Summer mercato 2012

[ACMILAN1983]

I read on milannews that while Ibra and Thiago are expected to stay this summer (though neither is 100%), the recent rumours around Boateng with him linked to Real and City etc. are more to do with him wanting a new contract worth 3.5 to 4m a year. In this case, the club might see him as a player we can possibly sell, in which case Allegri is keen to move from 4-3-1-2 to 4-3-3 with an attacking line of Pato, Ibra and Cassano. Personally, I'd like to keep him and think if he stays fit is worth 3.5 to 4m. He's become more and more vital for us over the past 2 years
and he has a strong personality we need in our side (especially as guys like Nesta and Rino have left).

Other news, as Elmago has mentioned, is Malaga might be prepared to spend 20m on Binho. At 16m I'd hold out to see if we can get more, but at 20m, I wouldn't think twice of selling him.

So, we've had heated links lately with many players.

One is Ganso, who imo if all goes well will be a milan player sooner or later. Witsel is up in the air as just recently he said he'd love a move to milan.. Strootman seemed to have been done, apparently personal terms are all agreed upon but the club will wait for negotiations until after the euro cup which i think is stupid, because if he really impresses his price will skyrocket. Sahin, pretty solid links but no quotes, i generally don't trust much news that doesn't have quotes from the agent or player or club, since otherwhys it could just be pure speculation.. Mudingayi said bye to bologna, so who knows where he'll go but im not so interested in him anymore (although for half of flaminis wages he would probly do a better job)

In the attacking department, if ibra leaves i see balotelli coming. if robinho leaves i see ganso coming, or tevez

Interesting news regarding Sahin today on milannews. Apparently, the strategy to get him is put in place, with us apparently speaking to his agent first and offering him a vital role within our side. At 23/24, he can't really afford much more time on the bench, which seems fairly likely at Real. Once he's on board to joining us, the idea is to get him to personally request the transfer to Real, who whilst keen on keeping him, probably won't be objectional to selling if he wants the sale (essentially, he's not important enough for them, nor would they want a player who might become disruptive). Our offer will apparently be a year loan with an option to buy at a fixed price.

Mudingayi may not be the first choice for most people, but he probably shouldn't be discounted. He's just played the best season of his career and was one of the best destroyers in the league this past year. This is backed up with the stats, where his defensive statistics (tackles, interceptions etc.) were almost on par with Vidal's, who was pretty much the best destroyer/defensive midfielder in the league this past year. Going by stats, Nocerino's quite weak in this regard, as he was no where near at winning balls compared to the others. Whilst I wouldn't mind Mudingayi, I would prefer Nainggolan still, who wasn't quite as good defensively, but was more productive going forward and is 6 years younger than Mudingayi. Unfortunately, his value will probably much higher too.

A chinese website claim that milan are going for neymar instead of ganso,a robinho for neymar swap will be marvellous.

Our ex-player Serginho has also said we're monitoring him as well as Ganso.
