That was quick. Footbal Italia had a story earlier about our prime target being Pastore. An little while later, complete denials.

Obviously management is focused on current player extention negotiations and don't want these variables floating around during talks.

Plus, he will not start on the current Barcelona team. He will get playing time of course, as they will rotate, but he has a starting ACM spot in which he can control our offense in as many games as he wants playing alongside Robinho, Cassano, Ibra, Pato, Boateng, Gattuso, etc. I wonder if that's appealing to him...or if he'd just rather go home to Barcelona and call it a day.

What's scary is the article says Galliani is set to have talks with Seedorf over his expiring contract. There should be no "talks" but rather a hug and a wave...

Also the 'he can't finish'

just checked-

Robinho- 95 shots, 14 goals
zlatan- 116 shots, 14 goals (3 which were pks)

robinho's been consistent on finishing every 6 to 7 chances he creates. Which is good when you consider, what else he brings in terms of movement, creation and general play. I love the guy. Excellent versitile player. I see why he + kaka were the core of dunga's attack. If Dunga was less stubborn and brought someone like hernanes as an alternative to his midfield, they probably would have won WC. The netherlands game was screaming for a player like hernanes to come on and 'calm' the play

You compared striker who is bad at finishing with striker who is also bad at finishing. No information we can get from it except both can't shoot well.

Yes, Robinho is consistent in shooting so many goals with only making few goals from so many shots. His goal ratio (goal to total shoots) was only 14,7% (according to the data you provided).

I am not happy about Robinho's and Ibra's abilities at scoring. They can be very important in a the League where they still have chances if they can't score in a couple of games but not in Champions League where a single goal could be extremely important.

I just hope that it won't turn into another long and fruitless summer. And, if possible, I would want to have him join us in the early part of the summer, not something like August 31. It is important to have players ready and train well for the season. Last-minute transfers, as exciting as they are, often create more problems for the coach and the team, which often means less desirable results for the early part of the season.

Also, I just checked wikipedia, according to which, Giuliano now plays for the team named FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in Ukraine (not Russia ). Ukraine is closer to Italy than Russia, so maybe we still have a chance landing him?

I was just wondering, if ACM could just sign Xavi, Iniesta, Dani Alves and maybe Messi, our squad would be complete .....

First off neither him nor Ganso have proven themselves in Europe, so the only things we can really look at is raw talent, if we speak of talent between the two with the two year age difference as well where 19-21 is also a big space for improvement like how Pato put on great muscle gains, we must look at these when considering who to buy. I think neither one of them will be able to have a noteable impact when they are first brought in, regardless a season or two it will take for them to mould into the team and be more developed/get used to our and seria A's style of play. This is why I think Lamela is the better option , bring him in for cheaper so we can buy a direct starting CAM, like Honda or Hernanes, proved themselves either in world cup or Seria a in hernanes case and consistency through out is good enough to proove worthy of Milan. Ganso and Lamela we can't call more then prospects, they wont have a direct impact on milan .. Kaka was also a prospect when he joined us, but he earned a place in our starting line up and we also had other CAM options to rotate with him. This is why I think it would be smart, once they mould into the team our temporary CAM whether Hernanes/Hamsik/Honda any of those players have the versatility for a midfield role whether it be LCM/RCM/CM can be moved there after.
