Summer Mercato 2011

[ACMILAN1983]

Excellent, excellent point. I never thought of that.

lol thanks, but credit should go to milannews and as Hasan pointed out, I made a mistake about Hamsik

The other thing is that both Bayern and Napoli are not in a most sell position for Sweinsteiger and Hamsik. And if they sell them, they actually want to replace them with ready players since they do want to compete. That's why I doubt both teams would want to sell them on the last day of transfer.

As for Honda not raising the level of Milan, Dev, r u serious? Since If Milan signs Honda today, he is right away the best midfielder in Milan. As I really don't see any current Milan midfielder providing what he can. But if you mean compare him to other potential targets, then I understand. I think he is currently just a little bit better than Ganso overall at this moment, while Ganso creativity is way ahead of Honda. As for Hamsik, well Hamsik still has not shine on the big stages while Honda has, thats the difference for now. But Both Hernanes and Cesc are better player than Honda.

Cesc in a Barcelona uniform is pretty scary, as I can see Pep moving Inesita further up the midfield and have a midfield trio of Cesc, Xavi and Basquet.

Good point about Napoli and Bayern's position.

Sorry if I wasn't clear about Honda. If we buy him then our team will improve. There's no doubt about this as only Boateng and Seedorf come close to being able to provide what Honda can. However, when I talk about raising the level of our team, I guess you can say I'm referring to "Champions" as defined by Galliani or Moggi. Essentially, a player like Ibrahimovic last summer, who will not only instantly raise the profile of the team, but is capable of being a player to instantly make a strong impact in the side and be a leader or strong personality on the pitch. As I said, I do rate Honda, but I don't see him making this kind of impact. Hamsik may not be considered of that level yet, but with both him and Ganso I see the potential to become a player of that stature.

Hamsik won't be in the preliminary rounds. Schweinsteiger will be, however.

The suspense continues .

Thanks for the correction, I thought Napoli were for some reason, but it's Udinese.
