Santos in Robinho talks with Milan

Reports has surfaced that Santos are ready to open negotiations with Milan for Robinho. Santos has tried to sign Robinho few times but failed that many times.

The 28-year old has had two previous spells with the Sao Paulo outfit in his career, and the 2011 Copa Libertadores winners are keen to bring the former Manchester City man back to his homeland.
The club's vice-president Odilio Santo Rodrigues told Lancenet he has spoken with Robinho about a possible move at the end of the season, though he is wary of the Italian side asking for a large transfer fee.

"It’s true, we are interested in Robinho. We have already spoken with the player, there is a wish to do something during the transfer window at the end of the year, but nobody knows how much Milan will ask for him. Robinho called us a few days ago and we are often in contact, but he is a professional and has a contract in Italy. Let's see what happens at the end of the year."

The Brazilian joined the Rossoneri over the summer of 2010 but has struggled for consistent goalscoring form in his two seasons for the seven-time European Cup winners.
His current deal runs until the end of the 2013/14 season, but with Massimiliano Allegri's side struggling after two early defeats in Serie A, he could be forced to look elsewhere if he is to win more silverware.

Berlusconi is disappointed in the way Milan has started the season, and will soon put Milan on sale, according to newspaper La Stampa. Milan president was widely angry after Milan drew with Anderlecht in the Champions League.
According to the same newspaper, Berlusconi wanted to sack Allegri right after Anderlecht match, but Galliani stepped in and decided to give Allegri one last chance to save his job. Let's not forget Milan has played three games in San Siro scored zero goals and has a stats of two defeats and one draw.
This situation has annoyed Berlusconi who is reported to have said to closer friends:
"If someone is willing to buy Milan, I will sell the club immediately. I feel ashamed the way Milan started this season"
Berlusconi is Milan president for 26 years now, and has won everything. Few seasons ago it was reported that there are some sheiks interested in buying Milan but then Berlusconi rejected any offer to sell Milan.

With a disastrous campaign so far this season, AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri’s future could be decided by the game against Udinese on Sunday.

In four games so far, the Rossoneri have only recorded one win, which came against Bologna in week two, while the other games which were played at San Siro ended in two defeats against Sampdoria and Atalanta respectively, and the Champions League draw against Anderlecht.

Even worse, Milan failed to score in those three games held at the San Siro.
Reports suggest that Diavolo president Silvio Berlusconi has thought of axing the former Cagliari tactician while his right hand Adriano Galliani wants to give Allegri another chance against Udinese.
Should Milan dismiss Allegri, Mauro Tassotti who was part of the coaching staff during Carlo Ancelotti’s era might get the chance until the end of the season.

Benitez agent dismisses Milan link

Yesterday it was rumored that Rafa Benitez is ready to overtake from Allegri Milan's position as head coach.
Benitez has been unemployed since leaving Milan's city rival, Inter. Speculations begin to fire up recently because Milan has the worst Seria A start for 82 years.
This situation made Galliani to publicly back Allegri by saying that Allegri's spot is secure for now in San Siro.
Rafa Benitez agent on the other side was fast to deny all the rumours that link Bentiz with Milan

"It is not true that Benitez has put himself forward to AC Milan," said the Spaniard's agent Manuel Garcia Quillon. But if the Rossoneri should call, he would evaluate the proposal and listen carefully.
If Milan called we'll speak about it because we are ready to listen to everything - and not only from Italy."

This is not Milan !!! Milan 0-0 Anderlecht

For the fourth consecutive match Milan's players has done nothing but to disgrace the shirt they are wearing. Lethargic, non-creative, lack of imagination, a lots of lost balls, sometimes even seemed like Anderlecht was the home team. In a very competitive squad usually players like Bonera, Flamini, Emanuelson, Antonini, Mexes, Pazzini they either play for reserve squad or they are nothing but a couple a bench warmers. Allegri in my opinion is not the one should be blamed, administration with the lack of quality transfer activity is the main reason why Milan is performing this way.
As far as goes for the players, their quality is that, and they can't do more than what they're capable of. ASAP should be bought at least four world class players if Milan was about to return in the glory road. A world class Defender (Bonera ASAP OUT), a world Class MIDFIELDER (Milan has a MIDFIELD players? I mean....REALLY?), world class PLAYMAKER (Milan lacks play-maker the same way human being lack O2) and a world class ATTACKER (enough wasted AKA Pazzini, Bojan Krkic players).
I am afraid we haven't seen the worse yet, Milan also lack depth. Few injuries of "key players" (Milan has key players, again....Really?) and Milan will be fighting a spot to remain a Seria A team.
No more lame excuses, it's time Berlusconi either to sell the team to some investor who is willing to spend BIG, either he himself to spend BIG.
This is not Milan we use to watch, this is LAME.
