Poll Results: Nocerino was Milan’s best signing

THE READERS have decided, to no surprise, that Antonio Nocerino was Milan’s best summer signing.

We asked you a little bit than one month ago who was Milan’s best signing of the summer. There were 5 of those, some impressed more, some less – but there is only one winner – and no one can be surprised.

The Rossoneri brought Mexes and Taiwo on Bosman transfers after their respective spells at Roma and OM, Aquilani came on loan and El Shaarawy on co-ownership – Nocerino came on a low-cost deal. (continue reading…)

Tevez: “I only want to join Milan”

CARLOS TEVEZ has rejected everyone and he now says that he’s waiting for Milan.

Paris Saint-Germain had a deal in place with Manchester City for problematic striker Carlos Tevez – €37 million already in January, with no loan, and offered the player a very lucrative contract, worth €8-11m yearly.

Pato ruled out for 3-4 weeks

ALEXANDRE PATO has been sidelined for 3-4 weeks with yet another muscular injury (update).

Pato scored the winner goal against Novara in the 100′ minute after the game was dragged to extra time following 1-1 at the end of the 90 minutes; it was in fact only his 4th goal of the season in all competitions.

However, Pato had to leave the pitch a few minutes before the final whistle due to the re-aggravation of a physical problem. The situation of the Brazilian striker, who’s not having a good season, is still not clear. (continue reading…)


Taiwo edges closer to Milan exit

TAYE TAIWO is expected to leave Milan soon following Djamel Mesbah’s arrival this week.

Milan no longer need the services of the Nigerian left-back after securing a deal for Lecce’s Mesbah yesterday (the player will sign the contract later today), and the player is expected to be sold this January.

Arriving to Milano as a Bosman transfer, Taiwo failed to impress Coach Massimiliano Allegri and barely featured in Serie A. The player’s agent, Fabio Parisi, claims for interest for the player and expects news. (continue reading…)


El Shaarawy: “I am staying at Milan”

STEPHAN EL SHAARAWY is delighted with his performance and goal against Novara.

Milan are through to the next round of the Coppa Italia, where they will meet Lazio, after defeating Novara Calcio at Stadio San Siro. A game simple on paper, but only on paper as Milan struggled a bit for the win.

The Man of the Match on Wednesday night was undoubtedly Stephan El Shaarawy. The youngster was given the nod alongside Filippo Inzaghi and scored the first goal of Milan and was very lively in the attack. (continue reading…)
