Mercato Rossonero: Milan Transfer Activity Inside Out

honestly is a 4-3-3 for milan THAT BAD? robinho-balo-el sha up front is pretty impressive. I do think that you guys desperately need Honda for depth and tactical flexibility as this guy can play any where. I am beginning to think Berlusconi needs to sell Milan but i don't wanna get into that, that has been killed that subject on forums. But if you guys qualify for champions league and can't buy two players for a combines fee of 15-20 million and players that are desperately needed is worrying because in today's footballing world that is 1 fee for not even a world class player

robinho deal collapse was super frustrating. he doesnt play often, if he plays he is not that effective. and he earns like more than 4 million plus bonus. and he is a sub! and because of this, it may have just ended ljajic to milan pursuit.

this sucks!

read somewhere that, milan wanted like 8 million and santos only wants to pay 6 million. plus read that we wanted santos to pay the fee all at once, while they were expecting in installations.
and robinho's salary demands didnt help the cause either.

bloody binho

Robinho just seems very detached from matches... though he did help us a bit last season, i don't know if that will be beneficial for both parties. The player wants to go home, we want teh moneyz. But goddamn Santos couldn't fork over 8 mil for Robinho even after offloading bloody Neymar. I just feel like he's going to kinda 'disengaged' in his performances next season. Plus i want a certain player with Egyptian roots to wear that #7 shirt  

Oh great. Robinho deal collapses, meaning we have his disgruntled ass stuck for another year while we won't get Ljajic, meaning he will stay at Fiorentina, our direct rival while Galliani being Galliani, wants to get Honda for free at January meaning we will once again have a cup tied player

Keisuke Honda's agent just arrived at Via Turati. He will now have a meeting with Galliani.

Honda has agreed to sign a contract with Milan until 2017 according to @carlolaudisa. His agent / brother is at via Turati right now.

gET IN THERE hONDA M8

let me just stand behind this and.......





i was all in for robinho to leave and for Ljajic to come, but you know what? if u look at things, whats the point of having Ljajic?? here an example. since Milan will be playing 4-3-1-2 our 2 starting strikers will be balotelli and El Shaarawy right? Balotelli's sub will be Pazzini and for El Shaarawy it will be Niang/Robinho. dont forget Niang guys, hes only 18 yrs old, he needs to play and im not ready to give up on him. plus if he rots on the bench its just wasted. as far as im concerned, its more easier to bench a 29 yr old Robinho than a 21 yr old Ljajic. so right there you see Ljajic will not find to much room. cuz personnally im not ready to give up on Niang. now some ppl r gonna say ya well Ljajic can play Trequartista. oh ya? well guess what. Saponara is a TQ and so is Honda who is for sure gonna come too. so once again, where r u gonna put Ljajic?? Honda is class and will have the starting job. and i want Saponara as a vice honda not Ljajic (ill always root for an italian youngster instead of a foreign youngster)

think about that guys, and trust me its not so bad as some of u ppl make it out to be. Ljajic really wasnt needed.

thats my opinion. now, im standing behind captain america shield so BRINGGG IT ONNNNNNNNNNN LOOOOOOOLLLL

No, you're right. We're going to have A LOT of young forwards next season. The perfect balance is a mixture of old and young, really. Though i dislike the fact of Robinho staying

I suppose we have to make the best of it

if we extend his contrat and he willing to slash his salary from lets say 4M to 2.5M im good with him staying.

The funny thing is, Robinho on form is almost impossible to stop. Just can't finish to save his life.

Was really looking forward to the next Mats Hummels

he'll be back

Leader of Les Enfants Terribles says Milan will still get Ljajic

LMAO, that was quite a response by Umbero Gandini. problem finding a buyer is a problem of our own making, cause we made mediocre players filthy rich enough for other clubs to even take those players into consideration.

still not loosing hopes on Ljajic. hope he doesnt renew and play another season in Fiorentina. then if his personal ambition is not matched by Fiorentina, milan can be ready.

on this matter though, our club, galliani has been super classy to first take consent of the club, and making a proper inquiry before asking player's agent. most clubs dont do that and just make offer to player already.

I am really gutted on this deal. bonera should have been asked to leave. Having seen Salamon, he really looked really promising. He has so far featured in World Cup campaign playing some impressive games and good minutes, and importantly consistently!

well its a co-ownership so i guess its still not the worst of the deal... we got poli and we didnt have to pay much:D its a good job by galliani.

but idea of loosing salamon in the future doesnt impresses me because I feel, at some point we will have to loose mexes or wonder if zapata can maintain his consistency.

when most players enter 30 , and especially those who has already are past their best, they know that there arent big clubs looking for them and that they are not going to match their salary. so players look for excuse... i dont wish to see that happening in milan lol, i mean all these years i feel we have been played around by some players... extending their contract...

we got sweet deal going on with young players now so, if robinho leaves in this market even on small sum, i think it would be great.

its such a pain that Honda will only join in January, but at least now we will have a decent midfield and attack  in CL.Our defense is till a joke though

hes only 29, and from the rumours i saw there only looking to extend his deal to 1 year lol. its not like as if hes gonna stay until 34. next summer hes gone

Honda will be cup-tied I believe. Getting Honda and CB is a must. Otherwise we are going to see Bonera at CB and Princd at CAM. Fix those 2 positions and our team becomes twice as good.

I don't know why we are being so cheap with Honda. Who the heck do we expect to play at trequartista? Saponara is a huge gamble. Prince is not a gamble cause we know he's gonna suck there but will play him anyway because we're too cheap.

What happened to the champions league money? How is it that Sunderland andSwansea can spend more than us? Berlusconi is milking this club for all it's worth, it's an utter disgrace. If we had any sign of ambition we would sign Honda NOW. It's 3-4 million ffs. Not to mention all the marketing revenue. Why us galliani so damn stupid blind and ignorant. Maybe he gets good deals for players sometimes, but his ability to see gaps in the squad, gaps that any pedestrian fan can see, is pathetic.


How can you say we're well covered in all departments when you have only one creative midfielder ( barring Bryan and Riccardo), and Bonera as the first sub? Literally he has lost his mind. Just be honest and say our team has massive holes but we don't have te money to fill them. Be honest.

It's because milan still haveto play a qualifying match to gain entry into the ecc... only after then can the club spend the money but still im sure milan has other ways of gaining revenue other then the champions league what about sponsorships tv deals and the like surely all of it doesn't go into these "debts" and player wages. And what is the point of a club ammasing wealth if they aren't going to spend it improving the team and football ground etc. you never no who is making money off what in football

inb4wegoonaspendingspreeinthelastweekofaugust

im in, cuz thats whats pretty much gonna happen

I guess the reason why we're postponing the Honda transfer is because Galliani is looking at the deal from a financial perspective, rather than from a sporting one. Also the like of Swansea and Sunderland spend way more because of the ridiculously expensive TV deal that the PL signed recently, and us mentioned by Marottalad, I don't think we get a substantial amount of CL money until we reach the group stages (not sure). And the negligence might be because of our team's ridiculously consistent run in the second half of last season

Iličić to Fiorentina is almost official for 10 m   , Why would they sign him if they are not offloading Ljajic?
