Andriy Shevchenko

"I believe Milan must make a point of reinforcing its defensive line and also find a great forward, who is physically strong," said Berlusconi.

Sounds like he's going after Drogba to me.

Milan's supporters staged a protest last night criticising the club's transfer policy and the possible return of Andriy Shevchenko.


The Ultra group Old Clan handed out leaflets to the crowd in and around the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza for Saturday's 3-1 victory over Cagliari.


It contained a list of seven complaints to the club after general manager Adriano Galliani pointed out the fans should not criticise Milan considering the last 20 years of silverware.


"The President is absent and no longer has the motivation or the desire to invest that he did before," was among the leaflet's statements.


"The only smart signing of the past three years has been Alexandre Pato. Enough of players on the downward slope of their careers and continual fitness problems.


"Ariedo Braida spent two weeks in South America scouting for talent and returned with the disappointing Leandro Grimi.


"The many season ticket holders have been taken for a ride by broken promises, a squad that is not up to the standard of Milan with great stars who instead joined the opposition."


The most forceful point was made against the possible return from Chelsea of former crowd favourite Shevchenko.


"We absolutely rule out Shevchenko, who is 32 and would fill the only non-EU slot, preventing Milan from signing a younger and better player."


In Italy clubs can only sign one non-EU player from a foreign League per season.

He's not had a bad year this season either - 12 starts in all competitions and only 9 sub appearances has lead to 7 goals.

MILAN PLAN RONALDINHO TALKS

Posted 09/04/08 17:14EmailPrintSave

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani hopes to open talks with Barcelona "in the next few weeks" with a view to signing Brazil forward Ronaldinho.

The 28-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to the Rossoneri since his brother and agent, Roberto de Assis, was seen meeting with Galliani in Italy last week.

Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has also admitted his desire to bring Ronaldinho to the San Siro next year.

On Wednesday, Galliani told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport: "We'll speak to Barcelona in the next few weeks."

Ronaldinho is expected to leave Barca this summer following a turbulent season in which he has started only 13 of a possible 31 games.

He is currently sidelined with a thigh injury which will rule him out for the next six weeks.

Berlusconi wants to pair Ronaldinho with former Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko, who has failed to make an impact at Chelsea after joining the London club in 2006.

"I want to bring him (Shevchenko) back to Milan and it is very likely I'll achieve it," he said.

"It would be great for us if he came back."

[SuperSheva7 0]

I think Sheva will end up going back to Milan, sad as it is. The fans wont be happy though.

[manpe 10,861]

He can't join them if Ronaldinho joins them. Some non-EU player quota

Turkey trot: Fenerbahce want £7m Shevchenko

Andriy Shevchenko is a target for Turkish side Fenerbahce.

The club have made a habit of making big-name veteran signings, after luring defender Roberto Carlos from Real Madrid.

And they are now ready to pay £7million for the Chelsea striker and are willing to meet his wage demands.

He became the club's record signing for £30.9m two years ago and is being paid about £130,000 a week.
