ADRIANO GALLIANI says that Alberto Aquilani is Mister X but Mr. Y is in Madrid.
The market is finally, and officially closed and Milan ended their transfer campaign with a good last-minute signing of Antonio Nocerino, and Galliani states that Nocerino was “an opportunity”, like Uncle Fester says.
Milan signed Nocerino for only €1m and half of the young defender Ricardo Ferreira. Nocerino, currently with the Italian national team squad, signed a five-year deal at Milan and Galliani revealed how he got him.

“Yesterday I was in my office, then someone told me about this possibility. I went straight to a hotel nearby, no one saw me go in. Really, I hadn’t expected this to happen, but then this last minute chance presented itself…” Galliani, who said he was not lying about the market being closed for Milan, said on Thursday.
“After 25 years, I’m well aware that it’s results on the field that determine the value of transfers. I think the market results will be seen in May, not now. Mister X is here, he’s Aquilani. Mr. Y was a foreigner and has remained in Madrid.” Milan were linked with a few players from Madrid: Kaka, Lass Diarra and more.
Milan got Taye Taiwo, Philippe Mexes, Stephan El Shaarawy, Alberto Aquilani and Antonio Nocerino.
not even a 5 year old believes that Aquilani is Mr. X; there was never a Mr. X, they were waiting for a cheap opportunity it wasn’t there so they went for the average player (Cheapest). Next time don’t promise a World Class player.
After all the speculations and tension,if Aqualani was the soo called mr x then big SHAME unto Galliani for fooling the fans.Dont promise something u can not provide.
Mister x was hamsik, or pastore, or bastian… they couldn´t reach their prices, so now “mr x” is an average player… Aquilani is good, but thats it, not a star. Montolivo is way better. BUT he will come for free, probably in january
This mercato’s additions are average – honestly speaking I think our main power for next season is that our team players are more familiar with each other, especially for the Calcio. However – for the UCL, we must consider the fact that we have added Cassano & Van Bommel (they were cup tied last year) in addition to our summer acquirements. I say for next season, my hopes are for the Scudetto , Copa Italia & something high in the UCL – remember since our Max said Barcelona “in most people’s opinion – other than MOU- the strongest team in… Read more »
Aquilani was worth 16 million in the beginning of the transfer market galliani pulled another rabbit out of his hat he will only pay him6 million. Aquilani is on of italys best and if you are one of italys best youare amongs the bestin the world. you will all beeating your words and praising aquilani and galliani
A politician LIED?? THIS IS SCANDALOUS!!
Get over it. We had a fantastic market, given the fact that Berlusconi didn’t have money to give to Galliani.
Uncle Fester is still the master.
Milan is a great team which needs player investment,i mean quality player investmemt soo if Berlusconi has no money to spent any more then the club have to be sold.
Aquilani for 6mil… Forza Galliani… I don’t care who Mr.X or Mr.Y was… It was a big joke…
