A.C. MILAN OFFICIAL NOTE
8/28/2010

MILAN – A.C. MILAN announces the acquisition of the player Zlatan Ibrahimovic from F.C. Barcelona, through a free loan with the option to purchase the athlete’s playing rights for € 24 million at the end of the season 2010-2011. The Swedish champion will go through the medical exams tomorrow morning, before signing the contract that will tie him to the Rossonero club for four years.

Mr. Presentable

Hats off to Galliani for negotiating that one.

Raskolnikov

That's a great deal for Milan, if he sucks, they can just ship him back at minimal cost, if he's good, they can get him at a (relative) bargain price.

Barcelona are going to go bankrupt if they do any more deals like that.

Unbelieveable bit of business. Awful business for the second summer in a row by Barca.:eek:

Jaysus, i thought Bogdani had scored there!! :eek:

I think i'm getting a soft spot for Cesena already. I really like the way they've approcahed this match. No parking of the bus here at all. They've been well organised and have been positive as well.

Peyton Manning

Totti is such a bastard. I love him

Raskolnikov

Roma were terrible, played like they were after a night on the beer.

He really is a moaning git!!

Raskolnikov

Are Roma the biggest sore losers you've ever watched?

monkey9

Finished nil all. Fully deserved point for Cesena. A great start to their season. To go away to Roma in your first game and put in a solid performance like that is just brilliant!!

Peyton Manning

Huge result for Cesena, but that really was awful from Roma. Terrible start to the season

Ive never seen somebody kick the ball against somebody to get them booked for not retreating then immediately doing the same thing to the same player after the ref booked him :pac:

Totti The Innovator :cool:

Same here.

I thought Luca Ceccarelli and Nagatomo were particularly good.

As a Juve fan I ain't happy either.

Del Piero goal from last night. It's like going back to 1997!

That goal is the exception rather than the rule these days. If you offered me Del Piero as a swap for Quagliarella I would never entertain such a deal. Quag may not match up to Del Piero in his prime but Juve are lucky to get him. Gutted for Napoli. Don't know why they sanctioned this

Merci, David!

Raskolnikov

Juventus really are terrible to watch I fancy Bari to nick a goal, been the better team.

Melion

Great goal by Donati. 1-0 Bari

Raskolnikov

Good thing Juve aren't in the Champions League this year, because they would get destroyed playing this kind of rubbish.

Fair play to Bari though, solid team, but they've got great support and really battle.

Peyton Manning

Terrible from Juve. Uninspiring start to the season.

Pinturicchio

More of the same crap from Juve this season. Still relying on Del Piero even though he turns 36 in a few weeks.

He was shockingly slow today.

Anyway, Milan/Leece starting now. Just about a full strength team for Milan, bar Ibra.

Raskolnikov

Who's doing the commentary on Setanta? His English is brutal. The sound is also terrible and out of balance.

Raskolnikov

Great start Milan, Leece getting torn apart already.

Paco Rodriguez

Come on Milan!!! The three Brazilians are looking sharp.

Raskolnikov

1-0

too easy for milan.

Paco Rodriguez

GOOOOOOOOOOOOll PATO! PATO! PATO!

Great strike, set up by Ambrosini!

Peyton Manning

Bojinov off the mark already for Parma. He'll be a fantastic signing if he stays fit.

Peyton Manning

Cavani also off the mark for Napoli, they lead Fiorentina 1-0.

Raskolnikov

We could see a cricket score here.

2-0 Silva.

Paco Rodriguez

Thiago Silva 2-0

scraped in..

flahavaj

Brilliant strike for the first from pato. Ronaldinho looks lively, he hasn't given the ball away once, showing good strength and some unbelieveable footwork.

These commentators on Setanta are so bad they're kinda good.

Raskolnikov

Incredible.

3-0.

flahavaj

Beautiful second from Pato, Ronaldinho brilliant again. They will have quite the attack with Ibra up there as well.

Lecce are awful.

Paco Rodriguez

3-0!!!!!
Pato again!!


Set up by Ronaldinho who is his brilliant best tonight!!

Raskolnikov

When the likes of Ronaldinho and Pato are playing so well, poor old Borriello really looks like a donkey. Once Ibra is in, I seriously think they can make a decent challenge at the Champions League.

Raskolnikov

Ronaldinho just showboating after 30 minutes.

Raskolnikov

Could easily be 6 or 7 to nil here. Leece getting battered.

Got nutmegged himself, won't have liked that.
He's been reasonably good tonight, even if Lecce have been useless.

Raskolnikov

How many chances do you need Pato?

Did you just see what he did there :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Its a great situation when you can complain a player hasnt got a hattrick in the first half!! Long may it continue +D

Raskolnikov

I know it's only Leece, but that's the best half of football I have seen Ronaldinho play in a Milan shirt. Pato also looks sharp which is great to see because he's been crocked for so long.

Peyton Manning

Parma now 2-0 up over Lecce. Morrone with the goal.

monkey9

One nil to Napoli at half time in Florence. Probably worth their lead, but it was a fortunate goal.

They've been getting a lot of joy down the left hand side where Dossena has been really positive in getting forward. It was his cross that led to the goal as Cavani latched on to it to head in on his debut.

The ball hit the underside if the crossbar, but replays show that the ball didn't cross the line.

monkey9

Bologna have sacked their coach, Franco Colomba.

They got an inside out 'Lampard' then

Really? Must have been a bust up since its so early in the season?

D'Agostino equalises for Fiorentina. Another debut goal.

Paco Rodriguez

here comes Pipo! lets see has he still got it

monkey9

Vargas sent off for Fiorentina. Headbutt!!
