I wouldn't trust Galliani as far as I could throw him.
Note: I'm not saying Lescott is bad or anything of the sort. He's an excellent CB.nmc said:Milan need to do some major rebuilding and they are going to need to raise some serious cash -so selling one of their major assets has to be a potential option. Who knows... I think Lescott has been great but Bobby didn't seem to want to playhim in the Champions League - so perhaps he is looking at other options.
Well, it is already the second time you've posted it so I would probably agree...Dzeko's Right Boot said:Have a feeling we might need to use this diagram a lot this summer...

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has rubbished speculation that the club are ready to offer Carlos Tevez or Mario Balotelli as part of a deal to land AC Milan star Thiago Silva.
The news comes just 48 hours after Mancini broke away from his family holiday in Italy to meet with Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani, where the future of Brazilian centre back Silva was high on the agenda.
City are long-term admirers of the 27-year-old, who is widely recognised as one of the best defenders in the world, but Milan are standing firm on their massive £40 million valuation of the player, prompting talk that Mancini has been trying to broker a deal that would see £10 million and one of Tevez or Balotelli go in the other direction.
However, despite confirming talks with Galliani, a bullish Mancini has been quick to deny speculation that he had made an offer, whether that included player exchanges or not.
'It lasted 10 minutes and I certainly didn't make an offer for Thiago Silva,' said Mancini.
'Even less did I offer Balotelli or Tevez to Milan.'
Barcelona and Paris St Germain are believed to have joined City in showing an interest in Silva in recent weeks, but Milan are digging in and will put up a fight to keep their star man.
It's a stance that will do little to put off interested parties, but following up on Mancini's comments yesterday, Silva's agent Paulo Tonietto says his client is going nowhere.
'Neither I nor Thiago have had contacts with Manchester City or Barcelona. His preference is certainly Milan. Only the club executives of Milan can decide whether to sell the player,' he said.
City are expected to firm up their interest with an offer, but not until later in the transfer window, with the club currently chasing other targets, including Lille winger Eden Hazard.
Silva is currently contracted to Milan until June 2016.
