Revamping Milan: Who would you bring in?

Arsenal will gladly take him on loan, with Ramsey in support there is no chance of Pato not hiting 40 in a season.



Seriously I'd say that's the best move imo, but I don't want to see him end up at PSG.

Nah, not that big of a loan , they say he might go back to brazil

Pato's finishing isn't THAT good to get 40. Plus, he's not out and out striker. More the second striker/winger type (even if he denies being a winger, how he plays says otherwise.)

Yeah, saw it earlier. Galliani is a transfer genius, but sometimes, he shows way too much patience.

What exactly does Pato do wrong?

I shit you not when I say he cannot go 14 minutes without getting injured. He starts a match or comes on as a sub and 14 minutes tops later, he goes limping off holding his thigh. Yet he's not too injured to party. Strange, isn't it?

Ahaha, I take it that your owner/manager thinks highly of him, meaning he will stick with him though?

It's probably a mixture of both. He didn't have these problems when he was still wiry. It's when he started putting on muscle too fast for his frame. Pato is a good player and has the potential to be world class, but whoever thought it was a good idea that he put on muscle probably needs to be thrown off a cliff. They are ruining his career. But he's at fault as well. He parties a lot. Seen him out a few times myself at 2-3 in the morning, knowing full well he has training by 8.

What's with brazilians and partying, seems as if when they reach a certain level that's all they care about

It's just a cultural thing, really. A lot of the traditional athletes do it. A lot of the MMA fighters don't though. Martial arts and partying doesn't mix. That's why I don't party. I like to be able to not feel sluggish if I throw a punch.

Do you do MMA?

Not professionally. I'm trained in several styles and have military background. I've done a few fights in underground circuits. Of course, my girlfriends never liked it because they don't want my face getting smashed.

Neither would I , you'll never know when you have to do Brokeback Mountain 2, Jake

Well, well, well. Goal.com is reporting that Sneijder wants to move to the real Milan club. I don't know how much credibility Goal.com has but I would welcome the move. Even if it is true though, unlikely that Inter will let him go unless we pay them a ridiculous amount

Quote :

Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he will stick with Milan, although “there is no money to buy the players we need. Anything can happen.”

The Rossoneri and agent Mino Raiola had denied stories he was increasingly unhappy at San Siro after missing out on the Scudetto.

“Milan’s problem is economic,” Ibra declared in a press conference on international duty with Sweden.

“There is no money to buy five players, or even the ones we need. We made a couple of signings, maybe there will be a third.”

Riccardo Montolivo and Bakaye Traoré have both been snapped up on free transfers.

“I guess it’s true that the longer you play together, the more you improve. Just look at Chelsea, who won the Champions League although they were not the strongest team.”

However, Zlatan reacted angrily when asked if that meant rumours of him seeking a transfer were true.

“Without those, you’d have nothing to write about. I am happy at Milan and will respect my contract.

“Anything can happen, but at the moment nothing has happened. I will respect my contract.”

hmmm... they way he says that - least what I interpret - sounds like he isn't 100% happy...

I didn't know Ibra was an accountant or that Silvio was broke. THANKS Ibra

/endsarcasm.

It's not that Milan doesn't HAVE the money. It's Silvio won't spend it. When will people learn this? If Milan had no money, we certainly wouldn't be paying Ibra, Robinho, etc what we were.

I think Ibra knows that. He's probably just trying to pressure ole' Silvio to put some more money in the transfer kitty.

I think Barbara should hire someone to kill him and then take over, personally.

I read somewhere that Ibra was misquoted, at least that's what his agent claimed and he didn't mean it like that. And yeah, Lev's right, we have money, we just don't spend it

Looks like Muntari is staying

According to his agent. Neither the Italian or English have announced him as an official player, so we'll see. We don't need his dirty ass in our classy side.

Thiago Silva has also stood up to Berlusconi, demanding he spend money to reinforce the squad. Finally, players are saying what the supporters have been for a while. The first season we spent real money, we won the scudetto. Our squad is now very depleted. Everyone recognises this but Berlusconi.

Benfica interested in Taiwo. Take the blight from us.
