Well I don't know if you remember but Pato was out injured for 3 months. Without Ronnie in those 3 months, we might have been in the Europa League again. Sorry, I just can't agree with you here. Ronaldinho was too vital a player for us this year. The only reason I can see him doing worse next year would be because Leo is gone. Stats don't lie and I'm sorry but he was our best player this year. He played in more games than everyone else, Tied second in scoring, led the team and Serie A in assists, and led the Serie A in possible assists. Assists are as good as goals b/c without them there is no goal, thats why its given its own stat. So to say we don't need his assists to win is like saying we don't need goals to win, which is just not true.

Now, all that being said, he accomplished all of this year because of Leo's ability to motivate him and his desire to be in the World Cup. So perhaps he won't be able to repeat a performance like that. In this case, I could understand selling him, but how are we to know his performance will drop?

Yeah I know that Pato didn't play for 3 months but you should watch those matches when Pato played on the left instead of Ronaldinho, he was perfect (the match Milan-Sampdoria especially).

Also Bayern - Milan (pre season match, last year)

Wash your mouth out with soapy water immediately.

Ronaldinho should be sold for two reasons: he's inconsistent and the whole team depends on him. The guys has glimpses of genius every now and then, but for most of the time he's asleep on field. Such inconsistency damages the squad a lot. The same thing could be said when we had Kakà, but Kakà was a monster that made the whole team move around. He didn't just receive the ball with everyone hoping he'd deliver an assist or a through pass. Ronaldinho is that kind of player. He's lazy, demotivated, getting old, a younger version of Seedorf that is. Yes, he was one of our best players this season, but just looking at the numbers won't solve our problems.

Well, Mediaset seems to think Dzeko to City is a done deal. They're reporting that Wolfsburg is now going to buy Huntelaar for 15 million. link

Tuttomercatoweb quotes a Gazzetta article that says Fester will be talking with Madrid about Drenthe and Gago. link

There are also various quotes in tuttomercatoweb about how Milan should sign this or that person from agents, etc.

So why them didn't accept our offer , Huntear + cash ? :confused:

IMO, We will sell Hunter to City and with that amount of money + cash we will buy Dzeko.

Thing is, unless I'm reading the Italian incorrectly, Dzeko is no longer an option - he has signed for City.

That's not official and will not be.

Sportmediaset seem pretty certain about it, no point in keeping our hopes up anymore.

Berlusconi must have a really good reason for not signing Edin. Something like , Ibrahimovic is new AC Milan player.

Keep dreaming friend, I wish I could join you.

According to La Gazzetta, Dzeko called Milan before joining ManCity asking for our consensus. Can you even imagine how much this guy wanted us and we let him slip away? Now I'm seriously pissed at Berlusconi & co.

You would play Inzaghi before Ibrahimovic ? Give me a break.

Ronaldinho is finished man. He had done only those assists and some goals, nothing else.

And you would take Ibrahimovic before Dzeko? Come on.

That's absolutely not true. he danced some Samba, too

Missing out on Dzeko was the worst news I've heard all day. ****.

Dzeko is out anyway ?

Ibrahimovic is the first striker I would sign, together with Drogba. We need a striker like them.

EDIT : Zed.D , LOL

But what if we could chose between Dzeko and Ibra, who would you take first?

If we would have infinit budget, of course I'd choose Ibrahimovic.

Well this blows, but it gives a much needed slap in the face to some who were already dreaming about a Dzeko-Krasic pairing while dismissing our best attacking performers from last season.

Fact is there is no blockbuster buy for us, not now, and not ever unless Silvio sells up. He is not going to spend money on transfers, from the jist of what he keeps saying, he's only putting in cash to keep us above the red every year nothing more nothing less.

So lets just be happy that we actually have some class players in the squad and pray that we don't lose them not want to throw them out like yesterday's left overs...

t. silva and pato?

Edited that post, Pato and Thiago are 2 of the players that could get us good money, money that would never go into rebuilding but into relieving Silvio of clearing our depths from his own pockets, just like he did with the Kaka money

OMG, that's the most stupid thing I've ever heard. How could you take a finished player before someone who is exploding?

As i hear about the massive debt Barca, Real, Inter, Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea have amassed, i kind of like the fact we are 10-15M away from being debt free

A 28 years old player is not a finished player. Dzeko is still not a champion and I wouldn't risk +40 on him to be honest.

But he isn't in form now and he's getting old, Dzeko is young talent and he has more to do.

But what if we could chose between Dzeko and Ibra, who would you take first?

per milannews.it Galliani has said that if a champion becomes available, we'll invest. Thats what I gathered, but I used google translate so who knows what exactly was said.

Is Dzeko not an available great champion? COME ON!

(P.S. For those who say he's not a champion, he's won the bundesliga as well as lead the scoring charts a few times. Champion.)

And with "if a champion becomes available, we'll invest" he meant "As soon as a average player ends his contract we will sign him for free".

Ibra will never come, just forget about it.

At this point, I think it'd be best if we set aside the idea of big spenditures for good and concentrate on aquring a few decent players in every position. Otamendi and Aogo in defense, Moussa Sissoko and/or Lazzari in midfield, and probably Nenê in attack.

Like mtl said, we don't have that horrible of a first line-up, it's the substitutes what we essentially lack. If we get rid of garbage like Oddo, Kaladze, Jankulovski etc. and sign the players I mentioned above, we should be good at least for another season (good meaning getting in the league top 3 and passing the CL group stage).
