Who are the best team in Italy if not Milan?

And where do they stand in Europe? I cant think of many better teams.

Juventus WERE the best team seeing as even before the match fixing scandal they were the regular Italian league winners in the last 7 years or so. Now I guess you have to say Milan.

True there aren't many better than Milan in Europe but Barcelona are one of those few.

(Along with Liverpool who beat them in the European Cup final!)

Don't say silly stuff like that!

Milan with Ronaldinho would be better than Barca without him. They reached consecutive CL finals and really showed at the time they were europes best team. It won't take them much to get back to that spot. Excluding Chelsea of course who are just stupidly strong.

Milan are a big club but barca have been better than them in recent times retaining La Liga and winning the european cup.

Now they have lost shevchenko and possibly kaka, there would seem little point in him joining a currently inferior club, unless they offered him a massive salary hike.

 I think the transfer rumours are just that, rumours and groundless speculation as is inevitable every time the season approaches.

The average age of Barca in the semi final Vs Milan was 25. The average at Milan was 32. Mlan have an entire rebuilding process to do whereas Barca are on the up not even at their peak yet.

Milan would be better with Ronaldinho but if you had both teams without him Barca would still win IMO.

So again I see no reason for him to move.

Barcelona are a bigger and more prestigious club than Milan.

I can't think of many Brazillians who have found it hard to adapt to Italian culture.

I agree with you flushy but still think the style of game in spain is more suited to brazilians.

Also, if Ronaldinho stays at Barcelona for say another 5-7 years, they win another european cup, maybe 2 and win the league a few times, I think Barca fans would say that Ronaldinho is the greatest Barca player of all time. There would be something special abuot saying your the greatest player of all time for the most iconic football club in the world (and that includes Man Yoo!!)? The question is, why leave, and i dont think $$ is enough of a reason.

Money is a big issue, a footballer has 15 years to earn enough money to set him up for life. If Milan offer enough and Kaka stays, he may well wish to join them.
