Have you met every Inter fan then?

[Andreas]

Don't think Inter fans will be bothered, they won everything when he was gone (CL, League and the domestic cups). Just glad that he will enjoy playing football again and Italy is where he is at his best - was hoping to see him in England though.

No, but so what?
Have you met every Juve and/or Lazio fan?
Didn't think so.

I think that was Loz`s point.

What is your point? That because you generalise fans it's wrong of me to do it?

[loz]

The point was that you made a ridiculous generalisation and then when I came back with another one you responded by saying that you couldn't judge Lazio fans because you hadn't met many, yet you feel you have met enough Inter fans to judge the lot of them.

So if you can judge Inter fans based on a small percentage met then surely  I can judge Juve fans based on those who demonstrate clear racism on the terraces irrespective of the fact I know you are a Juve fan and don't appear to be a racist in any way.

My entire point was about generalisation being daft, whether you do it or I do it.

Generalisation might not be right, but it's so much easier.

I think its now fair to say Ibrahimovic`s move to Barcelona is officially the worst transfer ever.

Definitely. I cant believe his wage and behavior are so prohibitive at Barca that they think cutting loose a huge signing 12 months later is the best possible move.

For Barca, they are losing an effective weapon. Who else in their lineup brings size like that? And its not as if he had lead feet when he got the ball.

Now I hear Berlusconi is talking about how they are chasing Robinho. My lord, Ronaldinho-Ibra-Pato-Robinho. So much skill oni the ball and so much potential for implosion.

Really don't understand how Milan are funding these deals considering they were in a bad financial situation a year ago.

Hopefully next summer we take advantage of their money spending and pounce on Pato!

Well on the latest news, Mutu has gone a step down...there are rumors around the net linking him with a transfer to Serbia and Partizan (I suppose he's looking for CL football). Pretty incredible, start a Chelsea, then Fiorentina.

That's the beauty of it  

Here are their signings

Yepes - Free transfer
Sokratis - Exchanged a bunch of youngsters + little cash around 4 - 5 mill
Boateng - 1yr Free Loan + Buyout around 10 - 12 mill

Ibrahimovic - 1yr Free Loan + 24mill buyout payed over 3 years (8mill per year)
Robinho - The deal is for around 15mill which they will cover by selling Huntelaar to Shalke,word on the street is he's willing to take a pay cut as well to join Milan.

They spent around 7 - 8 million buying u18 youngster from all over the world for their youth program
and payed 4 - 5 mill for Sokratis other than that they haven't payed a dime for their transfers.


So for 15mill this year they signed a bunch of youngsters and 5 first team players 1 of which was the 2nd most expensive transfer last season,talk about bang for the buck.
Also if they manage to sell Borriello to Juve before the market closes then they would break even      but that's unlikely atm Juve is pushing for a loan.

Puts Man City and Real Madrid to shame really.Milan played the transfer market brilliantly.

Will be interesting to follow Milan this season in serie A, especially if Robinho comes in - lucky me I have Serie A and Premier League on my TV !

They probably still won't win anything yet but it'll be quite a spectacle.

Here's a bit of Ronaldinho from the weekend drubbing they gave Lecce

AC Milan is getting stonger in attacking line!

[Barry Bridges]

You know that midfielder Barca claimed they were being held to ransom over when Liverpool wanted more than 18mil on?

They just slapped a 74million dollar realse clause on him...... funny how that works!

How come UEFA does nothing when they unsettle world class players at numerous clubs, yet we "allegedly unsettle" a 17 year old and they threaten us with never seen before sanctions?


Whats the bigger joke?   Barca FC or EUFA or FIFA?  Waiting for the punch line still.....

Whatever. He's fun to use in Fifa.
