AC Milan general spiel 2.0

[p_maldini_3]

i think preziosi is doing us a favor, it has to do something with keeping our accounts balanced for the fiscal year to get around uefa's new policies. and preziosi makes some money too.

[San Paolo]

we kind of return the favour by giving them the promising youth players like Paloschi and Merkel on loan or on co-ownership too so it's not all one way traffic.

[San Paolo]

Genoa are intending to sign Destro from Siena outright then possibly sell him to Milan for around €10-15 mil depending if players are included in the deal also they may loan with an option to buy Miguel Veloso to Milan too.

[p_maldini_3]

as much as i like signing new italian prospects and all, what the f are we gonna do with another striker? unless we offload robinho, then i'm absolutely cool with that.

[San Paolo]

i forgot to add it was based on us offloading Robinho to Malaga or whoever will take him. also i forgot to add that Galliani has met with PSG again allegedly to talk about TS as TS's management are wanting a huge contract upgrade now.

Thiago Silva signs new Milan deal
/ July 2, 2012 / By ESPN staff

AC Milan defender Thiago Silva has spurned the attentions of PSG and Barcelona and has signed a new deal that will keep him at the San Siro until June 2017. Thiago Silva, 27, is highly-rated in Italy and has risen to become one of the best defenders in world football after arriving at Milan in January 2009 from Fluminense.

The Brazilian centre-back was linked with a summer move to PSG, who made a €46 million move for him last month. However, he has now agreed a new deal running for another five years. Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi confirmed: "Thiago Silva is staying at Milan'' while an AC Milan statement said that the club have extended the player's contract until June 30, 2017.

It read: "An important decision (has been) taken in difficult times and faced with a unique economic proposal. Thiago Silva is not simply a champion who tackles and wins back the ball, who, with his team-mates, wins, draws or loses the match. Thiago Silva himself embodies the class and style of Milan, the charisma of a club that loves the game but also the result and behaviour.

"And so his stay with the Rossoneri, decided by president Berlusconi, preserves the Milan identity.''

Thiago Silva was a key part of the club's success in winning the 2010-11 Serie A title and told the club's official website: "I want to make history in Milan, like Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini.'' His decision to stay is a major coup for the club as they look to reclaim the Serie A crown they lost to Juventus last season.

apparently, you guys beat barcelona and paid €500,000 for a 14-year old who's supposed to be the next maradona, pele, and totti all in one.

[p_maldini_3]

if he was gonna be just maradona and pele, it would've been 1 million euros.

[San Paolo]

Galliani says our market is almost closed already because keeping Thiago is as good as signing a star player.

[RomaShield27]

lol

The classic Galliani summer quote also came out today:

We also have Massimo Ambrosini who can play in that role.

[forzaitalia]

[San Paolo]

I'm still secretly hoping for Balzaretti.

[red]

Did Balzaretti not say it's either Palermo or PSG for him next season?

[RomaShield27]

Yeh i think he did Red. Besides, when your secretly hoping your club can pull off the signing of Federico Balzaretti you know you're in trouble.

[RomaShield27]

Now i know why vtec has been so quiet, he's in Botafogo:

[RomaShield27]

Any craic, lads?

Ganso is leaving Santos, apparently, weren't Milan all over him before?

[p_maldini_3]

i wouldn't want him anyway. he's nothing spectacular from the 5 odd games i've seen of him, although he's an incredibly clean passer of the ball.

[San Paolo]

I'd still have him but they say that the company that owns 55% of his registration are close to.sending him to Corinthians or PSG so who knows! Galliani is also lining up Lass Diara and Kolarov I've read this morning.
