Coming from Silvio's current 'tarnished' image in Italy ... What better way to increase his popularity
Ganso would be our Berlu gift, Mexes would be free(?), and Marchetti would be cheap considering what he's doing at Cagliari right now. I'm guessing that Criscito will be coming as well.
Also, we will be freeing up quite a bit of salary space this summer thanks to free agency.

Hmm. This must mean the end of Sokratis then, since I don't see Bonera being sold out. He's our O Shea right. 
Pity. I would have sacrificed Mexes to get a fullback instead. Also Marchetti? When Amelia is already here? Perhaps Amelia requested to move.

Exactly, not just women, but general public itself say in Sicicly, Turin, the blue and black part of Milan.
It's not like everyone in Italy wants to support Berlusconi because he is finally transferring his hooker fund to buy players for our club. I think it's more the case of him not opening his wallet last few years to win the support of the public who are not Milan fans.And now when that has not worked as well as he had hoped, he goes: "Dash it all! I'll teach these no-gooders a lesson, and bring Milan to its former glories so my club can give your pathetic clubs a beating!" Either that, or it is revenge time against Leonardo, after what he did to his ego last season.
But most probably, it is the case of Milan saving money by not splashing needless cash these past few years, and now they want to go all out. This and the funds they got from the Emirates deal.

I would like to see Mexes partner Nesta at CB and Silva to move at RB. But I can't see it now, we've already tried him in a second position, I doubt we'll experiment more with him.
One wonders what Yepes has done wrong to warrant being third choice CB again..if this should happen. But at the same time, if we don't replace him and he does make a mistake all hell will break loose.

Yepes has been excellent so far but I would be concerned to have him play with Nesta; they're bot not that fast anymore, so it's better we have a Mexes and Thiago as partners for Yepes and Nesta.

What I stated was not a fact .. Just an assumption, based on the common consensus that Silvio bought and invested in Milan to mirror the image of a Grand Milan to himself .. In other words, Silvio bought Milan for political reasons, yadda yadda yadda.
So, in light of the recent investments that have been made, and the fact that Milan is not a profit generating business .. Nor does it have the capacity to invest any further ... I assume Silvio contributed to that for the exact same assumption stated above.

We're one of the richest clubs in the world, where do you think?
Ganso will be coming for a sum around the 20-25 million, I think. Mexes would come for free, and Marchetti will cost us only 5,5 million. As for the sidelines, there are plenty of names circulating around: Taiwo, Criscito, Bosingwa, Cissokho etc. I believe we'll have at least one quality fullback starting next season.
In other news, Pirlo might not get his contract renewed. Apparently he does not want to accept a substantial wage-cut, and considering Galliani's words recently ("It's one thing declaring your love in words, and one thing doing it in facts"), I'd say things are not looking good for Andy P.

Pity. I wanted Seedorf out, but Pirlo to stay.
Fingers crossed something works out between both parties!

As I said a few days ago when news about his injury broke and some were saying how we were going to be lost without him, I think he will head to Man City in the summer.
Loosing Pirlo would make things hard. Our midfield does not work properly without him, and playing everything on one card (Ganso), even if it is a prosperous card, can bring us in grave danger. Loosing Pirlo (and for free) would be a big step in the wrong direction, I hope Galliani knows that. There are not so many good midfielders out there to even try to do what Pirlo's been to our team.
As for Marchetti...I don't get it. We have 3 very good keepers. Marchetti in and Amelia out is pretty much irrelevant, considering that Abbiati is better then both.

This season.
Pirlo, Seedorf, Ringo, Ambro, Pippo, Nesta, and the list can grow long .. will all leave Milan between this summer and the next.
I believe it is a class gesture from Galliani to allow them to choose their respective fate, trying to pinch pennies from each of their respective sale is unethical, especially considering their accomplishments with Milan.
I am saddened by writing that ... But I 'think' am ready to accept it when the time comes around.

But it's painfull, isn't it?
Seedorf, Rino, Ambro, etc I can accept. Pirlo and Nesta? NO!
They still have a lot to offer this team, especially Pirlo who's not as old as the others. Letting him go now for an odd million when we've wasted so much in the past with needless renewals to players that did not give anything back is unacceptable imo.
Pirlo and Nesta need to be renewed imo. Ganso for me is still not a Pirlo replacement, he's the long awaited replacement to Kaka and the departing Seedorf. Pirlo is unique and cannot be replaced. We'de have to start playing in a completely different way, and while I do agree that at some point we will need to stop being so dependant on him, next season won't be the right time, especially considering all the changes the team will come under due to the revolving door of players that will be coming and going

The fact is, both us and Inter strongly want him, but Galliani moved much sooner and faster than Leonardo and Moratti. Ganso's comments don't mean nothing, he'll choose either side. It's about dealing with whomever holds his rights (Santos owns 45%, DIS owns 45% and the player holds 10%). Apparently, we've already reached an agreement with DIS (which is some Brazilian company), now we only have to reach an agreement with Santos.

Milan Back In For Manchester City Striker Mario Balotelli As Striker Search Widens - Report
Milan looking at Mario Balotelli again, as well as Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner...
Milan's shortcomings in the Champions League have sparked the search for strikers as Manchester City's Mario Balotelli comes into view for the summer.
Il Corriere dello Sport reports directors at the club are not impressed a team with Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic leading the line failed to beat Tottenham.
And they are already planning ahead for next season with Balotelli first on the list.
He has long been linked with Milan, but City boss Roberto Mancini said on Monday his player is "happy" at Eastlands.
Balotelli is viewed as an alternative to Ibrahimovic, who has often struggled in big games this term.
And with Mino Raiola acting as the agent of both strikers, a move could take off.
Arsenal hitman Nicklas Bendtner is also on the horizon. Robin van Persie's return to excellent form has seen chances limited for the Danish striker.
Milan are said to be on standby for him too should he reconsider his future at the Emirates.

Balo is 40956435076 times better then robinho. plus it would not suck to actually have a nutural CF. The trade off would be financial as well as to avoid a crowded attack
I personally think the best CF we can have is sticking Pato in front of the goal. No more second striker, support striker shtick. Ask him to slot in goals by the bundles, the kid's finishing is second to none. Maybe once his muscles are completely developed (around age 25), he can hone other skills and play at different position as a forward.
Then again, maybe not. I'd have a specialist pure striker than a jack of all trades who does jack half the time. Let us admit it, the constant position shifting and what not are hampering Pato's confidence.

I saw him play in Brazil's friendly against the US. He was good but the US looked really bad that night.
We're being linked with Mexes more and more as time passes. It would be a fantastic deal, signing the best French defender for free. If I were Galliani, I'd also give a wink to Bosingwa and Taiwo, considering their contracts with their respective clubs terminate at the end of the season. It'd be amazing if we could sign all three without spending a penny.

Milan To Use Alexandre Pato To Lure Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos To San Siro - Report
Milan will use Pato as part of a swap deal in the summer to bring Sergio Ramos to San Siro in the summer.
Rumours of unrest between Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho and defender Sergio Ramos continue to fuel speculation that the Spanish international could be on his way to Milan, with striker Alexandre Pato going the other way.
In recent times the compatibility of the 21-year-old Brazilian and Zlatan Ibrahimovic operating in the same front three alongside Robinho or Antonio Cassano has come into question, with many believing their similar styles leave the Rossoneri with a lack of creativity.
Corriere dello Sport have today reported that under-fire los Blancos striker Karim Benzema will be out of the Santiago Bernabeu door come the summer, meaning Pato's diminished status at Milan could pave the way for a swap deal with the 24-year-old versatile Spaniard to satisfy both clubs' needs.

Milan Set To Sign Roma Defender Philippe Mexes - Report
Milan are reportedly on the verge of signing Philippe Mexes from Roma.
According to a report in L'Equipe, Serie A table toppers Milan are on the verge of completing the transfer of highly rated France international Philippe Mexes from fellow Italian side Roma on a Bosman free transfer.
The Rossoneri currently have only two centre-backs who have proven top class - Alessandro Nesta and Thiago Silva - and are therefore eager to add another high profile name to their back-line.
The 28-year-old Mexes started his professional career with Auxerre and joined Roma in the summer of 2004. He has since made well over 150 official appearances for the Giallorossi.
However, Mexes has an expiring contract with Roma and the two parties have so far been unable to reach an agreement about a new deal. Therefore, the experienced defender could be on his way out of the Lupi at the end of the season.
The report reads that Milan have already agreed terms with Mexes and that it's only a matter of time before the centre-back inks a long-term deal with i Diavoli. However, Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has played down the rumours linking Milan with Mexes.
"We haven't agreed terms with Philippe Mexes. We don't want to interfere in the negotiations between the player and Roma, a club with which we have a good relationship. Obviously, we'd be interested in signing him if Mexes decides not to sign a new deal with Roma," commented Galliani.

I Don't Know Anything About Federico Marchetti Going To Milan - Cagliari President Massimo Cellino
Cagliari president Massimo Cellino has downplayed the rumours linking goalie Federico Marchetti to Milan.
Cagliari president Massimo Cellino has made it clear that he doesn't know anything about the alleged interest of Serie A giants Milan in out of favour shot stopper Federico Marchetti.
A number of recent reports suggested that the Rossoneri are considering making a move for the Italy international in the summer transfer window as they're looking for a replacement for current first choice goalie Christian Abbiati.
"Could Marchetti join Milan? I know that there have been some rumours. However, I don't know anything about a possible transfer," Cellino was quoted as saying by Corriere dello Sport.
"Milan CEO [Adriano] Galliani is a friend of mine and he hasn't told me anything about wanting to sign Marchetti."
The 28-year-old Marchetti represented Italy at the 2010 World Cup, but was dropped from the first team at Cagliari when he tried to force his way out of the club to join a bigger team. He hasn't made a single league appearances this term.

The South American was quoted on Wednesday as suggesting that he will be playing in Milan next season – either with the Rossoneri or Inter.
However, the player’s entourage have released a statement denying that the youngster’s future is already sorted out.
“Even today there have been false reports in the media regarding an eventual agreement with Milan,” it read.
“The only negotiations taking place right now are with Santos in regard to a contract extension until 2015.”

Thanks for posting these news bits, anano1214. 
We miss these on Milanfan.com, the news section here is practically a ghost town. And yes, I'd love Mexes as a CB here, my Roma-fan friends rate him quite highly, and at the same time think that he won't be leaving the capital-city club anytime soon.

All those denials sound like confirmations to me.
I'd do it in a heartbeat, I know many on here who wouldn't.
We're look pretty good in terms of attack for the next few years at least whilst full back is a major problem.

I agree. Thing is, Milan could much easier sign a new quality striker then a quality fullback, which Ramos sure is. Mourinho will get Maicon, and he isn't so fond of Ramos, so I wouldn't regard the rumour total BS.
if there's one thing I agree with Mourinho on is that Ramos is not a top level quality fullback. so, as a fullback he's not worth Pato in exchange and no CB is good enough to give up Pato either.
So clearly no from me. It sounds unrealistic too.
