WTF? Jankulovski completes Milan transfer?

Seaneh

MILAN, May 31 (Reuters) -MILAN, May 31 (Reuters) - AC Milan have completed the signing of Czech international Marek Jankulovski from Udinese.

Milan said in a statement that Jankulovski had signed a four-year contract with the beaten Champions League finalists.

Jankulovski, who can operate at left back or in midfield, is Milan's second new arrival after they brought in Swiss midfielder Johann Vogel from PSV Eindhoven last week.

Jankulovski, 28, enjoyed three seasons with Udinese after making his name in Italy with Napoli whom he joined from his hometown club Banik Ostrava..

How the fook did I miss that?
Good signing!
Atlast Carlo buys a winger!

PHB

This guy is a ****ing quality player, and he is another world class player gotten on a free, Vieiri aswell!

If they sign Gildarino, they are going to be up there at the top again.
Have they even spent any money this year yet?

I've only ever seen Jankulovski play left back as he plays there for the Czechs. I only found out recently he can play left wing too but I would have thought from seeing him play that he's much more suited to left back.

Could you imagine Milan next year if they got Giladrino as well

I hadn't heard anything about Gilardino before, but just checked him out and I felt the same way as the original poster: How the hell did I miss this guy?

46 goals in 72 games in the last 2 seasons in Serie A and he's only 23? Plus Parma were almost relegated last season. Sounds like a class player alright.

He more or less signed a pre-contract last January I thought. In any case he's been a sure-bet signing for Milan for ages. What's strange is that they gave Kaladze a new 4-5 year contract a couple of weeks ago.

I'll never get tired of reading stuff like that

milan buy players with an intelligence rarely seen at any other club

wenger is the only real comparison

they seem to have the perfect balance of buying big, picking up frees and smallers fees for solid players...

Top quality player , very underated but then players like him and Zambrotta always are .

That's so true. They rarely make a bad buy //waits for scores of players to be listed// They are a always thereabouts in ECL as well as Serie A.

Class team next year by the looks of things.

Papin, Baggio, Lentini... Nah, in general that's very true with the added bonus that they seem to be able to offload any player that doesn't work out (usually to Inter, at a profit), quickly.

Remeber Crespo is gone and Milan do play 4-4-2 quite a bit so he would be a great replacement . The attcking ability Milan have is frightening .

Kaka is a midfeilder, he plays behind the front two, Carlo said himself he doesnt like playing him as a support striker.
So next season with Inzaghi, Vieri, Shevchenko and Gilardino(hopefully) at the club and a midfeild of Jankulovski, Pirlo, Rino and Kaka playing behind them kon we have a major chance of winning somehting, also there are rumbles of Seedorf going to spain in a deal worth 7 figures... *hopes and prays* so maybe there will be a few more signings, a young right back and we are sorted.

They can still only play with 11 players at the time anyway. And they should seriously start thinking about buying defenders, as Maldini, Cafu and Stam are very old and Nesta is turning 30 next year.

Juve is a much more complete team in my opinion, but again Juve is my team

JD Tomasson just left for Stuttgart so there may be a Gilardino-sized hole to fill.

Good, he's always been the weak link in the midfield imo.

Cafu and Stam still have a couple of years in them at the highest level, up until the semi-final/final of the CL, Milan had by far the best defense.

pickarooney

7 figures is anything from 1 to 9.9 million, and Seedorf is still quite young. Even if you're not a big fan of is, statistically if you buy him your Champions League chances shoot up

Well it's finally official: Gilardino is a Milan player. Vieri can go put his tracksuit back on.

there was talk of Oddo coming to Milan a month or two back, but that hasn't been realised yet anyway
Cafu wanted Milan to look at Cecinho, his fill in for the Confederations cup...
