Official: FIGC increases non-EU quota to 2 players

78

GOOD NEWS for Milan, and Italian teams, as now they will be able to sign another non-EU player.

The “Secondo extracomunitario” or the second non-EU slot has been approved this afternoon at the Lega Calcio and the Italian teams will be able to sign two players who don’t hold a European passport again.

This decision has a big effect of the transfer market of the Italians: Napoli want Arturo Vidal, Inter are after Carlos Tevez, Juventus on Michel Bastos and Danilo and the Rossoneri are interested in Ganso & Danilo.

Thiago Silva would welcome Hamsik arrival
Maldini: “Ibrahimovic is like Van Basten”

One slot is already used by Milan following the signing of the Nigerian Taye Taiwo on Bosman transfer. It would not be a surprise if Milan will not sign any non-EU player this summer, but wait until January.

Lazio President Claudio Lotito believes “it will help to bring the best players to Italy.” The quota was 1 player because the Federation wanted the big teams to use more Italians; the experiment failed.

time to sign GANSO

Unnis

Welcome ganso to Milan but I would love to see Honda from Japan to join and cover the LM position

Chandler

I’d love to see Honda! He’s a fireball!

Pasha

Glad to see others agree with me. I’d def prefer Honda, we need a good free kick taker and playmaker following departure of Pirlo

milan

freekicks? he is very good but so is ibra and taiwo

AC MILANOO

Nani & Honda & Hulk Come to Milan

Shervin

Honda would be PERFECT for LM position. I thought he was going to Arsenal. We should get him.

Yehez Kiel

people know that 2 non-eu slots arent enough and in about 3- years.. it’ll be increased to 3.. and so on ;)

Yehez Kiel

** 3 – 5 years

bucci

i hope not

Unnis

Honda from Japan but plays In CSKA Moscow

billy

Daniyal

Please sign ganso don’t danilo .
We have abate .

Andrea

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

zino

no more excuse,galliani should go and get ganso before other teams start chasing after him,cos he is the man we all want

ahmad

wellcom to milan ganso!!!

Sohel Sharif

Welcome to Taiwo, Ganso, nd Danilo…i hope Taiwo got his french passport…thn our formations could be (4231)
Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Silva, Taiwo; MVB, Gattuso; Robinho, Prince, Ibra; Pato…

D-Bo

I agree that this is what I was thinking when I saw the headline. Hopefully Taiwo can get that passport and a double purchase of Ganso and Danilo will go through. Personally, I would still prefer to have a player like Schweinsteiger, but I’d be excited to Have Ganso and Danilo on board. Would be interesting to see a lineup of: Abate – Nesta – Silva – Taiwo Danilo – Van Bommel – Robinho Boateng/Ganso/El Shaarawy Pato – Ibra with Cassano, Emanuelson, Flamini, Mexes coming off the bench. It provides a lot of creative options in that midfield with the… Read more »

wiseguy

I’d prefer:

Abbiati
Abate – Nesta – Silva – Taiwo
Danilo – MVB – Boateng
Ganso/Robinho
Pato – Ibra

Sohel Sharif

Nd aft Ganso & Danilo learn Italian football…
4312
Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Silva, Taiwo; Danilo, MVB, Ganso; Prince; Robinho, Pato

(enkel)

Ooups…this is a good news, time to make a wise decision

thiagosilva86

Please Sign ARTURO VIDAL

deepak

so ganso should now wear MILAN kit in BRAZILS next copa america match

Pato Is Brilliant

Time to party! Welcome Ganso!

Bassie

This is a good decision by the FIGC. But people don’t forget what the one non-EU slot was about. In Italy there’s a lack of promising Italian youth.The whole spirit of the rule was to get teams to start producing thier own talent. Which is not a bad idea but it’s hard to execute.Usually there’s a B team to get experience in but in Italy and England the B team can’t play in the second division like in Spain.So you have to be creative like Udinesse,their B team just won promotion to La Liga.Udinesse have 7 players on loan at… Read more »

rossonero23

Wait….I thought Taiwo received his passport???? LOL.

We won’t sign Ganso btw….he’s too expensive.

Maybe a player like Lazzari or Marchisio.

rossonero23

ole ole ole ole taiwo taiwo ole ole ole ole taiwo taiwo..

Giancarlo

You’d pass up on a excellent left back like that, when we haven’t had a good left back in several years because…?

You make less sense every day. Why do you bother posting here?

rossonero23

Typical Carlo. Always insulting others. You have the superior complex disease. You are not better than everyone.

Here’s some advice, grow the hell up!!!

C H I L E hahahahaha

Giancarlo

You are just dumb. That’s the problem.

rossonero23

You still have some maturing to do……….
:D:D

Giancarlo

Let use it wisely.

We will have two spots now since Taiwo will get his passport.

That part on this article was speculation by this site.

You’re an idiot, rossonero23.

rossonero23

Ganso and Vidal?
Taiwo got his passport, can you show us some evidence?

Idiot? Typical…..G

Giancarlo

You say things without using your brain. And then you say even more stupid things like “We will get Lazzari Or Marchisio”. We’re not Juventus. If you want to cheer on a midtable team go cheer on Juventus. We came in 1st and we will get top names.

So use your head for once.

Dark Knight

btw where did u read taiwo got his passport or going to get his passport in time.. because that would b awesome news..

chitty -chitty bang -bang

I have come to realize rossoneri23 always post sarcastic comments in every news article !

john

milan should sign vidal or another good LM, that’s what we need this year.
we don’t need ganso this year, maybe next year.

MoMIlan

Next season we need a player that can take MvB’s place since that is the most important position in the midfield
I guess montolivo would b great.And not forget ganso and another LCM we would be set for a TRIO

ronaldinho1992

oleeee oleeeeeeeeeeeeee oleeeeeeeeeeeeee ganso will come grande grande grande

Red/black is my blood

Giancarlo & rossonero23, pls stop all these insultive and abusive words. Other fans are also with us every time, even if they dont paticipate in commenting with us. Pls for God’s sake. Forza Milan

Giancarlo

You’re not the website moderator. You’ve already said this a few times. He’s getting on my nerves… what’s his problem? Lazzari? Marchisio? We’re not getting either. We’re not Juventus. It pisses me off. Juve can’t even sign Aguero.

rossonero23

Insults? I haven’t insulted anyone. Time and time again, Giancarlo insults every user on this website. He needs to calm down, and accept other peoples opinions.
:D:D

Giancarlo

You’re the one who said we will use our non-EU options on Lazzari and Marchisio. What are they? Malaysian or something? LMAO. You’re just dumb.

rossonero23

Obviously, people agree with me.

And yet again, more insults. Grow up dude.

Giancarlo

Stop rating up your own posts. You don’t see me doing that. So where are Lazzari and Marchisio from? Maybe Honduras? LOL. Where?

We’re not discussing either player, and we are not linked with either player. Marchisio is probably going to Roma now. And Lazzari is not linked to us… he’ll probably go to Genoa or Napoli… maybe Fiorentina too.

zac

i’d like to see a double swoop for ganso and danilo if taiwo gets his passport, and i’m hoping schweinsteiger is mr.X. with those signings i would be a happy man

D-Bo

I agree completely.

Sincerly Rossoneri

Hey guys, have you ever seen Ganso? (Youtube doesn’t count) he is not the world class player most of people think, don’t believe everything press says. Dont believe than just because he’s brazilian he would become a crack performing at milan…Think about it

wiseguy

the real question is: Have YOU ever seen ganso play? Becos mark my words, ganso is just as good, maybe better, than what everyone makes him out to be.

Phil8686

Personally I say save those Slots. Get Lamela who already has an italian passport and is 1/6th the price of ganso. I would much rather have lamela, as he is twice as fast, from his videos and watching some of rivers games he has excellent dribbling. He is also good with both feet. Now for the 2 slots. Vidal would be a great option, and also I believe we should keep that other slot just in case Taiwo doesn’t get his passport. As for mr.x. I know pato is brilliant wont agree. But i think it is Bale. Berlusconi fully… Read more »

Forza Milan

NOW LET GO FOR GANSO AND STOP PLAYING AROUND BECAUSE TIME IS RUNIING.

Milan1

I agree Bale could be our mr.x even though we don’t play with wings I think milan will tweak thek systyem to fit him in. Maybe change to a 4-4-2. Everyone is obsessed with him in Italy especially both milan clubs.

Kaka should not be considered!

Vidal would be excellent signing!

milanfan

imo, our best move would be vidal or montolivo. for amf, any1 with a decent amount of experience. i mean, we played ok with boateng as amf, so its not too much of a problem. we just need some1 who has played in the champions league before and done well, nd who can PASS. maybe nasri or modric. ganso would only be a good signing if we sign some1 as good as schweinsteiger for cm

milan

after thinking about it, best thing to do and what fits alegris pans best is to sign nasri/hamsik and vidal.this is also very likely.we know weve bid for vidal already, and hes box to box DM that knows how to attack, allegri loves that.hamsik is more combative AM and we know we are interested in him.nasri is a perfect galliani signing, world class, right age, wants to leave, last year of his contract, and arsenal would rather sell to us then united.i am expecting ganso and maybe nasri though, if napoli is too stubborn

yehez kiel

Guys I heard taiwo is recognize as a ‘non-EU’ so we only have 1 spot left!

milan1989

stop talkin bout ganso and get honda ganso was terrible sunday

Excited

Love u Giancarlo ou are the best hahaha you the best bro, hope udo great in life, love u and kisses.
Love u Giancarlo

Yemeni-Milan

Honestly Ganso did not play well at all on Sunday, I would rather have Vidal!!!!!

zac

i’d love to see ganso tear apart paraguay and see all these haters change their minds and say they love ganso.i’m not saying he’s the greatest player, but come on, it’s just one game. everyone has a bad game once in a while. if he plays horribly in the next couple games, than bash the kid all you want, but let’s just wait and see…

Giancarlo

Oh while I criticized his performance, I still wanted him to join Milan. Honda is absolutely useless don’t know why people bring up his name.

zac

yes, i know your stance on ganso, i’m just talking about everyone on here expecting him to play amazing all the time. he’s only 21, it’s his 2nd game for brazil, 2nd game back from injury, and most the pressure was on him(and neymar). he doesn’t have the same experience of players like kaka, robinho, or even pato, but over time he will learn alot and grow. people seem to forget how well he played in copa libertadores

Giancarlo

Agreed, which is why I hope we get him this summer, rather then later. People think I’m crazy for him, but I really take into consideration the entire squad. I think Vidal would also be great… but he seems to be heading to Bayern at this time.

Dohner

what about montolivo? have we given up on him?

Giorgio

Giancarlo, Vidal is not going to Bayern even if they offered 40 mln..
Voller, Leverkusen’s general director said that they will only sell him abroad.
Juve is closer though,since they already met with his agents

rossonero23

How am I rating up my own posts? That sounds like something you would do, as you’re obsessed with yourself.
Some of those posts have more than one vote. In case you haven’t noticed, you’re only allowed to rate a post once.

Now go home and get your shine box!

Giorgio

u get him, soldier!!! :P

rossonero23

That was a Goodfellas reference btw.

Dohner

No one cares. most of the shit you say is pointless

Ryan

we havent announced ANYTHING YET why is everyone so worked upover Mr X ?? enjoy the summer guys

Nicu34

LET’S SIGN GANSO AND LAMELA

Aliyu

Giancarlo and Rossonero. y do u guys insult yourselves on dis blog all d time? since d figc have increased the slot to 2 spots and taiwo is going to get his european passport. vidal already have a german passport. i think we should go for ganso and lamela. but i hope d xtension of seedorf wil allow us sign ganso.

Simo

That would be perfect, if Taiwo would get his EU-passport, and we would sign both the brazilians.
That would be a great deal. But i would be happy if only Ganso would arrive. We need a real traquarista.
The perfect signing for me (for this summer): Ganso, Danilo and Montolivo (or maybe Fabregas).
Abbiati-Abate, Nesta/Mexes, T. Silva, Taiwo- Gattuso/Danilo, Van Bommel/Montolivo, Boateng- Ganso- Ibrahimovic, Pato

john

no matter what.
uncle fester should start make his move, before is 2 late, I read Nasri will sign for City, and now also Inter will make a move for Lamela.

kester

Great Rosseneri!!! I great u all.Thank God 4d good news.i best prefer milan 2bring in players with ”good passing n creatve ability,great physique n high,good shoot n eyes on goal n perfect marking ability” 2 absorb pressure when on defencive inch.We knw dat our midfield lack these qualities,we are only blessed with marker dat lacks creativity like ”Kpb, Flamini,Gattoso,Mvb,Capt.Ambro”.these trash wnt gve us any more silver wear 4n italy nt 2talk UCl.Vidal,Bastein Switn,Bale will be perfect 4next competition.Ganso n lamela 4d future… THIS IS THE HIGH 2 GREATNESS…

john

spot on kester

wiseguy

could u cut down on the amount of abbreviations ur using in your post? It makes it really hard to read u know.

SupaPippo

I just read CSKA is valuing Honda at 25mil and Juve are no longer interested. Galliani could work on that and lower the price. And Taiwo should get his EU passport ASAP

rossonero23

honda? pass…..
