Because it's misleading to post 'news' that comes from a glorified version of AIM instant messaging. And this particular thread is turning into a gossip column as it is.

As for the multiple posts in a row, it's something we can ALL try not to do quite so muhc. I know I'm guilty of it sometimes too but it does clutter the place up. So, please. If you've got 9 news items, make a really big monster post, not 9 posts. I'll try to do the same.

I'm about ready to scream due to the incessant pining for Dzeko. Why, you ask? Well, management finally gave in to the fans' demand that we sign Huntelaar. Twelve matches, zero goals and one disappearing act later, there's a reason why they get paid to pick the players and we don't.

I couldn't disagree more.

Firstly, 12 matches would be more than 1000 minutes. Huntelaar has not even played half of that amount.

Secondly, he got his chances when were having our worst days this season. no need to say that he hasn't been given any real chances since we've started playing better football!

And finally, have you forgotten about all those crap players the management got us, who did nothing but flop? what do you mean there's a reason why they get paid to pick the players and we don't ?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a die hard Hunter fan and I would gladly exchange him for a striker with a playing style that suits us. but I think he's being treated unfairly. almost all of us wanted Leo out too cause we thought he couldn't handle it, remember?

Also on the winter transfer thread, nowhere does it say it has to be reliable offical sources. I'm just posting anything regarding to milan and people can filter through it as they like. Sometimes even I filter through the source my self such as some of the stuff from goal.com



This place is a free press and it should be left as so. Who are we that we can say what is considered a reliable source or not. Anything goes and let the people decide. Power to the people!

When i was a Mod i thought the conditions of any news/transfer speculation should be quoted with credit to the news source or a direct link...football manager and twitter don't count as direct news sources so its gossip not bonified news sources hence no credit hence not posted

Well, sometimes people come here thinking that the transfer thread might be useful. In its current state, I don't think it is. It's my judgment and I'm free to make it.

And it's also my right to say that I think goal.com and twitter are useless sources and that anything posted from/linked from there isn't worth the effort of reading. Free speech works both ways.

AC Milan in Velez Sarsfield talks for Otamendi

AC Milan are keeping tabs on Velez Sarsfield defender Nicolas Otamendi.

Milan have already met with Otamendi's representatives and with the club, says calciomercato.com.

AC Milan are willing to offer £12 million for Otamendi, who doesn't carry an EU passport. A likely January deal is expected to see the youngster remain with Velez on-loan for the second-half of the season.

Goal.com World Player of the Week #9: NICOLAS OTAMENDI
Club: Velez Sarsfield
Age: 21
Role: Defender
Achievement: Starring for his club side en route to their Clausura champonship

Goal.com's ninth World Player of the Week award goes to a young defender with his hands on a trophy.

Nicolas Otamendi, still just 21, put in a star showing in the Clausura this season, culminating in a solid performance against Huracan in the title decider last week.

Since then admirers have flocked to him as he looks to take his career to the next level.

Speaking exclusively to Goal.com Latin America before that decisive match, the stopper was asked to comment on his future.

"I hope to continue playing at my current level, and with respect to the European sides looking at me, I try not to let it bother me.

"At this point I want to think about winning the title with Velez, and my agent will take care of the rest."

With the title now in his pocket, what will be next? Will he tread the well-worn path from Liniers to Europe, one walked by Carlos Bianchi, Mauricio Pellegrino, Diego Simeone and Mauro Zarate?

Time will tell, but for now he's already looking like a star in the making - and one who hasn't escaped the notice of national team boss Diego Maradona.

Congratulations to Nicolas Otamendi, our ninth Goal.com World Player of the Week!

Rumours are now circulating that Manchester United have entered the picture, and are closely monitoring the starlet. Milan and Juventus have also been linked with showing an interest in the Dane.

"Neither Manchester United, nor any other European club have asked for Kjaer," insisted the Rosanero president to Sky.

"The voices about his departure were started up by his agent, who is trying to earn some extra money."

Despite the assurances that Kjaer will not be leaving Sicily any time soon, Zamparini revealed the asking price for the defender, should anyone be interested.

"Our defender, in any case, costs €12 million, but in January, he is surely not going anywhere," Zamparini added.

am I the only who thinks 2m is still alot for dida?

We will have it hard against Ireland, Trap and his men have come out as a very tough team to beat. But I hope in the two legs, we can walk away with qualification.

Of all the youngsters we were chasing, this is the bloke on whom I could find most info. He's actually got a wiki page which runs into more than one paragraph!!

Also this link might be useful: The New Ayala?

Man when we move...we really move don't we?!

We're not going to spend £12m on a young CB! Why are we so heavily linked with CB's anyway? We already have Nesta and Silva, how are we going to satisfy another first team player?

I hope you both lose.

I don't see the point. If Bonera ever becomes fit again he's a more than capable backup, so bringing in somebody else will cause more problems than anything.

Excuse me?

Picking between wanting Ireland or France in the World Cup is like choosing between being punched in the face or kicked in the face. I'd rather have neither to be honest. No offense.

the bolded part is your opinion, if you ask around I'm sure quite alot of people enjoy the fact that they can get all transfer news regarding milan from one source.

on your second point:


fair enough, You can say anything about it you like but i'm still gonna post it.

Blue, you are not listing your sources once again. You told Tennie that you should have freedome to post whatever news you want here and I agree with you, but do not forget your sources. If people don't know where you're getting your news from they won't know whether its legit or just the usual garbage from goal/tribal and that will cause the usual histeria an mud slinging.

Listing the sources is not that hard or time consuming to do.

I don't want to be an @sshole to you or anyone else, but I will delete any news posts that don't have sources, because this issue is going to escalate and blow up into something that will split the forum. So if this is the step I need to take to stop it from happening, then I'll do it. Tennie always looks like the bad guy and fun killer because she's asking you to do something that is not fun or cool. So I'm not going to tell anyone nicely about sources I'll just delete posts, maybe that will finally do the trick.

I'm not telling you this through PM because everyone needs to know and has to follow this guideline, no one is picking on you or targeting you if that's what you're thinking

HSV want Huntelaar

According to a report in German newspaper Bild, Bundesliga outfit Hamburg have added their name to the list of admirers of Milan striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

The Dutch international has failed to make an impact at the Rossoneri since joining them from Real Madrid last summer. Huntelaar has yet to score his first Serie A goal.

The former Ajax hitman recently announced that he's eager to prove his worth at Milan and that he's not yet thinking about leaving the club. However, the Rossoneri are widely expected to offload the 26-year-old if a good offer comes in.

'The Hunter' has already been linked with clubs such as Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, and HSV have now joined that group.

The Rothosen are eager to add a new attacker to their squad in the upcoming transfer window due to the lengthy injury absences of strikers Paolo Guerrero and Mladen Petric.

HSV kept tabs on Huntelaar last summer, but a transfer never materialised due to Real Madrid's financial demands.

Bidding starts at 30 M for Fabiano.

"Luis Fabiano is a player - close to 30 years but is now experiencing the best period of his career, his money this summer has actually increased.

Just yesterday, Sevilla president Del Nido said that Luis Fabiano will start only at the cost of its break clause, or 30 million and I doubt that Milan can come to that, also there is the Chelsea player, ".

Sevilla Star Luis Fabiano Unconcerned About Transfer Rumours


Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano has played down the transfer rumours linking him with a move to England or Italy, where a number of Europe's elite clubs are believed to be keeping tabs on him.

The Brazilian has told the Italian media that a move does not interest him for the moment, as he is happy with his role in Manolo Jimenez's side.

"I'm honestly not thinking about the rumours that say I want to leave," he insisted to Itasportpress.

"I'm doing well here, I'm happy with Sevilla's season because my performances in the league and the Champions League have been positive so far.

"For now, my attentions are focused on Sevilla. In the future, if I can move to Italy or England, I will evaluate it in due course."

The 29-year-old has been in fine form for los Nervionenses so far this season, scoring ten goals in 13 games in all competitions. He was strongly linked with a move to Milan during the summer, although the Rossoneri eventually chose to buy Klaas-Jan Huntelaar instead of the Brazilian.

You have a right to think so. however, it can't be argued that World Cup will be a better tournament (technically speaking) with France rather than without it. they boast quality players and are as successful as England.

Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhh....you did it now!


Bring on the Rage of the Midlander!!

But, if that is what you say about us, I would really like to know what you have to say about Brazil and Italy?

Zeddie isn't like that. Had you said it, I'd know it was with the intent and purpose of getting a rise out of me.

Tennie was right. This thread is turning into a gossip rag with the clearly BS rumors popping up here as of late.

you thinkso too huh...


I have an idea. Should we turn this into an official news thread where if its not out of Galliani's mouth its not posted. Or should it be left the same...what do you guys think?

To be honest i think the amount of crap you post on here is close to be called spamming....same old story somene posts you post same thing..it's boring your not listening to what people ask you to do you have no respect for Mod's or other forum members and your close to turning this into "bluesummers.com"

with that and no offence meant to you a as person i'm sure your a nice guy you seemed obsessed, dunno wether you want to be a mod yourself or something but there seems to be a grand plan behind this constent posting of anything even remotely milan linked...sorry if his has offended you it just needed to be said

LOL!

none taken, no worries and thanks for you honest opinion.

going back to your points about a grand plan; No not at all. I just wanted more members to come here that is why I did this. There are many resources to get your news out there if your a milanfan. I just thought if we could gather up all the news in one place at a fast pace then we would attract more members because when I joined this forum was small and now its grown quite a bit. I just want our forum to be the best milan forum out there. That is my reasoning for this but like I said if this is hurting people than i'll stop.

Fair play i hoped this wouldn't turn into a arguement and glad it hasn't
i understand your motives now just think perhaps you could be a little more selective with the news sources anyways happy news hunting!!

haha no worries. I've actually talked with a few people and I've decided maybe its for the best If i don't post news anymore. It just spams clutters and creates too many arguements that we as members don't need. I'll leave the old post to others to take over


So what I posted on my last page will be the last time I post news everyone, I hope others continue doing so in a much better fashion than I was able to because I believe it brings people to milanfan forum.

people talk to you!?!?!?!!?
how come no one talks to me!?!?

lol!!!!!!!


cause I have leo in my picture and he's sexy

yeah but i have my boy and he's CUTE

AC Milan Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has declared: "I am very sorry that we have sold 16.000 season tickets less than last year; I want to write to all this fans that have not renewed and inform them that starting from the second part of the season we will sell a special ticket valid for ten games.

I am doing this not to earn some million euros but because it's too sad to see only 40.000 people for the game against Roma. Leonardo? Berlusconi is happy about how the team is playing. With 4 offensive players is normal to risk something, but we also create many chances to score.

Dida? It's funny to thik that some months ago I was considered the one that has wasted money to renew his contract, Huntelaar? He is confirmed as well as the rest of the team. If I would rather win the title by overtaking Inter and Juventus at the last game or obtaining the eighth Champions League?

No doubts about it, there are no sports where the Italian title is more important than the European one. Moratti? We are the club who has won the most in the whole world, we don't answer to anybody".
