Haha, once you cross the dark side, there's no return. That being said, never in my life did I watch at Milan a player (at Robinho's level) consistently missing chances after chances. 2 seasons is enough for me, and he gives me the feel that with more time passing he's getting even worse.

I've always been a fan of buying domestically, any DMs people like from Serie A teams? Aside from unrealistic targets of course.

Meh, he can go to hell. We don't need him.

I see where your coming from, but Im sure you noticed his workrate being very high. That, for me compensates a lot, seeing as Robinho has never had a profilic goal scoring season. Main reason Madrid sold him off in the first place.

All in all, I think if we need to sell players off, then Robinho should be the first to go considering how well off we are upfront.

Yes, but we can get a lot cheaper player (in terms of wages and the buying prize) who can deliver that one category. From a "star player" like Robinho one would expect more the "just" work-rate.

15 to 20m for him would be something we can't refuse. It's a great deal for a player like Robinho who's mastly all flair no product.

If we can consider 40m for Thiago than I would walk Robinho to Spain on my back for 20m

I'd ship off Robinho regardless of the price to be honest.

I would like for us to look at our youth now, starting with SES.

So is Nesta coming back? FI just posted something on him making a Uturn

I don't think SES is ready atm to take the spot of someone who played most of our games last season. Yes there's Cassano and Pato ahead of him but with Pato being Pato you can never say when we just might find ourselves in a critical situation.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't give him the chance, I'm just a bit worried about the pressure that would put on him should we find ourselves in a situation where he's the only starting option


I would love it if he cam back!

This is the only guys I wouldn't think twice about signing for another year. It would seriously take off a huge load off our management. They're just need to get a DM and CM and call it a day

and wat about LB?

I like it how we talk about players we've never actually seen play in superlatives; last year it was "sign Ganso", then it became "sign Eriksen" (I also participated), now it is Strootman. Well, Ganso turned out to be then big next nothing, while Eriksen so far disappointing me (doesn't necessarily mean he ain't good). I think we should widen the DM search.

Ganso turned out to be then big next nothing - explain...

Tbh I can't say definitively the Robinho has to go. This was a pretty miserable season for everyone other than Ibra and Silva. Everyone else has either been poor, average or inconsistent.

Robinho thrives on his being happy and momentum. This season and our genius coach with his legendary tactical decisions gave him neither

Kaka could return to Milan

There are surprise rumours that Ricky Kaka could return to Milan just three years after his €70m move to Real Madrid.

The Brazilian talent was sold to raise funds for the Rossoneri in June 2009, but has suffered from numerous injury problems, including knee surgery that kept him out for eight months.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Kaka is ready to break away from Real Madrid and negotiating to terminate his contract.

This could also suit the Spaniards, who have three more years on the deal worth €11m per season.

It is also reported that Kaka could come in to Milan as a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who’d be sold to Madrid in order to reunite with Jose Mourinho from their time together at Inter.

It would give Ibra the opportunity to test himself in La Liga without the tension he had at Barcelona with then-Coach Pep Guardiola.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is pleased that Milan decided not to sell Thiago Silva and confirmed he’ll stay, but urged the club to “bring in new players.”

The Rossoneri had been in advanced negotiations with PSG for a €47m move, but President Silvio Berlusconi pulled the plug at the last minute.

“Milan are a club who want to win and if they want to keep winning then they have to keep Thiago Silva,” Ibrahimovic told Fotbollskanalen.se.

“I hope soon they will also bring in new players, that the team plays better and that there aren’t so many injuries.

“I am angry, but that just fires up the desire in me to keep going forward,” he said after Sweden’s elimination from Euro 2012.

“I will respect my contract with Milan and right now am focused only on playing for pride against France.

“I feel even more motivated than usual, as defeats don’t make me think negatively. I am not retiring from international football. Who will win Euro 2012? I couldn’t care less...”

If Kaka comes he'll spend half of the season on the treatment table and the other half flopping just like Sheva 2008-09.

Still, I wouldn't say no if he came for free.

I was asked about Ganso earlier. Where is he now? No links with big clubs, not many good games for Brazil either. He may be good, but from what I've seen he surely isn't anything that special.

I doubt kaka will come, it'll be just like last year. BS BS BS until the end and then they'll panic buy.

Milan chief Silvio Berlusconi decided to keep Thiago Silva after reportedly reading an 18-page document produced by daughter Barbara on why he shouldn’t be sold.

The Diavolo were in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain to sell the Brazilian for over €40m, until Berlusconi blocked the sale.

According to Sport Mediaset, Barbara Berlusconi, who has been a board member at the club since April 2011, was opposed to the transfer.

She presented her father with a dossier which highlighted that letting the South American leave would damage the club in the long run.

Although the outfit’s finances would have been boosted by such a cash injection, she argued that his loss would disappoint fans and sponsors.

It may also have had a detrimental effect to the quality of the team which could then subsequently jeopardise future qualification for the Champions League.

Barbara Berlusconi is currently in a relationship with Rossoneri striker Alexandre Pato.

Barbara you beauty! I should have married you when I had the chance!

You go girl!

Ah... and she obviously also (indirectly) blocked the transfer of here cutie boy Pato.

Thiago Silva's transfer is rightfully blocked. His importance to Milan is immense. You can't say the same about Pato, who would have been a good choice to get money for.

Thing is: if he fails this season we're stuck with him. Who'd be crazy enough to invest much money for someone who's spent 2 seasons injured and off the pitch?

so KPB to real stuff going on with sahin and lass diarra swap deal.. apprently we rejected to proposal and want either cash or kaka (tuttosport). Gallaini said there is no KPB-real thing going at all and kaka is 100% not coming.

Genoa have acquired full ownership of Acerbi from Chievo, and are going to give him to us in a co-ownership deal.

Balzaretti met with Palermo's sporting director and refused to renew his contract, which expires in 2013. Apparently he has the desire to join us. At this point, Palermo have to treat his sale ASAP instead of losing him in the last days like they did with Nocerino.

If those deals go through, we'll have taken care of defense. But signing two midfielders (DM and creative) is an absolute priority.

Indeed. Yet, we won't be stronger then last year while Juve and Inter (?) will. We lost three WC players and a bunch of experienced veterans; in return we get...well...average players.

Three WC players? I count two, Nesta and Van Bommel. Who am I missing? We may not be stronger but it's still June. In my opinion, the thing that will make us stronger is health. There is no way we have so many injuries again next year.

I think the year of the Strasser is upon us. No more can our cash-strpped management sleep on field-ready prospects like Rodney...

I don't think he's ready to be honest.

I don't get it, why does Cassano seem so eager to move?
