He has being captaining all his life, mostly because he is a leader and is very composed.

True, but he's prone to Red Cards, let's be honest. And with the others I've mentioned, we do not need Balotelli. Am I wrong?

as reported in England, it seems Arsenal were waiting for an improved offer from Barca yesterday and instead received a EUR 40Mio offer from Milan!!!

i don't know if that is true, but it sure is interesting to follow... Smile

Doubt this will happen. Uncle Fester moved to quash this rumor just now

He is a comedian alright, but he seems to know how to get his deals and reduce prices on players. So, I guess all of his mind games aren't just empty words.

It will be a player not at the top of his game. Probably a player past his prime, perhaps bringing back Zidane? Maybe Henry? Beckham? Cannavaro from retirement?
No doubt he is good at making deals, the reason I posted something like that is we believe in the 'negotiating through the media' too much. Presidents of other teams must be very weak if they reduce their prices because Galliani said something to the media. In fact I am pretty certain that rarely happens. Galliani is good at negotiating but this media game has nothing to do with it.

I think the source is the main reason not to bother posting about it to be honest. The Daily Star is about as reliable as tribalfootball or something.

Galliani made an interesting comment lately saying that Mr X isn't yet an established star. That probably means it's not Fabregas or Schweinsteiger although I never really take Galliani's comments too seriously.

Didac Vila has also complained Allegri never had faith in him, but also highly praised Galliani and his son, saying they had an excellent relationship and Galliani's a myth Big Grin
Cassano for Amauri: Let Us Hope This Remains a Rumor
By Franky T ⋅ August 1, 2011
Quote:As I have mentioned before, this time of the year is a trying one as our emotions sway with every new rumour that emerges. In the case of rumours linking Cesc Fabregas to a move to Milan, only excitement tinged with a slight anxiety is felt. Conversely, talk of Amauri being signed by the club brings feelings but of horror and overwhelming anxiety. Even more testing is that the club is, apparently, thinking of trading Antonio Cassano in for the Brazilian born wannabe Italian international.

Aqualani has the characteristics we are looking for... http://www.football-italia.net/aug1l.html
I don't like this IF he is the Mr. X.
A good squad player some more depth but not a player that will make the team play to higher level.If we end up with Aqualani as our midfield signing and only Aqualani , then I personally would of preferred to keep Pirlo .Sure he's older but simply put he's a better player , a fit 32 year old Pirlo >>> than a fit Aqualani IMO.
