It is pretty stupid. Although, I do find there's less of a 'support your local team' attitude in the US. When I was in NY a few months ago, I saw jerseys of every kind, it was crazy.

yeah north americans are all bandwagon jumpers and glory hunters lol

the only outside home team i root for is the Florida State Seminoles

other than that...it's University of Memphis, Memphis Grizzlies and Tennessee Titans

problem though is I live in Missouri now. I think that's why fans are spread across the US because so many people move to different parts of the country

Yeah so was Cr7, ribery, zidane, ronaldo etc...

haha.. this means nothing.. remember how Thierry Henry react when he received a barca shirt when he was at Arsenal?

even after his reaction, he still moved to barca..

Shall we believe you or this Mediaset article that the Sheiks are not interested in Milan?

It might be nice farytail if we accepted arabian offer. On Manday we might say 'Kaka is not for sale'. But Berlu is too proud and too foolish to accept this offer....(((

or he will sell kaka get some return and then sell some major shares to arabs

In that case we could bring Kaka back home if he turned out a flop in Real

kaka flop in spain will be really strange to me i think he will work best in La liga

I was just hypothesizing

I thought the meeting was gonna be held on Monday. if it's today then we will most certainly know the decision by tonight, and it's obvious what it's gonna be...

... grazie e arrivederci, Kaka.

yea something similar to SHEVA says goodbye to Milan

They're meeting tonight and the decision is to announced tomorrow, although I'm sure leaks will come out tonight.

Ricky is gone already IMO

the difference being that we did our best to keep Sheva

The treatment Ricky has received has been abysmal and I don't blame him one bit for leaving. Good luck Ricky and thanks for the memories

I will honestly find it hard to forgive Berlu, not that he cares about my approval, oh wait duel citizenship says i can vote during the upcoming elections .

No! I can't see Ricky going to MAdrid. He'll stay!

i doubt it fiorentino + zizou + 12M is a hard thing to say no to, especially when your current boss treats you like a turd for a team that had ultras boo the captain who played 20 years wih the same club.

Sad but true. we all remember how hard Galliani tried to make Sheva stay. this time around the player wants to stay but he has to accept the decision of his sale (wouldn't be suprised if they came out and said it's Kaka's decision )

I'm really looking forward to Monday, because then there's the official decision.
Hopefully it will be the case, that Kaka is staying! I don't want him to leave and as far as he expressed himself, he wants to stay at Milan. Although he might not be happy that Galliani and Berlusconi want to sell him to Real(if it really is true)....

One point that probably keeps Kaka in Milan is that his family is happy there.
And IMO he won't be forced out just because of money....I mean we don't need that money so desperately do we? As far as I know are we one of those clubs who harldy have any depts....

Forza Ricky and please stay!

Anyone noticed this?



^^ Berlu: "I have great confidence in Ronaldinho"
--
The moment we signed Dinho I knew what his plan was...



EDIT: it's a scary thought but anyone thinks we're selling Kaka because Berlu's dear love Dinho cannot express himself when playing next to Kaka?

Havn't notices it so far...

I can't believe that we wants to sell Kaka that Ronaldinho is noticed more or whatever....

He must know very well how much Kaka added to the success of Milan and not only this season.

For what its worth, I found a article on Marca concering Kaka supposed medical, doesn't exactly look legit, but I figured I would share it with you guys anywayz for what its worth:

Rumour has it that Silvio will tell Ricky to say the move was his choice. Apparently management has promised two major signings to appease the fans.

You hit the nail squarely on the head

One of them being Adebayor

http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jun7t.html

or toni

Can't we wait up? Do we have to dramatize this matter?

What?

the article posted before says that berlusconi has postponed the talks with kaka to monday night

EDIT: After all he said that he would keep Ricky if it was his decision...that's a good thing or does it mean that he really wants to say that everything was Kaka's decision??

Personally I feel he(Sivio) wants to save face.

Regardless of what Berlusconi says, we can never take it really as a fact, he tends to bend the truth, lie, contradict himself, act shady. And then he mixes it up sometimes by throwing an unusual truth in here and there to catch us off guard.

That means either Kaka stays or Berlu is a bad liar.

or he wants to say that it was Ricky's decision afterwards

yea

So whats going to happen if Ricky tells them all to f*** off and hes staying. I doubt it will happen, but it would be interesting...lols

I think he will be staying and nobody will say anything... there will be a statement like: we never wanted to sell him and that's it...

do you really think he's going to real?

I will dance my heart out.

I'd be in my glee!

Yeah I think so. I would be so happy if he doesn't move, but I think its already done. Unless Kaka himself is hellbent on staying at Milan and rejects to even have talks with anyone over it, he'll leave.

he has said it every time there were talks about a transfer, that he wants to stay in milan. and so it is this time... perhabs i'm too optimistic about it but the last thing kaka said was, that he wants to stay at milan and that he won't talk about his future yet.
i hope that we will see the finial dicision tomorrow night, because i really want to know what kaka says now.
i really hope that he'll stay!

Kaka's Likely to leave and i hold the berlusconi family and silvio himself 110 percent responsible

Wish he would just sell the club _ richest man in italy hes the prime minister and doesnt spend anything _ i hate him

please just sell ac milan to some arabic guy who will splash the cash were in financial trouble so we need

sheik sulehmaan the 3rd or something

Ricky feels betrayed by mangement after they have twice put him on auction without him asking to leave, therefore I feel that he is definitely gone. The only way he could possibly stay is if he keeps these high demands on real, which is the sticking point at the moment hence the delay.

Silvio is Italy's 3rd richest man, Michelle Ferrero is Italy's richest man and also a Milan fan, he also wants to buy Milan.
Silvio is still a Milan fan, unfortunately his family are not and they are the ones pulling the strings.

Its alot more difficult than that. Right now its not even about whether or not he likes madrid or not. Its about Milan becoming competitive again. Its about milan rebuilding again.


Silvio is forcing him out the club in order to revive the club or try to revive to club. Someone must be sacrificed because right now we have 60 million euros of debt. Now Silvio will spend another 70 million or approx around that amount. If he doesn't sell Kaka, we will be in 130 million euro debt. That is dangerous for an italian club because our revenue is so poor compared to other clubs that debt is not something we can afford to have like liverpool or manchester.


Furthermore, he spent 8 million on kaka and will see a huge return on his investment. He spent 21 million on Ronaldinho and right now he can't even sell him for half of that. That is why he is keen on keeping Ronaldinho and having him improve next season and selling him after that as he slowly rebuilds our squad with younger players.

So we are being linked with all these superstar players, but I doubt any of them will arrive. At most we might sign Adebayor but that is because he is 25.


Right now we will buy young players. We'll buy young brazillians/urguayans/italians/french etc. So those who are hoping for fabregas and co. I doubt they will arrive.

I see your point...

Let's see what he says tomorrow. I didn't know that Milan is in so much dept.... I thougth someone posted that it's one of the clubs that don't have any dept....

We don't have that big of a debt but look at how many players we signed last season:


Viudez
Cardaccio
Ronaldinho
Zambrotta
Abbiati
Antonini
Thiago Silva
Flamini
Beckham
Borriello
Shevchenko
Senderos



Ronaldinho and zambrotta cost us 30 million together. Abbiati 3 million. Thiago silva 6 million. Borriello 9 million. Antonini 2 million. Viudez/cardaccio 5 millino.


That right there alone is 55 million. Plus sheva earned a wage of 75k and didn't do anything. Beckham earned a huge wage, flamini earned a huge wage. Wages we usually pay when we are in champions league and with the revenue we recieve from it, we could afford to pay these wages but we were in uefa cup and it really hurt us so silvio paid out of his own pocket.


Our income was 1/3 of what it was when we were in champions league. We didn't sell any of our best players so in order for us to afford all this and keep our debt reasonable would be to sign Ronaldinho, beckham and hold a big number of freindlies and use silvio's cheque book.


So you see, last year silvio did alot for the club when it counted and right now he is selling our most valued player for the betterment of the club. If pirlo was worth 65 million, he would have sold him instead.


He does care for the club, however personally I just wish he would sell it to someone who could afford to splash money every season.

yeah I got it ...


thanks
