If it would allow him to play injury free for a year I'd let Pato go to Brasil until August.

You wanted him in January right?

You've probably read the news about his bold declarations that he only needed '2 weeks' in training to be back to his best...and how one match with the reserves and the club decided he's nowhere close to being fit for premier league football.

For me there's a big difference between a bad boy who's just over-passionate about his game like Cassano, Rino or even Ibra vs. someone who thinks he is above his manager's decisions and knows best when he needs to do what.

Inzaghi is being treated like **** when told to warm up with 10 minutes left in the game. But before he is a 'champion' he is a professional. He suits up and does as his coach requires.

I cannot tolerate a professional not listening to his coach, no matter how bad the coach is.

You're all exaggerating on this Tevez thing IMO. Everyone would want a champion like him in their team. So he has a little of an attitude problem. So did Boateng, Robinho, Ibrahimovic, Cassano etc. when they joined us, yet I don't remember any of them causing any fuss in that regard. Heck, we have the biggest narcissist in our team that makes Tevez look like small fry, yet he's been a blessing for us. Yes, I'm talking about Ibra. Your mistake is that you're not considering the environmental differences between City and Milan. Robinho had pretty much the same issue Tevez had at City, but has he ever created any problem since his arrival at Milan? No. He's been an angel if anything else. Tevez is a hard worker, and he would thrive in a team like Milan.

For pato the first order of treatment would be to get an outside consultation from a top specialist. The quacks at Milanello are certainly not doing any good, in fact they're making it even worse. At least last season he'd stay fit for a month or 2 before getting injured again.

^ No, my argument is that troublemakers at Milan always settle down.

De Laurentiis: “I wouldn’t even sell Cavani for €70m. I wouldn’t sell Lavezzi for €50m. Hamsik is also worth around €50m."

He can keep them, they're not that good

Yeah, I can see where Han is coming from, but still, Cavani is worth €70m easy. He's the type of guy who you can build a CL winning team around. I mean for the amount a (relatively speaking) dud like Pastore went for, Cavani is twice as much. The remaining two are absolutely exaggerated figures, they're worth half that.

I mean that's his asking prices, even if a club does not pay these amounts, they'll still fetch quite a few coins!

Lavezzi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cavani

Seriously, I'm surprised you fail to see what an amazing player Lavezzi is and how important he is for Napoli. Napoli without Cavani are still a tough side, but Napoli without Lavezzi are a mediocre team. Easily the best player in Serie A after Ibra.

Anyway, that's my opinion.

Milan are thought to be hatching a plan to bring in Arsenal’s Robin van Persie involving Alexandre Pato and Lukas Podolski.

According to reports in the Italian media, van Persie is the number one transfer target for the summer and the Gunners may well be forced to sell if they fail to qualify for the Champions League next season.

It is rumoured that the Rossoneri are ready to sell Pato to Paris Saint-Germain for around €35m – a sum that was initially rejected in January – in order to raise funds for this move.

In turn, Arsenal have already got their sights set on van Persie’s replacement, FC Köln and Germany striker Podolski.

The London club face Milan in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie on Tuesday evening.

The first leg ended 4-0 at San Siro, but today Arsenal fought back to beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield. Mikel Arteta was stretchered off with concussion and is therefore unlikely to feature next week.

That would be awesome.

I can see him leaving even if the qualify for CL. Maybe not to Milan because Arsenal gonna ask a very high sum, but he's playing there for a long time (seven years), he's not getting any younger (28 y.o already) and he's not going to win something there anytime soon.

Maybe, but loyalty is hard to find these days. He'll be 29 this summer and like all big players, I'm sure he wants to win trophies and have a real chance in the CL. This Arsenal can't provide him that.

According to Paolo Bargiggia, which I consider the best calciomercato specialist in Italy, Galliani has a verbal agreement with Tevez and we'll make an offer to City this summer, also including a tentative to sign Kolarov. We'll get our money from Pato's sale, which Berlusconi has finally agreed upon.

2 @-holes in one. Lovely.

We'll see. If we sell Pato to get Tevez I believe it will be one of the bigger mistakes that Galliani has accomplished throughout his years, and there were some stinkers...

Who's the starting LB at City?

I'd personally go for Armero than Kolarov.

Aside with all the negative in Tevez's career, he is an excellent football player who will be humbled by our trophy room.

Finally someone saying it right.

Right or your way?

Tevez was a **** at United. Their trophy room is hardly empty!

Ah, you mean to say one of the best ***** around. This I can agree with!

Tevez was an exceptional player for United, especially in helping to achieve European glory. Albeit they had CR and Rooney, Tevez was still an integral part of that team.

However, I do understand and concur that he is a ****. Yet as a footballer, he is one of the best.

His 2nd season was pretty awful. Then he starting crying to the media about how he wants to stay at United. So what does he do? Joins City when United offer him a contact. Tevez has shown his true colours and he's by far worse than Ibra and Balo combined. But at least they play by the rules.
