Didn't Galliani say last season that we would sign one of Beckham/Figo/Ronaldo??

Yeah,he did say that.

No, he didn't. He said that two stars would come, without naming players. Galliani's not stupid enough to say publicly who Milan are really after. For one thing, the players' fees would increase...

Rumour sites like soccerage speculated (or invented) that it would be one of those three...

It could be Stam + Emerson.(Both will be free agents and Milan likes free agents.. )

No, they aren't free. Both contracts end in 2005.

Actually I wouldn't mind seeing Cassano in rossonero.

But the chance of signing him is probably 0%

Velez Mostar · May 1, 2004

I think Galliani & Berlusconi want to see the Portuguese duo Rui Costa - Figo star for Milan next year..And we need a winger sorely + he mentioned 2 stars, something players like Rothen, Gilardino, Chevanton ain't...

Hmm...It looks like we'll op for Figo, but I don't like the idea of bringing in old guys like Stam & Figo..

Rather Ferrari & Emerson!!

I'm sure Stam is one of them (champion in his own kind of way)

The second might be a striker since Beslusconi wants Milan to play with two strikers. But since both should be 'champions', I expect a big name. However I can't think of some, Chevanton or Gilardino are strikers who jumpm into my mind, but they aren't really regarded as champions.

I am agree with u... the only thing I don't want is to see Hernan Crespo playing for milan... :head:

Besi · May 1, 2004

From official site:

According to the coach 'Milan must not feel the pressure as they have a good advantage and are playing at home.' The Totti-Kaka match-up ('Francesco has matured while Kakà can grow and still improve. It would be beautiful to see them playing in the same team one day') and a glance at the transfer market ('Crespo? No possibility. The forwards we have today will remain.')

Hey hey this means something.. :tongue:

Emerson's 28 years young.

Rivaldo-11 · May 2, 2004

Emerson is 28 this year....as it Totti.....Sheva.....Tomasson.....Nesta.......Seedorf

So your calling all of them old?

Interesting! I want to see that also. But if Totti comes, I think there will be too many good play makers in Milan.

Chevanton n Stam...
Yeah..I think

Seamus · May 4, 2004

This is not Real Madrid. We are not going to sign a big name player just to sign him. Last year our 2 biggest defesencies were right back and a midfielder who could score. That's what we got, because thats what we needed. This year, from what I can tell we need a central defender and another striker, so that's what I would bet we are going to get.

Stam is most likely, but I agree that a younger player might not be as good now, but more valuable in the long run. Forward I would guess either Chevanton or Fabiano, but there are so many out there it's anyone's guess.

I really don't see Totti as on option as he going to want to be the team leader and he can't do that here. He's got Maldini, Ambro, Gattuso in front of him, so he's not going to be able to take command like he's used to. Besides we don't need an attacking midfielder anymore.

Rivaldo-11 · May 4, 2004

Whether we need him or not...Totti is always wanted on anyteam...but i would love a central defender.....Stam AND a younger one......ie Ferrari or even Kompany.....and a striker

morientes end rotten will please me :devil:

Rothen. Jérôme Rothen

Fighters like him with vision, speed + great technique + passing etc etc are a rarity. If Galliani + Braida were smart they would not hesitate to sign him... but... :rolleyes:

Well, maybe in 8 years, then he'll fit in age-wise

And Morientes has finally convinced me. It only took about 5 years + a move away from the galaxy

I'd even bench Sheva for him... sometimes. And Pippo too

Gatorbasu · May 6, 2004

I haven't seen ROTHEN much. But boy oh boy, what a game he had against CHELSEA.

Even though, to comment on a player someone should watch him play in a considerable amount of games.

Still I would say that he is really good but he doesn't play in STRIKER's position. Rather, he is a play maker who plays on the left hand side of the midfield. If he comes to MILAN, then whole chemistry of our midfield with PIRLO, GATTUSO, SEEDORF and KAKA would be altered.

Well, KAKA does play up a little bit from the center of mid field sometime. But can ROTHEN fit in with our system if we decide to go with only one STRIKER and KAKA upfront ????

milanist · May 6, 2004

Well, Rothen is a fantastic player, but I doubt Monaco will want to sell him.

The midfield 'chemistry' would be IMPROVED tremendously. Milan need better players on the wings. I don't care who would be sacrificed for him. At least we could send Serginho into retirement, where he belongs. Don't count on our other old men making runs forward along the flank(s) for very much longer either :rolleyes:

Rothen combines grit with technique + creativity, that alone is worth going after in my opinion...

Then again I start to really like Monaco + would like to see them NOT fall apart after this season (it's enough of a heartache to see AJA losing their best players all the time)..... but it doesn't change the fact that Rothen would be an excellent signing.

MookyRookie · May 6, 2004

who said Rothen woudl be no good signing??? the game vs. Chelsea was his game together wiht Morientes, Giuly was sub off, but did u see how hard i fought for the ball, in one scene where he almsot lost the ball but won it back with excellent tackling and also plays the deadly pass to Morientes who was unable to score cause he maybe chosed the wrong corner....
Rothen would improve and also make Milans wing play one of the best in Football.... for the right price Monaco may sell him.... Jerome Rothen is like Serginho in his best ages and even better.... a dream come true if he joining Milan this summer already if ever.... :devil2:

milanez · May 7, 2004

I hope that one of two signings is Rothen.
I think that he is the best player on his position.
Galliani please buy him(Rothen).

Sandro Nesta · May 15, 2004

Yeah wicked, but i just hope that stam and dhorasoo not are these two signings i hope the two big signings would be Totti and a great defender or Luis Fabiano he's such a star

redondo · May 15, 2004

milan management is making fool of every1.y will they tell the press of their secrets.big signing this year=stam and a striker no 4 who will enjoy the bench

Melbourne · May 16, 2004

Same level if you ask me. That's why I brought up the age factor.

rothen [younger, winger, excellent at set pieces]. dhorasoo would be able to play in a giuly-type role i guess.

milanez · May 18, 2004

deffinitly Rothen

i jsut read this on http://calcioitalia.8m.com/serie a_transfer.htm

Milan signed French midfielder Vikash Dhorasoo from Olympique Lyon
earlier this month and on Sunday club vice-president Adriano Galliani said no other deals were planned.
"We have a squad that won the Champions League last season and has just won the 'scudetto' and I think we are fine as we are," said Galliani

does this mean we have out 2 signings?

jazz_iz_4eva_milanisti · May 18, 2004

another little update from galliani:

soccerage.com said:
05/18/2004. Adriano Galliani today spoke about Milan's transfer market, stating that the rossoneri are looking for a fourth striker.

When asked about the transfers, and in particular about Corradi, Galliani declared: "At 94% the market is closed. Rui Costa and Ambrosini did not ask me to leave. We are looking for a fourth striker, however Corradi would be a luxury in that role."
