Silvio Berlusconi was interviewed during "Lunedi di Rigore" on Antenna 3 this evening via phone for rougly 15 minutes.

Down to scratch:

With Galliani, Braida and Ancelotti we're evaluating if it would be reasonable to reduce the squad in numbers. All the squad members should however be of great quality. It's sad to see players not even making it to the bench.

Sheva is almost a son to me. We're particularly focused on signing new players for our defense and we're evaluating the possibility of signing a physically powerful striker.

Last week against Arsenal we dearly missed Ronaldo and above all Seedorf.

The interview will probably be published on most papers and web sites tomorrow.

Is that the same as Lunedi di Rigore as he was just on there... I might have been able to pick up more of what he said if I hadn't been on the beer again :drunk:

That Chirico guy is annoying, man!

 

[shoryuken]

I managed to hear him talking about Borriello a bit, but I didn't even notice he was on until then :drunk: My italian is crap anyway!

"Crediamo in Borriello, per questo lo abbiamo ceduto solo in comproprietà al Genoa: avessimo saputo dei problemi di Ronaldo, probabilmente avremmo fatto altre scelte": Silvio Berlusconi, intervenuto telefonicamente ad Antenna3, conferma dunque la stima al centravanti napoletano, che dunque torna un serio candidato per il ritorno a Milanello a fine stagione

"Vogliamo arrivare a dei fuoriclasse, ma duttili in modo da ridurre la rosa: una squadra più compatta e ridotta ci servirà a non mandare gente in panchina e tribuna, lasciando il morale più alto per tutti. Dunque pochi ma jolly, alla Massaro": il Presidente Berlusconi, nel corso della lunga intervista telefonica ad Antenna 3, ha spiegato la nuova filosofia del mercato rossonero, atta a dare più stimoli ad una rosa di titolari allargata, senza delle vere e proprie riserve in eccedenza

Investiremo sulla difesa" ha dichiarato, confermando invece il centrocampo rossonera ad un Luciano Moggi, ospite in studio, che evidenzava un calo di rendimento della linea mediana e di Gennaro Gattuso in questa stagione

Austerity? Niente affatto: "Un tesoretto se non c'è lo si trova: non credo di aver mai deluso le aspettative dei tifosi sul mercato. Noi vogliamo un Milan protagonista in Italia, Europa e nel mondo e dunque siamo pronti a qualsiasi sacrificio finanziario" ha rassicurato Silvio Berlusconi a chi insinuava una politica di risparmio per il mercato estivo in caso di non-qualificazione ai preliminari di Champions League

"Vogliamo una prima punta potente, forte fisicamente, con delle caratteristiche ben definite" ha spiegato. Il riferimento pare molto chiaro a tutti: è l'implicita ammissione che è Didier Drogba il vero obiettivo di mercato della società rossonera. Il Presidente però, non ha voluto sbilanciarsi facendo nomi.

"Shevchenko? Per me è come un figlio, è rimasto nei nostri cuori e dunque mi andrebbe sempre bene: tuttavia ci sono altri attaccanti che vogliamo e che ci piacciono":

Oh fantastic, yes, reduce the squad number Cause we have so much depth Depending on the great quality attribute though. If great quality means no Favalli, no Digao, no Brocchi... and if a reduced number means also a younger squad with not some 38 yo bench players that are more frequently injured than being available, it might work.

And we missed Ronaldo? How can we miss someone that has hardly played any matches this season? It's like if he had said in the past that we were missing the presence of Redondo. Or Futre.

Actually he said that too in different form.

Anyway, Berlusca wants a strong and powerful striker.

We shall see

Ah, bastardo. He just wants my dual-passport vote for the next election. Damn politicians. Speriamo bene.

Vai, cavaliere, facci sognare!

Marina, vattene!

Drogba springs to mind. However, that would contradict the ever-growing Sheva talk. Either way it seems likely we could be doing business with Chelsea this summer. I wonder if Gilardino fancies learning English...

The Berlusca interview was a brief intermission to the ongoing discussions focused upon how can Inter be so lucky with refs. :smileani:

Anyways, Berluca was asked whom that striker will be and he did not give any hint but suggesting that he'll be strong/powerful.

He can learn English in Italy Though that is the main reason to join Chelscum obviously, and not 30 pieces of silver (isn't that right, Andriy?)

Borriello is strong and powerful. He won't cost £25 million and he isn't 30 tomorrow

Drogba, Ademayor, Gomez, Amauri, Corradi and Koller come to mind :smileani:

 

[Psycho]

Who let Drogba out? Who who who?

Thank god Sheva isnt a strong, big prima punta. Bonos heart is broken

"Investiremo sulla difesa"

Good. Zambrotta and who else? Ah, I hope he is for real and not just realizing that he needs some Milanista votes to win the elections, too

Berlusca praised Borriello too during the interview :smileani:

He even said he'll be rooting for Inter tomorrow :smileani:

Corradi and Koller, the twin towers... an attack I have always dreamed of.

Both NT players in the past :thumbsup:

 

[Psycho]

If I were Czech or Italian coach, they would be still internationals. Il magnifico Corradi and Jan "Valuev" Koller forming a tridente with il mago, Christian Brocchi. Mouth watering.

This "supporting Inter" talk is what I mean with 'election propaganda'. It's so irritating. So I fear the current talk about spending might be just that kind of propaganda too, after I guess a lot of Milanisti got pissed off with the idea of seeing Milan being just 2nd category in the mercato in the near future.
