The Brazzilian Dream..R10(R11??) is ours!

A dream called, Ka-Pa-Ro! has come true. We have finally had the 'Best Transfer' of the season come our way. Hats off to Barca. The way they handled Ronaldinho is to be admired. You can have many offers for a player like R10, 2 time World player of the year, but at the end what matters is where he wants to go and not the biggest offers. No prizes for guessing he chose AC milan over Manchester City:-).. They should try for R7 instead, but they'll have to tackle Madris this time..Lolz!! Dinho is a Rossoneri and the fact that he was received by more than 4000 fans at the airport and a press confrence with 40000 people waiting to catch a glimpse prooves the excitement of Milan fans. The Ka-Pa-Ro mania is gonna take the Serie A by a storm and to Mr.Seedorf- Drop all your issues->Give No.10 to the man of the moment->And make this formation possible-:

Dida(GK)

Zambrotta(RB) Nesta(CB) Kaladhze(CB) Jankluvoski(LB)

Flamini(RDM) Gattuso(LDM)

Pirlo(CM)

Kaka(RF) Ronaldinho(LF)

Pato(ST)

Hope to see this after the first 7 or 8 games though.. Cheers!!

From The Memories

He's no longer the team manager, but Ramaccioni remains a historical reference point for the club. The accompanying manager of the home games, at Milan since 1982, talks about himself and his Rossoneri world.

MILAN - Forty-six years in the football world, forty-four years on the bench, twenty-six at Milan. We will no longer call him team manager, but we will continue saying his name and associate it with the Rossoneri colors and the club he has collaborated with since 1982. Silvano Ramaccioni is a member of the family and he will remain in the family in the role of accompanying manager of the home games. His passion is the same as on the first day, the enthusiasm is the same as always. Of who feels a total love of football, which is perfectly perceptible when reading his words during an interview given today, Sunday 13 July, to 'Corriere della Sera'.

'To tell the truth I am covering a role I had already covered in the year of Zaccheroni's scudetto. Sundays without football would be very sad for me. I'm proud of my career: in 46 years of work, I have spent 44 on the bench. I'm sure no one has seen as many games as I have.'

Silvano Ramaccioni, 'Rama' for his friends at Milanello, remembers his arrival at Milan in 1982:

'I came to Milan in May, the team was already relegated. I came in as sporting director. We won the Serie B league but those were tough years, the club was close to failing. Until Silvio Berlusconi came.
I was at the end of my contract. If the new management wanted to send me away they could have. But Berlusconi told me: "Everyone talks well about you. If you want to you can stay." And he came up with the idea of the team manager.

Ramaccioni also answered some trivia questions. Here are the questions and answers:

Which coach are you particularly close to?
'I had a particular feeling with Fabio Capello also in our free time since we hunted together and we traveled around the world.'

The craziest character who passed through Milanello?
'Three names for three eras: Filippo Galli, Di Canio who was very witty and currently Oddo.'

The biggest troublemaker?
'Contra was pretty extravagant, as was Davids.'

The most religious?
'Albertini. Each Saturday before a home game at Milanello we celebrated the Mass. Now we are just 3 or 4, but in the 90s there were 12-15. Baresi, Tassotti, Sacchi, Capello would all come. Taribo West prayed in the dressing rooms, and Chamot gave Bibles to team mates and journalists.'

How many times did you have to calm things down from the bench?
'I cannot count how many times I had to pull Sacchi's coat to make him sit down to prevent him getting a red card.'

Do you have any regrets?
'I'm sad that in football there is too much emphasis on foreign players. This way it will be tougher to find new talents in our youth squads.'

The Window and GOAL.COM

Everyone wants to leave. Everyone wants to go everywhere. Every Club wants everyone. Perhaps I used up too many of E,V,R and Y's but this Goal.com is making me sick. All of the transfer rumors that they post are insane. The Web-Manager ..eerrrr.. The Editor should give it a little thought before going wild with his fantasies. Its as if u deliberately think of the wildest transfers and post them on your site to even make the club scouts wonder. Chelsea wants everyone. They want Kaka?? To play with Ballack,Lampard,Deco and Essien?? They "Desperately want Eto'o?? When they have the likes of Drogba and Sheva?? Well if u beleive them, then probably by the end of the transfer window every club will sue Chelsea. Of approaching and signing up all the stars and depriving them of quality. What is Chelsea?.. Bill gates or what??.. And then the whole saga of Arsenal vs AC Milan. They posted articles in such a lude manner that a simple approach and signing by Milan looked like they snatched Flamini out of the Gunners claws. And now they are after Hleb. A/C Goal.com He wants to Leave Arsenal for the San Siro. Inter denies having approached Hleb and then Wenger goes nuts. He wants to sue them. Well he wants to sue the whole of Italy. For: 1. Beating France to win the World Cup. 2. Saying bad things About Zizzou's Sister and Mother. 3. For signing Flamini(AC Milan). 4. For approaching Hleb. 5. Adebayor.. do we need to mention?? Now for Mr. Wenger- READ THIS AND SUE ME:)
