He is really good, he is certainly in the top 3 cb's in the game right now, arguably the best.

A performance for the ages vs Arsenal last season :P

Wow. Sportmediaset reporting Thiago Silva to #PSG is a done deal. €50m fee, €9m/year salary. #acmilan

Baldini is a very good jounro, no idea how reliable Sportmediaset is however.

If they do sell Thiago Silva then it is a big mistake by Milan, yes it is a lot of money but they will not get another player of his quality for that money. The only thing I can think is that Milan are thinking of the FFP rules and see this as a way of reducing the losses, but looking at the likes of Chelsea and PSG they don't seem to be worried about FFP so why should other teams. I also think they would be better off selling Ibra if they have to sell someone because at least they have Pato to replace him. It's not good for the league to have it's best players leaving either.

Samich

Where did Silva come from? Was he always promising? Only first heard of him this season tbh. Or did he just become good out of the blue?

LOL at someone having PSG stuck in the career performance table :pac:

Nuri Sahin

Fluminense is where I first heard/seen the odd match of him in the Copa Libatadores. He looked a real player back then and was linked with Real at one point before Milan swooped him and signed him. Flum had a very good defensive record in that season where they finished runners up in the Copa Libatodores.

Since 2009 with Milan he has progressively improved every season, and put in many a MOTM performance for them as well as for the national Brazil team.

His claim as the best defender in the world isn't without any substance that's clear. Himself, Kompany and Hummels are far an away for me anyway, the best 3 CB's in the world.

Thing about selling Ibra though is you couldn't rely on Pato to go to the shop for a pint of milk. He'd probably end up in a nightclub and pull an unknown muscle.

Such a waste of talent

Samich

He's 28 this year I see, might aswell go and get a hape of money for himself in the few years he has left at the top. I doubt it was Milans choice I'm thinking?

Seaneh

If he does join PSG I'd say the main reason would be his relationship with Leonardo and Carlo Ancelotti, with money being secondary, its not on small money as it is!

I reckon he's going to come good this season, I think he has sorted what was causing the problems and I think he'll be unstoppable if he stays fit. He's still only 22 as well, so calling him a waste of talent is a bit harsh, he has plenty of time to come good.

How Silva has gone from great Brasileiro CB at Fluminense to one of the best in the world in under 4 years still amazes me. Milan have amazing coaches or Silva upped it considerably when he moved to Europe. I probably would have laughed if someone said he'd be the best in the world.

I'd say having Maldini and Nesta to train/work with for the first 6 months would have been a massive benefit to him (He joined Milan in December 2008 but couldn't be registered until July 2009 because Milan didn't have a foreign player slot free at the time).

Unless it's a three-way love affair I can't fathom how this kind of thing would even enter into the equation when compared to the footballing and monetary implications.

Himself and Leonardo have been friends since before he joined Porto as a teenager and Ancelotti was his first manager at Milan. He has stated before that Ancelotti was the bets coach eh ever had.

It's irrelevant anyway.

Milan director general Ariedo Braida has cooled suggestions that the club are about to sell Thiago Silva to Paris Saint-Germain.

Form here.

Milan just wiped over 500k off their weekly wage bill (Zambrotta, van Bommel, Seedorf, Gattuso, Nesta, Inzaghi, Flamini) they are also owned by one of the richest men in the world, finances aren't an issue.

But if PSG make a stupid offer, Berlusconi will accept it.

We will probably sign either Astori or Salvatore Bocchetti anyway/

Who has Flamini signed for lads,he was top class when he was with the Arsenal.

He should have stayed at arsenal. What a midfield they would have had. Fabregas and Flamini.

Huth has signed a 3 year contract extension with Stoke.

flyswatter

Can hardly blame Milan for letting most of those players go, yes all good players but all old and past their best except Flamini.

Time to start again with a new generation of fresh talent I think.

Seaneh

Flamini hasnt left yet but he is ok 130k a week and milan have offered a new two year contract at about 45k a week but he hasnt signed yet. hes been injured most of the last 2 years. he wont get an offer that good anywhere else.

Re: Dede to Milan..

Dedé's agent: "At the moment there are no direct talks with the Milan board."

Dedé's agent: "There has been a lot of talk in the newspapers, but no offer has been made for Dedé yet."

Dedé's agent: "Perhaps Milan are waiting to sell Thiago Silva first before they make a move."

Dedé's agent: "We have had contacts with English clubs, but not with Milan or Barça."

Not quite Sky Sauces but

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has told ESPN he has not resigned from his job at White Hart Lane after rumours suggested he had quit on Tuesday.

Speculation in the media over the weekend reiterating the crisis point over his contract talks with chairman Daniel Levy led to more suggestions on Twitter that he was ready to walk out on his club, but the Spurs boss was bullish when asked about the rumours.

Redknapp told ESPN: "No, I haven't resigned, and I have no idea why it is being suggested that I have resigned.

"This is an outrage; an absolute liberty for people to be putting around this kind of rumour on the internet. It is not true, there is not a chance I will resign. Why should I? I have a year left on my contract."

However it is now common knowledge, as ESPN has already revealed, that talks on Redknapp's part, with new agents hired for the specific task of negotiating an improved deal, have stalled with no offer from Spurs beyond his current contract.

That contract has just one more season to run and Redknapp has been suggesting that he should be given a new three-year deal to provide stability and continuity within the club at a crucial time, as they try to recruit new players and keep stars such as Luka Modric, Rafael van der Vaart and Gareth Bale.

TL;DR version: Fack ahff

Hearing reports that PSG making a double swoop for T Silva *and* Ibra for circa 80 million. This would be the saddest moment as a Milan fan since Istanbul. Depressing thing is, club isn't particularly in the position to turn offers down at the right price.

I'd take it tbh. cannot invest in the squad at all. Ibra isnt the solution to winning CL again. Thiago silva for 48 million cannot be turned down. Cannot see the squad progressing at all without a makor change

Rekop dog

Silvio confirmed Silva will be leaving. Tbh think we could get more for him considering demand.

If Ibra goes for mooted fee he'll have nearly amounted €200million in accumulated transfers during his career. Astonishing really.

Seaneh

I've seen no comment from Berlusconi anywhere, only actual quote I've seen was Ariedo Braida saying that he won't be leaving and that was this morning.

Sites were saying Galliani was in Paris This morning/afternoon despite the fact he was at Milan's offices in Via Turati.

I'd take everything being reported with a massive grain of salt until someone from Milan says anything officially.

PSG said two days ago they have no interest in Ibra and now apparently they are making a "double swoop" it's just hacks trying to fill space.

If you are Ibra, you are loving this. You've already been at Ajax, Juve, Inter, Barca and AC, and now at 30 years of age, you get to spend a few years on crazy money playing in Paris, filling your boots with goals against crap French defences??

Looks like Thiago Silvas move to Psg is done €46 million apparently . Mad money for a centre half .
