Hulk is way too expensive in any case. In the end , it's probably Galliani trolling us again and it's just Rami and Honda .

His last troll ?

I don't know about the winger , but i would like it if we sold Zapata and got Astori , even if it is an extremely difficult operation for all sorts of reasons.

Galliani's last troll of the dice.

Also, no to Astori. No. No. No. Not good enough. Better to buy youth or promote youth.

by Dante Thu 28 Nov - 6:26:56

Even if we sold Zapata? He could be our next Bonera worst case scenario Laughing

Anyway , there's background with regards to Astori , which make it very difficult even if they wanted to sign him in January. There's a reason Milan never officially asked for him after Allegri joined , he was part of the agreement for Allegri to join Milan. It was vastly speculated that Galliani agreed to give him the other half of his contract(which happened later) and never ask for him again unless he wanted to sell.

Allegri was sacked but was under contract with Cagliari at the same time and some indifferencies with Cellino after they reached stay in Serie A , meant he threatend the whole transfer by keeping Allegri under contract for his last year and Galliani appeased him this way Laughing

anyway , i've seen his bs from time to time , but i believe he can be better than Zapata and Zaccardo , which is positive. The thing is , if he's worth it to spend on him and what would be the price before anything.

We need 1st team players now, not depth signings. We have enough "depth".

by Dante Thu 28 Nov - 6:59:05

We got Rami though. So he either meant Rami or "depth"

lmfao he was trolling again Proud

AC Milan defender Cristian Zapata has dismissed talk of a January move to Manchester United, insisting he has no intention of leaving.

Reports in the English media suggested on Sunday that the Premier League champions had recently sent coach Phil Neville to watch the 27-year-old in action with boss David Moyes keen to bolster his ranks.

However, the Colombia international - who can play at both centre-back and full-back, has played down the speculation.

When asked about a link with United, Zapata told reporters: "No, I do not know anything. I just think about Milan. I have a contract until 2016 and I want to stay here."

Zapata was speaking after Milan drew 2-2 at home to Roma on Monday night, a result which leaves them 10th in the table.

Rumours have it we are close to snapping Torino left-back D'Ambrosio... Anyone has an idea if he's any good?

I see it as a pointless transfer since we are covered in the full back position unless Allegri is planning on using De Sciglio as a full time RB and offloading Constant

YES YES YES. A good player and he's running out of contract. Get on it.

by Kaladin Wed 18 Dec - 2:26:55

This maybe due to Abate's contract expiry in the summer. Hinting that he might leave and we will replace him with D'Marzio

Yeah like a RB is what we need right now...

Replacing Abate with D'Ambrosini, I'm not happy.

by uzonero Wed 18 Dec - 16:52:37

This doesn't make sense.. We should be trying to work out a new contract with Abate who has proven himself a true rossonero instead of signing someone who is yet to prove himself and isn't exactly young

by Forza Thu 19 Dec - 3:07:26

OK, there seems to be some confusion here.

1. The name of the player is Danilo D'Ambrosio.

2. He is 25 years old.

3. He can play both LB and RB.

This is a very good purchase for us.

Some of you are saying that this will force Abate or MDS out, but that's not true. How often have we actually seen those 2 playing at the same time this season? Very rarely. Our back-ups (Emanuelson, Constant, Zaccardo) are all below-par. D'Ambrosio would be a quality addition to the team and on a free transfer, I can't see why we shouldn't get him.

we got a serious problem with our club which selects player based on one-season wonder. prior to this 6 month. he was absolutely unheard of. at 25 and just torino as a team has been spectacular this season, he has been recognized but not to the extend that big clubs are dying for.
thats a problem.
I got the feeling that he is going to be in the same category as that of emanuelson, constant, zaccardo.
if he is a great player, he would absolutely not be in the situation of being A FREE TRANSFER!!! torino would have either extend his contract, or sold him by now to make profit.

thats the reason why our club has a problem, players we have are incompetent selected based on form, and not class and quality. thats why braida should leave. even galliani shouldn't be ok with these kind of transfer.

I still have no idea how the hell they even approve this kind of transfer. we are basically piling up the squad.

true... i absolutely agree 100% with that. abate is on the brink of being free.

why the hell that torino player is a target i have no idea. besides there are much better player than him doing well. actually its the team effort that torino is stealing the limelight. and not that player.

this really sucks. this is exactly the reason why i am supporting barbara and not galliani. she has every reason to get pissed off. because everytime we pile up players based on form, and not quality, at some point they are going to show their true color.

that guy is finally getting recognition. 25 years old..lol. thats not good enough for me. not good enough for club like ours.

torino are not stupid, they are not going to get go player for free if he was quality

Not only this, but if you guys have watched Torino you'd realize he's been a revelation this season. He's there 2nd best player after Cerci, he would be a great purchase for free.

by M99 Thu 19 Dec - 9:53:50

I know he is good. Jonathan, that Swiss RB from Genoa whose name I can't spell and D'AmbrosiniMarzio have been revelations at fullbacks this season. But don't we have more pressing needs than fullback?

by uzonero Thu 19 Dec - 12:22:48

I haven't watched him so I really can't judge him but if his arrival would mean Abate's farewell, then no thanks

by baresi Thu 19 Dec - 13:33:01

D'Ambrosio's move could involve Zaccardo, not bad imo.

Anyway the crazy news is how much Galliani is offering to get Nniangolan, ladies and gents Galliani decided to open his wallet wide and us offering a conditioned 2 million euros. Laughing

His condition is we must qualify against Atletico.
How can we not love him with all the laughter he offers?

Sky Sports Italia: Clarence Seedorf has signed a pre-contract agreement to take over as the coach of AC Milan from next season onwards.

by M99 Sat 21 Dec - 18:41:35

Massimiliano Allegri has expressed his discontent at the size of his AC Milan squad as he prepares to face city rivals Inter on Sunday.

The Rossoneri have signed Adil Rami on loan from Valencia ahead of January and Keisuke Honda from CSKA Moscow, but the San Siro coach has no interest in additional transfer targets as he thinks his squad is already too inflated.

"We have to reduce the squad size, and I will talk with the management about it. Our squad should consist of 24 to 25 players," he told reporters on Saturday.

"I don't want to talk about [reported Milan target] Radja Nainggolan because he is a Cagliari player, and I don't want to disturb him.

"We have talked a lot about the transfer market, but the management will take care of that. Rami and Honda are two good signings.

"Mattia De Sciglio and Stephan El Shaarawy have barely played this season [due to injury]. Our squad will be complete in January when our injured players return."

M'Baye Niang broke into Milan's first team quickly last season but has been used far fewer times this campaign and Allegri believes a loan move to Montpellier - which is on the verge of being confirmed - will aid his progress.

"Niang to Montpellier would be a good choice for him," he added. "Niang started well at Milan, but then he perhaps felt too much responsibility."

The Rossoneri are languishing in 10th place heading into gameweek 17 and rumours have linked the club's former midfielder Clarence Seedorf with Allegri's job.

Defeat in Sunday's Derby della Madonnina against Inter could pile even more pressure on the head coach and Allegri has demanded an improvement in performance.

"It's very unlikely that we will win tomorrow against Inter if we play like we did against Roma," he added. "We made many mistakes in that match.

"Now our job is to climb up the Serie A table, qualify for the Champions League quarter-final and reach the Coppa Italia final."

by M99 Mon 23 Dec - 19:22:14

Niang is off to Montpellier on a 6 month loan. Best move for all parties.

by M99 Mon 23 Dec - 22:02:09

After closing in on M'Baye Niang, Montpellier want to loan another AC Milan player. Cristian Zaccardo, world champion in 2006, seriously interests MHSC's directors. The discussions will take place next week.

Robinho has refused to rule out a return to Santos - even though he only signed a new deal with AC Milan in the summer.

The Brazil international penned a contract extension in July that binds him to the Rossoneri until 2016.

However, there has again been talk that Robinho could rejoin Santos, and the attacker freely admits that his love for the Brasileiro outfit remains undiminshed.

"It's the club where I grew up," the 29-year-old told Globoesporte. "I have great respect and affection for the fans. We'll see.

"I think it is difficult now, though, because I have a contract with Milan. But the future belongs to God."

Meanwhile, Robinho confessed that Milan cannot wait to put 2013 firmly behind them, given Sunday's derby defeat against Inter saw the Rossoneri go into Serie A's winter break 13th in the table, just five points above the relegation zone.

"Things have changed a lot," the former Manchester City man mused. "We're not having a great year.

"Even though we have qualified for the next round of the Champions League, we have only a few points in the championship.

"There's still a long way to go, though, and we hope to improve in the future."

Milan will meet Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League and Robinho is well aware that Massimiliano Allegri's men face a tough task in reaching the quarter-finals at the expense of one of Europe's form teams.

"Spanish teams are always difficult to face and Atletico have a great team," he enthused.

"The further you go, the more difficult the games become, but we're used to this.

"We must be careful because we will be facing a club with great strikers. We will have difficulties."

by Forza Tue 24 Dec - 5:50:47

Robinho GTFO

Good loan move for Niang, Montpellier can have Zaccardo outright of they want him.
