Roma are ready to use goalkeeper Alexander Doni as a makeweight in the deal to complete the permanent signing of Luca Toni from Bayern Munich.
Toni is at Roma on loan until June, and Il Corriere Dello Sport claims the Italians are ready to speak with Bayern to keep him permanently.
It is said the Germans want €6 million for the player, but Roma are ready to include Doni as part of the deal. The Brazilian has been hampered by injury this term, and has not been convincing when he has played.
The idea being floated around Trigoria is that Doni is no longer a part of the plans, and they will look to use him as a bargaining tool.
A move could work for both teams as Bayern were interested in Doni last year, but the transfer never took flight.
Furthermore, Louis van Gaal seems set to stay on the bench at the Allianz Arena, fuelling speculation that Toni will not return to Munich. Toni's deal with the Bavarians expires in 2011.

Urby Emanuelson has also spoken, revealing that he thinks Milan can win the Champions League based on tonight's performance:
“We played wonderfully tonight, and Ibra was amazing. Everyone talks about Barcelona and Madrid, but if we always play like tonight we could win this competition.
“You have to consider that we still have a lot of injuries. Look what Boateng did after just coming back – that speaks volumes.
“When everyone is available for selection, I'm sure we can win the Champions League.”

Milan owner and former Italy prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has this to say:
“I said to Ibrahimovic not to use his hands (in reference to slapping a Napoli player at the weekend) and only his feet – he did that tonight.
“He reminded me of Van Basten, whom I am very happy for with his new job at Heerenveen.
“As for the future, we already have a great coach in Allegri and we're very happy with him. I speak to him and give him suggestions as I did with all my previous coaches.
“Champions League or Scudetto? We will try to win everything, and I think we can do just that. We had a lot of injuries, but we have a big squad, so we should be able to compete on all fronts.”

And now we have some reaction from San Siro, courtesy of our man in the field Sergio Stanco...

Robert Zeliang has this to say of Arsene Wenger: "Wrong tactics, fool. Arsenal have dug their own graves.”
Meanwhile, Tonde Chitonho has asked Thierry Henry to take Arsene Wenger back to the US with him!
And on the subject of Henry, Rizky Ferdiansyah humorously added: “King Henry couldn't beat the Prince Boateng!”

After the match, I took to Facebook and Twitter again to get some fan reaction. Lets take a look at what our readers have to say:
Joel Peeperkoorn feels that Arsenal should rest their big guns in the second leg, saying: “There's no way we can beat Milan by five goals."
Jez Cook, however, takes a different perspective, singing himself back to positivity: “FIVE FOUR we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four ....FIVE FOUR we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four ...FIVE FOUR - just keep repeating it.”
Well, you have to admire his fighting spirit...
