Galliani faces Milan anger
Tuesday 4 August, 2009

The tension is rising at Milan, as a planned transfer summit with President Silvio Berlusconi was delayed and fans insulted Adriano Galliani in the street.

Rossoneri supporters are angry that the £56m from Kaka’s sale to Real Madrid has not been reinvested and Andrea Pirlo is also ready for a move to Chelsea.

A meeting was set for this afternoon with Coach Leonardo, but President Berlusconi pulled out at the last minute and rescheduled for tomorrow.

It was a bad day all round for Vice-President Galliani, as he was verbally attacked in the street outside the club headquarters by a furious fan.

Galliani has been under police escort since the Kaka transfer following threats from angry ultras.

At least there is one figure showing some confidence in Milan, as disgraced former Juventus director general Luciano Moggi believes there will be changes.

“Inter and Juventus are obviously at the top, but it is impossible that Berlusconi would leave Milan out of not only the European leadership places, but also in Italy,” he told Radio Kiss Kiss.

Official: Liverpool Agree Deal To Take Xabi Alonso To Real Madrid

Official:

Milan are still yet to sign anyone...

thankyou for that i dont have to go through everything else now i was hoping that we would have singned someone by now but it seems we will further sell first

and the metting between gallaini, leo ,and silvio is that today ?

i would pee my pants if we signed fabrigas...all though, like everyone else, i find it very unlikely.

not that milan want him...but that arsenal will sell him.

according to some tuttsport article there is some agreement check the link

Alonso to Madrid is complete.

I don't like him, but glad he went. After the disgraceful way Liverpool handled themself in the Barry saga last year, basically trying to throw Alonso out of the club, I'm glad hes gone, for himself. Madrid may not be classy, but they're not Liverpool either.

As Tennie's mentioned before a couple times, Tuttosport suck [not Locke's] donkey balls when it comes to Milan related news. I think they're trying to humiliate us by making up this fantasy stuff!

correct.

it gets even better too,

someone translate this please.

Update: The sun (UK newspaper) is now saying 35M for fabregas is legit


I still think its bullcrap, but who knows. Silvio is extremely rich so if he wanted someone that would not be a question.

Update: Fio agree fee for di silvestri, 8m sigh....

So the meeting is schedules for today at 12:00PM. We'll see what happens.

Tuttosport, the Sun... says it all


DAMN DAMN DAMN

Short version: Silvio's thinking about signing Fabregas to placate angry fans. It's repeating the Tuttosport stuff.

I think if Liverpool stay with Leiva and don't sign someone to replace Alonso they will sink painfully. After Christiana's departure I thought this would be Liverpool's year but now I don't anymore, it's probably going to be Utd again unless they lose it themselves... I mean they'll be fighting it with Carletto's team... then you will see that you were wrong about Alonso. Of course you won't admit it because you're too arrogant but you will see it!

I don't see any official confirmation that Fiorentina and De Silvestri have agreed terms, etc (ie, nothing official yet).

As for today, Mediaset's running a special page with updates on what's going on with Berlusconi and the meeting with Leonardo and Galliani (link).

They seem to think the following:
* Pirlo might leave
* There's repetition of the Fabregas rumor
* There's talk of maybe thinking about D'Agostino instead
* Huntelaar and Fabiano are the strikers under consideration
* With De Silvestri being linked to Fiorentina, there's talk of Spurs' Gareth Bale

BALE! OH NO

D'Agostino instead of... Fabregas? I think they offer very different qualities.


Thanks for the link.

How do they do that, is the place wired or something? Will smoke come out of the room when they agree?

From the ticker on acmilan.com's italian page:



["Andrea Pirlo is officially off the market and will stay with us. We received important offers but he will stay at Milan. This was the principal request of our coach Leonardo and Andrea remains our central midfielder," stated Berlusconi at Milanello.]



[Berlusconi again: "The club has given a mandate to doctor Galliani, putting funds at his disposition, to acquire a an important goalscorer on the market. The names are known and we're working with doctor Galliani on this front. Next season we'll have a lot of important commitments."]

so pirlo is to remain nad funds are avaialble for a stker that is what silvio announced

the stiker will be fabiano mostlikly

I'm waiting for the famous "keeping player X is like buying a new player" line. glad he stays. I just hope that doesn't mean we now don't have any money to buy one or two top players...

puke

Fishdoll is disappointed you didn't use a creative puke icon, zeddie.

Well, the reason is Fabiano...

btw what kind of doctor is gallaini??

That's exactly what I wanted to ask 5 minutes ago! anyone knows?

he's got ph.d in sociology, I believe.

EDIT: Nope, not sociology. Surveying/geology.

just an observation silvio said that funds have been available for a goalscorer on the market neither dzeko nor fabiano are on the the market only huntleaar is someone who is up for sale

A striker is clearly not enough, even if Pirlo stays we need another mid and a LB

soemthing is better than nothing

I'm not sure about Fabiano being off the market. I have a strong feeling Sevilla are ready to sell him for the right price

Yeah me to, but he is too expensive for a 29 yr old tho. I would rather buy Hunterlaar who is much younger then him, then next summer or in January we could get Dzeko. We would have a much better and younger attacking trio.
And what happened to buying players under 23 yr old?? That is one of the reason I think that Fabregas thing might have some truth behind it, at least I hope there is

ahhhh any latest news on the lazio duo _ they seem really promising

esp considering the fact de silvestri is only 21 and has experience

ledesma is good too

i've been following de silvestri (rossi as well) for a few years now, would be a dream signing if we got him/them.

he's not a world beater (yet) but i think he's a nifty player and has immense potential.

ledesma was imo a possible replacemnet for pirlo and de silvistre is more claose to voila according to mediaset ( they linked us with bale )

is Bale even good _ he is a welsh international but thats not really hard is it

Pirlo: "We already know who the attacker is coming"

Andrea Pirlo -. Having expressed his happiness for his confirmation to Milan, Andrea Pirlo has made an important revelation in the market for rossoneri declaring:''The company 'buy' a big striker, who we know 'but we can not say - said laughing - On August 17 there will be 'the Luigi Berlusconi Trophy, expect many people to start with the new season''.

Source: Milannews.it

and according to TMW it is hunter

Liverpool have agreed a fee for Aquilani accord to SSN.

I would be happy if it is Hunterlaar

TMW is saying that the deal's pretty much already done.

Are mediaset saying anything about him?

Didn't see anything yet other than the Pirlo quote.

hopefully huntelaar is snapped up in the next few days if not tomorow

aquilani - should be intresting how he fares in the premiership

Drogba signed a new deal with Chelsea. We haven't been linked with him much this summer, and now he's certainly off the list. Thank God.

EXCLUSIVE TMW - Milan, Huntelaar is the tip coming

Will Klaas-Jan Huntelaar the attacker of Milan for next season: according to rumors collected by Tuttomercatoweb, was chosen in the Netherlands summit Galliani-Berlusconi-Leonardo held today at Milanello. Won the competition from Luis Fabiano, age considered too old for the project in the next few hours Adriano Galliani finalizzerà Huntelaar the affair with his friend Florentino Perez, but it seems that the negotiation is already almost closed.

I think he'll flop big time. We'll see. Also, why do they consider him to be an Alonso replacement, have they even seen him play?
