http://www.milannews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=87060 galliani will fly out to discuss the mbiwa transfer on wednesday.
supposedly, galliani has increased the offer for the player. if galliani is unable to sign mbiwa, then the alternative is a central defender from cameroon..
******** wat the article says I know Would be very funny if we got Hernanes for 18 Mill + 50's player
That's my Nickname for him.He moves like a 50's player.Just go watch videos of Di Stefano or some other 50's player you'll see the resemblance His body posture is like that of a prehistoric human being
The sale of star duo Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to Paris Saint-Germain, coupled with the arrival of just one high-profile player in the form of Riccardo Montolivo, has prompted many pundits to write off the Rossoneri's title hopes, while some San Siro season ticket holders are even seeking refunds. However, Galliani is of the opinion that last week's 1-0 victories over Chelsea and Schalke has underlined that Milan are still a force to be reckoned with. "In less than a week we have beaten the reigning European champions and the team ranked third in the Bundesliga," he declared. "This confirms the fact that we have a good squad available to us. "[Daniele] Bonera is proving himself to be a great defender, while the defence is holding up well. "In the attack, the fact that we did not give so many points of reference makes us dangerous and unpredictable; midfielders like [Urby] Emanuelson are linking up well. "But obviously the most important thing is always the spirit with which we deal with things." Some Milan fans are still hoping that the club might yet make a major splash in the transfer market but Galliani, who recently argued that Italian sides are no longer in a position to attract the game's biggest names, has ruled out any major investments. "The top players, I have already said, should not be bought, but created," the Monza native declared. Milan, who finished second to Juventus in Serie A last season, will kick off their 2012-13 campaign against Sampdoria on August 26. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3276...-that-ac-milan-still-have?source=breakingnews
Liking the links between Milan and Hernanes/Sahin, I'd love one of these guys to come to the club, if not both. But can't see Milan splashing 25-30m for both, they will go for one, and most likely attempt to go the cheaper option and sign Sahin. Also, thankgod he's increased the offer for Mbiwa, I was hoping we'd step it up to get this guy, he's the CB I would like to come ahead of anyone else.
I've been out of the loop completely this summer. Can anyone give me a quick recap of what's been going on?
thiago silva and ibra were sold... we've signed montolivo, traore, kevin constant, and francesco acerbi. we're linked with mbiwa ( cb ) from montpellier. galliani is going to meet with that club on wednesday, to try to sign the player. lots of rumors that kaka is returning.... that's pretty much it. lol..and the occasional story of tevez/dzeko.
Galliani needs to sign this French defender from Montpellier. We are so close to signing him that it should be done. Supposedly he is the captain of the team which won the Ligue 1 so he has to be decent. I like Bonera and Yepes but they aren't starters for big games. Mexes and Acerbi will be nice, but another CB will be great. I keep hearing Balzaretti doesn't want to join Milan. He supposedly chose Roma, yet hes still thinking it over. I like him and wish he would come. Abate/Balzaretti on flanks will be huge. I like our team now. I think that the players will step up and play to their abilities. With Ibra up top, he made him the focal point. However with Boateng/Urby/Nocerino/Robinho, they will all be able to make runs and swap positions. Montolivio will be able to pull the strings in midfield and "dictate" the flow while Pato/SES will play up top. I think we will be playing a lot of fast moving counter attack style. If we sign a LB or another box to box midfielder (Khedira) than I think we are good. We don't need a trequartista because than thats just another focal point. I think thats exactly what Allegri doesnt want. Tho we shall see...
FFS its "Montolivo" NOT "MontolivIo" And Monty is better in a more adavanced position I'd like him to play as a flexible RCM You know how Xavi plays for Farca he's advanced but he's the one pulling the strings
Sahin? We need an anchor not a Regista....unless we can get somekind of Complete Midfielder which Im all for
Berlusconi: "I consider Boateng as a striker. Berlusconi: "To the fans I say that we have the possibility to create entertaining and efficient football, despite the economic situation." Berlusconi: "We were also thinking about the Financial Fair Play, when we sold Ibra and Thiago. This was the last year where a club could make such an astronimical offer like PSG did." Berlusconi: "With this sacrifice that we did by selling Ibra and Thiago, our finances will be in order for the next 3-4 years." Berlusconi: "My heart cried when we sold Ibra and Thiago Silva, but we're convinced that we have great players in the squad." Berlusconi: "We won't feel that we're missing Ibra in the attack. As for the defence: we believe in Acerbi." Berlusconi : "Milan is the most successful club in the world, and I'm sure will continue to be on top" Berlusconi: "We'll keep searching for bringing great champions to Milan" Berlusconi: "Foreign investors? We have the doors open for the ones that want to give a hand to the team"
OFFICIAL: Taiwo joins Dynamo Kiev on a 1-year loan deal with a buy-out clause. Dynamo Kiev will pay Milan €0.5m to loan Taiwo for 1 year. The buy-out clause is set at €2m to be paid over 3 years
I'm kind of glad i've been gone all summer. this whole transfer season sounds so depressing. just reading these two pages has put me in a down mood
Nicollin wants €18m for Yanga-Mbiwa which Milan consider excessive. Milan's offer is in the vicinity of €6-7m. [Sky] http://www.milannews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=87154 Galliani will not travel tomorrow to France,their demands are to high.
Other defenders I'd rather have for that price. Especially one from Brasil. They won't get 18mil for Yanga. They didn't even get that for Giroud.
galliani already told them we're not spending big on this guy. he said if we can't make a reasonable deal, we'll sign him for free next summer. that's the ultimate trump card. the guy wants to come play for us, and knows we want him. it's either get a little for him now or lose him for free next summer. your move, frenchie. also, balzaretti just signed for roma. so he's out as a potential left back. who else is out there that would be a significant upgrade over antonini and mesBAH? is that where ogbonna plays?
