AC Milan official transfers, rumors, and speculation Thread 6

That's only on paper. Darmian hasn't even made the bench yet in a real game. What I think Berlusconi means is Darmian will be part of the Milan 25 man squad. And since we will be losing a bunch of players in the summer(Maldini, Simic, Serginho, Favalli, and Cafu) there will be alot of spaces to fill in the Milan rotation. We will be losing 1 Milan-trained player and he will need to be replaced in our UEFA 25 man list. Right now we have 4(Maldini, Oddo, Brocchi, and Ambrosini). If we don't have 4 Milan-trained players we have to remove one player from our list for every Milan-trained player we don't have. Chelsea had to do that this year. That's why Ballack wasn't on their CL squad.

 

i dont think ambro does, but i think digao does... but i am not really sure, its all confusing... coz i dont think digao is on the champions league squad

 

If a player was signed at the age of 17 (maybe 18) they count. Pato might count next season.

 

A player must be registered by the club for at least three years between the ages of 15-21 to be considered a homegrown player. Ambrosini came to Milan as an 18 year old so he will count. Pato will only count as a homegrown player when he turns 21.

 

ah.. that clears it up... thanks..

 

Some good suggestions but personally i think Milan would be mad to get rid of Gila, he hasn't had the best of season's so far and argueably the system Milan have been playing dosen't play to his stengths but when you consider Inzaghi is 35 and how unpredictable Ronaldo is, Pato and Gila are the only real long term options Milan have.

Gila is very much a pure striker and i think once Milan start to play more as a 4-3-1-2 we'll begin to see the Gila of old again, plus his overall goalscoring record is still very good.

 

That could be next season depending if Ronaldo gets a new contract or not.

 

Lol, first digao and now the son of kaka's agent, are we going to hire kaka's wife to a front-office position...

 

yeah this is gettin a bit ridiculous

 

I once dated a Brazilian girl from Sao Paolo, whose last name is Gaetano.
No, it's true...

 

So does this mean Milan see something in this kid? Perhaps possibly build him into the squad in the near future?

What does this kid play like, his style? Weakness? Strengths?

 

he has barely played for us, but has two goals... the second one was a tap in, but i think the first one highlights his strengths really well...

that was an excellent goal considering it was a 17 year old's debut... good control of the long ball... he held the defender of for long enough, and scored while evading the attentions of three defenders... not too shabby... i think he can do well if we give him the pato treatment... (not the pressure on pato but how the entire team helps him out)

 

Dida and Gila face Frey threat Saturday 19 January, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milan director Piersilvio Berlusconi warns Alberto Gilardino and Nelson Dida time is running out, while Fiorentina reveal how they could release Sebastien Frey mid-season.


The son of President Silvio Berlusconi made the statements at the presentation of new television channel Premium Gallery.


“I continue to think that Gilardino has not yet given when he truly can,” said the businessman who has been tipped to take over from his father in the future.


“Dida is going through a difficult time and we hope it will pass. He has given so much to Milan, so it is right he remains the first choice.


“We need to give him a little more time, but if the situation does not change then it’s good to look around and see what the alternatives are.”


The warning is stark and it is reported the Rossoneri have already found a replacement in Fiorentina shot-stopper Frey.


So far the Viola have refused to consider releasing him, but there are claims on Firenzeviole.it today that a proposal was put on the table by President Diego Della Valle.


Fiorentina allegedly told Milan they would hand over Frey in January in exchange for Gilardino and midfielder Cristian Brocchi.


However, the Rossoneri turned it down because Frey would not be eligible for the Champions League, as he has already played in the UEFA Cup with his team this season.


It is an issue that can be picked up again in the summer, though, so time is running out for Dida and Gila to prove themselves.


“I think we above all need to reinforce the defence and I definitely like Philippe Mexes and Gianluca Zambrotta,” continued Berlusconi.


“The midfield also requires new signings, but from what I’ve been told that won’t happen immediately. As for Ronaldinho, I have always been cold on him. He’s far too expensive.”


Milan have semi-officially dropped their interest in the Barcelona star, leaving him to Chelsea.

lol im beginning to like Berlusconi's son right now. Lets hope is dad listens to him...Gila and dida out with frey coming in...ronaldinho too expensive....zambrotta and mexes for the defense? haha lets hope he takes over his dads job sooner rather then later

 

Yeah, i saw that too. I agree with him as well although it'll be tough to get Mexes from Roma. Also if we trade Gila we'll only have Pato, Ronaldo and Pippo up front so we're going to have to get a couple of strikers as well because, as we've seen, we can't rely on Ronnie to be fit and Pippo is getting on while Pato is only 18.

 

I still think Pippo and Ronnie will be gone next season.
Why not go after Drogba? He is in his prime, unless Milan
can discover a solid, unknown 15+ goal scorer.

 

I agree, but he will be a super-sub.

 

good interview by silvio jr.
i think they should get frey if they can,cup-tied or not
we should do some long-term thinkin
i also really like Mexes,so berlusconi should listen to Jr

 

^^^ so he is cup tied?! if you play in the uefa cup you are cup tied in cl as well? we had this confusion earlier and i thought it was established that uefa cup doesnt cup tie a player?!
