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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Milanisti the world over are anticipating a big signing this coming August, maybe two. Last year, at the eleventh hour, both Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were signed. Their arrival was a major reason behind Milan’s Scudetto success as they went to contribute 27 goals between them in the league. Much the same is expected again [...]
As I have mentioned before, this time of the year is a trying one as our emotions sway with every new rumour that emerges. In the case of rumours linking Cesc Fabregas to a move to Milan, only excitement tinged with a slight anxiety is felt. Conversely, talk of Amauri being signed by the club [...]
As August approaches the excitement and anticipation grows as the time when Mr. X will be finally revealed edges closer. Milan’s transfer campaign, once it comes to an end, will be remembered for the club’s ever elusive hunt for this Mr. and maybe we could remember it as ‘The Summer Hunt for Mr. X’. Though [...]
Milan’s vice President has made the club intentions clear for next season: to win the Champions League.
