FCB - Transfer Talk

[Oliver_Kahn]

Inter already have Crespo, Ibrahimovic, Adriano and Julio Cruz.

Milan have Gilardino, Inzaghi and Oliveira.
I think Toni would fit there.

[D-Kin]

No, he wouldn't.

Inzaghi and Gilardino are similar players to Toni, Milan don't need someone like him. They need a forward, someone like Cassano.

As for Inter, well they wanted Toni in the summer. Adriano will most likely leave anyway so they'll be in the market for a new striker.

[Oliver_Kahn]

Toni is a target man, Inzaghi isn't as far as I know.

Inter have Crespo and Julio Cruz as target men.
It's not for granted that Adriano will leave though.

[D-Kin]

I'm on about box strikers.

Milan need someone with pace and the ability to take defenders on and beat them. Toni isn't that player.

[Oliver_Kahn]

Toni could always be useful.
But I get your point.

Isn't Olivera that type of a player ?

[D-Kin]

Oliviera is that type of player but he's yet to convince me that he's good enough.

Either way Milan need another option.

[Oliver_Kahn]

So they probably they won't go for Toni then.

Though I don't think that Inter will go for Toni either, they already have 4 strikers, 2 of them world class.

[D-Kin]

Adriano is finished at Inter, I'm convinced he'll leave at the end of the season.

Zlatan is class as is Cruz but he's 31 and just a squad player. They've got Crespo as well but he's only at the club on loan.

In my opinion a Zlatan-Toni partnership would work very well. Like I said they were after him in the summer as well as Trezeguet.

[Oliver_Kahn]

I think Crespo's contract with Chelsea runs out at the end of this season, so he might sign for Inter permanently.

Indeed, Toni and Zlatan would be a great partnership.

[D-Kin]

I believe Crespo is on a two year loan deal actually.

[Oliver_Kahn]

That's probably untill his contract runs out.

[D-Kin]

You mean with Chelsea?

Possibly, I don't think they really want him anymore.

[Oliver_Kahn]

Yes with Chelsea.

After being linked with Villa and having Sheva and Drogba, they certainly don't need Crespo.

[D-Kin]

Crespo won't mind, he prefers to play in Italy anyway.

Plus his family lives there.

Bayern Munich have reportedly joined the lengthening list of clubs keen to sign Alemannia Aachen striker Jan Schlaudraff.

Despite his club's recent downturn in form and steady fall towards the relegation places, the 23-year-old has continued to impress, and is now reportedly being coveted by the Bundesliga champions.

According to Kicker magazine, Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness has informed his Alemannia counterpart of his club's interest in the player, with a view to commencing talks in the near future.

Hoeness has refused to deny his desire to bring Schlaudraff to the Alilianz Arena, though merely stated last Sunday: "I can't comment on this at the moment."

Schlaudraff has been strongly linked with a move to Werder Bremen, with sporting director Klaus Allofs a keen admirer of the striker, though Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart are also said to be chasing his signature.

Schluadraff would not be drawn when questioned on his future last Saturday, though has previously stated his caution at joining Bayern, with Claudio Pizarro, Roy Makaay, Lukas Podolski and Roque Santa Cruz already on their books, reasoning:

"Felix Magath would certainly not cry out: Hooray! Schlaudraff is finally on his way!"

In any case, the Germany international's advisor Manfred Schulte has revealed his client is "not looking for a club this winter. Nobody has contacted me with a view to signing him in winter. All talks are based on a possible transfer next summer."

Schlaudraff would be available for a transfer fee of exactly 1 million euros next summer, rather than the 1.2 million originally reported.
