I actually don't see a Milan player who could be a plus for our squad or could solve one of our weak points. Right back? Left winger? Scoring midfielder? So let's hope it's just not true!

Gourcuff possibly?

I hope and pray it's not Gattuso! Regardless of his age we don't need him and have that position covered already with Toure and now possibly Keita as well!..If it's Yoann Gourcuff I must admit I hardy know anything about the lad except that he's listed as an attacking midfielder. Please someone clue me in if this lad is Barcelona type "quality"?

there is no player who can benefit us. how about a young lad called KAKA. if we get him and give roni and zambrotta in return it will be the best transfer of the yr. not sure its going to happen. but that would be just amazing.
of course its not gattuso. thats like us selling xavi or madrid raul.

Could it be Dida? Or he isn't considered an AC Milan player? I hope it's nothing like that... i don't want a backup keeper like him.

Kaka would be a great asset.
If not i would nog get rid of ronnie

There is one player that I feel Barca should get from AC that would be perfect for them (well, two, but they won't sell Kaka)....
Pato! Despite him only being there a year, the facts does suggest that they may be willing to part with him. AC Milan missed out on the Champsions league and the money it brings, therefore, they are not willing to pay full prices for Barca players. So money plus one of their players that Barca feelings would suit their style of play, is the only real option. Also, apart from Ronnie and Eto'o, Milan has been linked with numerous forwards. With Pato spending much of last season (when he was permitted to play) on the bench, AC may feel that it is better to have today's-superstars-in-football to reassure their fans and to ensure that they have built an instant force in Italian football after a disappointing season.
Pato, in my opinion, is one of the best candidates for troubled left-wing forward position and, someone that fans could actually get exited about coming to the club. He has great technical ability, pace, good awareness/vision and, unlike the left midfielders Barca has been linked with, he is a great goalscorer. With him being good in front of goal, this would enable Barca to go back to the interchangeable/hoovering front three that lead the team to two league titles and 'Champions League' success.

i dont think that this mysterious player is pato,maybe gourcuff,because he plays on ronaldinho position,and pato is in milan since january,and its hard to left him to barca,80 % i am sure that this player is gourcuff
Abdullah said...
i personally think this is a big hoax.milan dont have any player that would add anything to the barcelona squad.pato and kaka are about the only two decnt players that we could use but them getting transfered is the equivalnet of us selling messi or iniesta.also,if its gourcuff,then we are wasting our time and money as does not really have the quality to guide us to championhsips.

Hey Pep !! it's me from the forum. My opinion: I certainly hope its Kaka, anything else would be a disaster. Gattuso would be a waste of money, because we already have Toure and Keita, and why sign Oddo when we're already going for Alves. I really hope it's Kaka though

I don't believe that rumour. (especially from a media like Sport)
You'll see that probably non AC Milan player will join Barca in the "next 24 hours."
p.s. we all know that we're looking for a GK, but Dida will be terrible. The guy is finished.

I can assure you even if this report is true it is NOT going to be "Kaka"! Why would Milan theoretically "swap" Ronnie for Kaka?? That wouldn't make any sense at all for Milan! Even if Barca offered Zambrotta, Marquez and Ronnie + cash that still wouldn't be enough to pry Kaka from Milan. So everyone stop dreaming. It's not happening!
buki said...
guys,its only rumour,dont beleive on this
Anonymous said...
Emm, if its true, then who could it be? No Milan player is needed by Barca exept for Kaká and maybe Pato. I wouldn't be suprised though if they signed a crap, old player like Dida, Gatusso, Gilardino etc...

If Kaka is impossible, than Pato is something more of impossible ..
hamad said...
I have a strong feeling this is just media crap. I hope to god its not true we don't need ANY Milan players not the pensioners or Pato/Kaka. FCB has enough stars we need a team.

The info comes from José Luis Carazo, which is somewhat the "insider" of Sport, who is believed to have the best network within and around the club.
Which doesn't mean everything, cause he misses out on things too, but well: if it's a hoax, it's at least a nice one... ;-)
Saying this: I really don't see a candidate...
djoef said...
Yeah, it's strange. If you would say "Inter" or "Roma", I would know immediately have some names i would like to see play for us! But Milan, not really. Even Kaka would have a hard time in our 4-3-3 in my opinion.

It's Imbrahimovic... *laugh*

It's Nesta...

KAKA for sure is coming! hahaha ya right but its fun to say...go ahead say it with me, KAKA for sure is coming!! :P

Well since Deco wants to go and pirlo thought of leaving a while back to bayern because of the internal midfield problems milan are having; ie, seedorf's childish behaviors towards switched formation. Hmmmm I smell a swap deal. Plus pirlo would fill deco's role as a play maker and not have to worry much about the defensive positioning while playing the 4-3-3. It would be great to have him instead of a young play maker like diego or moutinho since Gio dos is showing his style in the middle of the park as well. Maybe bring Gio in for a [swap position] with the left wing while messi jumps in the middle on the counter when we play our slick quick passing game. Perfect.. Now just get Alves is deal done and let us stop agonizing will yea.
