Ladies and gents, allow me to introduce you to Edgardo Obregon, aka Gato. Gato is just nine years
old, but he's likely already outgrown more tricks that most fully grown professional footballers
will ever remember. Details are a little hard to come by (which is probably how it should be with
regards to talented nine year [.
So, the transfer deadline (August 31) has passed and the football market is now closed. Closed? Not
quite. Indeed, while transfers from one club to another will have to wait until January to resume,
teams may still sign players as free agents (and that until March 31, 2009). So, inspired from this
Top 11 Serie A [.
Ruud Gullit has kept his silence for the most part since leaving his post as head coach of the Los
Angeles Galaxy on August 11th, but is now speaking out about David Beckham and Major League Soccer
among other things. The former AC Milan and Oranje star took over the reins of the "Jewel of
MLS" in the most recent offseason, but left L.
Siempre intento escribir sobre promesas del fútbol. Y en ésta ocasión no
escribiré sobre un niño Italiano, Español o Argentino.... si no de un niño
"mexicano". En Italia, el Milan está interesado en éste niño de 9
años de Guadalajara, su nombre es Edgardo Obregón y especialistas dicen que podría
llegar a ser un "Messi".
Many stories doing the rounds indicate that Arsenal have wrapped up the signature of Sporting
Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso for £15M. Veloso has been on many clubs radar including
Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton and AC Milan. Veloso is 22 years old and is a dynamic central
midfielder who can replicate the energy and creativity that has [.
Obviously the true bargains won't be known for some time, but there were a few transfers which
caught the eye before the participants had even put on their new shirt. Eliminating loans made sure
somebody has actually bought up the entire contract this summer, and everyone of these guys
happened to come in at under [.
One of Silvio Berlusconi's players at AC Milan has declared he is a fascist. Christian Abbiati, 31,
an Italian international, said: "I am not ashamed to proclaim my political beliefs. I share
[the] ideals of fascism, such as the fatherland and the values of the Catholic religion."
Oh dear.
The rankings are back after a one week delay, due to an executive member of the ranking committee
being on holiday. With the national teams taking center stage this weekend it allowed us some time
to catch up. While the top quarter of the table didn't change much, there was ample movement in the
middle third.
Party all the time.
Party all the tiiiiiime. And I guess Milan is starting to notice, and not like it.
Like the Fifa Wii picture?
At half-time in the 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul, Jamie Carragher found himself staring
into the abyss.
AC Milan had just produced a spell-binding 45 minutes of football to leave Liverpool trailing by
three goals to nil.
All hopes of winning a fifth European Cup had seemingly been extinguished as Carragher and his
team-mates walked into the dressing room for Rafa Benitez's half-time team talk.
According to Agencia Estado, Ronaldinho is in trouble with Milan following reports that he was out
partying deep into the early hours of the morning in Brazil last week.
There he is!
A stunning television investigative report has uncovered some hidden truths about Ronaldinho's
downfall at Barcelona, which subsequently led to his departure to AC Milan.
"In Barcelona, there are a lot of bad influences that can harm a player and perhaps he did not
have the will to stay away from them.
Barcelona star Yaya Toure has confirmed speculation that Arsenal were looking to sign him this
summer. The Gunners had been heavily linked with the Ivory Coast international after losing Mathieu
Flamini to AC Milan, but he told both manager Arsene Wenger and his brother Kolo that he was happy
at the Nou Camp.
If your beloved club was to be bought out by an bajillionaire, would it be better to spend insane
transfer fees on a number of players or bring in a coaching staff that could make the West Ham
reserves play like Milan's Dream Team of the late 80's and early 90's. So why not build [...]
There was a time when Celtic played Real Madrid, Juventus or even Notts Forest back in the old
European Cup. I know I was at all the home games. Two games home and away and winners go through.
Tense, exciting stuff.
Now like others we play Manchester United, Barcelona and co every year, in a Group stage, devised
so the top teams can get through every year and get more money to buy more players to do it all
again the next year.
Jamie Carragher has revealed how Rafa Benitez wanted the aggressive defender to be his enforcer
both on and off the pitch.
Shortly after taking over at Liverpool, Benitez handed the centre-half a DVDs of Arrigo Sacchi's
legendary AC Milan side of the 1980s and asked him to analyse Franco Baresi's movements and
organisation of the defence.
We still have two weeks to go until last season's results are erased from the
databases for English clubs (three weeks for some others), yet Manchester United has already
managed to lose the advantage that it carried into this season.
Juventus wing star Sebastian Giovinco's agent has denied speculation the 'Old Lady's' midfielder
has held talks with Premier League club Arsenal. Reports in the English media, as well as Arsenal
blogs, claim the 21-year-old has been in touch with the Gunners over a possible move to London.
Contrary to those reports, Giovinco's representative, Andrea D'Amico, insists there [.
You know what one of the best things about the upcoming FIFA 09 is? You can do 'the robot' after
you score if you so choose. All I can say is thank f*ck they've got some old guys on the
development team, otherwise we'd see Jozy doing some Souja Boy "Crank Dat" sh*t. And no
one wants that.

Getty Images/Picapp.com 19 year old Alexandre Pato scored in the 49th in their last weekend's match
against Lazio. It was AC Milan's first win of the season after three games. Pato has now a total of
10 goals in 21 matches for AC Milan. A decent stats for a budding striker. This wonder kid will go
places.
AC Milan v/s Inter Milan.Mourinho's unbeaten run as Inter Milan manager came to an end when Kaka
beat the offside trap on the right to pick up a long pass from Ronaldinho. He jogged it down to the
right of the penalty area and then scooped it perfectly back to Ronaldinho to head home from 10
metres out.
That is an overstatement obviously, but Italian football does seem to be hotbed of naive
footballers with some extreme political views. I am not closely enough involved in Italian football
to be able to prescribe a solution, but I can certainly detect a problem. AC Milan keeper Christian
Abbiati is the latest player to declare himself [.
Notable arrivals: Deco (Barcelona), Jose Bosingwa (FC Porto) Notable departures: Andrei Shevchenko
(AC Milan), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Claudio Pizarro (Werder Bremen, loan), Tal
Ben-Haim (Manchester City), Khalid Boulahrouz (VfB Stuttgart), Claude Makelele (PSG), Steve Sidwell
(Aston Villa), Ben Sahar.
Raul has scored 61 goals in the Champions League - his closest rival being his teammate Ruud van
Nistelrooy at 53. Can any of the younger crop of players - Messi, Ronaldo, Benzema, Torres etc -
catch up with the likes of Raul, Ruud, Sheva (47) and Henry (45) or is the age of the pure [...]
Apparently Ronaldinho likes short shorts. This photo was taken during Milan's 3-1 UEFA Cup win over
FC Zurich yesterday. Good win for Milan (finally) but not a happy day for 'Dinho. He started on the
bench and didn't come on until the 75th minute with Milan 3-0 up. Zurich scored three minutes
later. (AP Photo/Alberto Pellaschiar)
Can Roma and AC Milan turn things around this week? I think Roma will and must as
Mourinho and Inter already have that 3 point lead which cost Roma the title last season. AC
Milan are having injury trouble already so Clarence Seedorf will have to fill the absence of Andrea
Pirlo in the midfield and [.

but recovering AC Milan that late Sunday closes the Serie A weekend. Inter, on 10 points after four
games, celebrated their 100th unbeaten [.
Well Jose Mourinho finally got his man with the signing of Ricardo Quaresma from Porto. This is a
great move for Inter Milan as they needed some younger players to add to their aging squad, and it
also give Mourinho a chance to put his own stamp on the squad. I was beginning to wonder when Inter
were going to make a really big move.
Remember our old Ronaldo to CD Chivas USA rumor?
There was truth in it...

One of the Italians to move abroad this summer was World Cup winning fullback (and team barber)
Massimo Oddo. The 32 year old right back had a nightmare season last year. He wasn't himself at
all, he played poorly, all his crosses ended up in Row Z, and he found himself left out of the
national team set-up, missing Euro 2008.
Le Boss speaks several languages in fluent tongue but if reports in Italy are to go by then he
better get Italian added to his forte!
Apparently AC Milan are lining up Arsene Wenger as a potential replacement for boss Carlo Ancelotti
after yet another poor start to the Serie A season for the Rossoneri.

Ronaldinho in in his element as he manoeuvres the ball against rival team Bologna. AC Milan and
Bologna just kicked off their first game for the Series A title win - August 31, 2008 at the San
Siro-Meazza stadium in Milan, Italy. "Milan begin this new season with high hopes, despite not
taking part in the [.
While Jose is back in Milan cuddling with Ricardo Quaresma, we were treated to a one on one between
The Boy and Fabio Capello. There were some insightful revelations, like the fact that Fabio loves
chip butties and Cash In The Attic (who doesn't?), but Wayne failed to deliver the hard hitting
question everyone wants [.
Apparently, says his agent, AC Milan star man Kaká might be willing to become one of Man
City's prize catches next summer if they can earn a Champions League entry with a top-four finish
this term. Sure, Cesc Fabregas laughed off the thought of succumbing to new Citeh owner Sulaiman
Al-Fahim's vast riches, but a successful move for Kaká could bring legitimacy to dreams of a
star-stocked Blue

AC Milan have sensationally lined up Arsene Wenger as their new boss, according to reports from
Italy. National daily Il Giorno is suggesting that Carlo Ancelotti's reign at the San Siro could be
up after the team endured yet another poor start to the season. And the Milan-based newspaper
claims that the Serie A club have been [.
Nike's "Take It To The Next Level" is back this time with Andrea
Pirlo. When is a wall not a wall? When it's made up of more people than would normally take

goals. Bookmark to:
