The Exes - mourn them, admire them, laugh at them

Cassano pretty much scores and/or assists every game he plays for Inter, even coming from the bench. Just like he was doing for us. Crucial goal against Fiorentina today.

Swapping Cassano + money for Pazzini has to be the most ridiculous piece of business I've ever seen Milan do.

we can no longer be proud of acquiring seedorf and pirlo for peanuts. this cassano transaction tainted that achievement.

and oh crap, just realized I still have the cassano avatar.

Are you crazy! Nothing can top Seedorf-Cocco swap, nothing!! Yes, Cassano's deal hurts, but come on!!!

Are you sure? From this link: http://www.goal.com/en/news/2377/top-10/2009/07/28/1408652/top-10-crazy-inter-swap-deals

- Andrea Pirlo to Milan from Inter for €2.8m + Andres Guglielminpietro (2001)

- Fabian Carini to Inter from Juventus in a straight swap for Fabio Cannavaro (2004)

That's not correct, though, van. Pirlo was bought from Inter for €18 million while Guly was swapped for Brocchi.

Cassano sold by his request, Pirlo and Guly swap was Brilliant

See the previous post. Pirlo was NOT swapped for Guly, don't know what the people at goal.com have been smoking. We actually paid a large amount to get Pirlo.

You made post while i'm still typing

I just wanna having fun with our cugini :smileani:

Johan · Oct 1, 2012

We paid €10m for Pirlo. At least that was the sum reported on acmilan.com at the time.

Laudrup · Oct 1, 2012

From Inter's official site:

http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?L=it&N=3284

35 miliardi di lire ~ €18 million

Johan · Oct 1, 2012

I guess they wanted it to sound higher

Here's btw. the "Pirlo to Milan" thread of this forum 11 years ago

See no other figures mentioned, and the OP has the official Milan announcement copied.

If I had not been to lazy I would have checked the MM forums in which I posted at the time. If I did post about it. acmilan link was dead of course.

Not that it matter much.

Thanks for the correction.

Cannavaro X Carini still beats Seedorf X Coco, though, IMO.

If we make the assumption that Coco and Carini were more or less equally useless to Inter, the question would be: who of Seedorf and Cannavaro was more important to Milan and Juve respectively. Well, Canna had two great seasons with Juve before Calciopoli made him leave, Seedorf was a key player at Milan for a decade and vital or at the very least important to every big triumph he won there. Canna was more than 30 when he came to Juve, Seedorf 26 in 2002.

In retrospect, I would say SeedorfXCoco beats CannaXCarini. If, on the other hand, the question is which deal made more sense at the time, I would agree with you. Coco, after all, was considered to be a good player for the future, Seedorf was something of a gamble, while Carini was a nobody.

The second post in that thread:

Basically what it sayd is that the deal is in the region of 35 milliardi lire (~17 mill $).
Tells some history about this guy (he started in Brescia 98/99 went to Inter). And that his contract is until the 30th of July 2005.

That's the same number I had mentioned (35 miliardi lire). The guy just "translates" the Italian Inter announcement (but gets it wrong with the 17 mill $ part)

Go get some sleep!

Yashimi Nakitu · Oct 1, 2012

:howler:

I ignored the lira and just paid attention to the $ and €

I always thought we bough Pirlo for around € 10 m

Taiwo assisted Dynamo Kiev's 2nd goal against Zagreb.

Looks like Genoa arent using Merkel very often ... We should get him back, and bc he isnt playing we can get him for cheap or on a swap with some of Mesbah, Traore or even Emanuelson.
