Mesbah and cash for Hernanes http://www.milannews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=87022

Viste le oggettive difficoltà per arrivare a Federico Balzaretti, la Lazio avrebbe individuato un altro terzino sinistro: Djamel Mesbah, difensore del Milan. L’algerino piace moltissimo al nuovo allenatore dei laziali, Petkovic, che avendolo potuto osservare da vicino nel campionato svizzero l’ha richiesto espressamente al presidente Lotito. Il Milan potrebbe cogliere al balzo l’occasione e ritornare in pressing su Hernanes, regista della squadra romana molto considerato dalle parti di via Turati. Il profeta piaceva al Milan fin dai tempi in cui giocava al San Paolo, ma allora la cifra per portarlo a Milano era fuori portata (circa 25 milioni di euro). Adesso, complici anche le cessioni di Ibrahimovic e Thiago Silva, il Milan potrebbe presentare un’offerta di 18 milioni più il cartellino di Mesbah.

It says 18 million euros + Mesbah, I would be surprised if we would spend that much money on him these days.

Plus, there are simply no amazing LB's out there, they are all either past it or would cost to much and wouldn't even be their natural position. Lahm and Dani alves would be unreal, Lahm will never leave and if he did his price is at least 20mln euros + , same price on dani alves and they are both naturally RB's i believe? but no doubt they could play Lb just as efficiently.

Evra, ashley cole seem to be past their prime and in decline, i definitely don't want a player like that. Speed was always their strong point and it's risky going for players who rely so much on speed who are already at an old age (both of them 31 y/o) balzaretti may be 30, but won't come close to their contract demands and is also italian + would cost much less.

Jordi Alba, when you talk young very promising LB's he's the only one who comes to mind and he would be quite costly and would favour a move to barcelona or real instead of us.

BTW, seems like we've signed the captain of the under 15 argentina squad feulissier, midfielder apparently very talented boy. It seems like we have serious plans for the next decade I'm liking it. I'm just concerned about us investing in player for now, for our current team. Signing youth and giving our current youths a bigger chance is great but I think at minimum it should be neccesary we sign a defender a top class striker and possibly a creative midfielder to complete our team.

Great news that andy carrol has been loaned to west ham, now we don't have to WORRY about him being our ibra replacement anymore

But I dont really care, if that means we could get our hands on German. While not WC, he is certainly better than Traore, Muntari or Constant.

(07-30-2012, 11:39 PM)Siregar Wrote: Rumor about Khedira is close to a joke IMO. How come Madrid will let go the German best player in Euro 2012? Khedira showed great improvement in Euro 2012 compared to World Cup 2010 and was the best player for die Nationalmannschaft in the tournament. I think, he has turned to a modern midfielder, who can attack and defense in similar quality.

IMO Khedira will boost Milan play if he comes but I do doubt he comes since we already have too many defensive midfielders and what wee need now is a regista or a creative midfielder if Monto plays as the anchor.

I read that they've given 11.5m plus 4.5m next year, with two youth players as co-ownership as part of the deal, each rated at 1.5m, meaning the deal is worth 19m in total.

http://www.football-italia.net/21719/roma-confirm-%E2%82%AC19m-destro-deal

That quite frankly is insane for a player that only has one good (not even great) season at the top level and is still unproven. He's worth about half of that.

If Zeman thinks Destro will be his main player in attack (14 goals in a small team, now he will be in a good team with probably a simple role : scoring and nothing else), I think it's fair to pay, even overpay for this player.

If at the end of the season, Destro will have scored 10 goals, it will be labelled a failure, but he he ends the season with 20-25+ goals, then that means they will have been right to pay that amount.

PS : Even if the young players are rated 1.5M, can it really be added to the final amount of money spent ? I mean, these young players would maybe never have been used by Roma (didn't read the article yet, so I don't know who they are), so they are "used" to make some deals easier, like we also do ... But I wouldn't add them (financially) to the final price.

About Real Merda, why Modric over Kedhira ? Some of you ask this question, but how do you know it is Kedhira who will be dropped from the first team ?

They could easily play this way :

Ronaldo - Benzema - Di Maria
Modric - Khedira - Ozil

Or

Ronaldo - Benzema
Ozil
Modric - Xabi Alonso - Khedira
