Galliani: “Milan wanted Lass, not Kaka”

106

ADRIANO GALLIANI has revealed Mister Y was Lass and reiterated that they didn’t approach Kaka.

The summer was full of speculations and assumptions and the real question was about the identity of Mr. X. But in the last days of market, following the injury of Mathieu Flamini, there appeared to be a Mr. Y too.

Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani said that Mister X is Alberto Aquilani and that Mr. Y stayed in Madrid, Spain. Now Uncle Fester reveals that the player Milan wanted was Real Madrid’s Lassana Diarra (26).

AC Milan 2011/2012: The Champions League squad list
Friendly: Como 1-2 AC Milan

The Italian journalist, Carlo Pellegatti, asked Galliani who was the player that got away from Milan in the last minute and Galliani, in front of the cameras and microphones of the Italian press, replied: “Lassana Diarra.” It was reported on the last day of the market that Lass rejected a move to Milan. In the end, Galliani moved for Antonio Nocerino and got the Italian for a ridiculous price of €1m + half of a Primavera player.

A lot was said about Milan’s possible interest in Kaka (29), who is still considered a legend between the walls of the San Siro. Galliani made it clear many times a move was impossible, and he says it again.

“We never made an approach to sign Kaka,” he said. “I’ve said it a million times that it would have been impossible for us to sign him due to his high wages and the difference in tax structure of Spain and Italy.” Kaka said himself that he wants to stay with Real Madrid and earn the trust of boss Jose Mourinho.

Imagine that. There was no Kaka plan.

rossonero23

thank goodness.

we already have enough past it players, no need for another one.

k

nocerino was a steal, good we got him..

Momen

i’ll be honest with u, as much as i love him, i dont want kaka back…i honestly don’t want my soup re-heated!

Gambit

Kaka is Average so is Alegri, the guy is lucky to have a squad with full of great players.With FM 2011 I won 6 trophies with Milan!

Derek

This is real life we are talking about, if your saying you are better then Allegri because you won 6 trophies on a game, then I’ll just let you think about that one

Pato Is Brilliant

yeah I admit it I was wrong all the time.. happy now???

Derek

haha not me who you were arrogant to dude

Karel Augusto

Yeah,and i beat barcelona with 4th division team 13-0 using FM RTE LOL

Giancarlo

So.. Was i wrong? Kaka was never coming back. Am i a bad person for saying the truth?

Derek

Well obviously “secret sources” on twitter are not as reliable as some think haha

Giancarlo

Gambit, awesome. BUT FM 2011 isnt reality and things happen differently in reality.

Reza

Plz sign diara next year.and maybe de rossi and ibra heir(federico macheda)

Gupta

Is Gambit a Milanisti? Or was he high on dope while he was typing?

alok

guptaji..hahahah lol gambit player hahaha

Gambit

Lol guys, I still dont think Allegri is the right coach for us. I prefer Carlo Ancelotti over him. :D

You guys wait and see I am going get my UEFA Coach diploma and become Milan coach!! We will win 6 trophies in 1 year mark my words!! Forza Milan!

alok

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Giancarlo

Carlo Ancelotti was great, but he played 4-3-2-1 and preferred the veterans over youngsters. Abate, Thiago Silva, Pato would all be bench warmers under him. Ancelotti ran out of ideas for milan.

And stop saying FM is everything. There are so many aspects in reality that are not taken into account.

rossonero23

btw..ancelotti won two, CL titles..should of been three.

show him some respect!

don carlo > dummy allegri

Ryan

Fabio Capello/Arrigo Sacchi > ALL

Ryan

Fabio Capello/Arrigo Sacchi > ALL

Ancelotti’s team was freaking boring

Giancarlo

I did show respect. I said he was one of our greats. But he ran out of ideas towards the end… and we ended up in 5th place because of his christmas tree formation.

Milanista

He used the christmas tree formation in his last years. It was dreadful.

rossonero23

what’s fm? sorry, i am ignorant!

fyah-mayne

football manager i think O,o

Giancarlo

You should know what it is lol…

rossonero23

wtf?

SupaPippo

I still don’t believe Galliani about Kaka, he wanted to bring him in i’m sure but then he said he wants to stay anf Flamini got injured so he turned to Lass. I don’t believe any word Galliani ever said and i’m always waiting for the facts. He’s indeed a Jigsaw. About Allegri. I believe he is our next big coach, he has balls to take decisions not everyone will like but are necessary. Sure he did some mistakes but it was his debut season here. And remember what we did to Inter (3-0). Just compare Leo’s season and his… Read more »

Kain

not many coaches got the balls to get rid of ronaldinho, so for a fact he does have balls!

haykay

i wlda bn dissappointed
i just cant help my lack of flair 4 this playa

Dave

I think it would be ignorant to think that there was never any approach or attempt to brng Kaka back…How often does Galliani say one thing and then another happens? The only reason he is saying this is because we weren’t able to get him. All of a sudden you believe what Galliani is saying; I love the guy and he is a transfer market genius, but I take everything he has with less than a grain of salt.

Toluene

Lol this is ridiculous

Mr Goph

Forza kaka. Still like u but don’t want u at Milan anymore.

Shervin

same here. still same kaka for me, but i dont want him back either anymore.

Kenny

On allegri, d lack of quick substitution was wot boders me, i hate dat.. But his a good coach

Pato Is Brilliant

tsk tsk tsk… Galliani is still lying.

Pete Acquaviva

You just won’t admit you’re wrong.

Karel Augusto

Hey,why you still here???
Kaka didnt come to milan….
LOL Jk

Derek

Yeah really at least admit you were wrong dude

Giancarlo

So Galliani is still lying? Typical. Well if he was lying Kaka would have joined but he didnt. Whats not to believe?

Giancarlo

I was always right about Kaka. Pib admit you are wrong. Be a man and show some integrity.

rossonero23

stop being so arrogant please.

sick of you saying you’re always right, which is obviously not true.

Pato Is Brilliant

Kaka was arriving. there was a done deal between Perez and Galliani. it was only Kaka who decided to stay as he wanted to prove himself in Madrid

Derek

That is also known as not arriving

Red&Black-indo

I remember once Pato Is Brilliant said something like “he will leave this blog if Kaka not come this summer”. am I right? cmiiw

Pato Is Brilliant

i followed alfredo Pudella on Twitter, he is a well respected expert, he claimed all this stuff an
d i believed him…

Derek

At least admit you were wrong man, you were pretty arrogant about it to, calling out multiple people on this blog

Ryan

u know wat? **** twitter! u waste time on that crap? ‘a well known expert’ the only freaking ppl who knows wat Gallaini said to Perez is THEMSELVES dumbass….

If u r gonna still be this arrogant…..get a life

Giancarlo

There was no done deal. According to everything I have read and investigated there wasnt even any talks. Your sources are lying to you PIB. Do the right thing and leave this blog… Or admit you were wrong.

Ryan

PIB is such a kid…..makes fake promises and still lingers to annoy…..like a virus u know?

Pato Is Brilliant

Hey I was wrong, unfortunately…

Giancarlo

Unfortunately? Why? So we could get a over hill the 29 year old? By the way you talk about Pedulla. I talk about Gianluca Di Marzio. He said over and over again a Kaka deal was impossible. Di Marzio wasn’t the only one I looked at. Many others said the same thing!

El Shaarawy looked quite good…

Pato Is Brilliant

Alfredo is Milan’s journalist and he knows all the affairs going in Milanello

Giancarlo

LOL No he’s not. And he doesn’t have a clue what was going on in Milanello because he didn’t get anything right. Didn’t even see Nocerino coming.

wiseguy

I don’t think this is actually PIB. He has a different avatar face thing next to his name so it’s probably someone impersonating him. :)

Eebrokaka

Giancarlo, would pato is brilliant’s apology put food on your table or add money to your account? The guy believes in what he know

Pato Is Brilliant

you should be grateful to Kaka because of his decision stayed put at Madrid,, oterwise he would have been wearing Milan’s jersey by now..

Giancarlo

No. “Milan never pursued Kaka. He is staying at Madrid because galliani didn’t want him to come back. He’s gone. He’s 29 almost 30… get over it.

Karel Augusto

It’s simple,we basically dont want another Shevchenko in the making(Kaka got hernia too)

Both of them are legends,but hey,life must goes on right…

Ajibola

Drama here all the time even after the transfer window. talk abt something else pls and not abt who is wrong or right. we have Barca game coming etc, Allegri has said he learnt 1 or 2 things from Porto game with them, what can we achieve. talk more senses pls

Giancarlo

You’re right. I thought all this crazy stuff would be over. But PIB is still insisting he was right… yet Kaka isn’t here. I was right. It’s time to look forward. Taiwo will come back in time for Barcelona from what I’m hearing.

Ajibola

The only way i think to stop Barca is to minimize their possession in our half and our midfielders should be prepared in such a way that they match Xavi and Iniesta’s tempo to break their play. Furthermore Barca do not only rely on when they have the ball but how they gain possession, we shld try not to be submissive to their mass confrontational approach o retaining the ball and except Ibra, other forwards should help in the midfield battle. Their defense is poor no doubt and thats why they rely on attack and quick possession recovery to protect… Read more »

Afanofmilan

I respect all u blog greats but could u pls drop d kaka drama? Ull turn dis place into a war zone again. Btw astute remark Gian . Carlo was gud 4 a time but wud have run dis club to d ground. Where is he ?

Giancarlo

Yeah. Ancelotti was good for one season for Chelsea, then fell out and got fired. At present, he’s unemployed.

mvbno9

why are people still talking about kaka he shunned a return to milan not surprising the way he was ousted,get over it.best of luck to him in madrid hope he rediscovers himself great player to watch wish him the best he will need it with jose in charge.milan will be fine without him if allegri plays cassano as playmaker.

Giancarlo

Me? I am always right whether you like to admit it or not. I was spot on all summer.

rossonero23

you know that’s not true..you were wrong about everything execpt Kaka..lol…

Giancarlo

No I was right the entire summer. And I even was the one that brought up Nocerino earlier as being linked to us.

Milanista

Oh complete cr*p. Like in the other article… previously you said that if Ganso wasn’t coming in the summer, he was never going to come. And now in the recent article, you said he is hopefully coming in January…and I caught you on that, and you have the nerves to reply to me that you never changed your story? I don’t give a cr*p if you you were right, learn to keep the story consistent and respect people. Teach yourself some manners please.

Milanista

You know when you said it? You said it to your beloved PIB. Here is the quote, “No, Ganso will not be joining us in January. IF we don’t sign him this summer, we will never sign him period.”

Sound familiar? The article was called “An opportunity” on July 22.

I believe you owe me an apology.

Giancarlo

Milanista you suffer from mental issues I think. I’d like him to arrive, but I know it’s next to difficult. And you can’t seem to make your mind… hence why you need to make two posts. But then again, you didn’t catch me on anything. I want Ganso to join Milan, but I know it’s highly unlikely to happen. I’ve come to accept those terms. My story is always consistent. YOu need to find some manners.

Giancarlo

I don’t think we will sign Ganso, but my feelings about wanting him to join Milan are unchanged, hence my position on the matter has always been consistent. I think he will join Porto or Real Madrid.

I won’t ever apologize to an inconsistent, lying fool like yourself.

rossonero23

you were about everything..you thought we’d sign ddr and schweinsteiger..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

grow up

Giancarlo

I never said that we would sign either, clown. Did I? I said we were linked to both players. You’re wrong.

agiri

Oohh pls…you all should shut up!!

Red/black is my blood

I always love people on this blog. Pib and giancarlo are great. I love the way pib admitted his flaws although it was what he heared.

Sometimes, we need to quarrel with ond another in other to get so closed. That’s life.

One love milan family

@allegri4young

Lass is a short man

TWF

i agree with Ajibola. pls talk something else.
i am boring to read about rumours on Kaka.
poor Pato… no article about his birthday.
for anyone who saw como vs milan, please comment about antonini. did he play well on midfield? what was his position, right/left/central DM? thanks for sharing.

Giancarlo

A warning about Milanista. He is now lying about what I have said. His idi*ocy should not be tolerated on this blog. I’ve said it many times. I like GAnso, I want him to join us in January, but it’s impossible.

Milanista

If you think I’m lying, then look at the article that I referenced. Look all you want. Your post will always still be there. Before, you say he is impossible, and now you say hopefully? What happened to the “period”. I didn’t want to pick a f*ght with you, but when you responded with utter disrespect, labeling me “loser” when I only asked a question, that p*ssed me off. If you don’t want people to take you the wrong way, explain your choice then. Don’t go on opening your mouth like some guy who doesn’t have an education, which I’m… Read more »

Giancarlo

LMAO. What a joker. I have always said I wanted Ganso to join Milan and I’d like him to join in January… but it is indeed impossible.

His price range is beyond what any Italian team can afford. Period.

It is apparent you are trying to pick a F*ght. Either start showing some respect to people who know more about Milan, or disappear.

You have no right to talk to me like the way you did, you disrespectful @$$.

Giancarlo

Milanista

I’l leave it at that as I do not want to start a f*ght.I don’t want a page going down with comments from you and me, as people will get annoyed. I don’t like talking sh*t to a person I do not even know, knowing that I am just typing behind the keyboard. If I talk sh*t, I confront them face to face. Its unseemly if people talk cr*p behind the keyboard.

Giancarlo

And you know what really annoys me? You come in here swinging… out of nowhere… and swinging at me… whenever others have made conflicting statements. You’re just like another guy who used to post on here (shervin).

Grow up.

Milanista

Swinging at you? Sorry, I’m sure asking you a question about your opinion is not swinging at you. Seriously, take a chill pill. Stop thinking the whole world is against you. I only got p*ssed off after you responded to me with such an attitude.

Milanista

Oh grand Giancarlo, yes you know everything. You even know me. You seem to know everybody on this blog. Take a chill pill and stop thinking the whole world is against you. I asked you a question about your opinion. That is it. Never *nsulted you.

Giancarlo

And you do? You don’t know what you’re saying. I never claimed I knew anyone on this blog. I don’t care to. I know for a fact about myself. You came out of nowhere swinging. That’s the problem. Your very response to me was insulting. You weren’t asking a question.

Milanista

“Didn’t you say if Ganso wasn’t coming this summer then he was never going to come? What happened to that?”

Sorry, is that not a simple, non-*ns*lting question? Yet you respond with d*sr*sp*ct.

Giancarlo

And yes, saying “complete cr*p”, and “learn some manners” is not insulting… hypocrite.

Milanista

Remember your own posts please. Or just stop making a habit of insulting others, because you can’t even remember. I never start a F|ght unless somebody responds to me with an insult, which you did.

Giancarlo

Why don’t you p*nk? Seriously. I never changed my story. You dyslexic forgetful f*reak.

Milanista

” I never changed my story lo*ser.” Is that how you explain the answer to my question? I found that rather |nsulting, so I got hostile towards you, which explains my comment aga|nst you on this article.

Giancarlo

You keep trying to make issues. I never changed my story, and I will stand behind that fact. Three posts and you didn’t make one solid point. You’re a l*ser. And that’s all you are. You’re not even worth another response. You’re sick.

Go post randomly somewhere else.

Milanista

Sure sure. Its use|ess argu|ng with a keyboard w@rrior. I truly deeply respect your knowledge of Milan and the Serie A, b*t certainly do n*t respect that att!tude. I’m sure a lot of people here feel that way.

Giancarlo

You’re the real w@rrior here. Pounding away several messages lmao. I’m not. I don’t even think I’ll give you another response beyond this one. You’re ridiculous. You’re wrong. You have a bad attitude. Grow up.

Giancarlo

LOL! I’m not the one typing out several posts saying the same old silly stuff. You need to show some respect. You have no knowledge of Milan.

Milanista

I tried to be nice and not st@rt a w@r. I guess not. Just go f*_k off and d!e you f*c_ing d!rt.

Giancarlo

Oh ST.F.U. Get a clue. You don’t even know what you’re saying… irrational l*t*tle B**ITCH.

Milanista

@moderators

Just delete all the insults between giancarlo and I on this page. I specifically wanted him to get him to respond to my question on another article, but it only happened after he insulted and I insulted, and now its just a game of insults. Bloggers should not be opening this page and then just seeing the comments section full of insults. Its unseemly for Milan fans.

Giancarlo

Then don’t post inflammatory sleazy non*s*ense. to me please. You’re a major hyp*crite.

wiseguy

OMG could u both STFU!!!!!

ronaldinho1992

i agree with galliani we need lass diarra no kaka.On kaka position we already have cassano robinho and el shaarawy.Diarra is for van bommel position milan will be ready for CL when sign diarra and ganso and montolivo.Aquilani i think is just player for now when we dont have montolivo.
