[...] Most Boring Transfer Window EVER? By Gianfranco Today Vicenzo Iaquinta, former Milan target and Azzuri hero, has stated that Juventus have done better than Inter and Milan in the transfer window. Vicenzo, I will agree with you wholeheartedly there on the Rossoneri front. … AC Milan – http://acmilan.theoffside.com [...]

Is this the most boring transfer window for Milan? Allow me to answer that….. no. ‘No’ might be a surprising answer but honestly for me, my disappointment has outweighed the extreme boredom! This window was being hyped as an exciting one for Rossoneri fans. The excuse for the lack of activity last year was that we had to qualify for Europe first. This year thanks to our CL victory we don’t have that problem. Yes I know we have quality players,but once you look past our best XI we are really average. When the injury bug hits we don’t have the extra players to produce the results that are expected of Milan. Case and point, the first half of last season and many Serie A matches when we rested players for CL matches. Any way, lets just hope Milan stop thinking they are completely covered in all areas- because they aren’t- and finally buy AT LEAST someone (preferably not an old man!).

THanks Gianfranco about the blog.

and one comment on Ronaldo being the fastest. Of course Serginho wasn’t going to be the fastest, when Serginho had just returned from his injury, that nearly saw him end his career. Just a thought….

Young talent has always been key at Milan, especially young Italian talent. But I agree I would much rather buy and up and coming star than an established talent becuase they are always more devoted to the club.

lol, if you get paid to write this blog, ill sign up in a heartbeat [btw, do you get paid? is this a full-time job? that would be badass].

i do fancy my optimism, as i remember quite vividly that last summer i was brashly declaring that ronaldinho will move to milan the next [/this] summer. im still holding for that dream…

Shehan I am beginning to think we would make a good color commentary you being all sane and realistic and me being all brash and cynical. Nice point on El Gordo’s confidence, but the Ronaldinho thing won’t be over until Day one of La Liga and even then the rumors will linger.

gianfranco, i remember a few months ago, milan gave out some stats over the players’ fitness.

who was the fastest in the 40 yard dash in our whole team?

not kaka’, serginho, or even Maldini who still is very fast, it was the man of the moment, el gordo, ronaldo..!

it still does not register in my head right now..

i must admit that the management is putting alot of faith in ronaldo, perhaps a bit too much. but ronaldo plays best when he has the confidence of the team, and perhaps carlo and galliani are saying the appropriate things to make ronaldo realize that we do believe in him.

whatever the situation, i hope he succeeds. 7 goals and 4 assists in 12 games is an excellent start, this time he’ll have a milanlab pre-season to help him out with his fitness and conditioning; i can see ronaldo having a great season.

but i still want ronaldinho [btw the other guy was abidal, i mentioned milito!]

i am also afraid of kaka’s coexistence with ronaldinho, but you know what, kaka’ has had bigger challenges in his life, and i personally think he won’t let ronaldinho’s off the field escapades affect his values and ethics [if ronaldinho does indeed come to milan].

Milito is the other guy. Shehan I am afraid you are mentioning Ronaldo of a few years back, this Ronaldo does not have the pace to be consistently shadowed any more and it showed last season.

I worry about the very modest Kaka coexisting and not being overshadowed by a player who lost the limelight at last year’s World Cup.

come on, our team is waaay too experienced to let a new boy like ronaldinho upset the chemistry. if anything, he can only make it better.

and if somebody man marks ronaldo? hes been manmarked his whole life, look at his record, it speaks for itself!

barcelona have always sold for the right price too. they are like juventus, they are run like a business. and how do you suppose barcelona will pay for their 70 million euro shopping spree over the summer?? they got henry, milito, toure, and one more guy (whose name is evading my mind right now); how will they pay for it?

now i certainly dont think 90 million is a worthy price tag, but if we get ronaldinho for under 60m, it will be a great deal for us. if beckham made real madrid 300m over the course of 4 years, just imagine how much ronaldo, kaka’ AND ronaldinho can make us in the next few years…!
