THE NEWEST AND GREATEST TRANSFER THREAD - 2013 edition

Touché lol

 

Milan will most likely pay €5-6m + Zaccardo for Biabiany. Saponara will go on loan at Parma, but will still be co-owned.

wtf, Biabiany is another garbage player added to the ranks. same with taraabt.

shame about saponara, thought he'd get a few more chances. he looked decent against inter for the most part. seems seedorf doesn't care for him or cristante. sayonara....

 

All attacking players, are we going to improve our defence? Bonera 1st choice defender?

 

I read that Seedorf asked for Taraabt(he has skills, could be good,free) and also he blocked Sapanora leaving. I dont onow anything about Biabiany. Im good with Taraabt because he's an option off the bench for CL since Honda cant play. Also, heard Robinho might be on way out so its a 6month test for Taraabt.

 

Isn't he the guy who completely dissed us back in 2012?

He has a knack for playing for crappy low table teams... like QPR, Fulham

 

Looks like the Biabiany deal is off. Good, IMO.

 

Seedorf: "Cristante has a lot of personality. He's young so we have to manage him in the right way in order to avoid wasting his talent."

Translation. Cristante won't play at all, and will be sent on loan to various teams for the next 5 seasons.

 

Seedorf in his mind-oh my god i have no idea what i am doing right now.

 

It looks to me like they're trying to get a few loan guys to provide temporary depth they can cut loose at the end of the season. Perhaps that's my optimism speaking.

 

We're a joke atm.

 

fighting to stay up.

 

Ay if Cagliari getting oil money you guys will to.....future top 5 in Italy.....Roma, Napoli, juve, Cagliari, and Hellas Verona

 

seems like serie a will turn into the dutch league.

 

it's not that simple. berlusconi is not writing checks to the club any more to cover losses or buy players. they're trying to run the club self-sufficiently to comply with the financial fair play rules. so the sales of silva, pato, ibra, and kaka before them have gone to cover losses due to our obscene wage bill. now they're getting the wages back down to a reasonable level so we're not racking up huge losses every season. that's good news, but at the same time, we still don't have the cash sitting around to spend on players without selling players first. that's why you see the "bargain" players coming in on bosmans or free loan deals. an issue that further complicates matters is that the players we would like to offload are being paid too much at milan so the clubs who do want them can't afford to take them. the players don't want to go to clubs who are less prestigious, and they really don't want to take a pay cut to go to a less prestigious club.

 

I know we didnt spend the monies other teams did, BUT I think we did some quality guys who could help the team. The good part is if not, we didn't lose any $$$ for next season. Honda/Rami will obviously be the top 2 important for team, while Essien and Taraabt are mysteries. Essien is healthy/in form is a top notch midfielder who will do a lot of dirty work in a 2 man midfield, but that's IF hes healthy. Taraabt is an interesting signing. Interesting to say the least. I can't put my mind together to know if he will be good or bad. I'd like to be optimistic and hope he does well, BUT if he scores more than 1 goal, he's out did Matri.

 

I kind of forgot that Rami and Honda were part of this window, those deals have been done so long. I think the incoming is pretty good based on those 2. Wish they could have off loaded more. Hopefully summer.

 

Michael Agazzi has agreed personal terms with Milan. He will join the club in the summer.

Agazzi (29-year old goalkeeper) is expected to sign the contract with Milan in the next few days. It's a free transfer.

 

Agazzi is a great keeper.

 

i'm seeing rumors that puyol wants to join milan. i don't buy into them, and would have welcomed this move if it was like 5 years ago. but then again, a 36 year old puyol might still be better than out CBs
