Well I don't as money was wasted to get them back and they weren't all that great to begin with. And they were still already our players so thy don't count

So so far it 0 out of the 6/7 you're betting we'll get. I'm winning...

i agree with blue on this one and i think the cf will be luis fabiano i hope

Personally I'm still shocked that no mention of Cruz and Owen has been made, seeing as they're free and all...

I thought Galliani would pounce on them

I really wouldn't mind Cruz to be honest.

How cool would it be if no one bought from Madrid now!?? They would be left with all those players and a big debt... of course the Spanish government would again run to their rescue in the end but it'd be fun for a while...

from milannews.it



hope this news is true

What's being said exactly, I get that he recieved a call from the Ajax coach but is he concidering leaving :praying:

keep pirlo and release seedorf, please

Owen? Another all time injured striker.

But I like Huntelaar and/or Fabiano.specially Huntelaar,he can be another RVN.

How do you not count them? yes they were at one point our players but last season they were not on our team and had no effect in which place our team recieved on the table so I don't see how you don't count them.


So far:

Abate
Silva
Gennaro
2 school kids


that is 5/(7-8) but hey you know what i'll take out those 2 prim kids since they won't really play all that much.


3/7-8. Its july 2 This is gonna be fan hanny

LOL!

Milan are preparing a £13m bid for Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano after No 1 transfer target Edin Dzeko decided to stay with Wolfsburg.

The Rossoneri are in the market for a target man who is capable of playing at the heart of their attack, flanked by Alexandre Pato and Ronaldinho.

Like Dzeko, Fabiano has a contract until 2011. The 28-year-old who shone at the Confederations Cup earns around £1.5m a season.

Inserted into his current deal is a buyout clause, which La Gazzetta dello Sport understands to be worth £51m.

Milan feel that price is unrepresentative of the economic times in which we now live, so they are prepare to offer just £13m.

However, Sevilla are said to be holding out for another £10m, which could once again force Milan to turn their attention elsewhere.

Other names under consideration are the likes Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Emmanuel Adebayor.
I like this guy lots...Real are willing to sell lacks pace but can pick a pass not sure if he would be good up top on his own more off a front man..still class tho

Galliani is gotta get realistic. If he wants players of fabiano's calibre, he'll need to show them some money. 18 million isn't going to get you sh*t. I think we should just take hunty on loan and if he does good we can pay 18 mil for and keep him or we should pay sevilla 25 million plus kaladze, done deal.

A season on the sidelines will change his mind.

Just sign him already carlo. Pay us 30 please and you can have him.

Silva was bought last season, so technically he is not new, we're talking about players bought in this transfer windown, Silva is not one of them.

And no Di Gennaro and Abate don't count. They were our players before, just because they were co-owned by another team does not mean we didn't own them, plus they will most probably not make any influence what-so-ever as I don't think they're good enough for the first team.

I'm talking about wrth while signings here that will actually make a difference to the team, Abate and Di Gennaro were not part of the team last season but do you really see them improving our team, their signings to me were greeted with a "meh wasting time and money, bring our own players back from co-ownership. Whatever, this does not help us in anyway and we're really wasting time and money on these deals instead of buying players that will actually help the team next season"

With that said, in my book, so far its 0 signings out of the 7 you're betting on. See, stilling winning


They'd never accept just 13m for him. I think we could get Huntelaar for 13m, who is younger and we have first dibs on because of the Kaka sale

lol I dont think so my friend. Do you have any idea how much he gets paid with us There is no way in hell ajax can afford to compete with the wages he gets here thats why he won't move even for playing time Greedy greedy clarence.

Okay if you don't count abate and genaro, I'll reduce it then.


We will sign 3 "good***" players this campaign.




**good= han's defenition of worthy players

Hopefully Leo is smart enough to do it


The words The Sun in that article just diminished its reliability for me by 100%

yeah but the quote is from the Sun newspaper ..not to trustworthy as Carlo hasn't even arrived in England yet to meet the squad and to be honest i really don't think Pirlo would suit the EPL at all...it's way to quick for him

No no. Don't try to play any evil mind games blue. I'm not Jack, so I won't fall for them because I'm high on the rum.

By saying you bet that we'll sign 3 good players you're still counting the worthless co-ownership deals we bought back off clubs for 3 times the money. (If that's not bad business btw, I don't know what is )

You said 7, be a man an stick to it

Pirlo would be like the chipmunk with a busted knee in the middle of an elephant stampeed in the EPL. I just cannot imagine him playing there.

Plus the only person Carlo has talked about related to Milan is Paolo, he made that public himself. If he wanted any of his old players I think he would have dropped hints already.

I just think that the English media are desperate for a big signing and they're making way too much out of this whole Carlo going after his old players. Its starting to get real old real quick.

Tomorrow he'll be interested in Pato again and the day after that it will be Pirlo again...

no 3 without including youth and co=owns. I'm talking fabiano level signings. 3 of them.


But what i originally meant is that we'll see 7-8 new faces for milan next season with 6 of them already announced. 3 senior players and 3 youth.

Youth shouldn't count to begin with.

So you're trying to play mind games with me. Your bet is still basically the same, instead of saying 4 out of those 7 have already been made you reduced the number while still counting Di Gennaro, etc on default...

Personally I'm thinking 2 signings will happen, and this is me being optimistic

I got skills baby Jose taught me well haha

Milan bid for Fabiano

La Gazzetta dello Sport understands Milan have made an official offer for Sevilla and Brazil international striker Luis Fabiano.

The Rossoneri are in the market for a target man and had focused their efforts on signing Wolfsburg's Edin Dzeko, who turned them down earlier this week.

Milan have since turned their attention to Fabiano, who is coming off the back of an excellent Confederations Cup in which he scored five goals.

According to La Gazzetta, Milan have offered £12m for the 28-year-old former Sao Paulo and Porto player, who has scored 22 goals in 31 appearances for Brazil.

Fabiano has one year left on his current contract, which contains a £51m buyout clause.

Milan are not expected to exercise that option, although few expect Sevilla to accept their initial offer.

Having said that, Fabiano has expressed his desire to move to San Siro and a deal could apparently be done for £17m.

Yesterday evening, Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani reportedly met Fabiano's agent in Basel to discuss the offer.

If the Rossoneri fail in their attempt to sign Fabiano, they will look at either Klaas-Jan Huntelaar or Emmanuel Adebayor.

Milan have been strongly linked with Adebayor over the last year, but were scared off by his wage demands.

i hope it is one of hunter or fabiano. Huntleaar is younger while fabiono is well proven on top level and both of these save us a noneu spot as well

BREAKING NEWS: Milan Have Plenty Of Time To Sign A Striker - Adriano Galliani
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed the club will sign a striker, but there is no rush.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is staying cool as the transfer market begins to heat up by claiming the club has time to bring in a top-class hitman.

Galliani has been keeping his eyes firmly locked on Luis Fabiano after the chase for Wolfsburg star Edin Dzeko fizzled out. Reports claimed he was set to travel to Seville for high-powered talks with Sevilla for Fabiano. However, the chief was in Milan this afternoon wining and dining with transfer consultant Ernesto Bronzetti and he spared a moment to give an update on his transfer plans.

"We will go to pre-season without a new striker, but someone will arrive. There is still plenty of time as the transfer market is very long," Galliani told Sky Sport Italia when asked about the progress regarding his striker search.

The chief was in no mood to speak with his mouth full, but he did hint that he is still on the watch for Porto defender Aly Cissokho, despite the plug being pulled on the move.

"The transfer talks for Cissokho is still on standby," concluded the chief.

Although Galliani stayed quiet over which striker would come in, Sky Sport Italia are speculating that Fabiano is the favourite as Bronzetti has big links to Spanish football.

ok it originated on calciomercato where it says that gallaini made no comment on fabiono when asked

goal.com

I do not like Fabiano very much, not his game and certainly not his attitude but he's a good player nonetheless so I would not complain. I think Huntelaar is a much better case though, he's younger and he's hungrier and I think we can get him for less. Plus he's Dutch which I also count as a positive quality.

Do you count that in Seedorf?

It's the only thing I still like about him.

As things stand, it seems as though there is a 180-degree change happening at the club.

Issues such as the squad and coach are recognized as questionable up till now. With Carlo Ancelotti, the whole squad seemed to be at ease and there was a sense of serenity and balance. While the squad, although in recent years proved uncompetitive to an extent, still it consisted of names & players who on any day can make the difference.

Today, and considering what I have been reading throughout Milanfan forum, I sense a certain frustration directed at the senior management for the way things are being dealt with. This, and considering there has yet to be any advancement in the transfer market, I think it is fair to conclude that there is some turbulence in the manner at which the club is being run.

The sad reality of things is that Serie A is not what it used to be years ago. As per reports I have read, pertaining to the eligibility of four teams making it into the Champions League, only three will be allowed from Italy if German teams make ground against Italian teams in terms of UEFA coefficient. Breakdown as follows:

UEFA coefficient for the top four positions in each league to qualify for the Champions League 09/10 stand at: - England @ 79.5, Spain @ 74.3, and Italy @ 62.9.

UEFA coefficient for the top three positions in each league to qualify for the Champions League 09/10 stand at: - Germany @ 56.7, France @ 50.2, and Russia @ 47.6.

Notable to highlight that Italy’s position at the end of last season was unchanged at 3rd place, while Germany moved up from 5th place to 4th, surpassing France. Hence Italy face a major risk of losing further ground, considering the distance between Italy with regards to Spain and England is in plain terms ‘miles apart’.

In summary, the changes that we are awaiting from our club coupled with the devaluation of Italy in UEFA could show the bigger picture of the fate of Italian football’s status in Europe.

Already stated my case for Hunterlaar....i know it's a bit of a controversial subject on here..but i just don't fancy another Brazilian in the team..i feel it's a possibility it could cause problems with team identity.

As expected Sevilla have rejected our bid for Luis Fabiano. However, reports also mentioned they are willing to negotiate a deal. How much do you think Milan should offer for Fabiano?

20m tops

channel4.co.uk

EXACTLY.


Seedorf was born in South America so he's not exactly Dutch!


It was obvious that they'd reject 14m. it was a joke of a bid really...

Delighted at galliani hopefully flying over tommorow and hopefully signing huntelaar on a permenant or at least a loan basis _

the bicycle king im gonna sleep _ fingers crossed and maybe sign him on fifa 09 lol

Madrid - Pass the Dutchie!

...

no way lol! They won't even budge for our level of bidding. Their minimum is 20 million starting

He's not worth more. He's 28 years old

I know but the market is flucuated like crazy. If adebayor is worth 25 million then fabiano is def worthy of 25 mil.

It's Google's translation of a Mediset article. not accurate but understandable.

http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n...history_state0=

They seem to think we will try to buy Fabiano and take the Hunter on a loan deal. I think that'd be great! they also think we could sell Borriello on a co-ownership deal, AGAIN!!

if we get these 2 stikers with pato it will be and gr8 strike partnership and other player linked us with is cska zhirov who imo will be another good signing

Hope we get Huntelaar on loan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha what the ****!?!?


Zhirkov!?? He's very good! Now that would be sweet.

Anyone else hates this loan deal for Huntelaar? This is so not something a big club does.

... but we'll sign no one.
