Summer Mercato 2011

[abbeyleemania]

im also supporting this idea about that we should buy both of them... i'd go for Neymar first... cuz he is someone who can rule the Serie A...pace, dribbling, strength, finishing...i want Neymar...

if Juve signs him, i'd be pissed off...i wanted Krasic too much too...but we didnt sign him...Then look at what he did for juve. One of the best players for them, maybe the best...He was only big thread during our games...

Last year, i wanted Hernanes and Krasic too much. i want Neymar too much. hope that he doesnt go to Juve or inter this season...

i wish we could have signed Hernanes... he still would be great signing for our midfield. Ganso on the other hand, someone i didnt watch enough. Because of it, he didnt convince me enough. There were about him that he was injury prone...if Ganso will track back and will be match winner of some games, i'm with his signing. Otherwise, i dont want a weak link in team defence who has vision and great passing ability, or assiting ability... in this case, Milan need one more finisher, okay if Pato stays %100 fit all season, it wont be a problem... But we should think with realities, considering injuries status of Pato, we need one more finisher. otherwise if ibra stops, who'll score the goals? Robinho, Boateng? our midfield doesnt consist of players who score much...

Regarding co-ownership deals, Galliani once said that we made a profit of 30 m euros of that season's co-ownership deals... They are useful as we got Abate thanks to it, we will get Astori thanks to it. They played and improved with Empoli and Cagliari... Loan deals doesnt make teams play youngsters. if they have something to earn from players, they are playing them... Milan can give any young players on co-ownership deals except Merkel, cuz Merkel has great future in short term... Verdi, Albertazzi, Calvano, Strasser, Berretta, Zigoni, Oumadi vs... We got Boateng thanks to Berretta's half... its great for us. we didnt have to pay 20 m euros for a quality player. Boateng is very important player for us... we always had many great youngsters... Do you remember Di Gennaro or Marzoratti? Or Piazza, RB that Arsenal linked once... Nicola Pozzi? Willy Aubameyang or his brother? Romano Perticone, RB and CB who was the captain of our primavera once... Berretta didnt show anything in highest level and however Boateng is one of our stars in highest level... Thank god that we payed his half to get Boateng's half... we have at least 6 m euros saved....

Matri, Astori and Antonelli are there thanks to this co-ownership deals... if we loan them to Serie B sides and or Serie C sides. we could have lost them...Co-ownership deals bring extra money and useful for players...As it forces to clubs to play this players cuz in return they can earn money from them, if they can step up...

This article speculates that we could sign Montilivio as a replacement for Pirlo, but the Fiorentina man is being eagerly pursued by Inter and Juventus. Pirlo's injuries and high salary could see him being pushed out. Gattuso and Ambro will renew. Seedorf will most probably go, and Flamini may as well.

Gattuso already has a contract until 2012... He will renew it?

im expecting Milan to renew some of them, cuz its very risky and not a bussiness Milan would do that not renewing all of them... Pirlo earns a lot... Flamini earns 5.1 m euros... Seedorf passed his best...i'd happy if we sell Flamini and sign Nainggolan as replacement...

There was already talk about Pirlo's replacement since years... First Lucas Biglia,
then Dudu Carenenese, then Cigarini... then Hernanes then Montolivo... Only Hernanes could make it at highest level...Montolivo could be a good squad player at most for us... nothing more nothing less...

it seems Allegri re-asked to Galliani for Lazzari...another squad player...

Regarding Neymar, im seeing Chealse as favourite for him. for Ganso, unfortunately Milan is favourite for me...

[WCmilan]

I'd be happy if we sold flamini and bought Nuri Sahin of dortmund, he's like a direct pirlo replacement with more pace..

Sahin(15mln), Lazzari(10mln), Neymar+Ganso (60mln), Astori back (5mln), Mexes(free), Taiwo ( free)

Total cost = 90m, not bad . If berlu wanted to buy Ronaldo who probably would come any cheaper then that< then im sure its a possible mercato, if we did it that way we'd have a great team and we would have depth up front,midfield and in defense.
I'm against getting montolivo, he's nowhere near pirlo, maybe he will be some day but hes nothin special

----------------Abbiati-----------------
-Taiwo--Mexes----Silva-----Abate---
--Lazzari------Sahin------Boateng---
--------------Ganso-------------------
--neymar------------pato------------- Subs: Ibra,cassano,robinho,gattuso,MVB,ambrosini,nesta,astori,antonini,merkel,amelia.

The big problem is ibra wont accept a bench role. cassano and robinho will eventually complain too.

Hopefully , Galli doesn't lie about sh1t like that.Silva also Said he'll join Milan .

[Kaka1899]

The full article is here, it was in Italian so i've translated it to English for you guys

Galliani on Ganso, the star of Santos. ''I spoke with him before the derby, he hoped to sign the contract and play with Milan. he is back from injury very serious and there are many teams who want to put him under contract, he's finding it hard to make a choice."

Galliani then said that we must take a player like Ganso 'cause they are hardly an equals to him'.

[Gabriel426]

Sign Hernanes, Ganso, Neymar, Mexes, Astori, Mercelo(when Real sign Bale) or Nagatomo.
Sell Cassano, Flamini, Papa, Urby, Dilac and Oddo
Let go, Pirlo, Slowdorf, Janku, Bonera, and Legro.


Then the team will be much better and more cost efficient.

Abbiatti
Abate-Nesta-Silva-Nagatomo
Boateng-MVB-Hernanes
Ganso
Pato-Ibra

Bench: Zambro, Antonini, Yepes, Mexes, Astori, Gattuso, Ambro, Merkel, Pippo, Neymar, Robinho and a GK.

[Kaka1899]

wouldnt we need to sign or renew at least MvB's deal to keep him?

[Gabriel426]

Assuming he would re-sign and play for Milan.

It's funny how everyone wants to let go of pirlo. Do you not remember his form pre-injury? By far his best year since 2007, cause he was moved to LCM not anchor. He was assisting and creating regularly and our attack had organization and flow....

He's not injury prone. Look at his career. Heck look at last year.

Heck, look at Gattuso, he had acl surgery, and at 33 now, he's still one of the best DM in serie a (as evident of fact he leads league in tackles and tackles per minute). And minus joe jordan's unsportsman instigating, he was man of the match v. tottenham, he carried the team and lifted them forward, and you know it.

Pirlo simply needs to renew on smaller wages like what gattuso and ambrosini have and take more of a squad role. Players like him, age VERY well. Look at scholes at man utd, still very useful. Just not depended to play 50 games a year anymore.

He's still the best passer in serie A by far

I absolutely agree with you about Pirlo. Pirlo was great before his injury when he played left CM. In this side, Milan would a lesser risk compared when he played as last midfielder. The most important one, like has been said, he was free to move forward. Great performance from him in the position and also from Milan.

Only Gattuso or Ambrosini should renew the contract, not both. We don't need too many old DMs. Gattuso has been good this year but that position should be filled with an energetic DM who has better ability going forward since centre of midfield Allergi likes to used a DM (Bommel or Ambrosini). Milan should not play 2 very old DMs if Milan want to play in highest level.

Flamini should be sold. He was injured so often and he gets so big salary.
