Apparently Lavezzi's agent is in Madrid aswell.

I agree with you that Milan are not a selling club, I don't like the fact that Serie A could be losing 2 of it's best players this summer (Ibra, Kaka) it's really not good for the league in general.

But with that money generated from the sales a domino effect will happen, everyone though it was crazy of Juve to sell Zidane in his prime but at the end of the day they came out better for it, and selling Zidane while he was still at his best not like Kaka's situation where he's really become limited these past few seasons.

And last time I checked Milan along with Bayern are the only club that run on 0 debth. So the money generated from the Kaka deal will not go into balancing the book but into getting those 2 players I mentioned before.

And I don't think the fans will really come at the management if a deal that is beneficial to Milan happens .ie getting serious cash for him plus one of the buying team's best players

Nicely stated, han.

+1 cookie to the penguins.

that spokesman of kaka Diogo Kotschko said that deal is done and only official announcement is left it is on mediaset

[quoted from the transfer window thread]

I don't see why we have come to this conclusion. In my humble opinion, what's going on is that Galliani is in Madrid and Real have actually made the reported offer but did anyone expect them not to? It's silly to think that we have agreed so quickly anyway, if we're going to sell him we would negotiate at least for the sake of it, we would not just hand him over to the first offer.

On the other hand, Galliani did lie about his whereabouts and Kaka seemed frustrated when asked about his future this morning so... I don't know.

How much cleaner have I made things!??

Let's just wait and see people. Do NOT believe what's coming from Spain though.

<Panguins jump for joy>

But in all seriousness, Kaka really has done nothing these last 2 seasons that merit that price tag and it does not seem like he's ever going to be what he was before. I say sieze the opportunity now that its here, while its here, there won't be Chelsea and Real at the door next season with that ammount of money.

Sentimentality tells me to shut up that Kaka is a Milan player and should stay that way, I'm a big fan and I really love him for what he's done, but I love the club more and at the time being keeping him will do more harm then good. And regarding sentimentality and this club, that went out the window the moment Maldini was booed and the club took no action, so the moment Galliani starts talking about family and sentimental values I will more then laugh because its an absolute insult to both the players and the fans who actually care about these things.

Anothr thing, we desperately need money to rebuild the team, and we can say what we want about Silvio but the ammount of money we need in order to rebuild is rediculous, and something that Silvio just cannot come up with on his own anymore. We need a big cash income this summer and the easy way to get that is by selling Kaka, Top class CB, top class midfielder and a top class striker and a must for next season if we're actually going to try to do something worth while in the league and the CL

This guy has been saying that the deal is done for 3 years now, I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

I'll only believe this once it's officially announced

I agree with han too. it'd make me unbelievably sad to see Kaka go, but we could really benefit from the deal. after all, the club comes first not individuals. my only concern is that in case we sell Kaka, will the money be entirely used to rebuild the team?... that I doubt to be honest.

That is something that is plagueing the back of my mind. But we can't really expect them to sell that big of a player and leave the team as it is? The hole will be too huge.

With that said I'm still worried because this is exactly what they did after selling Sheva so I'm not so sure.

first thing should be that if we sell kaka we get some player in exchange aswell VDW, snidjer or robben atlest one of them (first 2 should be prefered) and then with the money we get from kaka sale and yoan gourcuff sale we but a top stiker and defender

That's why I said that!

We will definitely buy players but will we spend the entire money (plus Yoann's sale money)?! you know how many decent players could be bought? I would think at least 5.



Come on! I always found his name very difficult to spell, but spelling it like this.. that's hilarious!

If the kaka deal goes through, we have 80 million in the bank. Whether or not all of that will be used for the transfers remains to be seen. We better also get a madrid player out of this deal.


We could potentially have a 150 million transfer fund. 40 million from CL, and 30 from silvio.

i got this after tryign to spell it for quite long was very furustrated and just typed what came to my head

Throwing around money is easy, but you know all that caech will not go to transafers, there's wages to be payed, bills to be payed. It's not like paying FM and every cent you earn goes to the transfer kitty.

Selling Kaka will also remove a huge wage wieght off our shoulders.

No i agree but it should go to the transfer kitty. We need to rebuild.


If kaka goes, that wipes out 175k a week ,sheva goes that wipes out 75k a week. That is enough for 5-6 players.

i am going to sleep now, because nothing will be made official even if there was something to announce....

i just hope that kaka will stay for some time because he really wants to stay at milan..!

i understand everything you said about the money aspect and so on, but he is still an important player for milan although he has been injured this season.
next season he could even be better than this one. you'll never know how he'll play then. it's not said that he won't be good again just because he wasn't good this season/in the last games...

Paolo, Carlo, Ricky the same year....it's cruel....

Paolo, carlo, yoann, ricky.


I have a feeling the list will continue.

Agreed on that. But it's not always that simple.

Regarding wages, totally agree, also we need to start being shrewed with some players. (Miz don't hurt me) players like Dida who get big wages and are not starters because of their performances need to either accept pay cuts or go looking elsewhere.

Overly aged players like Favalli and Kalac imo should be let go.

Other players like Janku, Seedorf and Ambro need to be replaced by better players at this point. I'm not saying dump them to the curb (ok that was a lie, Seedorf should be dumped to the curb) but we really need to start realistically thinking of replacing these players

agreed. I have no problems with them staying either but they need to earn what they deserve. Seedorf does not deserve 77k.

you mean Seedorf doesn't deserve milan

No seedorf is a milan hero and legend. He is 33 almost so what do you expect. I would love him to stay here but stay as he deserves. 30k a week with the role of a bench player.

Carlo?

Nonsense....I said about 3 very important for Milan...Gourcuff only talanted young man, whose future may not be so great as most of supperts say.

haha

Still he is a milan player and he could have been very useful for us.

Agreed! +1

The latest RMD offer: 65 mln. + 2 players from this list - Sneijder e Robben, Gago, Guti, Drenthe, Pepe, Marcelo e M. Diarra.

It's getting even sillier now.

Apparently italian press has confirmed it now

I don't know what to think. it looks serious...

ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who, specifically, in the Italian press? Can you provide a link?

how reliable is sky again ?

Great..........

apparantly from the choice of players, its reported we want diarra and robben.

i don't know the words to truly express how livid i am right now

Great, we (apparently) dump Kaka and want a cripple in Robben in return.


Don't worry, I won't.

*plucks out one of Han's chest hairs*

Best get used to it I suppose. Pato next then?

how good are Robben/diarra?

Well what a surprise

So let him go the Chelsea or Madrid .. Most people claimed he should have been benched at most parts of the season, well who the hell would bench a player worth Eur 80MM !?

Just sell him and get it over with.

He is our icon R7. Its like selling maldini.

Sorry, but Kaka is nowhere near an icon as Maldini. If he hadn't peaked for 10 games in the '07 CL we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

how good are Robben/ Diara?

so let me break this transfer down for those who are a bit confused.

We will recieve 65 million euros and 2 players.

we will have the choice between sneijder or robben to pick.

Then we will have the choice of one of these players: Gago, Guti, Drenthe, Pepe, Marcelo or M. Diarra.

Kaka will recieve 12 million euros a year for 4 years.



Note: all based on rumors, no actual concrete evidence regarding any of this.

It doesn't matter, because they're not coming anyway and people are making mountains out of molehills from every little rumor as usual.

Bite your tongue!

3AM here. I'm off to bed. hope tomorrow we'll know how it's gonna end.

after maldini, he is our club symbol. Whether or not you agree with that, it doesn't change the fact that it is true.

00:15 KAKA': "OGGI NON PARLO"
"Oggi non parlo, non è il mio turno". Così Kakà dal raduno della Nazionale brasiliana. Poi il giocatore ha conversato a lungo con il suo portavoce Diogo Kotscho.

I try to translate...

Kaka: I'll not speak today. It's not mine time.
And then he speaked with his agent Diogo
