Stitch....players today are employees simple as that.
i dont blame him at all. milan is a sinking ship, and everyone but captain leave the sinking ship.
while i'm sad when i look at how far the mighty have fallen, i cant blame the player for not wanting to play for a team with no ambition.
RE: Summer mercato 2012 - Vanderballs1 - 08-20-2012
Looks like it's been confirmed based on wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Cassano
RE: Summer mercato 2012 - WCmilan - 08-20-2012
It's been confirmed by allegri already in an interview, cassano asked for a transfer. Allegri went on saying if he goes to inter someone will arrive from inter. He had positive words about Pazzini.. Giving cassano away for pazzini would be a step backwords imo unless we find a creative SS/CF to replace cassano because pazzini doesn't have any of those capablities, he's just good at scoring plain and simple.. Still praying the player we swap him with is sneijder

Barcelona fans who threw a pig head to Figo don't agree with you.
My point is not necessarily on that he wanted out, but that he wanted out at such an extreme and last-minute fashion that hurts the team, and that he wanted to move to the team's bitter rival.
I don't disagree with Warro or you that players today are employees, but some loyalty and some decency can always go a long way.
RE: Summer mercato 2012 - sylrus - 08-20-2012
i would like pazzini to come here to milan
but not in the cost of cassano to inter
it would be a dissaster
we dont have any creativity anymore if cassano left
monty as creative force???? i doubt he could carry this team
RE: Summer mercato 2012 - xudong - 08-20-2012
We need an anchor. Everybody (well, probably not everybody) says that Montolivo can play there, but I feel that his best position should be just LCM or RCM. We still need a van Bommel replacement, but Ambrosini is too old. Oddly, Traore may be our best candidate there. He sucks at LCM or RCM, but seems to do well as an anchor.
As for Cassano, I don't like the idea that we (the club) have no option. I would like to see Milan start a new tradition with him by keeping him against his will. If he wants to be a stink ball, he could stink on the bench. We won't get much transfer fee out of him, and he wasn't the highest salary earner on the team either.
If we really need a backup CF, I personally don't mind Pazzini, but I don't want to gift Inter Milan with Cassano either; I don't mind Matri, but I don't want to fund Juventus, even though I feel that Matri as a Milan product, could be the solution to some extent.
Speaking of Milan product, why not just get Paloschi back? I know that we just sent him out on loan again, but I am sure that we could work it out with Chievo if we are that desperate? This Milan management sometimes does not make any sense.
Also, I read that Mesbah could finally move away to Palermo. I am hoping that it will turn true. Nothing against Mesbah, but I just don't think that he is the right player for Milan, even this Milan.
RE: Summer mercato 2012 - WCmilan - 08-20-2012
Yes traore does suck at rcm and lcm from what I have seen. I don't really see him breaking a starting spot in our team. He's okay at anchor, he cant play rcm and lcm because hes quite terrible at pushing forward. He's pretty fast and quite good defensively and from what i've seen is always in a defensive position, seeing him go forward today he was pretty useless. I think constant is another addition a la nocerino, the guy impressed me a lot when he played for chievo and a lot in the couple games hes played for us hes got good ball control accurate passing a good shot he's pretty fast and seeing as he played at LB naturally being a cam or any position in midfield just shows he can also be versatile. Boateng has had good moments in games but usually fades out, he's had some arrogance since being given the #10
I don't mind though, we all know what he's capable of and when it comes down to big games we see what he can do.ROBINHO, thank god we didnt sell this guy man he made juve defence look like clowns today everytime he was on the ball + a beautiful penalty and an easy tap in goal but none the less 2 goals. He's at the best part of his prime i think these next couple of years will be his best..
On cassano, i find it hard to believe our management would be stupid enough to swap pazzini with cassano, but if i had to predict how the mercato will end i'd say pazzini-cassano swap and we take rossi on loan w option to buy to eventually be cassanos replacement when hes fit. Disappointing mercato, but our mngmt does always say they have plans for the future so i guess that would be a step in the right direction for next season but certainly not this one. Apparently chelsea are still after cavani.. If torres became available that's just berlusconis type of "champion" hyped underperforming world known superstars. I wouldn't be suprised if we suddenly find money somewhere if he became available but even if i doubt it i just cant see any spending happening.
RE: Summer mercato 2012 - xudong - 08-20-2012
There is always money. Money is never an issue, as long as Berlusconi is willing to spend. He just feels less interested, but he does not want to give up Milan just yet, which is why he ordered Galliani to experiment a new way, an ideally self-sufficient way. Unfortunately Galliani has been spoiled in the past with big budget, and certainly had dug some huge holes for himself in the past seasons (that could be the reason why Berlusconi is "punishing" Galliani now), so it will be some tough time ahead for him. However, if Galliani somehow survives the transition and adapts to the new reality with least possible pain, we could have a rather bright (financial) future to look forward to.
RE: Summer mercato 2012 - WCmilan - 08-20-2012
Yes I agree, we have to have some sort of money... Like I said i forget which website I saw it on a few days ago I posted about it a few pages back, it showed we pulled in the 6th highest revenue in the world and we were +29mln, how we are suddenly 60mln in red beats me, maybe berlusconi is trying to cover his 500mln loss?
Also, if Cassano really wants to leave Milan why the hell would he go to inter? They are worst of then us financially and as a team.
RE: Summer mercato 2012 - Aficio - 08-20-2012
I miss Paloschi, too. I dreamed about an attack with Pato and Paloschi. Poor guy, he has been suffering too many injuries that almost stop his progress.
