"Ancelotti guides Khedira to Milan?"

A little help from our former player and coach? Yes, please.

Yes, please, indeed.

Apparently, our dream signing for January is to sign William Carvalho from Sporting Lisbon

That would be amazing, an amazing player from what I`ve seen of him he will be great, and he`s young too. Not sure if hes the type of midfielder we NEED though, given hes a defensive midfielder similar to De Jong but a lot taller, stronger and somewhat Yaya Toureish going forward. The problem is, 35mln euros is Sportings asking price and he has a 50m release clause, so I doubt it will happen.

William Carvalho? Is Galliani going to propose a six year loan, with an option to buy in the end, fee set at 35M, to be paid over 35 years? Or is Berlusconi selling the city of Milan to raise cash for this?


RE: Winter mercato January 2015 - WCmilan - 10-16-2014

Lol Big Grin I`m just reporting what I see, I know nothing is likely, but nothing is impossible either. If Berlusconi said we shouldnt be crazy to want a place in the finals of the 2016 CL then he must be a jackass not to have some reason to say something like that and get our hopes up, but he has done it before so IDK.

New reports say that while Khedira is our number 1 objective for the winter mercato, Maher is our backup plan, and if he falls through as well then we`ll try to get Schone from Ajax. Schone would be likely, its a 6-7mln euro transfer, whereas we cannot afford Khediras wages and Maher will cost 15-20m+.

If that report is true, then it seems like were just trying to bring in any quality player as long as they`re cheap, but with no real plan.. I mean, those are 3 totally different style players. Maher is more of a trequartista as far as I know, but can play on either side of the midfield because of his great vision but in more of an attacking role. Whereas Khedira is a more defensive midfielder like NDJ, but he gets forward more and is a better player IMO. Whereas Schone, from what I remember he was a winger but apparently he can play in the midfield.

Remember that guy Eder Balanta that we`ve been linked with? Apparently super talented CB, well reports everywhere say we are in pole position to sign him - some reports say we have a personal agreement with him and thats why we are in pole, but River Plates asking price is apparently less than 10mln euros, seems doable.

one of the articles

If we fail to sign Balanta apparently well try to get Nastasic from Man City on a loan with option to buy.

Where linked to Balanta Khedira Carvalho Nastasic Shaqiri haha oh what a load of crap.
Berlu said that he dreams of Champions League Final in San Siro because it was an interview and it came up , he also said the squad is comprtitiveand fans should relax , he stil Milan are the most succesful club when theyre not anymore.He said we'd have a youth plan , he said he'll make sure Milan get back to where we once were but just signed free players and Bonaventura.He has no plan or intention of doing whats needed , it will be free cheap players nothing else.Anyone young or old regardless of position or quality once theyre cheap or free is the plan.

Not directing anything at you, WCMilan. Just wanted to say how ridiculous reporters are. After following this team for the last 7 years, they still think we are going to make actual signings that make sense? Come on, man.

I feel the exact same .I dont understand how journos can continue to link Milan with good players mercato after mercato.

Balanta, Murru and William Carvalho? Reading the names made me laugh because they actually make sense. If Milan's transfer markets for a number of years is anything to go by, this is nothing but a dream.

I definitely don't think William Carvalho's possible, though like WCMilan think he's got the ability to become a huge player (reminds me a little of Desailly at Milan). Getting him would be massive.

These are guys I'd take in a heartbeat, no hesitation. They would need time and patience, but they have the ability to really do great things. Add a quality centre forward (not Zaza imo), a guy who can actually be a symbol for the team, and I'd actually believe this team can be competitive.

Reports on Milannews (I think originally from Tuttosport?) suggest the club are interested in Lisandro Magallan and German Pezzella, who are apparently highly rated young Argentine defenders.

Khedira's another dream imo, a player who can instantly improve the side, but one I just can't see the club getting due to his wage demands (even with Carlo's help).

It's not actually all negative though. I think realistically the club can get Balanta and Murru, as Balanta's still not worth 10m and with the Argentine economy struggling and it's effect on football, I think a deal can be struck (same goes for the 2 Argentine defenders I mentioned). On this note, I can say I'm not even slightly surprised Maiorino's recent South American venture was focused on Argentine football, I'm kind of surprised it's taken so long.

Murru is surely also approachable. He's at a club which in recent times has been struggling managerially and he's out of favour under Zeman. I think that there is a possible advantage to take there and get him.

That said the worry is the alternatives. Names like Maher and Schone don't interest me at all. Nastisic is more interesting, though I would be lying if I said I didn't consider Balanta a better player. I also read Shaqiri somewhere, another who I don't think is possible and tbh a player who the club actually don't need.
