Good morning, buon giorno.

It's a new week after the final of the 2009 World Football Challenge won by Chelsea under the leadership of ex AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti.  Time for the PEACE CUP with FC Juventus as the only Italian team participating. Transfer markets for AC Milan, INTER, JUVENTUS, AS ROMA continue. Ibrahimovic already with Barcelona and the name of "Huntelaar" sounds stronger for AC Milan while "Jeremy Menez" seems ready to leave AS Roma.  Oh my gosh, not to even mention a schedule protest from Milan fans in AC Milan headquarter.... OUCH... so much going on...

zzzzz. zzzz. (still sleepy)  Guys, I woke up a bit late today, but here I am with my Cappuccino. Get ready and get your coffee, a juice or  simply grab a snack and let's get the ball rolling to read the latest Serie A news. Don't even remind me of the terrible role from the 2 Italian teams AC Milan and FC Inter in the World Football Challenge ending in the last 2 places. OUCH... Well, at least FC Inter won the Derby.

Say no more, here is the front page of Italy's  sports newspaper "Il Corriere dello Sport" from this morning Monday, July 27, 2009.

2009 World Football Challenge
Milan Derby AC Milan 0 - 2 FC Inter

Headline: Derby, What a Milito!!!!

The Argentinian led Inter in Boston with a brace / doppietta Milan KO (2-0)

Moratti now wants CASSANO: Transfer market summit with Mourinho.

Anna Italia Opinion:  Ok, guys, let's say it clearly:  FC Inter won convincingly while AC Milan only showed signs of "what's happening to Milan!!!!"

It was the first MILAN DERBY to be played in the USA, a friendly... but hello, hello, hello... nothing is friendly when it comes to the MILAN DERBY.

Many thought ---including myself -- that Inter was going to struggle in this derby without Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Well, surprise, surprise, surprise... there he was .. who?  ARGENTINIAN DIEGO MILITO to show that Inter can survive without Ibrahimovic.

Yep!  Il Principe Milito scoring a brace gave Inter the MILAN DERBY.

Ibrah on the other hand is "HAPPY AS A CHILD" in Barcelona thinking on his new future by visualizing the option to finally win the Champions League.

A bad day for USA and AC Milan defender Oguchi Onyewu and Gattuso asking BERLUSCONI to make them a gift by buying a top shot either a defender or a striker and I will say how about a goalkeeper too!!!

It's no wonder why AC Milan Coach Leonardo is so disappointed, and SO AM I!  Guys, AC Milan fans would have been crying, pulling their hair watching a "mediocre Milan," starting with the disappointed performance by Oguchi... gee... and not a sharp PATO, and oh my gosh KALAC better go down on his knee for forgiveness. Yet, good signs from RONALDINHO. 

I disagree with LEONARDO alluding that Inter had the advantage of not traveling much and rested more.. hello.... that has nothing to do.  Let's be honest and admit that Inter played better.  Oopps.. Yes, Leonardo already admitted. Too bad only that Inter and Milan lost their other 2 games... so, bottom line,  the 2 Italian clubs a big disappointment in this USA tour....  you might disagree with me... but I expected more.

AC Milan Transfer Market

Wake up call for AC MILAN !!!!!  Guys, can somebody tell me what is SILVIO BERLUSCONI doing with all the MILLIONS from the sell of KAKA????   Hello... did Milan already sign a big shot and I don't know???  

Oh my gosh, guys, when I heard the OPEN CRY from the roaring lion GENNARO GATTUSO asking Berlusconi to make them a gift, I was like YOU GO GATTUSO.. TELL HIM!

Not only Gattuso, but also Coach LEONARDO after the game AC MILAN - CHELSEA asking that he needed at least one striker and a defender to complete the squad.
Wonder whether Berlusconi is listening... KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK... Berlusconiiiiii LISTEN!!!!!  

It seems that Luis Fabiano is already a PUUUFFF.. no more... Just "ridiculous" how Milan cannot afford to pay 5 more millions ... helloooo Berlusconi not only owner of AC Milan, but sold MUSICA AND MAGIA KAKA and being one of the richest men in Italy if not the MOST...

So now, the latest name in Milan transfer market is HUNTELAAR who already rejected the offer from Stuttgart.  Guys, Huntelaar seems not finding a space in REAL MADRID who paid 27 millions euro???    Anyway, Adebayor already in Manchester City...

Rumors that AC Milan are also interested in Bendtner... but the fact remain that HUNTELAAR is the real objective.  Hey, hey, hey... though Arsene Wenger is interested in Roma forward Vucinic... Ouch.. guys, incredible.. but if MILAN does not sign Huntelaar now that PELLEGRINI excluded him from the friendly against Al Hitjad.. then, it will be another disappointment. Time is running by.... and not many top shot strikers available!!!!!


AS ROMA Transfer Market

Headline:  "Marseille Insist on having Jeremy Menez.....

Anna Italia Opinion: Guys, far from AS Roma forming a strong squad to redeem themselves after ending in the 6th place last season, it seems like players are running away while fans keep contesting the management....

Latest news, according to the article is that JEREMY MENEZ might leave.  Hello, Menez wants to leave because he struggles to be in the first team... Hum??!!!  Well, if a player wants to be in the starting line up he has to demonstrate his fitness during trainings, right? 

Deschamps wants Menez in Marseilles. Problem is that the offer does not go beyond 8 millions Euro and Roma not willing to sell yet unless they increase one more million. 

Another one who seems to leave is Mirko Vucinic, offers are from Tottenham and Lyon. Yet, Vucinic is not that happy with these two offers.  According to the "DAILY STAR SUNDAY" Arsenal might be interested in Vucinic and offering around 20 million Euros to replace Adebayor who went to Manchester City.

Problem is that Arsenal also wants Huntelaar and is a duel with AC Milan for the same player.  Bottom line guys, AS Roma supposedly asks 25 million Euros for Vucinic but willing "to negotiate."

Oh my gosh, say what!!!!!!  Mamma mia... Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti suggesting to get AS Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi!!!!!!!!!!  Hum! What!  NO, NO, NO, NO... I rather see DE ROSSI with the Roman gladiators as he clearly is a symbol for the Giallorossi and most likey successor of Totti as captain once he retires...  So, caro Ancelotti, lascia perdere per carita'!!!!!

Oops.. my goodness if all these transfer rumors from ROMA are a reality, then, somebody start collecting money to buy a competitive squad. The article mentions that Fiorentina is interested in JUAN, RODRIGO TADDEI and MATTEO BRIGHI.  Most likely, Roma will be ready to negotiate only for Brighi.  Fiorentina offers an exchange with Santana...

OUCH!  Oh my gosh, the more I read the article, the bigger my headache!  Say what????!!!!  Alberto Aquilani might leave too?  where?  TO LIVERPOO if Xabi Alonso leaves ...  pass some TYLENOLS for the headache... not only I have a headache with the poor performance from AC MILAN and INTER in the World Football Challenge but also with the caos in ROMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Oh well... some good news with Roma still interested to sign Argentinian forward Julio Cruz.  Guys, Cruz rejected offers from Greece and Turkey and had some contacts  with Napoli, Lazio ... oh well... now even VAGNER LOVE available?  


FC Inter Transfer Market

Hey guys, now looks like FC INTER PRESIDENT MASSIMO MORATTI is ready to sign Sampdoria forward ANTONIO CASSANO ''' if it pleases Mourinho.!!!!!!

Well, Cassano might join Inter.. there is a clause of 20 million euros which includes 5.5 for Real Madrid.  Advantage is that Mourinho and Cassano already have a good chemistry... though Mourinho is thinking on Deco and Di Maria who belong to the group of his procuratore "Jorge Mendes."

Won't  you rather see CASSANO in AC Milan or back in ROMA?

NAPOLI

The duo QUAGLIARELLA - LAVEZZI... guys... am I happy now or what!!!!!  I AM JUMPING with the good start from forward Fabio Quagliarella.  Quagliarella made his debut with a brace.. a doppietta.  Lavezzi also scoring and welcome by his fans STILL CRAZY FOR HIM while the tense Lavezzi-De Laurentis is still going on.



LAZIO Transfer Market

Ouch, super Ouch!!!! guys, here is the big problem because Lazio Coach Davide Ballardini  won't call up  forward GORAN PANDEV for the Supercoppa Italia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Wait, not only that.. .but Pandev will remain in Rome...

Making matters worst, Ballardini and Lazio President Claudio Lottito saying that if a player is not happy with the team (an indirect to Pandev)  he might leave... 

FC JUVENTUS Transfer Market

A big no and flat REJECTION to the hope of AC Milan to sign French forward David Trezeguet.  Guys,  Alessio Secco declared that they never received an offer from AC Milan, but any way they will reject such offer.  David is for sale only outside Italy.  The contract of Trezeguet expires in June 2012.
