Da Calciopoli altre telefonate dimenticate - Meani a De Santis: «Non ammonire Nesta»

L'infografica a fianco riporta l'intercettazione inedita. Il 1° maggio 2005 è in programma Fiorentina-Milan: il giorno prima Meani chiama De Santis e gli domanda di evitare il più possibile di ammonire Nesta che era diffidato (al pari di Seedorf e Rui Costa) in modo che il difensore non salti Milan-Juve della settimana dopo (vittoria bianconera 1-0 con gol di Trezeguet). Il Milan
vince 2 a 1 e nessun diffidato viene ammonito.

Whatever, you can say what you say about Silvio and Galliani, they're anything but angels, but I think the 'evidence' against Milan has shown to be significantly less serious than Inter, nevermind Juventus. It's a shame Inter is getting away with murder though, they orchestrated this whole thing superbly but couldn't hide the truth forever, at least I'm happy in the knowledge Milan's 18 titles all came on the field...can Inter say the same? In fact I wonder if they would still be stuck on 13 if all facts came out in 2006

all roads seem to be pointing to fabregas. we'll find out at the end of august.

we have a roughly 0.00001412377% chance of getting fabregas. basically, barcelona would have to not want him. the only way i see this as remotely possible is if we renege on ibra, sending him back. this would be costly for barca as they would need to pay him 24m per year and would free up cash for us.

[The MAN]

Other than having an extra 0, the percentage looks about right to me...its hard to tell with Galliani tho, the more he denies the more u have to believe the opposite. If he does pull this shit, he's the fucking man. Remember, we're supposed to have been working on this mystery transfer with Raiola since January and he was spotted in London many times.

The thing is, we've almost spend nothing so far this year. We did dish out on El Shaarwy, buy remaining half on Boateng and a few other minor deals but we did sell that scrub Boriello, got cash for Astori, Merkel, Onyewu, so maybe in the end our net spending is like 5 million, could be less. We're also probably going to ship out more dead wood as August rolls in as we are certain to trim the roster. We're also saving on wages this year overall with the renewals getting paycuts and also 2 big earners in Dinho and Pirlo no longer there. All in all, I don't see why we dont easily have 30-35 million (possibly more) stashed to spend before the end of the window. The only question mark is the fine on Fininvest but Galliani has been denying this will affect us. If past experience is anything to go by, I'm pretty sure he'd use as excuse already if it does indeed hamper our strategy

[The MAN]

Well, it's Aquilani's turn again today to be anointed as the mystery Milan target and looks like some Galliani quotes too confirming that. While I do have reservation about his injury status, I'll be OK with him IF (and only IF) we land a big name midfielder with him as well. We'll need 2 quality mids to seriously challenge for CL

[San Paolo]

There is a rumour circulating that Milan will loan Aquiliani with an obligation to buy for €6million

[RomaShield27]

Loan with an option to buy for €6m? Thats even more miserly than Galliani's and co usual standards.

it's pretty obvious in retrospect, but i wouldn't beat myself over not knowing too hard

AC Milan have snared talented teenager Krisztian Tamas with a view to the long-term future.

The 16-year-old has been based at the Illes Football Academy in the Hungarian city of Szombathely.

He is already regarded as an exciting prospect and has been compared to Tottenham's Welsh star Gareth Bale due to his similar playing style.

Tamas is unlikely to feature in Massimiliano Allegri's squad straight away and will more likely continue his development with their Under-20s side.

The left winger had also been linked with Arsenal and Tottenham.

[ancient milanista]

Szombathely? Are you sure you haven't made that up Taz?
