I don't like the rumors one bit. This would be another restart. I'm getting tired.

Mexes, Abate, MDS are the few players that actually play good at Milan. Now we have the chance to build on that, but as usual, we decide to turn the page and sell in order to bring in questionable "targets". Don't get me wrong, Coentrao is a good player - but do we really need him? Alex is a fair defender, yet I wonder myself, wouldn't Mexes perhaps agree cutting his salary to €2.8 million per season? Because in that case, Mexes has the advantage: he's played for years in Serie A, he's been good for Milan and he has still something to offer.

Cerci and Fernando are okay, but not game changers. I'd rather we buy one player, but with true class or at least top potential then again buying all the usual rejects we can find.

“It's an amazing game, isn't it? You can't get a game at Fulham at the bottom of the Premier League and then you go to Milan!

According to Mediaset, we'll sign Alex (32) from PSG for free this summer (2-year contract for €2.8 million per season + option for a third year). We're also far ahead of Juve in regards to Fernando. Agazzi will be the new goalie. Our main objective will be Cerci, whom we want to get by selling Saponara to Parma.

Thoughts?

Tuttosport says we're after Fabio Coentrao for the left flank. He'll cost around €10 million. We might get him on loan or pay his fee in installments. Coentrao on the left in order to definitely place De Sciglio on the right. Doria is our main objective in defense.

I agree. From those names mentioned, I'd get Fernando and Cerci.

Call me mad, but I think in defense we're quite covered. Abate, Rami, Mexes, MDS as starters, Zapata, Bonera and Emanuelson as subs. Maybe bring another average CB to replace Silvestre.

Obviously Agazzi is a terrible choice for first GK. We should go after Perin or Marchetti.

This is what I'd like to see for next season:



More than doable, and not very expensive, especially if that article about us having €45 million to spend is true.

Alex might be okay for us for a bit (in a rotational sense), but similar situation to Essien if you ask me.

I'm not denying that Cerci is an influential player for Torino, but I'm not sure how an actual winger would fit into Milan. Hopefully if one does arrive it adds something extra to the side, and moreover, hopefully if Cerci was to arrive he wouldn't suffer a similar fate of Gilardino (big fish small pond problem)

Anyone ever seen Doria in actual gameplay?

According to this article Fernando has signed a contract extension: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/spo...ew-deal-6686510

I'm not even that familiar with him to be honest (but Im thinking I should be...) *shrugs*

Btw, what 45mil?

I'd rather invest 60mm every year in Microsoft shares with their cloud computing and all

Zenit St Petersburg Chasing AC Milan Striker
Russian powerhouse Zenit St Petersburg have earmarked AC Milan’s Brazilian striker Robinho as their main transfer target.

The Russian club are in the hunt for a marquee striker, and have turned their attention to the Brazilian, after Juventus’ Mirko Vucinic spurned their advances last month.

According to sportdirectnews.com, Zenit coach Luciano Spalletti is an admirer of the 30 year old Brazilian and would like to make a member of his squad before the deadline passes at the end of the month.

Robinho has three goals in 18 Serie A appearances for Milan this campaign.

"Marquee striker"

Smart guy. Windows Azure is ready for prime time!

It is indeed; 99% of corporates world-wide use microsoft products. To have it integrated in a cloud would be a huge plus in terms of not having office/windows-tools in the form of physical disks to install; rather just purchase/cancel a subscription/license off the cloud. What is more interesting here is the new CEO was actually the brains in charge of putting together their cloud service.

You off-topic infidels! MODS! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

Cerci is our primary transfer target for this summer. Seedorf has given his constant for the operation. Cerci's contract with Torino ends in 2015. His price is evaluated around €16 million, which is a lot for someone with only one year of contract left. We will try to lower it including Saponara and/or a couple of Primavera players. Juve are also interested in him.

Praying for Juve to take him

Spending 16m on a guy who only does well with mid-table clubs is seriously not the right way to go if we want to take a step up next year

We could get Iturbe for 1m less than that FFS!

Considerably better then Iturbe.

I don't think Cerci is worth that much, and I don't think he's as good as some people might him out to be, but you treat him as if he's Traoré or something. I think he'd be a good signing. And I think he's better than Iturbe.

Considerably better then Iturbe.

Fast approaching 30??? He's 26 FFS! Now you've done it, han.

Isn't he 27? Or if not he's turning 27 this year. (Born 1987)

And for a player that relies on speed that's not good, he'll turn 28 during the season that we'll sign him in. How is that a smart investment

Rosicky?

Nah...

Are you guys blind? Dude's gonna be free. Galliani will certainly pick him up one a 6M yearly wage, as is the custom with us.

We don't pay €6 million per year since Thiago and Ibra left.

But I honestly don't think it's gonna happen. We have a new policy and I can't see Seedorf wanting him as well.

So there are reports that there will be bids for balotelli from arsenal and Tottenham.
Arsenal is suposed to bid 45M and Tott will bid lamela + cash....
Due to our lack of wingers (or money...) and having a proven Pazzo on the bench, would you pull the trigger?

Don't know, Pazzo is a good striker, but he's not someone who I'd count on to lead the line

45m is a lot, if I'm 100% sure that we'll re-invest that then yeah, I'd probably sell up.

Don't know how true this is anyway, Balo is a great potential, but he's yet to prove that consistently, add to that he's a huge head case that many clubs would be hard pressed to trust

Milan up for sale?

The news apparently came out on Bloomberg, though Fininvest denied.

“As evidenced by the recent purchases of Inter and AS Roma, Serie A and certain of its clubs are great brands,” said Chuck Baker, a partner with DLA Piper’s Global Sports Media and Entertainment practice, whose clients include AS Roma and Pallotta’s Raptor Capital Management LP. “If we can bring U.S. and other global sports marketing and merchandising strategies, newer facilities and an improved fan experience, the investments have tremendous upside potential.”

...and we're really interested in Adebayor (30).

Youth project my āss.

Didn't want him ever since the 1st time we were being linked with him (back in his days at Arsenal) and I'm not interested with him now!

NO thanks!!!
