ALEXANDER MERKEL and Rodney Strasser are wanted at Novara.
Novara new Sporting Director Mauro Pederzoli, who still worked for Milan’s youth system two weeks ago, has put his eyes on two Milan youngsters: Alexander Merkel and Rodney Strasser.
Pederzoli worked with the Rossoneri midfielders for years and now he would like to take them with him to Novara. However, it is believed that Milan wouldn’t be willing to give up on two of their top youngsters.
Season Outcome and Next Season Decisions: Part 1
Seedorf: “My heart told me to stay”
Merkel (19) and Strasser (21) were given some first team action in the middle of the season when Milan had an injury crisis and convinced many people that they could be the next stars of Milan.
Novara have a chance to be promoted to Serie A.
They are still young and have lot to learn. So maybe this could even be a good idea, so they could get a lot of playing time(since i doubt that they will get any in milan). Remember, even grande Boban spend first year on loan, an came back as a much better player…So, why not?
Strasser could be new Seedorf and Merkel new Pirlo! Please Galliani dont let go young talented players. Forza Milan.
you are joking ? i dont think they will be even flamini’s calibre players
Strasser is not even near with his creativity and technique to be compared with seedorf.He is more DM, like van bommel or ambrosini.
U damn right..
Naah! Strasser would be his own man! He could be TOP-class but not WORLD-class.. As for merkel, I don’t think he’s going to be the new pirlo.. They play diffrent positions! Diffrent roles, and diffrent playing style! And most importantly he’s not italian.. He could be the new schweinsteiger!
send them back on january
@Yehez. You are a racist. What makes you think Strasser will not be a world class player. Damn that comment racist.
really? just because strasser is black he’s supposed to be world class? thats BS! btw im also black.. idiot
Don’t let them go for money,send them to some club like Sienna or Piacenza,never mind.But on loan.
WHATTT…???
Uncle G don’t let go Alex Merkel to Novara…He’s got awesome talent…I think he’s our supersub next season.
Trust me Uncle G….arrrggghhhh….
Yehez – We should trust our youngsters. Against Cagliari, Strasser proved a point that if played regularly he can be a class player. Just where was Seedorf when he was 20 years old? As for Merkel, if he is not Italian then what? He may not become as good as Pirlo but when given enough time he could be brilliant.
lol thats not what i mean about merkel.. i said he could be a really brill player.. but hes not the new pirlo.. hes our very own schweinsteiger! :D
Where was Seedorf when he was 20? Winning the Champions League with Real Madrid! Learn some history and you would stop continually making yourself look like such an idiot.
i think they should go on loan for a whole season then come back when seedorf ambrosini MvB retires…..i believe Strassr can really succed seedorf not sure about merkel though
No Way, No Wayyyyyy! Hello Merkel could and should be an impact player this year for Milan. Merkel should be a main MF replacement off the bench and a starter in Coppa games.
it’s a good idea to loan them so they will have more play time and will be more experienced…loan them for one year…but I think it’s better to loan them to a serie A team to be adapted to serie A
They are young prospects for de future but needs more playing time and since Milan cant guarantee them dat, i believe loan deals is de best option for both club n de players. Sturridge n wilshere are evidence of farming out players on loan.
Loan agree but selling dem out nooo
I think it will be good if we could loan them out, because they would not play much next season. We will buy one or 2 new midfielders so loan them out.
just LOAN to the right club in serie A!!! there’s no f**king way we sell Merekel!!! rodney?? well, we should consider bout him….
If Novara get by Padova that would be a very good idea to give them some playing time since they will see almost none next year at Milan.
Strasser should go, he has no chance at playing next year.
Van Bommel
Flamini
Gattuso
Ambrosini
I would say loan them.
We will probably get Witsel too.
just like you were certain Milan will sign that Argentinian LB last summer.
Guest, piss off or use your real name. Dumb ass.
I didn’t say anything about some Argentine LB. And I was more certain about Taiwo. Stupid inter fan. You’re probably sciacca or feverpitch or some other loser from goallegacy. Go back to where you came from please.
Man you are not a man of your word, last summer you said Otamendi will join Milan, I lost the last drop of respect to you, you dont even respect your word, you always have to attack ppl like a mad ptibull with his balls hanging.
And you’re a liar. You won’t use your real name. You can go to hell. Get off here, and go somewhere else. I said absolutely nothing about Otamendi. You need to learn how to respect people who are BETTER then you.
You had to show up, say stupid things, and then think you’re a know-it-all. So who are you exactly from goallegacy? Which post? Baresi6? Feverpitch? Cyberman? Tell me. I’d like to know! Because you sound awfully dumb right now.
If Novara gets to Serie A and will be willing to play them regularly, them loan them both so they can gain experience plus they can keep working together.
@ wcsg. Yup he won the Champions League while sitting on the bench, you moron.
Who is the moron? He played all 90 minures, one of 49 games he took the field for Madrid that season. You just love to make yourself look stupid, don’t you?
broski, seedorf made his debut for ajax at 16 i believe.i dont think strasser or merkel have been playing top level since that ages
@ Yehez. You there called me an idiot. Is that how your bitch mother faggot brought you up? Please stay away from me. Else, I will use some words that will make you kill your mother for bringing you to this world. Bastard! Gay dog.
@ibitoye, blad calm down, seriously jam that hype, there is no need to swear like that unless if he is a inter milan fan, so plz stop with the swearing and plz dont start on me cos that wont be cool and also i’m just saying the the right thing, dont swear like that, what did his mother do to you? if u want to offend him then swear him not his mum.
guys stop overrating these players. You are going to be in for huge disappointment.
just like you were certain Milan will sign that Argertinian LB last summer.
and the moron speaks again =D LOL! I Didn’t say anything about any Argentinian leftback.
On a year loan i agree selling dem is nt an option…….streeser is a perfect replacement of
Ambrosini.
Gattuso.
Seedoff.
Flamini.
Merkel plays more like iniesta & schwenstaiga
in this site Merkl is so overrated kinda like bale…..i sgree he has skill but he needs to improve A LOT to be compared with bastian or even seedorf and pirlo
nobody actually thinks that theyre are or will defin ately be like those players. i think people are just saying they are similar in playing styles, so ould turn into players of that calibre.you are right though,almost everybody overrates anyone under 21. the only really talented players i see from our prima are merkel and verdi. strasser could be good, but i cant see being amazing or something
@ibitoye Ooh I’m sooooo scared.. Just stfu and keep your BS to your self..
@ryan lol yeah, I’m just saying he could be like bastian cause their both german! Sorry to say this but RIGHT NOW! These youngsters aren’t good enough to play first team! Loan out will be great for them! But It could be better to loan them out to cagliari, they trust youth talent more than a couple serie a teams..
Merkel is only 19 for Godsake. Wait till he is 25! Then he will be brilliant. If we are able to bring 2 new midfielders in summer transfer then Merkel and Strasser might be considered loaning out.
merkel ‘might’ be world class AT 25 @wcsg lol yah….Seeforf was even a key player for Ajax in 1996…..how in hell could he have been on the bench in 1998?
i heard we are going to get nocerino from palermo…
both good players with promising futures but they need playing time to develope as well as build confidence. Send them on loan til ateast january if not the whole year then next year they COULD be ready to play
Merkel n strasser could be loaned out for a season only bcos of our reinforcement in midfield else I believe both can improve with more playing time to gain more confidence.
sell them both 2 arsenl plus 30m for fabregas den get ganso for 30m sell casano. N get witsel now dats cl winning team right dere
i Dont Want Fabregeas Hes Overated Now Lol Even Arsenal Player say him Not good Nasri More Important , 30m can buy 2-4 good Player Or even More .he goal is 8 14 Assist On Season good Assist T.T xD
@Gansta. Thanks for the correction. He pushed me to the wall.
give them short term move to play much than make them bench warmer or even ballboy :D

MISJ 022
I feel they should be loaned out but for only 6months so as to get some playing time and also play together, after that, THEY SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK!!! They should be intelligently rotated in our formation in the 2nd half of the season, remember that mvb, gattuso, ambrosini are going to be 34yrs next season, so injury problems are going to set in. Taking a look at some combinations depending on the opponents and tactical set up for the game we can draw out something; (gattuso-mvb-merkel), (gattuso-ambro-merkel), (strasser-mvb-seedorf), (strasser-seedorf-flamini), (flamini-ambro-merkel), (gattuso-strasser-ambro), (flamini-seedorf-merkel), (strasser-mvb-flamini) etc….when merkel is deployed on the… Read more »
Guys I just heard that astori is staying in cagliari for 1 more year :( unfortunately. That means bonera will probably have more playing time now..
No Bonera wont be starting. Why? Because we have Yepes and Mexes. Bonera is 5th choice CB now… along with Onyewu if he stays.
loaning ’em out will be better for them if only if first team is guaranteed, they can form a nice midfield wit time.
No I don’t mean he will be starting.. No way! I meant that bonera will have some amount of playing time! While if astori comes he will probably have no playing time at all!
Actually I don’t believe he would. I think Mexes will be third choice, and then Yepes would be 4th choice. We have plenty of players to rotate… Mexes may actually be fighting for a starting position… and Nesta may get rested more this last season.
I can see why Astori didn’t want to come… and shouldn’t. With 4 CBs already there… it would be difficult for him to get any playing time.
Bonera will probably start on d wings…zamb is bound 2 get injured…
Abate and Taiwo will start as the halfbacks with Zambrotta as their backup. Bonera will only play if both are out and in Copa games. Antonini will play before him also if he stays.
I think Antonini should stay. He’s still a decent player for Coppa games.
omg. Geez fellaz every1 is bashn each other. Its just wat we think. Cant we express wat we feel. Lol. Som stay some go. Lol opinions vary. We will c until the last day of the transfer window. So plz respect every1s opinion and feelings. FORZA MILAN. ROSSONERO BLOOD 4 LIFE
Sell both, they will never reach Milan level. Sell Cassano also and bring in Ganso and Lamela. I just read Billy’s comment and he said Merkel is more like Iniesta – dude please get off the drugs you may be on!!!
luke ur the 1 who is on da crack buddy. I never said merkel is like iniesta. They will eventually b milan qaulity not now. Wana win cl bring in new players like i said. Duh read the right comments cuzo.
Billy,
I apologize, it was Raymond who said Merkel plays more like Iniesta lol. It sure looks like I am on the crack not you lol.
its aight cuzo soz 2 bro. N e way seriously every1 talkn about revolutionising milan but how without buying players. My opinion is dis. Buy ganso den loan him out till he gets his passport or its changed. Get lamela for the amf position. Witsel for lmf position. Montolivo for cm wit van bommel. N y not gago frm real madrid cheap good bak up better than flamini. Then the youngsters go out on loan and of course sell players like antonini. Bonera. Oddo. Cassano. Flamini ai dats wat i think. Wat do u think luke lol…
I may be wrong, but I don’t think that Milan can buy and loan Ganso to get around the rule. If Taiwo doesn’t get his French passport then Ganso can not be purchased.
Billy,
this looks great but I don’t think it will happen lol. Antonini, Bonera, Oddo, Cassano, Flamini must be sold immediately or given away as gifts lol. Lamela and Ganso is a must – Witsel would also be helpful. The problem is, Milan resigned almost all old players so there is not that much room for new ones now…
I think Antonini and Flamini should remain for an additional season. Gago? Blah. He’s crap. We can look elsewhere.
Damn too many problems!! Hope things work out!!
Two non eu slots.
Lamela has a EU passport, which means he would not be a problem. Ganso? I hope he arrives sooner rather than later. As we all know, Galliani and Braida are going to visit Brazil in the end of this month. Lets hope they pull out a magic!
