Gazzetta: Allegri wants to try Kaka' in front of the defense.

Really? Coz Kaka is progressively useless the further he gets from the edge of the 18 yard box.

One of the stupidest things I've read in years!!

It has to be Monto in front of the defence, Noce and Boateng on the sides and Kaka behind the front 2 or it won't work

Hello everyone.. My first post in the forum wanna be right here asking for improvement of our squad
We hope everything will be as appropriate for our team!
Forza Milan from Thessaloniki!
Nice to meet you all guyz.

Eh, another 911. Nice to meet you to, buddy. Great to have you on board!

dst's 2nd account.

Hmm...so we are linked with Caen's striker called M'Baye Niang.

He was an Arsenal target, but apparently the club were not happy with their idea of a 5 million fee in staggered amounts.

He's a winger/forward and he's 17 years old. Why do I get the feeling he's gonna be fodder?

Oh, and R80 said Allegri forced him out. This to add to Gattusso's recent statements. I'm not Allegri fan, but at this moment in time, I wish people would just STFU and try and let him get on with his job.

Aquilani has signed for Fiorentina on a permanent move. So, we've basically swapped our number 18's with one another.

I agree. Come on, Milan brought him so that he can bring something new to the table. After Ancelotti, Milan lacked direction and purpose. It's only natural that when a new coach comes in he tries to do certain things which not everyone will be happy about.

I haven't seen many of Montolivo's games with Fiorentina to compare with Aquilani but based on what I've seen, I think Montolivo might be better than Aquilani in terms of composure and consistency.

I always thought Aquilani was the better player, but after seeing Montolivo in the Euros, I have really high hopes for him. Hopefully with Nocerino, Boateng, Pato, Kaká and Cassano alongside him he can fully express his potential.

+1

We got the better 18 though

Milan back in the race for Tevez! Galliani wants to repeat the Ibrahimovic-deal: get the player on loan with obligatory purchase payable in two installments.

Source: Mediaset

Any word on what would happen to the potential Kaka deal if we got him?

And to Cassano or Robinho?

I think the Cassano situation just f'd things up. Had he been acting like Milan player right now instead of a whiny mercenary, we could have been looking at a better situation in our attack right now.

Potentially something like this:

Ibra + Robinho out

G. Rossi + Dzeko in

Attack:

Cassano, Pato, G. Rossi, Dzeko, El Shaarway

But the prospect of Tevez Pato could be a deadly one.



Not too shabby.

Keeping Cassano, as a backup, after him crying and complaining about the departures of Silva and Ibra and wanting to become a focus point of the new team and have his wage increased?

Please no Tevez....I'd stomach a thousand "fine as we are"'s than get him

I've been beating the same old drum about club values (kinda ironic given the head honcho ) but Tevez is ANOTHER nail in our coffin. As with iBra...one scudetto isn't worth the backlash. Just my $0.02

Exactly the same here.

News:


-Mourinho:"If KAKA decides to go for being happy, then we'll be happy. I would have no problems with it"


-Mourinho: "Sahin can leave if he wants we leave [the situation] in his hands. Be happy. Decide what you want to decide, to be happy. If you decide to leave we are going to help you to leave. If you decide to stay, we are going to support you and try to succeed this season.”





-ROBINHO:"If santos present a new offer for me in the future,then i'm ready to take it into consideration





-Gala chief Adem Cukur admits hopes of luring Sahin to the Istanbul giants.

"I hope to see Nuri Sahin at Galatasaray soon. The player is very close and the operation may end at any time.

"Fatih Terim wants the player to be the number 10 of the team," said Cukur.





-Dzeko not happy @ city:

“In the second part of the season I was slightly sidelined,” Dzeko reflected.

“And I have no idea why I lost this continuity. I came here to play, so I never considered this problem.

“I’m think I am too good to spend another season on the bench, so anything is possible for my future, despite the words of [manager Roberto] Mancini.

“However, there is nothing concrete just yet.”






-After the betting scandal, Bonucci and Pepe face bans, Bologna -2 points, Lecce demoted to Lega Pro

Leonardo Bonucci could be banned for 3 years and 3 months






-Galliani has met with G. Rossi's agent in New york today. he has offered 2.5m per year. We could sign him for around 8m.





-Kaka's negotations to Milan are well on their way with things so far going smoothly. Mourinho has given perez the green light to offload him. If the player is signed, milan intend to present on August 19 at the Luigi Berlusconi trophy.




-Berlusconi: "I consider Boateng as a striker."





-We are after tevez. loan deal with mandatory buy.






-Amelia:"Middlesbrough?No thanks ,i'll stay in Italy"
Amelia:"I'm very happy at Milan and i hope i can end my carrer at milan."
Amelia:"It's obvious that i,as a roman and a romanista dream about wearing the roma shirt one day.Who knows...."






-We have reached an agreement with wonder kid M'Baye Niang from Caen sporting. The deal is 2m +2m in bonuses. He'll be here sunday to do his medical and sign his contract. He's 17. (GREAT F*cking pick up! F*ck you wenger )

Niang is amazing folks. Well done galliani !

Why is Tevez out of favor with ManCity again? Or has their relationship deteriorated once again?

Thanks,great update man.
I've only hurd about him in football manager ...xD He's the one with the highest potential there.


So,if that's true.El sharaawy has gone up a notch.And,although he can never replace Ibra..I'd rather watch a great team be build with a mix of experience and potential stars.

Pato, sharaawy and Niang. Wow

And have no fear.I think we'll get that Niang kid,and that will be it for our strikers.We can't afford Tevez.

Yeah I don't see Tevez coming to be honest. This kid is good enough to walk into our first team.


Cassano
Pato
Robinho
Sharaawy
Niang

If he is 17 does he have to wait til he turns 18 to be registered? I remember we had that problem with Pato when he first came.

Thats only for non europeans. He's french

I mentioned Niang a bit earlier. A little concerned coz, he's unproven but that's alright. What worries me about the forward line is they're all 'small' forwards. I know Pato can use his head (to score anyway ) but well...

Which is why we will have to change the way we play. We have to play short passes, through ball and perhaps ball over the top to capitalize on these small forwards agility, speed and acceleration.

I really don't think that the fact that they're small matters much. How many headed goals did we score last season? Even with a giant like Zlatan upfront?

The only thing that will have to change is the long ball tactic Allegri has employed when he's completely devoid of ideas and is happy playing 3 destroyers in midfield. Ibra made such BS tactics possible, but now Allegri seriously has to step it up, our midfield needs to start working correctly to provide service to our forwards

Ah ok. That explains it. Thanks blue. It will definitely be a very different team. It will be a test for the players and coach in adaptability and resolve. Even with no additions I think we have a solid attack. I'm most worried about the defense. We can't rely on incredible defending to keep us in the game anymore.

Realistically, we can play a 4-3-3 in the future.







That attacking line is fast as hell. Add Robinho and Constant to it and we got some speed.

Caen president Jean-Francois Fortin has confirmed Arsenal have made an official offer for Niang, but that they face competition from clubs in England and Italy.

"Arsenal made me a proposition, but other clubs are interested - two in England and one in Italy," Fortin told L'Equipe.

"There will be an issue here for a fortnight before the matter is resolved."




So Man City and Arsenal are in the race for this kid.



so i'll give you guys a detail overview of what is going on with this transfer.


-He went on trial with Arsenal a while back, things seemed set on being finalized but wenger didn't want to pay them 5m straight up. He wanted to pay a structured deal with performance based cash. Caen said no.


Then we joined in and so did city. We managed to strike a deal with Caen for around 4m, but nothing will be done until all negotations have been carried out.

So far the player wants to come here, I think galliani told him that he'll earn more playing time here than at the ladder.



So unless city comes in with 10m or arsenal outbid us, he's ours.

News:


-Arsenal have agreed terms with Malaga for Santi Cazorla. 18m.


-Arsenal have entered the race for Sahin. They want him on loan.


-Antonino Pulvirenti, president of Catania, speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss has denied the involvement of Milan Francesco Lodi: "To my knowledge, we have never spoken, and there 'never was any demand."



-pogba to juve offical



-We are after David Pizzaro


-Berlusconi wants kaka back and could help fund his wage personally


-We have pulled out of Matri deal. Juve stand firm over their 14m valuation.


-We want G Rossi for around 7-8m but Villareal want 11-12m. The player is desperate to leave the spaniards and has told his agent to finalize the move. So far galliani has offered 2.5m for 4 years to G Rossi and they have said yes. Now all that remains is villareal.



-middelsborough approached milan for amelia. Milan gave the green light for them to begin talks but amelia declined them saying hes not leaving.



-Sheikh Al Thani, owner of Malaga has put the club up for sale. The sheikh no longer has interest in the spanish project and wishes to cut his losses before they grow any further.

Rossi is a gamble. Yet, I do remember how good he used to be and how much potential he brings. He certainly wouldn't be what we need right now, but maybe an asset for the future.

I love the attacking approach but the only way that has a shot in hell is with a solid backline specifically great fullbacks to compensate for the narrow midfield. Sadly we're a bit lacking in that department.

News:


-Ambrosini:

"Everyone would like it if kaka came back"

"Ricky kaka is one of those who left milan despite still having some unfinished things to do"

"Nobody had any problems with sheva when he returned to milan"

"kaka is a great player and who still has a lot to give.In my opinion it doesnt seem like he has any physical problems"

"Kaka as a regista? that seems unworkable to me.you dont event anything in football"



-Dzeko wants to leave manchester City



-Yanga has told monte's president that he wants to leave and join Milan. He has requested that negotiations begin.

QUOTE

Adriano Galliani in the States for Kaka , Silvio Berlusconi in Russia by his friend Putin . The future of AC Milan will play on two tables from old Cold War, with the two top executives, CEO and president, ready to close two deals valued. Galliani will try to convince Florentino Perez to give back to the Brazilian. Silvio Berlusconi, however, try to find an agreement with Gazprom for the sale of shares.

Money, possibly a few, the output of the one part. And money, lots of hand this time, into the other. Taking a step back in time. Kaka and Gazprom are, so to speak, two old lovers of Milan. The first, and then surrendered acclaimed, you know it all, including the desire to bring the Rossoneri and try to relaunch it after Real crash.
Of the Russians, however, we know that a couple of years ago came an offer of 180 million euros for the purchase of 30% of the club. Offer then declined, rejected, returned to the sender, but which, today, Berlusconi would return to Milan with a broad smile and the assurance that he acted for the good of the club.
That money, needless to say, are all right, so much so that the 'openness to new investors is fresh and it came right from a number of Milan. Logically, then, that he who is moving to try to find good ones.
The only novelty in this sense, is that the new member is not the famous Emir Al Maktoum but the Russian energy giant.
Across the world, meanwhile, will make his Galliani. In strict chronological order: friendly against Real and, around Wednesday, meeting with his friend Florentino Perez, which asked for the loan of Kaka. After receiving the green light will be time to find a point of contact with the Brazilian happy to be back but obviously not happy to cut by 50% and above his salary.

TMW says that our interest in Niang is only instrumental, since both Caen and the player's agent are proposing Niang to numerous European clubs. We've made an initial approach for the player, but the situation is still in the embryonic stage.

If $hit£egri's really thinking about playing Ricky as a deep lying Playmaker then I'll need to find a more insulting nickname

I wonder if you pursuit of Niang has anything to do with frustrating Arsenal's attempts to get Sahin? Makes sense if you think about it

news:

-no news today

Do better then that

Milan have dropped the idea of trying to sign Rolando as Porto demand too much for the player (€15m), according to Gazzetta dello Sport.


Royston Drenthe's agent has offered him to Milan.

Montpellier rejected Milan's €6m offer for Yanga-Mbiwa. Milan will wait until January when the player is a free agent. [GdS]

Milan could try to sign Granqvist (Genoa) or Andreolli (Chievo), according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The rumours are getting more depressing by the minute.

I have to say, a lot of people said that they trust Galliani to make the right moves, but atm it's looking like he has no idea on WTF he's doing.

We can't even offer around 10m for a defender when we've just sold Ibra and Thiago for 65m. We're going into mid August next week and still we have not replaced 1 single player who has left or been sold, all we've done is bulk up the team with mediocre free agents. It's just not looking good right now

If we can get Mbiwa for free in January then we should wait IMO. but I agree, it's depressing that we're being linked with nobodies mostly.

The problem is, we don't have all the money available for just one move. Galliani has to balance the division so that we still have enough for a potential Kaka, Khedira, Sahin, Diarra, Dzeko or Tevez move. So we're being stingy on defenders.

Another problem is that a the present time there ain't many really talented defenders around. Rolando really isn't worth 15 from what I saw.

Agreed. Plus, I don't think Galliani is scratching his backside flipping out about how many days left in August. On the contrary, I think the game is Poker and the Dr is calling their bluffs.

Not much is left and I believe we wont see much action till late August anyways.

No he's not and I agree that it's too much

But if we want anyone half decent than around 10m has to be spent for sure. If not than we might as well wait to get that Yanga guy for free. What's the point of paying money for players who are on the Bonera level? What's the point of paying 5m for another Acerbi who is clearly average at this point.

Yes I know you can't make the call after seeing him in a couple of friendlies but he clearly has no positional sense, add to that he's painfully slow and it's a recipe for disaster

Tuttosport reports that Milan have €20m Transfer budget and we are aiming to buy 3 players with that total amount.
