The AC Milan Thread [2006/2007]

[TheBlueBalla]

Youre linked to both Tevez AND Ronaldo? Two questions...

1. Is Amoroso on his way out
and
2. Is Berlusconi willing to dish out that much cash this late? Cause I think those two would cost you somewhere near 25-30 million

What Ancelloti had to say after the match :

Carlo Ancelotti claims Milan are back where they belong after the Champions League preliminary round, while Pippo Inzaghi was the hero again.

“Now that it’s over, we all feel very relieved, as it wasn’t nearly as easy as it seemed,” noted the tactician after the 3-1 aggregate victory over Red Star Belgrade.

“We have to thank the players and fitness Coaches for working very hard to prepare for a game we hadn’t factored into our season.”

The Rossoneri were set to enter the competition direct after finishing second in Serie A last season, but the Calciopoli trial saw their position change constantly.

They went from total European exclusion to entering via this round, although UEFA released a statement noting they were unhappy with the fact Milan were in the tournament at all.

“We still consider the fact we had to play this preliminary round as an injustice, but we’re back where we belong now and must look forward,” continued Ancelotti.

The club had held back in its transfer campaign until the cash from the Champions League was secured, so now there should be some reinforcements – possibly including Argentine sensation Carlos Tevez.

“The squad proved it is compact, united and competitive. Now we have time to think about other things.”

Once again, Super Pippo Inzaghi was the hero, as he scored both the only goal of the first leg and the opener in Belgrade. Clarence Seedorf rounded out the 2-1 scoreline this evening.

“It’s fortunate we took an early lead, as the atmosphere could’ve caused some problems, but this was a great Milan squad and we performed well in the circumstances. Our fitness levels were better than the first leg and our quality shone through,” said the striker.

Inzaghi may ensure Andriy Shevchenko isn’t missed, but Alberto Gilardino is yet to break his Champions League duck.

“Gila didn’t score, but he put in some crucial work for the team and without him and all my teammates, I wouldn’t be able to get so many goals." said Pippo Inzaghi.

1. Is Amoroso on his way out

If two strikers come he will be, if only one comes not. He could be used in the Oddo transfer since Lazio needs strikers with Tare likely to move to Brescia and Simone Inzaghi wanted by Parma, Di Canio moved to Cisco Roma, so they have only Rocchi left if the two first transfer.


and

2. Is Berlusconi willing to dish out that much cash this late? Cause I think those two would cost you somewhere near 25-30 million

Milan is famous for bringing in players very late, both Nesta and Pirlo were August 31th signings, Seedorf, Gilardino and some other players also came the last week of the transfers.

Berlusconi is obliged to replace Shevchenko by at least one big name, be it Ronaldo, Torres or Tevez, one of those three will come for sure.

In the defense compartment Oddo from Lazio will come almost certain, unless Lazio don't lower their price, the player himself wants to come to Milan and stated so already in the press and in his club.

Then there's of course Braida's surprise, which could be a second of the striker list I mentioned or William Gallas (not likely, I wish he would come but I forsee him going to Arsenal in the Cole deal), however I think there is a big August 31th surprise in the making still, someone no one expects to join us, but I think he will. We'll see.

Ronaldo to Milan is very close I heard. €10m-€15m range.

Not that bad for the price. Please Milan Lab, time for more miracles.

f*ck you, noone's getting Fatty .

 

[jani]

Its on the official website. Galliani has indeed confirmed Milan's interest in El Gordo.

 

[BRAZIL'S_#9]

well calderon has said that ronaldo wants to stay in spain, and that madrid doesn't want to get rid of him. But if milan are willing to let kaka join the spaniards then ronnie wud catch the first train to italy... just a few thoughts

If the Milan Lab can pull that up, there is definetly something suspicious about the place and its technology.

 

[jani]

no dannyeli, I dont think we use banned substances


I think Calderon said something like "Ronaldo for Kaká wouldnt be a bad trade".


This is already a clear sign that he is willing to let Ronaldo go, but only in the hope for the impossible Kaká. It indicates that he is merely using Ronaldo as a bargaining tool. You think Ronaldo likes that?

And Capello also implied "Ronaldo in my knowledge is a Real player, but I only want players who want to stay"

 

[Drvar]

why the f*ck would we need Kaka now in a trade for a striker? we'll be stuck with 5 AM's, and RvN alone up front. when he gets injured, we can count on Beckham 1 freekick a year to get us goals...

 

[jani]

well you guys have Soldado, Portillo..

 

[dannyeli]

no dannyeli, I dont think we use banned substances

I'm not saying anything about substances, more on the line that if the Milan Lab can get back ronaldo into shape and make him again a world class player. That technology has to be from another planet IMHO.

I don't think Milan lab can pull this one up, its almost impossible.

 

[Drvar]

well you guys have Soldado, Portillo..

yeah, again i ask who will we count on to score goals for us?
no offence, but i doubt you'd want to be stuck with Pippo Inzaghi as the only striker, and 2 players from the youth system as your striking team for the year...
it would be almost do-able tho, because of Pippo .

 

[TheBlueBalla]

hmm, did not know Milan made a habit out of last day deals. In terms of Gallas, he will not be going to Arsenal. We have our LB situation resolved, and they are trying desperately to offload Cole on anyone but us in England. If we get A Cole, Gallas will definately not b going the other way, and if he does go anywhere (most likely scenario in my opinion) he will go to Milan. To me that is just a given. I would actually prefer Gallas go to you most of all

Given the fact that Real will try and futily press for Kaka, I can see Tevez being the player you get. If so, I'll be glad for that too because that, to me, is a second rooney

 

[Socrates]

well you guys have Soldado, Portillo..

Both are not with Madrid atm...




But please do take Ronaldo off our hands

 

[jani]

and hope Ruud gets a long term injury so you will have no one to play upfront except for... RAUL

 

[Socrates]

and hope Ruud gets a long term injury so you will have no one to play upfront except for... RAUL

Meh thats fine with me, ( not like Ronaldo does not get injured himself or have other issues )

 

[jani]

we got Magical Milan Lab, man. how can Ronaldo ever go wrong?



I got this joke from another forum :


damn we signed the Bwin deal too early. we should have signed a deal with Bking

 

[dannyeli]

Sheva7 Raul is a God the only madrid player i have forever loved. Anyway if madrid really believed that kaka is on the market of tradable they are out of their minds. I mean, ac milan fans and the club itself can't take another hit like the sheva deal.

Unless Milan have 2 or 3 world class names, and i;m not talking about tevez.... i mean real world class players, kaka HAVE to stay, or berlusconi will get in trouble with the fans.
