Dzeko ? Balotelli ?
Firstly, I doubt Manchester City will send both players in the same club, and it would be useful to know if these players apreciate each other ...
Secondly, after thinking about that again, I think these players are not able to give a title to a team, at least not yet ... Balo has proven nothing except that he has no brain in his melon and he has failed in City so far, and Dzeko has been a shadow in City. They're not ready to be the main players for such a club like Milan, they won't give us a Scudetto by themselves, they are not able yet to be as important as Ibra for a team. As a consequence, if they are not good enough to be our main players in Serie A, that means they are not ready to compete in CL.
Better not buying anyone and not selling anyone in our attack than taking these both players ...
And anyway, there's no point for such a deal: Ibra <> Dzeko + Balo ?!
That would mean our roster in attack would be: Pato, Robinho, Cassano, Dzeko, Balotelli + Inzaghi ?! One player is too much (because I count Inzaghi as a bonus) ...
EDIT: Some people will say that Dzeko was the main player of Wolfsburg and managed to do some very good performances in CL ... I'll reply them that he was in Wolfsburg, he was their star player, but he was actually the only star player in that team. In City, there are several players with a big ego, most of their players are also some kind of stars (not the best, but good players), the team isn't built around Dzeko. If Dzeko has failed to integrate himself in that environment, why would he manage to do it in our club with bigger stars and a team built around Pato and maybe Ganso next year (in the case of Ibra leaving) ?
One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !
Geo, i asked you but it seems you didnt see it...
What do you think about Cabaye of Lille? He can be ideal player for us at left side of midfield trio?

I am sure that we will have to buy him. The "option" is not really an option. It would be hilarious if we don't end up buying Ibrahimovic. The relationship between the two clubs will turn sour immediately, which I doubt will happen.
We don't need Balo and Dzeko. Personally I'd rather have Dzeko. I would have said Balotelli 6 months ago, but I just don't trust him anymore.
Yeah Dzeko is not Ibra. He probably won't ever be Ibra skill wise. He's much more direct. But cmon people. If Ibra left we got Pato, Robinho, Cassano. That's 3 world class strikers + Pippo will be back, doing his thing. Don't underrate the quality of Cassano. He's been inconsistent but he also hasn't gotten a consistent run. Beyond that in his inconsistency he's won more than a couple matches for us and has what....3 goals, 6 assists in 600 total mins.
I'd really rather use money saved on Ibra (if we did pass on him) to build a class midfield and shore up the defense. I always prefer to build back forward.
I'd sell flamini too. Renew one of pirlo or seedorF (pains me to say that, but we can't carry both). I'd rather not renew van bommel, but financially we can't do it all so it makes more sense to re-up him and keep ambro and gattuso on lower wages. Then we'd have 3 midfield spots available for a technical cm, A proper AM and a 3rd.
Finally use money to sure up LB and bring back Astori who definitely deserves a shot in the backline.
Heck is Jube are serious on selling cheillini.... I'd rather pay big for him than Ibra. Cheillini, nesta, thiago, abate. STEEL. More so, as Nesta slowly retired, Cheillini slots in as perfect partner for thiago.
What do you guys think about Alan Dzagoev from CSKA?

If you mean that if we have chance to pass Ibra's buy (which we can't), it should be Robinho that leaves Milan since he was surplus. He came after Ibra's buy. I personally prefer Ibra since we don't have a strong striker. I am not sure if Pato+Robinho or Pato+Cassano as strikers will be enough for us to be back on the top of Italy and Europe.
Dzeko we can't buy since his price is much higher than Ibra. Ibra costs 24 mil and Robinho 18 mil although Robinho gets lower wages but if there were chance to buy a striker like Ibra for 24 mil euros (with 3 years installments), we have to take that chance. What I was concerned before his move is only his age (but seeing his price his age is still be ok).
What Ibra needs to cool his head and be a mature man. He should follow Bommel who got so bad image all over the world of football and got sent off in his debut. He since then fortunately played with better controlled emotion. It seems that he learned much from his first game. I never seen him play like this before, a play by a wise man. One of great scene is when a coward like Thiago Motta hold his collar. Bommel just stepped back. I don't know if Ibra got the same treatment. Maybe that coward will never play in a game with Ibra again. 
The point is, if Ibra play with a cooler head, he will benefit us so much just like he did in the first half of the season when he provided assists without too much thinking to score for himself.
"When Costacurta and Maldini won they didn't celebrate much. They were thinking about winning the next game" - Alessandro Nesta
Personally, I think Ibra was pushing himself too hard in the last game. I don't believe one bit that he swore at the refs., but rather he swore at himself and the ref over-reacted.
It happened to me before, as I still regularly play rugby, I always say F this F that, and I got pinged all the time. Then I started saying it in a different lang. and I am fine. Point of the story is that Ibra must start swearing in Swedish and he will be fine.
If you believe everything you read, we could have a midfield like this next season!
------------- Ganso ------------
Hernanes -- Diaby -- Boateng
Interesting no?

Oups, I saw it, decided to reply later, and when I finally posted, I forgot ...
Cabaye is a good player, but like almost all Lille players (only Hazard seems to have everything needed to play in a big club), I doubt they could make the jump into a big club like Milan.
Actually, I'd let all Lille players in their team to make them grow at the same time as their club ... and then, it will be possible to decide if this or that player could be useful in Milan. What I mean is that Lille plays some amazing football when they want, but they play in a low level league, and they haven't been in CL for some years now, their players have absolutely no experience at the highest level (Europa League is far from the level of CL, even if this year, when you watched the 1/4 finals in CL, the level wasn't that high).
One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !
Diaby is a no for me, would rather have MVB or Ambro there instead.
