bigbluepride35 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) AC Milan have signed striker Alberto Gilardino from Parma on a five-year deal.Source WOOHOO!!! I know most people here follow the EPL more but this is huge news for me. :D Favorite player finally signs with favorite team. What an attacking corps we now have. Should be a fun upcoming season. :D edit> I meant to put the [soccer] tag in but somehow only got the opening bracket. If a mod could edit the title I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Andy07 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Yea, i have watched him play on Eurosport... hes gonna be a very big player for Milan. They had to do something after Crespo went back to stinky Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbluepride35 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I know. Twenty-three goals this year in Serie A when everyone already KNEW what he was capable of, and with a less than stellar club. The possibilities with Milan seem boundless :yes: :D . And yes Chelsea was interested remotely but he expressed a strong desire to sign with no one but Milan if he were to trasnfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardly Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 It's not like AC needed any more awesome players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluepride35 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Another Article Actually they did need another forward with the departure of both Crespo and Dahl Tomasson. Both Inzaghi and Vieri have had some injury issues the past few years. He and Sheva on the pitch at the same time. :drool: BTW thanks BOOG. Though you'll probably never show yourself in this thread again and won't even see this considering it's soccer :p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 ?17.2 million, thats a snip for a striker of his calibre. I remember Parma said they wanted ?35 million for him at first. Any way he is an excellent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
