------------- Ganso ------------
Hernanes -- Diaby -- Boateng

Interesting no?

Too strong to be true Smile I do not believe Milan will buy another DM. And also, I believe Hernanes is just a backup if Ganso transfer fails etc.

But yes, I'd also play Hernanes as a CM, not as a CAM.

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.

Good idea. Perhaps we can gather curse words from our respective countries and mail him. LOL

That will not be necessary, Ibra can curse in Bosnian, Swedish, Spanish, Dutch and Italian...actually I`ve seen him curse in Bosnian so many time...why did he do it in Italian this time....only he knows.
I agree with most Ibra is very moody. If we likes Milan and wanted to stay I'd want him. He gives us that swagger.

But if he was so so about things like he has been lately then Ciaooooo...

I was against VB coming but Im for us resigning him. Wow we look solid in the middle after he came.

Diaby is not a DM. But he is a very good player who would thrive in italy. I think arsenal fans are disapointed because he isn't Vieira. But he's a lot more of a pure CM and attacking one.

We could easily play Diaby, DM, Boateng behind a player like Ganso. Or he could sub boateng. IMO he's a much better player than Flamini, because he offers a lot more technical skill going forward and better passing. Since Flamini cannot play a proper DM it's better we get Diaby who can offer closer to what Seedorf did at LCM in the ancelotti era than Flamini. For me he's a lot closer to Boateng than he will ever be to Vieira type player. He's a good dribbler, has excellent touch (better than boateng). The problem is Arsenal don't really play with these type of midfielders. They want a proper DM or a more creative AM.

Milan in pole position for Pastore

11:45 del 12 aprile

Javier Pastore at Milan? Not only rumors. Palermo's ace is a real target for the Rossoneri as well as Ganso, more than Sanchez and Lamela. Born in 1989, the Flaco would be ideal for Milan, the man that in Allegri's game could pair with Ibrahimovic and Pato.

As usual, the problem is the cost: Zamparini asks for 60 million, but Milan are prepared to invest no more than 30-35. It seems an impossible negotiation, but also Ibrahimovic's acquisition seemed impossible...

Galliani is working to get a huge discount, in the light of the bad performance that Pastore is giving at Palermo in this second part of the season. Many clubs are also interested in him, such as Roma (the new sporting director Sabatini brought Pastore in Italy), Juventus, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, Milan are in pole position.

I don't think we'll buy both Pastore and Ganso. One is enough. And 60 million are too much for 2 players of the same position. We better look for a DM and a LB rather than another trequartista. With Pastore's money all Milan's problems can be fixed. If Ganso joins us, then leave Pastore alone.

I think we're just linked to all trequartista's on market. It's a clear priority. We will get one, I'm still betting it's ganso. But if it was Pastore, I wouldn't complain.

One thing about Pastore. If we got him, we'd need to find a pirlo replacement, cause like KAka, he's not one to control pace of game/ but instead drive at runners and provide final movements...

A Pirlo replacement is something we DESPERATELY need. Van Bommel is doing the job. But he's 34, and will decline sooner rather than later. Do you think Ganso can play that role?

sort of....

i mean for santos and brazil he often plays 4-2-3-1 or 4-2-1-3 role.....

behind robinho, pato, neymar

Sometimes I feel when we're linked to winger types, that's milan's plan....

But also i don't think it's a problem if we play 4-3-1-2 if we have boateng at RCM because he provides a lot of movement and runs up right and robinho/cassano both naturally float left...
