    And Liverpool have to come after him yet, oh that has already happened, just like they were in for Ramirez. ;)

    Not too worried. First, their financial situation is such that they aren't likely to be offering the sort of massive wages that might turn his head, and second, they probably don't have the ten wheelbarrows full of Krugerrands that Cortese would expect in any deal.

    Oh, we need to have Astori lingering in a hotel over here for a few days holding us in a will he won't he torment!

    Tancredi has said that there is no buy-back clause, merely a 'moral' agreement between Cagliari and Milan. I still think he'll end up here.

    Not necessarily made up, I would be surprised if he wasn't a target for them. He's a great young talent at a relatively small club.

    Good. Let them save up that Astori money for a summer Ramirez transfer. I could easily see Ramirez leaving, but it wouldn't be for AC Milan.

    Napoli will be a bigger rival than Milan if they spend the proposed Cavani money

    Well if Cavani goes for the kind of figures being bandied about, then they could buy a new striker and three Astori's.

    And unlike Milan, they aren't up to their eyeballs in debt, so money taken in can be reallocated. With Cannavaro suspended for six months and Napoli in the hunt for the CL, central defender is a position of need.

    Another day, no Dave. Amazing that a few days ago I didn't know he existed, now I can't live without him.

    I don't think it is spot on ... yes we need the recruits but as I said further up, "NOW" isn't the necessity. After Villa, we have Utd, Chelski and Everton. To me, it is key they are in anywhen up to deadline day so that we have them ready for Wigan away.

    I agree that earlier is better, but "NOW" is a little dramatic... IMO

    We do need defensive back up soon though FLT. Another injury to a CB and we are in big trouble!

    That is a very big under statement.
