RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - Ca Rossonero - 06-04-2011
MY predictions-
75% chance gift is Ganso
50% chance gift is Fabregas
10% chance gift is Pastore/Hamsik
Juan Aguedlo playing for USA v. Spain.... if USA can mount an attack watch for him. Future of usa... only 18, scored v. argentina months ago.... miles better than jozy
SIGN HIM GALLIANI
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - russo-neri - 06-04-2011
Here's what someone posted on the goal.com article about us on the verge of signing Witsel. Just thought I put it here to start some trouble amongst you MM posters.

This is the end of calcio. The once mighty Milan talking to some dodgy mediocre division 3 player. Berlusconi knows he has no money, guess the little he has as to be used fighting his legal battles. Can you imagine Barca buying a mediocre player? I can't. Milan are not on the same planet
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - WCmilan - 06-04-2011
Lol that loser who posted that is just jelous because we're on the verge of becoming the milan that would make barca look like children. our rijkaard gullit van basten era was better then that of barcas right now. no big deal, we'll regain it this upcoming season
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - JuanShoe - 06-04-2011
Whilst I'm happy with the potential signing, some people's expectations or thoughts about how we will destroy Barca or even compete with them are just ridiculous. Barca's team is the product of over a decade of planning and training. We are moving in the right direction but even if we spent £200 million it wouldn't make us as good as Barca. Look at the money Madrid have spent trying and still aren't close. We need to bring through our youths intergating them into our own style andtake our time, even if that means not winning everything in sight. The Football Manager mindset of some fans simply doesn't work in real life.
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - fLame - 06-04-2011
These bandwagon self proclaimed Barca fan retards make me want to see Barca collapse even faster.
But the problem with retards - they will always find a new team to worship.

LOL. I am jealous of bartha. We sign n00bs like Witsel and not champions like Gaby Milito, Adriano, Maxwell, chingrisky, caceres and henrique (among others
)And JuanShoe, 100% spot on. You couldn't say it anybetter, and Galliani knows this. We are starting a cycle, which is why we're buying youth (like witsel), investing heavily in youth team (we saw first one blooming in Merkel) and so on. We build generations. It's the end of the pirlo/gattuso etc. gen, and as those players slowly leave and phase out, new faces will arrive
RM's biggest problem is too much change. They need consistency to get talent to work.

Spot on about how long it took them to create something like that. Guardiola was with their B team for a while and what we are looking at now is the sacrifice of years of hard work.
Having said that, I think with the right signings and the right mentality we can at least challenge Barca, but it would be very hard,if not impossible to play as fluid as them.
All the players coming out of Barca youth system have for years been trained to follow the same style of football and integrate into that style. Some,if not a lot of them, are players bought from other youth systems that Barca feels are capable of fitting their style.
And I think Milan has started following that same system of channeling youth into the first team. Biggest examples are us spending millions of Euros on youth players in recent years. But it will all take time to see the end product. People just have to be patient. Just look at how long it took Barca to get to where they are with their youth. From the mid 90s until about 5 years ago. And as a matter of fact the whole system there has been in place for a long time. With Cruyff and company. Barca has just taken that totall football to a whole different level.

Great use of the word "whilst"
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - abbeyleemania - 06-05-2011
Firstly, i will be sad if we spend 12-15 m euros on Witsel, who is a gamble and however didnt prove anything on highest level... We dont trade with Udinese because of a stupid bycoot... We are signing players from lower leagues... Asamoah costs more or less... At least he is a quality player... A sub for Gattuso is the last thing we need...Some says he can play various positions, if you notice it, Same peeps says that he failed to impressed because he played out of position. so its hard to understand them...
Secondly, we need players to send the likes of Ambro, Gattuso, Seedorf to the bench, not vice Gattuso or Ambro, or Seedorf... We need to add quality to midfield... Witsel 1 month younger than Asamoah... He didnt show himself in highest level...Lets be honest, i dont rate players like him, strong and good arial game...He is really slow...He didnt seemed to me he had world class potential, he wont be Gattuso, who can press everywhere and help everyone...Good as rotation player at most...12-15 m euros is not small sum, considering Lazio got Hernanes just for 10 m euros, who showed his quality unlike Witsel...
Montolivo, Witsel, i dont rate this players much... its not a problem cuz we are not talking about Fabregas or Hamsik...
im now pessimistic about future CL campaign, Witsel, maybe Ganso...i dont believe if we can sign Fabregas, we really costs a lot, He dreams of Barcelona, Barcelona can pay great amounts to Arsenal... While we cant...They can pay 7 m euros to him easily...While its a great wage for us...Napoli plays in CL, Mazzari stayed, they are talking about 5 new signings plus Lamela... Hamsik already declared he wants to stay...We dont even link with Hernanes... Pastore costs too much for us...Ganso is injury prone and didnt show anything on highest level...
Bale is a LM, not a LCM...it seems we will miss the train for Lamela, just like we did with Pastore... Lamela more or less costs same amount like Witsel...
Witsel plus Ganso means a vice Gattuso, no improvement over midfield trio... Where we need really improvement...
Regarding Real, Real is spending money wrong...What would happened if they used money on Fabregas, Thiago Silva, Maicon, Pastore, Hernanes e.t.c.? They paid 67 m euros for a player Kaka who was in decline since 2007...Was mostly injured... overpayed for Ronaldo, Benzema and Alonso...

Just: LOL!
From what I've seen on Goal.crap, apart from the articles and transfer rumors, even the people who comment on there are waaaaaay too stupid, really. Just Messi, Barca and C.Ronaldo fans who have never watched Serie A, mostly EPL and La Liga fanboys and think Messi and C.Ronaldo are TEH BEST EVAR! I don't bother much with them.
As I said a few posts above, I have never really watched this guy play. He becomes good in Football Manager though.
But in most cases, I trust Galliani and Braida and their scouting.
