I hope this does not happen, but Mou & Mancio both know how key Maicon is, and they both have a big budget... we may not be able to stop this one

You still have Santon and Zanetti to play Maicon's role and with the money you can buy Vargas,so no need for the

Plenty of coaches and technical directors moving around, many squads to be rebuilt or boosted, the WC showcase.

According to tuttomercatoweb.com, which has usually good weighted insights:

Inter is closing the deal for Ranocchia, and his inquiring about Criscito. We are planning for 5-6 new faces for rejuvenating the squad, and we are waiting to have a manager to pin down the list.
Capello looks very possible.
First and second backups would be Benitez and Hiddink.


Juve is obviously very active.
They reportedly are:
closing in for Bonucci;
trying to offload Amauri in Bundesliga for 13mil (Bayern, Wolfsburg or Schalke);
thinking about asking Bayern to swap Schweinsteiger for Diego;
sending Marotta to Madrid to ask for Aguero;
relinquishing Caceres and Candreva buy-back options;
following closely Kjaer, Cassani and Cavani;
targeting Marco Motta;
thinking about Gallas.
Giovinco meanwhile thinks he'll probably leaving.
Buffon is staying.


Roma is thinking about Gallas and keen to sell Baptitsta to whoever (Genoa, Tottenham) and is hoping that during the WC he'll do something to make anybody willing to pay for him.


Fiorentina, with Sinisa almost certain, is looking at Mantovani from Chievo and Mudingayi from Bologna. If Vargas leaves they could get Llama from Catania.


Milan will just have Silvio wanking off about his twenty years of triumphs as usual.

Fiorentina, with Mihajlovic basically certain, is looking at Mantovani from Chievo and Mudingayi from Bologna. If Vargas leaves they could get Llama from Catania. Sinisa is asking for Martinez, Biagianti and Mascara.

abundance wrote:Yep Ledesma is good, and he's on the market, I think we'll be hearing about clubs interested in him soon.
Manuel Fernandes, I remember when we were interested in him in January, and he looks quality, but I don't know him much - do you think he could do good for us?


If Juve is actually interested in Schweini, is for playing him in his original role on the flank.
Delneri preferred setup requires plenty of of work on the outer rails, and Juve has a scarcity of good wide men.
I hope Palombo stays at Samp coz he's pivotal for them.
Marchisio - Melo could be just good enough for next season in Turin.


Milan just don't want to spend so you'll hear tons of rumors about swaps. Only thing you always have to double check the ideas of the other end involved

yep but that was with crappyness around them (manager, fullbacks, wingers, forwards). they can do some good hard work and think they can be good enough in the middle with fast and skilled wingers and forwards.

I Will Not Join Real Madrid & Neither Will Diego Milito - Javier Zanetti
Zanetti is confident Milito will stay at Inter...

Javier Zanetti has hit back at reports he and striker Diego Milito will abandon Inter and follow Jose Mourinho to Real Madrid.

Il Corriere dello Sport claimed Milito was bound to team up with his former coach at the Bernabeu and that Inter would be willing to grant him leave to negotiate with Los Blancos if they received a top offer.

Their report followed Milito's own claims that he had "received important offers".

But Zanetti is confident Milito will stay, while showing an unwillingness in subscribing to the idea of moving to Spain himself.

"I spoke with Diego before the game, maybe he expressed himself wrongly about his future. He is happy to be with us and we had a great year in which we made history," Zanetti told Inter Channel.

"Milito also made history with Inter. I have no doubts that he will remain with us.

"I have already said no to Real Madrid in the past. I could have gone there, everything was in place, but I spoke to Moratti and he convinced me to stay."

bluenine wrote:Who would be foolish enough to start such a rumour? Zanetti to Real, seriously? Thats ridiculous.... if he wanted to, he would ve joined them 10 years ago!

There are some players money can't buy.... no one could buy Maldini from Milan, and no one can buy Zanetti from Inter...

My bad, I deleted De Rossi & forgot to delete VDV... with Adriano & Simplicio as good as done, its unlikely Roma will want VDV anyways....

Unless Mou requests for Baptista, as he was rumoured to be very keen when at Inter

I can't see how those deals are related to VDV. He plays in a different position to them. He would take up the role behind the striker(Adriano) and ahead of the central midfield(Simplicio+Pizarro). Think Roma would be better of with that deal to be honest since VDV could ease in while Totti is phased out of the starting line up.

De Rossi hasn't lived up to his inital promise so it might not be a bad deal for them.

?? You might be confusing him with Aquilani De Rossi has lived upto his promise, he has come a long way since his red in 2006. Yeah, still has moments of madness, but thats like giallorossi DNA. De Rossi has established himself as one of the best box-to-box midfielders in Serie A, if not the best.

Poor, struggled with injury...

Super Madrid wrote:Strange move by Fiorentina because D'Agostino would occupy Montolivo's position unless they will use both of them in central midfield which would be creative but perhaps not so solid.

Bluey
With regards to De Rossi I expected more from him and I thought he would be one of the best midfielders in the world but so far I would say he is in the top.
