stevy777_x Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Have Milan got the money to do a deal? AC Milan sold Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva last summer to PSG for 60 million euros so yes they have money to do a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Scott Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 (edited) Regardless of the clause's with Milan to buy him back or Napoli supposedly interested there are two key factors here: 1. Milan have not got a pot to **** in and even if they could stump up the cash Italian clubs are well known for offering very little salary wise. (they're a few exceptions to this of course) 2. Both Astori and his agent have stated that his ambition is to come to the Premier League. I wouldn't get to worried about the length of this deal. As others have said its now the norm it Italy to drag these deals out so the selling club can get the best deal possible. Cortese will know this, even more so from the Ramirez deal this summer. He isn't stupid and if things did get too ridiculous he is an intelligent business man and will know he needs to pull the plug. In my opinion I think we will get our man but can't see it happening until the tail end of this window. The real question here is do we wait and get the man we want or get somebody in sooner to fill the void left by Jose.

woodsaint Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Could this be like the summer where we chased top defenders but didnt get any and were made to panic buy at the last minute. Hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olallana Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 AC Milan sold Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva last summer to PSG for 60 million euros so yes they have money to do a deal Well they also got huge debts and I think Berlusconi has taken those money back to his pocket rather than they are in the clubs bank account....

Turkish Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 Doesn't sound like the kind of thing Cortese would stand for. Either take the money or stick it If Cortese won't stand for other clubs bidding on players we are interested in then we'll never sign anyone unless they are so sh*t no one wants them.

JackanorySFC Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 According to Tancredi Palmeri on twitter, AC Milan are going to line up a bit for Ramirez in the summer. Could be interesting. Will be gutted to lose him so soon, still hoping to keep him until 2014 where Uraguay will have a cracking WC IMO, then let him leave after. Clearly above our level at the moment, we would need to make some serious signings to keep him here. IF we stay up and interest is shown from G14 level clubs like Milan, his attitude (which up until now has been impeccable tbf) and our Chairmans actions will be very interesting.

CaneNero Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 Apparently we're going to up our bid to their asking price. 12 mil euro + 3 mil in bonuses, so 15million euros! or 12 million pounds in total. It's speculation, but comes from Italian press so I'm inclined to believe it more. Surely that'll be our limit. Milan wouldn't go that high with what they've already got. http://www.calcionews24.com/cagliari-il-southampton-non-molla-astori-nuova-offerta-291831.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshida is growing into a great little CB for me, his reading of the game is great and works V well with Fonte. Rodriguez shows me flashes he will be a good player, he needs game time. Mayuka ? Has a decent name for himself as up and coming player, looks lively, Ill reserve judgement but yeah concede its a little dissapointing. Then you have Clyne who is fantastic and Ramirez who is or will be V soon easily our best player and arguably too good for us.

Barry Sanchez Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 He could grow into a great centreback in the championship, wheres is Mayuka? Game time for Rodriguez? Where will he play?
