Breaking:
Sky Sport 24 just reports Boateng, Robinho, and Cassano want to leave, Boateng to Real Madrid while Cassano will go to Sampdoria. Robinho is in talks with Santos as he wants to play on a competitive team before Brazil World Cup 2014.
Meanwhile, PSG has made contact with Luka Modric, since talks have broken down with Real Madrid (they've turned their attention to Boateng)
Plan for next year,
__________Ibrahimovic___________
_______Lavezzi___Pastore________
____T.Motta__Sissoko___Modric___
Maxwell___T.Silva__Alex____Maicon
____________Sirigu______________
Carletto's Christmas Tree de Paris they're calling it.
Not one player speaks French
Sirigu does ... It seems he learned very quickly !!
So the whole story about PSG-Ibra-Thiago-Milan isn't over yet. The fastest it will end, the best it will be !!

Galliani wants Tevez to replace Ibra, while Allegri prefers Dzeko. Apparently Rolando of Porto and Papadopoulos of Schalke are possible replacements if Silva leaves. In addition there are reports that in negotiations with PSG Milan have asked them to drop their interest in Verratti so that we could get him.
The other rumour was that Verrati was very close to sign to Juventus and Milan asked to Leonardo to make a bigger bid for the young player to avoir Juventus to get him ... It can explain why Ancelotti firstly said that Verrati wasn't the kind of player he was looking for (no experience enough).
In France, they report the doctor of PSG will be in Brazil today to make the medical visit with Thiago Silva before the end of the day ...
I'd like so much that all that was a plan by B&G to sell Ibra (you want Thiago ? Take Ibra too !! Two offers, MIlan accepts both, Ibra is the first to sign, and Thiago refuses ...), but it's unlikely to happen.
So depending on the sources, there are two different versions of the story (in France, Thiago Silva is already a PSG player or almost, and the agent says there is nothing for moment).

They might have sold Ronaldo but they also got players to replace him. Also during that time, Barca did won a few domestic trophies just not CL. Kluivert, Rivaldo, Figo, DeBoers, Cocu, Luis Enrique, Guardiola...then they signed Saviola, Marquez, Dinho, Deco, and Eto. It is true that none of those players really broke the bank for Barca except of DInho and Deco but at least they continued to sign players who fills the holes in their starting 11 with the money generated from signing their top players. Something I really don't see Milan will do.
1999 was their last Liga title, they won nothing between 2000 and 2005 and didn't end 2nd of La Liga each time. I may be wrong, but Barcelona had a bad moment at the start of this century, and a few years later, medias claim they are the best team ever ...
They worked during that time to come back stronger than ever, and that worked. That doesn't mean if we do the same thing, that will work, but I think there are some points that should be copied and reproduced in Milan (and other big clubs).
One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !
