RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - Dha Brain - 04-06-2011
If milan would go after CR7 it would be a dream , it would also symbolize our strenght as a super club and teach all other clubs no more games ... we are ac milan ! , do it berlu ! , just get a new CB and keep boateng in the process , sell robinho , cassano ,
to form probally one of the most lethal attacks ever seen in the history of football , the pride of this move , would make me cry of joy haha .... !!!
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - mihan - 04-06-2011
Forget Ronaldo, when he holds the ball even Kaka can't join the play. I'd rather have both Ganso and Lucas, just purchase an EU spot from small clubs.
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - abbeyleemania - 04-06-2011
i really dont know why our fans wants to get rid of Robinho...He is one of our most useful players this season...Robinho and Boateng are very important players for our system...They are the players makes Allegri's system work...You cant find a player like him, tricky, fast, someone who track back well... i'd be exremely happy if we can sign 35 m euros cost Neymar... He is the new hit on world football...He would suit great in Serie A as well... He is tricky, fast,stronger, great finisher... we complain about Robinho's finishing but Neymar's finishing is great...
Robinho and Boateng are much important for us...i want them stay for a long time...2 quality players who can decide games though they need to improve on their finishing... also considering its their first season, new city, new club, new culture. that was not that easy to adapt but they did well... They will perform better next season...
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - ACMILAN1983 - 04-06-2011
While there are lots of rumours flying around and lots of wishlists for who people want, I think it's very difficult to actually know who we should get, as there are too many variables in place, namely whose contracts will be renewed and how we intend to play next season.
A big questionmark for me is what our preferred system will be. The 4-3-1-2 has worked well for us in Italy, but in Europe it's highlighted some problems, which we need to resolve with players with certain characteristics needed to make it more fluid and flexible to vary in different situations. Based on some rumours, such as Robben, Lucas and recently Ronaldo, I think there's a possibility Allegri wants to shift to a with greater width, such as 4-2-3-1.
Personally, there are certain players who impress me and I think they could add depth and quality to our squad, as well as develop into stronger first team players. There's no doubt that we need defenders, and in CB's Astori and Mexes would be my picks as backup to Nesta and Thiago and replacements to two of our current CB's (I would say Bonera, but without him we'd lack a CB capable as a fullback). If Nesta leaves we will also need a first choice CB, unless Mexes really can step up.
We also need a LB, and as I've said I think it's Taiwo, although I must question his defensive abilities (something that can maybe be worked on). If Oddo and Zambrotta are off, then a RB backup will be needed too.
In midfield, I'm growing warm to the idea of Fernando Reges (a player hitman is keen on) as a replacement to one of Ambro and Van Bommel. Both are good (even great), but neither is young and I'd like to see a younger player coming in to start taking up the role. Another potential is Poli, who meets the criteria to fulfill the role. Confirming Boateng is a must and if Pirlo leaves, we need a player with the ability to play regista and be a creative player on the field. Montolivo is one option, although I've heard Cigarini mentioned. I'm not sure I'm keen on either, although I would consider them mainly as backup. If Rino stays, then we'll maybe need an alternative destroyer. It'll be interesting to see how Flamini does against Fiorentina in this role, as he's long been touted as Rino's replacement. Otherwise, I'm not against selling Flamini and replacing him with someone we can rely on for this role.
We also need a trequartista to replace Seedorf. Ganso's the obvious choice, although a player like Sahin of Dortmund is also very positive. Lucas is another I really like, and could potentially play alongside one of the other two (albeit we would need to change system).
I think up front we can afford to sell Cassano (who I think was brought due to Pippo's and Pato's injuries) and we'll still be pretty much set with Pato, Ibra, Robinho and Pippo. We have a good balance of first and second strikers, power and pace and players who can move well in wide areas. However, what I don't want is an over-reliance on Ibra as this season.
It's still very hard to tell what we need, but it's obvious we need work mostly in midfield and then quite a bit in defence too.

Important news concerning the next mercato:
- Nesta said he will retire ... but not at the end of this season, he still wants to play even if he thinks he'll need some rest sometimes during the next season(s) and isn't able anymore to play every 3 days.
- Mexes admitted that he will not sign any new contract in Roma, and that there have been a lot of talk about his arrival in Milan, because it's almost for sure where he will go ...
And some talks about Gattuso and Criscito (same agent):
- the agent said it's too early to speak about Russia for Gattuso, which is a weird answer, we're used to read things like "he only wants Milan and wants to stay" ...
- the agent revealed that Inter and Milan are still interested but everything will be decided after the end of the current season.

I feel that Mexes to Milan is a done deal. Though i am not sure i prefer him over Gary Cahill. What do you guys think? Also, how do you rate Criscito?

Of course he's better than Gary Cahill,he is playing in serie A for years and he's adapted to italian football....If gary Cahil is so good he would be playing for Manutd,chelsea,liverpool by now and not bolton....
i don't know how to rate criscito as I have never watched him...
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - theaxeofpain - 04-06-2011
Criscito is good defensively, nothing special going forward.
The 4-2-3-1 isn't a viable option right now. We don't have proper wingers, or at least wingers acting as forwards (Robben for example), nor adequate backup. That's why I think if we want to buy a left back, he must be good going forward, or at least to provide width without leaving too much space behind for the opponents to exploit.

Ok, you have a point there.
So, now...how do you rate Aaron Rodgers over Eli Manning?
RE: Summer Mercato 2011 - russo-neri - 04-06-2011
I really have to watch what I say now because I might offend some people. But I'm just falling over at how anyone thinks there is any chance of getting CR7 anytime soon. First, the UNCREDITTED quote simply said that Berlu would like to see him in Milan. I'd like to buy a ferrari enzo - doesn't mean that it is going to happen. So even if the quote were real (and that's a big if) it doesn't in any way mention that Berlu is seeking to get a deal done.
Second why does everyone assume we are going to spend so much this summer? One of the posts above even goes as far to mention that we should assume Berlu will spend 200 million. Why not assume a trillion? Why doesn't Berlu simply buy a time machine and go back in time and get Pele and Maradona? Seriously - I feel silly having to bring some of you posters back to planet earth from whatever fantasy land you currently reside. This is Milan - we don't spend like RM or Chelsea. We might spend more this summer than others, but almost as likely we could spend less.
CR7 is untouchable right now. Not saying we won't ever get him. But if we do get him, it will be that one year just before he has to go to the US for a job.
I'd rather enjoy the play of Milan than close my eyes and dream what Milan could be like with every single best player in the world. You can call me a bad fan, but I prefer calling myself a realist.
