go for financial purposes. Probably not the best example, but anyone who's ever watched WWE will remember that McMahon was forced to release Bret Hart (then the heavyweight champion) because he couldn't afford to keep him in the company.

He was 26 when he joined us, he was not top scorer (unless you mean Betis' top scores which means nothing) and he surely was not courted by any other big club. We got him for 15m.

Or maybe you could have talked about Zidane or Nesta... but that's not really related to football...

And, judging by his scoring ratio, earned 5m for every Serie A goal he scored. Talk about paying dividends.

no we signed him at 25, he turned 26 here. He had a pretty high scoring record. I thought it was 20 million but I guess not. Well we got 40 for sheva so i guess it makes sense. 30% goes to transfers.

First example I thought of, so don't feed me to the lions.

But now that you mention it, Juve survived just fine after dumping Zidane (they later signed some guy named Buffon), so there's no reason why we can't. It was Calciopoli that did them more damage than anything.

The management should have done everything possible to convince Gourcuff to come back when they knew they'd sell Kaka and there'd be a big hole left in the midfield. we could have had a decent replacement for him now...

This was one of their biggest managerial gaffes ever. stupid, stupid, stupid.

I doubt it was his choice to move. He pretty much was asked to pick a club and he chose madrid. Thats why chelsea is not possible because like mancity he would not move there.


the agreement is over whether or not we'll get a player out of this or more money and kaka's wage, therefore it is yet to be agreed. But i'm sure it will happen.

no he would be benched and he knew that, that is why he chose bordeaux. We already have kaka's replacement at this club, Ronaldinho.

This will be a long, stressful transfer window. I'm really worried about the midfield. losing Kaka and Gourcuff, and relying on Seedorf and Dinho to do the job... this will not work.

The fact that we're supposedly planning to now center the team around an egotistical prick in Ronaldinho is what worries me far more than Kaka's sale.

its june 4th, the window hasn't even opened



Were going to have lots of fun. Lets see first if we can keep pato and pirlo this summer before worrying about purchasing

what does that mean, the definition egotistical prick and how dinho is one? Just wondering

I insist! In August 2006 he was 26 years old (was born May 6, 1980), not that it really matters. Well it was 20m actually as Vogel went the other way, I had forgotten about that.

In any case, he's never been as hot a prospect as Lavezzi.


I was just messing with you, I mean... WWE? Never mind the system it all works with there, I've never even heard the names you mentioned.

Oh Juve did more than fine with the money they got from that deal. And so did the rest of Serie A, that move initiated many transfers.

Silvio just announced this:




So if Kaka leaves, it will be pinned on him because he supposedly wanted out


I hope he comes out and says either he is not leaving or that he was forced with no choice.


Now that Maldini has retired and he is on the verge of becoming Milan's captain, why would he leave He is being paid 9 million a season and is loved worldwide by every milan supporter.

Honestly, Silvio thinks anyone believes this? "Kaka will have the final say" my ****.

My apologies, I thought he was 25 and then turned 26.

Latest headlines.

f****** c***. can't you just sign realistic players and develop them like everyone else

So he's willing to pay nine figures for Christie Brinkley and only 68 million for Kaka? The world's gone mad, I tell you.

your absoloutley right. Where is this money coming from. Not even those crazy sheiks are talking figures like this!

Here's the latest fecal material from Berlu, courtesy of our favorite manure farmers.



Yeah, dinner at McDonald's, perhaps, because we're so in debt that they're dumping Kaka. And the quote about Carlo defies explanation.

Go coach the team yourself if you think you have all the answers, Berlu. That is when you're not busy coring Dinho up the rear to the media.

So I will do the honor of showing everyone how this transfer is going to be played.

If kaka goes he will be forced to say it was his decision and it will be for the better of the club as we can spend on new transfers and etc, but we will be losing a great player.

If he decides to stay, silvio can come out and say now that they have kept a great champion and they cannot sign any more players because of the debt. It will be like Kaka is our new signing.

Either way its a lose situation for fans. I gotta hand it to silvio and galliani, they are absoloute genius master minds. Who could have guessed that a plot like this could have been planned before the market could even begin

most likly on monday kaka will leave for madrid or there is a minor chance that he mite be made milan captain imo

We just want to sell our best player for money? Is our name - Valencia?? Even Roma with own debts refuses to sell Mexes....

I hate Galliani and Berlusconi....

Hope tiffosi will do smth.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure galliani will get his rewards on his flight back

Maybe you guys should take over?

Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has admitted that star player Kaka will leave the club for Real Madrid as he fears for the future of Serie A.

The transfer guru believes that Italy cannot compete with Spain and England financially, and he is predicting many more great players to leave the peninsula over the next few years.

"There is a deal in place for Kaka [to join Real Madrid] but it has not been concluded yet," said Galliani, as reported by Sky Italia.

"I don't know if Kaka will stay. The only deal in place is for Kaka. No one else will leave and we are sure Pato will not depart.

"It's true, this is the first time Milan are selling a player for money. But remember, the club makes half of what Madrid makes as the taxes in Italy are higher.

"Over the next few years we will see lots of important players being sold in Serie A.

"I am sorry for the fans and I know they are upset, but I can promise that Pato will not be sold. [Chelsea manager] Ancelotti is a friend and he will not ask us for players."

Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid is expected to be completed early next week, probably Monday.

no need we have an arab ready to do so.

It's not about that. No one said that he/she can do better than our board. It's easy to spot mistakes when you're on the outside or after they have happened and our board like all human beings do make mistakes. The thing is, they have made too many mistakes as of late and that's why we finish 4th and celebrate like we have won the championship!

What's more puzzling though is that we're the only club talking about taxes and stuff when it's our own president that's the prime minister of Italy. He probably would have changed things if he could but it's quite ironic and a bit annoying hearing these things only from our vice-president's mouth.

If Kaka leaves Milan, I would prefer him in Madrid than Chelsea or City. It would be painful but we would cope.

100% agree with you on that. I always said that the CL win was both a blessing and a curse. It's sad for me as a fan to think of a CL win that way, but this is only because our management are the way they are.

Monday will be a sad day both for Milan and Italian football. Kaka, then Ibra...


You're assuming that we'll do as Juve did and spend that transfer money on new quality players. But that is clearly not the case, as dst said, this transfer is happening for financial reasons not footballing ones.

You think we're going to go out there and get the next Buffon? Get a world class CB? No we'll stay as we are with Abbiati and Dida and Favalli and Bonera in defence. We're perfect as we are we have no problems.

Then watch them go out and spend a ridiculous ammount on a mediocre player like Adebayour. You know a couple of years ago I haled our management as one of the most cunning and shrewed when it came to transfers, let's not forget the great deals made for Pippo, Nesta, Seedorf and Pirlo we really stuck it to Inter with latter 2 of the 4. But now they've become slow operators, willing to spend big money on players that are not worth half that, not going after the players we need instead they're going after flashy options to sell shirts and memrobilia.

I'm sorry but since the Sheva sale it's like they've been on a mission to run Milan into the ground and make it a laughing stock.

i can't believe this.. the first man in the club is the prime minister of the country..

yet the second man keeps complaining about taxes and our income..

first time we sell a player for money? are we suppose to be proud of that?
