Galliani and Allegri are in London now.

Bale, Fabregas or both?

Or maybe they're there to sell Onyewu to Crystal Palace?

Most likely just to visit the Champions League final...

Nice idea

[Best-Pundit]

I think Ibrahimovic should be sold to Man City for 30-40 mil & the money should be used to bring back Huntelaar, Diego & Arshavin

USMNT - United States Men's National Team.

Huntelaar proved not great at Madrid Milan now schalke ..Diego flopped at Porto juve wolfburg ..and Arshavin in a year and a half older than Ibra ...would you really do that trade Ibra scored 21 goals had 16 assists and you want that out of the team really are you serious bro...

After reading the bolded part, I am even more sure not to take your posts seriously. After all why so serious?

Other than the friendlies and before the injury, he played 3-4 times as a substitute. I know this is less than a handful of games but when u manage to do NOTHING right every time, it is hard to wait for a 29 yr-old to improve on that.

He most certainly did not play three or four times as a substitute in competitive matches. He played 30 minutes subbing for Nesta in a Champions League game against Zurich (Milan didn't allow a goal while he was in there, so he couldn't have been as bad as you claim). Aside from that, his only action was in three friendlies in the United States during the summer. He actually did some nice things in those friendlies, although he also showed he needed work in some areas. He was 27 then. So, again, you don't really have anything on which to base your opinion aside from the general attitude he faced from the moment he joined the club which was that because he's American he automatically sucks. Few Milan fans were willing to give him a chance from day one and once he was injured he had no way of improving his game and winning the fans over. So I stand by my assertion that Gooch was an excellent player for Standard Liege, an excellent player for the USMNT. We'll probably never know if he could have developed into a useful squad player for Milan had he not suffered his injury.

And why would you give a thumbs up to a comment about how mediocre Gooch was in MLS when the guy never played a single game in MLS nor was he ever contracted to any MLS club?

I'm sorry Rick if i was too agressive in describing my opinion about the guy, obviously he is an american and you are proud of him and you have every right to be. However, this is still my opinion and it came from me watching him in a Milan shirt (as i never watch Liege or the US team)...official, friendly, whatever.... he looked very vulnerable and poor tactically to say the least....i know players need time to adapt but there were a few occasions where you see him totally lost about how to position himslef and which guy to cover which a 29-28-27 yr-old should know how to do by then

Now if he was excellent for Liege & for the US national team good for him but that does not mean he is a good player...these are not exactly Milan & Brazil...

and my thumbs up for russo-neri's quote is obviously not about the MLS thing but about the joke which pretty much sums up my opinion

I'm not gonna drag on with this debate about Onyewu...the guy will be leaving for sure anyway...good luck for him wherever he goes...

[ElMago99]

Boateng and Seedorf as our two ACM's for next year is a joke... I'd rather have Robinho
