Summer Mercato 2011

[Jim_UK]

If it's true that we've been linked with Vertonghen then that would be a great buy. Plus i don't see why he'd cost 20 million euros when his old CB partner Vermalen cost Arsenal 10 million euros (rising to 12 after a little while).

Lets also face it, you're not going to get a quality player without paying a decent sum of money.

There seem to be one or two possibilities about Nasri, now this would be a great option for us. I don't think it's likely for next season, but then you never know. GeoTav, i wonder if you've heard anything about this?

As for Ronaldo, he'd be an amazing purchase but i can't see it happening - well not until he's 30 and can't run anymore! Berlusconi always has his dreams about who to buy, some he gets his way with, others he doesn't.

Finally, if Coentrao has joined Bayern then that's disappointing, especially when Rui Costa is basically their director of football/transfer man and we could easily have dealt with him.

P.S. Not sure who spoke about Man Utd & Barcelona being in the top 4 teams of Champion's League history but those two aren't even in the top 5! Liverpool, Bayern & Ajax all come before those two teams!

Cissokho doesn't convince me ...
And since yesterday, he is in a bad story with fans, he insulted some fans before the training session (fans are angree because of the results of Lyon, and in France, when fans are angree, they insult the players during the training sessions ... but this time, it's Cissokho who insulted the fans).

I don't want this guy in Milan, even if he is going to be clearly better than Antonini in long term, he has no brain, he sometimes has very bad performances (which is a problem for a defender), I already saw him arguing with some partners during games, and now this story with the supporters ... For me, talent is there but he isn't a player able to support the pressure of a big club. Lyon is the biggest club in France, and alongside Marseille, it's the club with the most pressure from the fans because they want their team to win the championship each season since their seven-title-in-a-row run ...

There are better players in Italy to be honest (Balzaretti ?) ...

To me Nagatomo is probably the best LB option for Milan.
1. He will not take up a non-EU spot, but that does not really matters as I am sure Berlu will pull another Boateng if he wants to get more than 1 non EU player.
2. He will open up the Japanese Market
3. He is a very good LB and IMO the best LB in Italy.

The thing with Coentrao is that, if Bayern offered 20mil while Milan offered 10mil. It does not really matters who the director of football is.

5M+Flamini on Sandro
10M on Nagatomo

That's never going to happen! Flamini's an ex-Arsenal player and you think he'll play for Spurs?!

I'd be surprised if Inter didn't sign Nagatomo fully, but then you never know!

Not sure Lazio would let Hernanes go for 20 million either, might be a bit more than that. Also not sure we'd get Lucas for 8 million, i'd have thought we'd need a much higher figure.

Finally, why sell Emanuelsen? He's a great squad player for us with his pace and versatility.

[ACMILAN BEST]

I will chose Ganso+Lucas+Neymar over Ronaldo!
Even only Neymar over him!

[Kaka1899]

i dont know where is best for this rumour but either way here goes, a Brazilian TV Channel is claiming Seedorf has reached an agreement with Corinthians and will move there next season on a free transfer.

[Jay Crisp]

Yep Seedorf to Corinthians ..his wife is Brasilian aswell so that may be a factor.

[Beppe]

Seedorf leaving would be a good thing, he still had his moments and games but even more bad ones. I hope he returns one day in another role. Seedorf, Legend!!

Article taken from here

Santos starlet Paulo Henrique Ganso is growing ever closer to Milan after falling out with his club.

The 21-year-old playmaker is one of the brightest talents to emerge in Brazil in recent years.

Inter have also expressed an interest in signing Ganso this summer.

He has made no secret of his desire to leave for Europe, much to the disappointment of Santos supporters.

Last week, they held a protest and called Ganso a 'mercenary'.

Consequently, Ganso's entourage has been persuaded to accelerate their efforts to land a move to Europe.

[ACMILAN1983]

Lets assume, Berlu spend 200Mil on the squad this summer.
100M going to CR7
20M on Hernanes
5M+Flamini on Sandro
25M on Robben
10M on Nagatomo
8M on Lucas, if that agreement about not signing Ganso is true.
0 on Mexes and Astori
Trade Papa for the 50% of Boateng
Sell Cassano for 15mil

While letting go of Pirlo, Seedorf, Janku, Oddo, Bonera Dilac, Urby and Legro.

I honestly don't believe Berlu will spend anything even close 200m this summer, and in all honesty I have no belief in the Ronaldo rumours either.

as I said before I think we'll see Taiwo in Milan because he's free, has power and pace and could be considered a player which will work well in Allegri's system, as he'll offer more direct runs on the left wing.

[abbeyleemania]

i dont see us spending 50 m euros, but you talk about 200 m euros... Wow...it just happened because of a rumour, which Berlu said that he would like to have Ronaldo to his close friends...Whos this close friend? They dont even name him...But we believe in them at first place...

Taiwo, Cissokho, Kolarov whoever comes, he will increase quality on left side... i want both wings works well both offensively and defensively...Taiwo free, Cissokho and Kolarov at most 15 m euros...

Astori and Mexes(whos out for 5 months and it may cancel his transfer) are low cost so they wont be problem for us at all...

Ganso or Lucas or Honda or Eriksen or Lamela, as we linked with many, This transfer will cost us 20-30 m euros... if we dont sign Ganso, others will be cheaper...

Regarding midfield, it would be nice if Seedorf goes and Milan signs a quality box to box for a cheap price...Nainggolan for CM would be good addition...he is quick, good tecnique and very dynamic, handworking player...

-Mexes
-Astori
-Taiwo/Kolarov/Cissokho
-2 way midfielder.
-Nainggolan.
-Ganso/or whoever comes from our list...
-Vice ibra...

Fees depents on signings... Taiwo is free...Nainggolan, Honda who can also play at midfield trio... 50 m euros and using players like Papa, Borriello, Bonera is enough for this signings...
