And your right. He might decline and go back to brazil. But if he stays I think the pre-season will determine whether Abbiati or Dida is our number 1. Roma is just s*** so he's not included.

He could be sold right away. I would jizz my self if he was. Comon Galliani don't be stupid, just sell him. Its okay; we'll survive with Favali and if were desperate, ambro can always go back there!

I'm just curious. Can we sell him now? Even if the European transfer window is open. In any case I don't know. Since selling him, makes no sense considering that we can't buy anyone and there are no great free agents available.

And his wage bill for half a year won't make a huge difference for us. But will the timing (now instead of summer) give us a better price?

We can sell any player at any time to anyone. What is restricted is the arrival of players. The russian transfer window is still open and allows the transfer of incoming players. The european window is closed therefore, clubs in england, spain and italy cannot have any incoming transfers. Thats how we are able to sign flamini, adiyiah and beckham when the window is closed. They just cannot enter the club until the window opens again.


Imo the timing is a huge factor. Come summer, his price tag might drop. But since CSKA is desperate for a defender and he's the only decent one available, therefore they are willing to splash the cash on him. If we don't sell him now, we'll get far less come summer.

15 million for him..then another 25(?) million for Dzeko and we haven't even addressed our box-to-box mids and our fullbacks.

I don't see this happening.

Neither do I. I'm going to guess we'll just sign Mancini for 3m on a co-own and be happy with it. The only way this will happen is that if we:

Trade hunt+janku+10m for Dzeko and offer Kaladze to them now for 8m but get a discount on krasic or something to maybe around 11m.

Don't know will we sign Dzeko ( Spoke with him last night ), Edin is pissed off with Milan approach cause they made personal agreement with player and his manager Redzepagic but didn't manage to communicate transfer with club when they should ( while we could buy him for 22 Mil € ) and now price is 40 Mil € ( Rubin Kazan sent the official offer for him ) but he don't want to go to Russia he only want to join Milan. Now big clubs are after him, Manchester United and Chelsea made contact with club and the player and he is unsure what will happend. He told me that he will always love Milan but it seams that his ambitions and Milan ambitions for the next seasons are different. Any way he will give Milan time until April 30.

Yeah..well I would too. It doesn't look like we're THAT interested in him...

Of course not! We have Borriello who is just the BEST ever!! /end sarcasm

Gosh, Dracoris, do you like any of Milan's Italian players?

This is for missing out on Jovanovic? Are you serious?


I doubt we're going to spend more than 20m in the summer. And I'm being optimistic.


Interested enough to spend 25m or more? I don't see why we would spend so much on a forward. Especially Dzeko. Seriously guys he is not THAT good.

Personally I would not spend any money at all on a forward. We need midfielders and fullbacks desperately I have no idea why we're looking at Dzeko.


It's not about Borriello. It's about a team that wants to win the c'ship with Antonini and Abate as fullbacks. We will get nowhere if we spend all that money on an attacker.

For the summer, I suspect Dzeko, a full-back and a midfielder. As for the lot that would be leaving; Huntelaar, Kaladze, Jankulovski, Favali.

The news of a new sponsorship deal starting at the end of this current season will most likely give us good backing in going into the summer transfer market. I'm not sure of a revolution amongst the ranks of the 1st team squad, but a decent bench would not be wrong to have

You honestly think anyone's going to pay that kind of coin for Kaladze?

I'd be surprised if anyone payed anything more than 1.5 million for him. honestly.

Dida doesn't want to return to Brazilian club football, though.

He'll either sign a cheapie 1-year extension or retire, but Milan have made no secrets about Abbiati being The Chosen One in goal come next season, so I'm hoping it's the latter.

Why's that?

Not sure, exactly. He's said in the past that he wants to end his career in Europe.

I think Borri is great! I just forsee that being Galliani's excuse for not getting a striker! haha

His value is bigger than that. Probably because not many people watch Milan games... or maybe they think he can play better than he does. If the Russians come for him his price can easily reach 5m.


When did that happen?

when dida took the field to play udinese...

exactly what I was thinking...

can we please get GKer a who doesn't concede week goals constantly? thank you

should have signed lloris when we had the chance too... stupid galliani.

And a CB, RB, LB, CM, AM and SS while we're at it...

of course but tbh we cant go any longer with such instability in goal.

all the world class sides have a great goalkeeper. the only side i see get away with an ok one is barcelona and valdes was actually quite good last year.

it's impossible to progress without ap roper one

Completely agree with you. I hope we go for Akinfeev. he's one of the very few potentially great but relatively cheap goalkeepers left in the market.

I think we have no decent full back player that can play in big games.
Mabye Zambrota and Antonini can play in Serie A, but not in CHL.
I think the only part of the team that is decent to play in high level games is Midfield.
We urgently need a CB (I like Mexes very much), RB (One good option could be Valon Behrami), LB (Armand Traore) and mabye a DMF (someone like Lorik Cana).
I know we dont have money for all these players , but if we sell some "not needed" players like Kaladze , Oddo and Jankulovski mabye we would be enable to transfer these players .
In Midfield we have great players ( my opinion ) and we can trust in them.
As wingers we have Adyiah , Pato , Ronaldinho , Mancini ( probably we he will stay with us in next season ) , D.Di Gennaro ( will come back from Livorono ).
In the center we have Borri , Hunter , Inzaghi in his last year of carier and Paloschi will return.
Berlusconi is not paying 40 mil. $ for Dzeko , that's sure.


I HOPE that Leonardo will leave us and we will get Prandelli , Mazzari or Spalleti. ( Italian coachs are the best , so we need an Italian).

Regrads

I have a good news, I just heard from e friend tha works in e tv station and they have some contacts from bosnia and they recived a news that edin xheko has agreed with milan and he is now a milan player the news is stil not spread but will soon be.

Dzeko reportedly (take that as you wish) already agreed with Milan some time ago. When it happened does not matter though, what we need is a deal with Wolfsburg.

After our deal with the Emirates I'm confident we will end up signing him. we'll see...

U might think I am crazy but I had a dream that we signed Torres. Like I said it before I am favorating Torres instead of Dzeko. I've read that rumors numerous times on the web about Torres being linked with us and that he might be joining us if Liverpool don't qualify for the CL next season. It could also be the reason why we are wating time about that Dzeko deal, we just want to see what will happen when the Premier league ends.


*My unrealistic dream signings for next season would be someting like that*
Torres
Vidic
Bale
Hernanes
Krasic
Frey

WHere on earth does that list come from?

http://www.footballpress.net/index.php?act...amp;idsel=49411

Wow...this list is remarkably bad. The author doesn't even know that Hiddink will coach Turkey. Plus, ManU won't sign any goalie as van der Sar just renewed his contract with them. Same for Bayern. Why should they sign Akinfeev when Butt just signed a contract extension?
Well...it's just rumours...

It's just a list of the biggest rumored transfers, that's all.

Just another rumor dirtsheet.

Anyone believe the nonsense about Leo possibly being canned at the end of the season? Football Italia quotes "the Italian media" in the article without naming any actual sources, of course.

I think the management will stick with Leo if we finish top 3. personally I'd like to see how he does with a slightly better team next season.

And a big NO to Lippi. I'd rather have someone like Spalletti or Mazzari/Gasperini. no more old-fashionism at Milan please.

well lets first see what happens with the management all those gallaini leaving stuff, silvio not being happy with mancini coming to milan and the emrites sponsor coming in i think there are chances of major changes let see what actully happens

Exactly my thoughts. I think the Emirates deal, especially, was a sign of things to come.

Leo has said he will stand aside if Milan want another coach. IMO he has been sh1t on from a great height, the main culprit being berlusconi. We should be getting rid of the senile old fool instead.

We were linked with Pastori but Zamparini "killed" Milans hopes for Pastori.

it's pastore, not pastori

and the guy is highly rated but he cant be that expensive after one good season in serie a

The only reason I believe we're linked is coz he's the Argentinean Kaka...and we're in the market for good youngsters...

I hope we somehow get Pastore so for once we call tell that crazy mafioso [aka Zamparini] to shut his mouth.

on the market for defender, midfielder or striker?

striker would be good, but Silva is the youngest defender and Nesta is my favorit
but some defenders would be good and midfielder

calciomercatonews,milannews and goal.com (the later 2 quoting calciomercatonews) are saying that some super agent is saying that dzeko will sign for milan after the WC... this has happend in the past let see how this one goes but imo i think we will sign dzeko bcoz he did reject all the offer ( again these are rumors) from other big clubs like chelsea or man u

http://calciomercatonews.com/dettaglioNews...ordPerPagina=10

of all the potential relegation teams that have some players we could get cheap, i think martinez of catania would be a fasntastic midfielder for us... also Curci for keeper!!!

In no particular order for next season: Dida, Marchetti and (meh) the fascist. And get rid of the F'n deadweight Roma.
