Summer Mercato 2011
Yeah, I think you guys are right about CWC. It's not a UEFA competition so won't affect his CL status.
Cup tied is stupid anyway. The sooner UEFA change that rule the better it is for all the teams.
Interesting article (though from a suspect source):

It basically says that we are working with Genoa to maybe get Lucas, but the bigger priority is to get Casimiro. Anyone know anything about this casimiro?

i think the rule works well but has massive flaws such as, Milan buy Cassano but can't use him in the CL because he played for Samp in the very early stages but Chelsea could buy Torres and play him in the CL even though he played Europa League for Liverpool, it would be fairer that if you played in one Uefa competition you're tied for all competitions.

"Il Sogno di ogni attaccante e' segnare il piu' bella gol della storia. L'incubo e' incontrare il miglior difensore del mondo."

Quote:Francesco Totti
"Never give up Pippo,You are an example for all of us to never give up."
I don't think the rule is fair at all. Why is it that Cassano can play for Milan in the second half of the season in Serie A and can't do the same in CL. Since Samp also played in Serie A.
I think the winter transfer window allows the teams to address what they need for the second half of the season. For example, let's say Napoli makes it to the knockout stage but get to face Barcelona in Feb. If there is no rule for cup tied players, Napoli can add 1 to 2 players to increase their chances to beat Barca. Vice versa, if Udinese somehow makes it to the knockout round against a relatively weaker team, their owner might think they have a chance to advance further but lack the squad depth to challenge on both fonts, thus sign a few more players( cup tied if old rules applied) and help them further themselves in CL while maintaining a CL spot in the league. Same goes for Europa league too.

True that teams like ManCity or Real might splash huge amounts on players who performed well in the first half like Bale last year. But Spurs must want to sell too. Even if they do sell, they can probably sell Bale higher in the Jan than now, thus they gain more profit. Either way you look at it, the benefits will outweigh all the cons.

"There are no negotiations in place to sign Montolivo,'' Galliani told the club's official website. "Milan does have a vacant place for a non-European player but it's not Ganso.

Casemiro is a box to box midfielder. However inter is favourites to sign him, considering Sao Paolo asks for 20 m euros while their last offer was 14 m euros.

Actually i was expecting something like this. Montolivo is not a mezz'ala. not suited to us. Above all, Fans doesnt want him. There was some reports, a journalist or an agent said that he wanna know why Milan fans doesnt want him.

We need a mezz'ala more than aything cuz we cant depent on old Seedorf for all season. However we have Boateng, El Shaarwy, Robinho for trequartista.
