Galliani’s chase for Tevez has left him red-faced
Milan transfer guru Adriano Galliani definitely knows how to work a bargain. Since 1986, when he started his long and prosperous career at the Via Turati, the man known as Uncle Fester has been the man behind the scenes. The one who has engineered deals that have seen so many of the world’s best players [...]
From derby loss to Novara win: a week of increasing fortunes for Milan
It has been an odd week for Milan. From the low that last Sunday’s derby loss sank us to, the club’s fortunes rose steadily from one day to the next ending in triumphant fashion with a convincing 3-0 win over Novara. The loss to the ‘Tinkerman’s’ Nerazzurri posed serious questions over Max Allegri’s men, from [...]
Derby loss highlights key problem
I had the same feeling as those thousands of Milan fans at the San Siro on Sunday night who left their seats early. A feeling of resignation, hopelessness and defeat even before the final whistle was sounded. It was by no means the worst Milan performance ever, but, it was far from the best. We [...]
Not the best preparation for Milan ahead of the Derby della Madonnina
It has been a topsy-turvy week for Milan ahead of Sunday’s clash with our dislikeable cousins Inter. The headlines have been dominated by the transfer fiasco involving Carlos Tevez and Alexandre Pato which has left doubts regarding the harmony, or lack of, at the Via Turati. Milan’s obsessive chase for Tevez the football mercenary escalated [...]
The Milan derby to sign Carlos Tevez
The recent resurgence of Inter in the Serie A and Milan’s status as defending champions are nicely setting up what should be an intense and fiercely fought Milan derby on Monday. Of course, fireworks are always expected whenever these two sides meet at the San Siro. But, with the Nerazzurri desperate to continue their climb [...]
The Dubai Challenge: A most interesting waste of time
It may have been called the Dubai Challenge and Massimo Ambrosini may have receive a rather extravagant trophy relative to the significance of the whole affair, but, there is no denying that the match played between Milan and Paris Saint-Germain was played more in the spirit of a friendly. Carlo Ancelotti, who took to the [...]
Oh no, not Molinaro
Ever since Paolo Maldini retired in 2009 to the completely undeserving jeers of a certain few ultras – inexplicable this happened to such legend of the club – the left full back position has been a problem area for Milan. The club’s attempts to find the solution have seen one failure after the next, to [...]
Unhappy Pato to leave Milan?
Reports linking Milan striker Alexandre Pato have been gaining pace in the last week. The player himself has expressed his discontent with Max Allegri and it has been rumoured that Paris Saint-Germain have offered €50 million for his services – with the deal already agreed in principle between the two clubs. “(Former coach Carlo) Ancelotti [...]
Tevez could still come to Milan; but who will have to leave?
Milan’s determination to sign Carlos Tevez has been unrelenting. I understand that Tevez is a great player, of this there is no doubt. But, given his off-field troubles which have kept him off the field at City, it’s a little bizarre how Adriano Galliani and Co. are pulling out all the stops to get their [...]
AC Milan to play Leonardo’s Paris Saint-Germain
The winter break is now upon us which means no Serie A action until January 8. What will we do now? However, during this time there is at least one enticing encounter to look forward to; the 2012 Dubai Football Challenge which will see Milan take on Paris Saint-Germain. It is a match that will [...]
