AC Milan general spiel 2.0

[San Paolo]

well the jury is out on if he is German or Kazahstani and he is part of our youth system we signed him from Stuttgart.

[RomaShield27]

Whoa whoa hold on, which is it? A youth product trained up at your club or you signed him for a fee from Stuttgart?

[San Paolo]

well he came to Milan 08 when he was 14 or 15, saying that though he was born in Kazakhstan to russian parents but has represented Germany at all levels so if we trained him or bought him doesnt matter much?

Edit
i just found out the Germany under 19 coach (the team that Merkel plays in) name is Ralf Minge. call me childish.

Milan close on Ajax starlet

Saturday 22 January, 2011

There are reports that Milan have secured a deal for Ajax left-winger Urby Emanuelson. The Rossoneri have made it clear they are seeking a new left-back during the January transfer window.

On Friday, Vice-President Adriano Galliani declared it would not be Sampdoria’s Reto Ziegler or Genoa man Domenico Criscito unless the price-tag dropped considerably.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia this morning, they have already found an alternative.

Emanuelson is a 24-year-old Holland international who can play on the left side of midfield or at left-back. His contract with Ajax expires at the end of the season, so it would not cost much to prise him away six months early.

"It is impossible to turn down Milan," Emanuelson told Der Telegraaf. It is reported he has been offered a three-and-a-half-year contract.

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

I'd hardly call a 24-year-old a "starlet". Could be a good addition, but if his contract is expiring he could be just a cheapo solution.

[San Paolo]

[p_maldini_3]

we've reserved the cheapo solution for mexes.

this signing is not what we need but could be a masterstroke a la serginho. benvenuto urby

[p_maldini_3]

its official now, we've signed emaluenson. thats great.

[San Paolo]

awesome stuff! hes terrible at LB though, so i wonder what the plan is?

[San Paolo]

and if its true we payed €1.5 mil and he is getting 1.4mil a season wages thats a great bit of business from Galliani.

[RomaShield27]

[San Paolo]

yeah but €1.5 mil! you could pay that for some talented kid from Serie B!

[p_maldini_3]

that was a tough game, we struggled to get going until halfway through the first half, and deservedly took the lead.

robinho was unstoppable today, he is turning into a vital pillar of this team.

[p_maldini_3]

nesta dislocated his shoulder and will be out f for 2-3 months. oh shit.

but yepes was a beast today, so that helps.

[RomaShield27]

Ah bollocks is it confirmed he'll be out for 2-3 months?? No chance of him being back for the Spurs games? I want you cnuts to beat them cnuts to feck, what inconsiderate arseholes.

[Lombardiamia]

Nesta will be out for 3-4 weeks....

[San Paolo]

“The only flaw of the evening is the injury to Alessandro Nesta. He'll be out for two or three weeks and in this period it means he'll miss six or seven games.

[RomaShield27]

Cool. When's the Champions League resume? Middle of February isn't it? So he'll probably be out for the first leg but might be back for the return leg? Thats in White Hart Lane, too, so you'll badly need the cnut.

[San Paolo]

Feb 15th is the first leg and the return is on March 9th it says on Football Italia

MILAN - His monogram promises a lot. MVB, like Marco Van Basten. This monogram has a special importance in Milan’s rich history. Of course, their roles and style of play are different, but they have a few things in common. Mark Van Bommel has signed with Milan until 30 June 2011. He’s coming to give a hand to the team in a department where the Rossoneri have been short these weeks, due to the high number of injuries.

Mark Van Bommel’s career speaks for itself. Great matches were fought in the Champions League between him and the Rossoneri on unforgettable nights, in sold-out stadiums. In 2005, still as a PSV Eindhoven player, Van Bommel came close to scoring a wonderful goal against Milan in the semifinal of the elite European club competition, but a magnificent save from Dida denied his effort. In the next year, the Dutch player’s team at the time, Barcelona, had the better of Milan in another Champions League semifinal match-up, while in 2007 the Rossoneri eliminated Van Bommel’s Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals. The rivalry between MVB and Milan is over.

From today on, he’s fighting for the the Rossoneri colours. Welcome Mark!
