Galliani: “No new strikers in January”

77

ADRIANO GALLIANI rules out moves for Balo and Tevez, but opens door to a midfield signing.

The media all over the world has already started with the transfer speculations, even though it’s very far from the start of the January transfer market, and like every time, many names are associated with Milan.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Cassano stating they will retire in a few-years’ time, strikers have been linked with Milan lately, with some of them being Leandro Damião, Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli.

Allegri demands “big performance” against Palermo

“New strikers will not come in January, so that also rules out Tevez and Balotelli, even though the latter is a friend of mine. We will perhaps do something in midfield,” Galliani said today, as reported by Gazzetta.it. In midfield, Milan have so far been linked with Christian Eriksen, Riccardo Montolivo and Casemiro inter alia.

“The hard time was caused due to our preparation in the summer: we were working for the Supercoppa Italia [against Inter in Beijing – Milan won 2-1] and then we suffered many injuries,” the Milan CEO added.

Galliani also spoke of Ibra: “There are no problems. I talked to him and he said ‘Everything is ok boss’.”

Sheva7

Finally we are back to our senses.
Midfielders YES
I knew you still had it in you Galliani.
FU Haters!

nikfes

Eriksen and Monty!! That would be fantastic

Giorgi Sigua

A defender in the place of Boner-a would be good……
BTW,WE NEED MONTOLIVO AND ERIKSEN IN JANUARY ,NO MATTER WHAT…

Elias

Okej boss

Milan 4ever

In FIFA the formation I play with for milan is a 3-4-1-2 and it is gr8.
I play GK:abbiat CBs:Nesta-T.silva-mexes LDM:Taiwo RDM:Nocerino for RM:boateng and for LM: Aquilani CAM: Robinho STs:Pato and Ibra…
i dnt know if it would work in real life i also use abate as a sub for one of aquilani and boateng and cassano for either robinho or pato and MvB or emanuelson as a last sub to either hold to my lead or add extra speed to add goals.
what do u all think???

Afanofmilan

If they do cme , i wil throw a party 4 ril.

ChicoMarques

I don´t like casemiro, M´Vila is better!

verdi120

we do need midfielders cos it has been a MESS since the start of the season and play taiwo at leftbak…done……,!

Rossonero 23

T R E Q U A R T I S T A

Saman

Finaly somebody talk sense. All we need is a trequartista.
No defender, no dmf, no attacker.

Rossonero 23

we need a guy who can link midfield to attack…

and no, i am not referring to kevin constant. lol

Giancarlo

Then who are you referring to? Ganso who costs 56 million euros? Please.

You hate Eriksen. You hate a variety of players. You hate any player I like… then tell me who? 29 year old Kaka? lmao.

Sheva7

What the heck are you talking about Giancarlo.He actually said we have to forget Ganso and get Eriksen.

Giancarlo

He said he prefers Kaka. That’s what he’s said to me in recent past. I know this guy all too well. I’m surprised he’s back here.

Saman

You hate everybody that like or respects kaka. I think the word kaka upsets u more than u remember him as a legend at milan. And as a matter of fact, u claimed kaka isnt even legend at milan. And what does age have to do with this?

You dont say 30 year old ibra, but u make kaka sound 229 years old. You have to be a milan fan just for 1-2 years ago, other wise u wouldnt insult such great player

Just my thought..

Sheva7

He said he prefers Kaka to Prince not Eriksen.

Giancarlo

Saman you can’t be serious. Do you even know what I have said in the past? I appreciate what Kaka has done, but it’s time to move on. Kaka isn’t a legend at Milan. People like Baresi, Costacurta, and Maldini were the legends. I would even argue Inzaghi is more of a legend. Come on. Get back to reality please.

Rossonero 23

i hate eriksen??? lol…where have i said that? again, stop putting words in my mouth. i like eriksen, but i doubt we sign him. ajax declined a bid from Citeh….so what chance do we have? honestly…

we can’t afford ganso btw….or any of the high priced brazil players.

i really dont know tbh…vdv???

no constant though, that would be a disaster…

black milanista

I think honestly remembered you saying forget Ganso bring Eriksen think it was yesterday or the day before with all due respect to Giancarlo. Sheva7 is right you guys need to stop snaping at each other for one’s personal views just don’t respond or respond respectfully..Forza Milan

Giancarlo

He said to me time and time and time and time again that Eriksen was not Milan quality and was average. I guess he saw Eriksen against Portugal and suddenly changed his mind.

Rossonero 23

i never said i hated him though…thats the point.

Giancarlo

Your points are a disaster. They always have been. You couldn’t be further from the truth. You always hated Eriksen. You said he was a rubbish player. You said that to me several times.

We have a great chance of landing Eriksen. And Ajax didn’t decline anything. Eriksen declined the move to City. It just goes to show you’re not up to date on anything.

Sammy

Yes Eriksen declined the move to City. But I had heard him saying that he is interested in Barca, most likely a childhood obsession. Not likely Barca would buy him or need him. Eriksen´s asking price is between 15-30€milj. Montolivo should also be bought.

Sheva7

Actually it was Eriksen who refused them so we do have a chance :)!

greg

fine by me, strikers aren’t needed. But I don’t want some mediocre Serie A player like Constant or Naingollan. And that supercoppa excuse is pretty lame!

Idowu

Hope he would bring out money and not just talking.
Forza Milan.

Aj...

We won’t be paying 25 Million plus for M’vila , arsenal is on his tail , we need a quick midfielder , we need to match up with the pace of english football !

Afanofmilan

As long as he is not constant . I wud rily luv ganso if he cud b fit . I just dont c us gettin eriksen this winter . We dnt nid strikers 4 now .

arya

what happend to ganso

zamparini

Don’t count your chicks before they are hatched,another saga will soon be unfolded,don’t expect anything in January.The Mr.x thing still haunts me,it was very disappointing.

Giancarlo

Says the guy who doesn’t quite follow the news. And let it haunt you… because it doesn’t bother the rest of us. I view the facts. Not media distortions.

Milano Q8

Eriksen is a fantastic payer, i always wanted to have since last season. But what about Ganso ???!!! I would have both of them play for Milan as our future player. Forza Milan

verdi120

oh yeah and the promising shot stopper Mihaylov cos abiatti is now inconsistent
4za rossomilan…)

Sammy

Inter – Palermo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeb5b516a_M
Ibra can handle this as he did the two goals. Robinho as a trequartista to Cassano and Ibra will smack Palermo hard.

Giancarlo

He recognizes that we need to do something to revamp up the midfield… and it could very well be Eriksen. Arsenal won’t buy M’Vila. They hardly spend any of their money.

Ouch!

While ur at bringing in a few, u could also offload a few aswel, Bonera? Antonini? maybe Ambro an Gattuso? Or they can probably wait till summer an say thanx an bye bye :) But the antonera disease must go in january ASAP! Lol

Giancarlo

Gattuso may have to retire from football completely, lets be a bit more respectful. It saddens me the whole thing with Gattuso…

Ouch!

I dont look at rino with anything other than respect! And the thought of him physically raping someone on the field lol getting sent off and leaving the team one man down in a handicapped state. But yeh I respect everything he has done for us but its time for a change, and let the new gen take over.

Giancarlo

Then you clearly don’t understand the impact he has had on this team. Getting sent off? I can’t remember the last time he got sent off. From what I recall Ibra did more last season.

And whoever is rating my posts down, please stop.

Peregrin

Casemiro would be interesting for life after Van Bommel. I don’t know much about him but I believe he fills Van Bommel’s spot. Montolivo would not surprise me and Eriksen? That would be great and it could well happen.

mr. rational

Montolivo is the man. If we get erikesen in january then fortune favours milan.

Afanofmilan

The animosity is astounding

Afanofmilan

Wat of kallstrom ? He seems gud enuf .

Afanofmilan

Just lukin at other players who aint ganso , monty or eriksen cus to be frank, dis is gettin old

Giancarlo

Kallstrom is not young. Not a long term reinforcement.

Ryan

Ajax never rejected any bid from City

Eriksen did and why wouldnt he? He would hardly get any play time there

15-25m bid should be enough for him. If all goes well that is

Giancarlo

Exactly. Ajax was willing to sell actually… but Eriksen refused and doesn’t want a move to the Premier League at all from what I’ve heard. He would not play much at City.

Rossonero on the other hand keeps on saying Ajax refused a bid. But he doesn’t follow the news.

They already have David Silva and Samir Nasri. Both who are attacking midfielders, and both who would start over Eriksen. I don’t think he would go to City just to be third choice.

Ryan

and someone is copying my name

PLEASE STOP!

Giancarlo

Hey Rossonero, next time read Italian sources before you rip my head off. It’s clear to me (like in the Taiwo article where you demonstrated unwillingness to admit your inaccuracies), that you refuse to read the sources.

Rossonero 23

lo…i saw the article. it was on the front page of the site ffs…..

i cant make that up….

Giancarlo

Youcan’t make that up? LMAO. You make up stuff all the time.

Rossonero 23

yea i might exaggerate sometimes, but not this time.

calm down..please!:D:D

Afanofmilan

Also a gai like affelay . Yung , fast n extremely versatile .

zamparini

If wishes were horses buggers would have ride on them…hahahahaha keep on dreaming some people are soo gullible
I would not be deceived anymore.
Forza Milan

Giancarlo

Who is gullible? You better not be referring to me. I’m stating fact. Don’t like it? Well that’s not my issue.

Afanofmilan

Such ignorance . There is a diffrence between gulibility and being hopeful . Who’s deceivin who ? Like if they come u wont be happy .

Rossonero 23

you can always be pessimistic….haha

boateng_ganas

Don’t believe This man Word..New mildfield??He said a champion will come early..he is mafia

zamparini

I will be very glad if they come but unfortunately they will never come,your hope is fools hope

zamparini

Oho,Messi,Christiano Ronaldo,Xavi,Rooney,Muller,Suarez all of these players will be coming in January how about that…..This what i am also hoping for hahahahahaha

Giancarlo

Please… end this ridiculous talk. You are not in a position to criticize anyone.

MoMilan

Guys reports says that we MIGHT lose Monty for Man Utd
And Ganso ‘s price is not 56 mil Neymar is 45 mil so…

axelynx

I don’t think man utd will sign monty.
They already have cleverley (rising stars),anderson,carrick,fletcher,and some more in that position, and as long as I know man utd plays with 2 wingers, 1 advanced midfield, and 1 holding midfield.last summer they didn’t buy modric because of cleverley plays brilliantly in pre-season match. :)

Milan is strongly linked with monty and eriksen now. And vdv has a big chance to come too according to reports.

Well I’d like to see ganso,monty,and eriksen here! Such a hope! Maybe january’s gonna be big for us, instead of annoying mr.x saga!

Afanofmilan

Now dats just bein unrealistic. Why do u tink we cant buy them ? Money ? Prestige ?

Afanofmilan

If he does go to man u or any oda team , it wil hurt a lot

Simo

We havent spent so much in summer, so we can spend in winter market. Monty will arrive for sure. It’s just the question of time.
But i dont know Casemiro – i can read his stats, but i havent seen him play. Neither Eriksen. Both told to be great, but i’m not sure until i see them play.
We clearly need new midfilders to replace our champions.

Ibitoye

Sheva why do you like Ericksen and Wijnadum so much… I love Elm…

Sheva7

I like Eriksen but i have no idea who Wijnadum is.

Salih

What is a trequartista?

milanfan

Someone who plays behind the strikers. Recently, that’s where Boateng has been playing for us.

Ariel

In januari…sign eriksen as trequartista, n monty as regista..that’s all.

Fynix

what strike? i never heard about any strike, can anybody put me through?

Fynix

Someone who plays behind the strikers. Recently, that’s where Boateng has been playing for us. In januari…sign eriksen as trequartista, n monty as regista..that’s all.

Fynix

signing of Galiani wont be a problem

greg

I’ll tell you all right now I’m convinced Aquilani is better than Montolivo, better technique, Montolivo would be fine as a Van Bommel replacement but I don’t want him taking a creative slot like he does for Italy. I just hope to god Milan are decisive in the market instead of “waiting for an opportunity”

dieformilan

Milan should buy monty, gotze and lucas biglia…with boateng,milan midfield will be deadly!!!forza milan!!!!
