[p_maldini_3]

holy crap.

even a backdoor is an entrance. id take the offer in a heartbeat...

[The MAN]

would not really be in love with that, but we'll see how things play out, and I think playing an early in CL would mean we have to radically change our pre-season, call players early and then we'll fuck our whole preperation and hurt our season/scudetto challenge.....but then the last time this happened was summer 2006, so we shall see...but we're in UEFA as far as Im concerned

Milan, svanita la speranza Champions

E' tramontata prima di nascere la speranza del Milan di essere ripescato in Champions al posto del Cska Sofia. Infatti sarà la stessa federazione bulgara ad assegnare il posto che potrebbe essere lasciato vacante e con tutta probabilità, in caso di conferma dell'esclusione del Cska, sarà ripescato il Levski Sofia.


Sigh of relief(for me). Levski sofia will replace cska sofia.

And now Porto have been banned from next seasons CL, due to some refereeing bribes from a few years back or something. Could that be a way in for Milan...?

AC Milan in talks for Chelsea strikers Didier Drogba and Andriy Shevchenko
www.telegraph.co.uk – 1:35pm BST 04/06/2008

AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has said the club have opened talks with Chelsea about the possibility of signing Didier Drogba and Andriy Shevchenko.

A day after AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti turned down the vacant Chelsea manager's job, Galliani said negotiations are already under way to try and lure the two strikers from Stamford Bridge to the San Siro.

Galliani said that his relationship with the managerless Premiershit club had not been damaged by the approach for Ancelotti, before claiming he spoke with Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon yesterday about Drogba and Shevchenko's availability.

"We are speaking about Drogba, we are speaking about Shevchenko," Gallaini has been quoted as saying. Galliani, whose Milan side finished fifth in Serie A last season and will only compete in the Uefa Cup, said he wanted to rebuild the squad so that they could make a serious challenge for the Italian title next season.

Drogba made no secret of his desire to leave Chelsea when Jose Mourinho was sacked as manager eight months ago. It is thought Drogba had a fractious relationship with Avram Grant, who took over from Mourinho until he too was shown the door following the club's defeat to Manchester United in the Champions League final.

Shevchenko has struggled in England since his move from Milan in 2006. The Ukrainian was held in high esteem at Milan; it was his kick in the penalty shoot-out which clinched the Champions League trophy for the club in 2003 when they played Juventus in an all-Italian affair at Old Trafford.

Such is the strong bond between Shevchenko and the Serie A giants, Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi is godfather to the striker's first son. Galliani, Berlusconi's right-hand man who handles the day-to-day running of the club, also warned Chelsea off making a move for Kaka. Chelsea tried to sign Kaka in 2003 before he opted to go to Italy, and have kept close tabs on the Brazil international ever since

"He's absolutely not for sale," Gallaini said. Meanwhile, Ancelotti has reiterated his desire to stay as manager of Milan. "I'm not going there (to Chelsea)," he said. "It's fantasy football. It happens every year. I never had any doubt that I would be at Milan next season."

^Agreed with the above assesment

If Drogba has to come with the FT then fuck no for both. I honestly would not want to deal with that plastic club, but Galliani seems on good terms with Kenyon (Chelsea's BF)
