But this isn't FM. :p
Are you guy kidding me?Akinfeev is my favourite keeper,we wanted him the last year,but an offer never took place.I watched enough of him to say he is the greatest talent(after Cech,but he is 25 already).Why do you think CSKA have clean sheet 80% of their matches?Its not from the defence I assure you...Arsenal-CSKA 0-0,remember this one?
But at the end,I really want to see Cech at Milan,that would change the look of our team.
Cech is at chelsea, him coming over to Milan is absolutely impossible.
Now, Akinfeev, if we spend the money on him, I really believe he is a good fit.
Next year I say we need about 40million transfer budget.
BTW, has anyone seen the draw with Fiorentina? I find that Fiorentina has really outplayed us, but that last change made by ancelotti seems like a good plan, moving Pirlo up with Kaka, and use Emerson to play Pirlo's position, I think that is Ancelotti's "new" secondary tactic from now on. I think its pretty good as Emerson protects the defense line, he is a real defensive mid, and pirlo can set up more short killer balls and form a partnership with kaka up (remember rui costa days?).

I saw the last ten to fifteen mins, and Pirlo was playing more of an advanced role, but because they wanted a win. It was still the same tactics really, just more urgency in the play. Milan looked very vulnerable because of it.
How sweet would it of been if Janku. scored on the free kick at the last kick of the game? :w00t
What did you guys think of Emerson? Anything special?
What you guys fail to realise is that Akinfeev will serve as our one non-EU signing for next season. Do we really want to use up that quota on a goalkeeper?
From what I've heard about the Fiorentina game they were far more dangerous than us, particularly on the counter, and we were lucky not to lose. I'd guess we're tired from the Super Cup.
i just dont think that milan needed another midfielder that plays emerson's DefMid Role...Gattuso, Brocchi and even Ambrosini would have sufficed for them...i think in the future they could have used that money more wisely and have found someone else in the january transfer window, maybe for defense since it is kind of aged...

how unfortunate, ive been readin and watchin vids in my soare time, hes touted as Zizous heir. Kaka is too brilliant, to bench, Perhaps a loan spell could do him wonders.
Loan spell? thats pretty much how ALL of our young players "died". If we want to bring a youth to star, we absolutely cannot loan them out. Do you need a list?
Massimo Donati
Coloccini
thats already ~25million euros
there were a lot more, I don't think we need to name them
For some reason I get the idea that milan should never buy players younger than 30.

Its just the manager should be changed...not the players,its about time.
I watched Fiorentina match and Frey showed pretty good and Gila was playing veeeeeeeeery bad,so a draw looked as a deserved result.I predicted a 0-0 draw by the way,so I am almost spot on.
Pato Scored in a friendly against Dynamo Kyiv. :w00t
Yep, but as one positive thing happens, one negative thing does.
Ronaldo is in Brazil where his personal doctor and the Brazil doctor have both blasted our medics for incorrect treatment of his thigh injury. Ancelotti was insistent that we'd have him back for next weekend but we're now being told he'll be fit in two to three weeks and Ronaldo seemingly lacks confidence in our medical team which is understandable if they really have treated his injury incorrectly.
Pato's and Gilardino's goals are readily available on YouTube. As you'll see when watching, Gilardino's god-awful control of the ball nearly prevented him from scoring.
Unreal. So Gilardino or Inzaghi will start for us against Siena probably.
Haha, Gilas goal was pretty cool tho.
Shame, you always hear good things about Milan's medical ways so it's quite surprising.
Latest news on Ronaldo is that he could be out until mid-October.
Me not happy.
latest news ronaldo's way of treatment seems to violate the law, seems like he pulled off a boriello.
We'll have to see what happens - his treatment in Brazil is considered doping but our incorrect treatment seems fine. Ancelotti isn't happy with the medical team either and I'm half expecting someone in the medical team to resign after this - which I don't want as I know how good they usually are.
Here comes ronaldo stirring up controversies again.
oh dear, I could see him leaving milan already...this is why sweey never wanted ronaldo...and I thought I outsmarted sweey...
KainLegacy
13-09-2007, 01:11
Hahaha,no one can outsmart Sweey...
Ronaldo will surely leave,but after the season or maybe after 2,but will stay now.I didnt like him either,his good play for us blinded many people,but thats still the same guy with the mental problems.Thats what I think.

Anyone watched the game with Siena?I want to see footage,Nesta scoring was a shocker.I need if not high quality,then atleast to see what is going on,just an overview,not the whole match.
And how did Gourcuff played?I am really interested in that.
I didn't see the game but I've seen clips.
What do we expect from a game if we play a five-man midfield of Gattuso, Brocchi, Emerson, Seedorf and Gourcuff? There is simply not enough creativity there, particularly when the lone striker is Gilardino. Gattuso, Brocchi and Emerson should simply never play together as it stifles our creativity too much and considering we're so dependent on Kaka and Pirlo - both of whom were missing - it wasn't exactly difficult to predict we'd struggle to score despite the fact we had some decent chances early on.
I'm hoping for an improvement soon and some consistency which we're going to need if we want to challenge for the Scudetto.
Seedorf and Brocchi where our only creative players during the game. Also Cafu at times, but who are they in terms of playmakers. :erm: lolz
If only Dida was a keeper. :(
guys, face it, with our depth right now, we won't win the scudetto. I mean sure we don't need to have a Inter Milan kind of excessive depth, but we still need depth, if we want to win trophies.
KainLegacy
18-09-2007, 06:50
My prediction before the season was Roma getting the Serie A and Chelsea getting CL,I could be wrong,but Roma are first right now,I expect tohugh we to be second.We have depth,but not in all areas(keepers mostly).
Relying on Dida, we're lucky to win anything. Add that to the fact we've got Bonera in defence :doh:, we're so heavily reliant on Pirlo and Kaka due to not having wingers and Gilardino is never going to come good with us and we definitely can't challenge for both competitions at the same time.
We should've bought Zambrotta (can play as a winger as well as being better than Oddo and Jankulovski - both of whom can also play in advanced wide roles) and another defender and goalkeeper. I'm just hoping that Pato will quickly come good and be a viable backup for Kaka as well as taking Gilardino's role anyway.
2-0 Up already. :)
Although Benfica should have scored a couple.
that was a free kick by pirlo though

18-09-2007, 23:36
Pirlo do his magic again.I wisely chosen my favourite player,I strive to play like him in real life.Cheers to all Milan fans for this great victory,I will go to watch the full match on replay right now on TV.
Watch out for Dida trying to fuck it all up.
Good win guys, good win. ;)
God damn draw against Parma. What a bunch of shit.
we need ronaldo back, lets face it, 4321 only works when there is overtime.
fuck i hate how we are playing right now
From reports I've read we had a ton of chances but couldn't score. The sooner we get rid of Gilardino the better. I've seen his miss last week and that's it. He's had more than enough time to get his act together and he simply won't do so at our club.
We need Ronaldo back and this is where we're missing another striker. Not even based on his current form this season, why we didn't push for Di Natale when there were problems between him and Udinese over the summer I don't know. They'll never let him leave in January.
KainLegacy
23-09-2007, 13:59
I watched the whole match and it was dissapointing again.Gourcuff didnt play again,but in the game were Brocchi and Emerson?!They are a lot weaker than this 20 year old talent.
I dont think Ronaldo is the cure for us and Juve wanted Gila for 18 milion if I remember corectly,imagine what player we could have bought with such money.We didnt push for Di Natale maybe because Carlo werent sure he would help the club,but that probably changed after seeing the goals for Italy.I like Di Natale,but there are better choises really,I would like Pato,but maybe it would be too late for the title at the time he comes in.
Di Natale is better then Pato. Di Natale has always been good, imagine him on a greater team(Milan) and what good things would happen. Udinese isn't that bad this year tho. they get better year after year it seems.
My post from another forum about why our indifferent start hasn't surprised me:
I've never agreed that last season's early slump in the league was down to our points penalty because, after the first three rounds, we'd eradicated it and were in the "black". Then it all fell apart.
No, the team weren't quite as fit as they should've been and only came to full fitness in January which is what aided our CL triumph and late season surge but we are the same Milan who fall apart, ride on our luck more than almost any other club of the same stature and don't invest enough (not necessarily in terms of money) in the squad.
It was only eight points and as the season was starting, Inter had dropped points. They'd have pulled away from us anyway but at that stage of the season we simply weren't good enough. Only later did we concentrate on the CL and this season again we'll end up going that way because we might have screwed a Scudetto challenge up by December if Inter get into a deadly run of form. We won't win the CL this season. I wish I felt we would but we rely too much on luck - our shaky defence and shambolic goalkeeper somehow not conceding when players are left open etc.
I agree that we do ride our luck, but the league is way different this year. I think it will be a tight one up top. Thing is that I'm not sure who it will be tight up top with in the Serie A if I had to choose. I don't see Milan doing it. Lets hope I'm wrong. Champions league I can see a good run for us, but not winning.

24-09-2007, 21:32
By the looks of it we are going to finish 3-rd(I hope 2-nd) in Serie A(Roma the winners,again hopefuly) and reach the quarter finals of CL,thats the best we could achieve(let aside the other competitions we are playing in,which I belive are enough to satisfy me if we win them).Even if we dont win anything else than the Super Cup I dont care as long as we play good and lose more from good teamwork of the smaller teams rather than costly mistakes by the defence and the GK.God,how much I want Cech in Milan...
ROME (AFP) — An Italian court here on Monday called for AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani to stand trial on charges of false accounting.
In addition to Galliani, Italian prosecutors issued a similar summons for Inter Milan vice president Rinaldo Ghelfi and a former Inter director, Mauro Gambaro, Italian news agency ANSA reported.
AC Milan and city rivals Inter are suspected of inflating their turnover figures for 2003-2005 to improve their balance sheets.
AC Milan, responding to Monday's development, insisted they were in the clear and that Galliani was innocent.
"Our accounts are accurate," the European champions said in a statement.
The affair centres on allegations that Inter and AC Milan bumped up the amount they had received from players' transfers so as to play down the true extent of their financial losses.
They are accused of exchanging second string players between themselves at over-inflated prices in order to wipe out part of their debts and fall back within parameters imposed by the Italian Football Federation.
Trust me when I tell you that both clubs are guilty. If need be, I'll dig out the old copy of World Soccer from years ago detailing the players I've never heard of in my entire life who moved for fees in the region of £6m each between the clubs.
Not quite sure what happened to the other clubs involved, including one who "sold" their entire playing staff and bought them back again about a week later for a completely different price.

I dont belive we've lost!!!
this is ridiculous, I used to defend Gilardino, but now, I really think that 26mil was another waste of money. now we are so screwed.
the sad part is, now we can't even sell him because his lost of form.
however, i can almost guarantee that for some magical reason, as soon as ronaldo comes back we'll be okay again.
Also, I really believe ancelotti needs to change his tactics, we are playing like a relegation candidate with his conservative strategies.
At current rate, I actually HOPE we crash and burn this year, getting 4th again should teach us something(not euro cup because that would lead us to not be able to buy top players). If we do bad, we'd certainly spend some goddamn money to change our teams. Our team needs change, a new goalkeeper(world class), a new defender (world class), new midfielder(an acceptable backup to Kaka) and a new forward (again, needs to be world class).
When you look at real madrid, barcelona, manchester, they are spent so much money. If they have our team, they'd probably spend twice the madrid figure. Now I know that is just being stupid, but we should at least spend 60million next season, otherwise AC is over.

27-09-2007, 01:02
It doesnt matter how much you spend its about how you spend what you spend it on, hope Kaka stays aswell
Because we won the European Cup, they believed we were good enough to continue as we are. Basically, the management (Galliani) seem to be waiting for a season when we fail in all competitions before buying the x number of new players we need. I believe that could now be this season but what they haven't banked on, quite literally, is the huge loss of revenue when we have that poor season and fail to qualify for the following season's Champions League.
Ancelotti needs alternative tactics as the good sides know how to stop us - especially when Gilardino is playing.
Lets hope they decide to make some transfers mid season. There are so many names that would come to Milan. Lets take them now before they start losing interest because we can't make it in the champions league next season.
that is so true, we are worse off than last year, forget the title, how can we get 4th
Also, I really believe ancelotti needs to change his tactics, we are playing like a relegation candidate with his conservative strategies.
Relegation candidates? You can't be serious. Milan out played Palermo and should've won comfortably. Palermo's first goal shouldn't have counted and the free kick scored by Miccoli should've been saved. At the end of day bad finishing is what cost you the match and bad luck.
okay, i don't me we playing like a relegation candidate, but I don't think I'm wrong to say we are scoring goals like a relegation candidate.
Bonera starting for you in the middle today?!
Best form of defence will be attack for you today.
How shit are we?!
Kalac did half a decent job and then didn't get back quickly enough to cut out the cross, the defence were sleeping and in attack we look woeful - and that's without the curse of Gilardino on the pitch. Good lord.
Yeah, Kalac was pretty lazy after he made that first save. He literally took his time and made some half ass jump, instead of trying to get back into a better position.
Maybe he still couldn't save it, but he should be showing more commitment to do so.
2:49
Exactly - and the defenders all went to the near post.
On a brighter note, when they show the shot with Berlusconi on the left of the picture, in the same box on the right-hand side of the shot is an absolutely gorgeous woman.

Fuck that for a laugh. A 1-1 home draw with Catania is wholly unacceptable. The fact our goal came from a non-existent penalty is even worse.

You guys need Ronaldo back pronto. Pato will also offer you something different, but you have to unfortunately wait until January for that.

If that unfolded like that, it could possibly be the funniest story ever.
Do you think Berlusconi would sack Ancelotti though? I always feel that Ancelotti would have to walk away, rather than him getting the sack.
If you all do get Mourinho, I could see Drogba following. Maybe even Carvalho too.
I for one wish that ancelotti get his sorry ass sacked. Yes he's had successes, but its be 6 years, ancelotti, get over with your christmas tree, try something new, develope something so that Gilardino can score without ronaldo. Damn you ancelotti stop being so conservative and aim for tie games, buy someone interesting damnit. Also, I'm sick of Berlusconi, back 20 years ago, he was like abramovic without the stupidity, now, he is like moratti but without the money.
waited whole summer for some money well invested, but all they give us was bullshit. bullshit, bullshit bullshit.
25million, are they kidding? they just won the fcking UEFA CL, thats like 100million direct income immediately, spend at least 50% of that (the other 50% for contracts), milan can totally rape inter's ass. Spending money doesn't always solve the problem, but when you only spend 25million, when you have so much available, that shows lack of ambition, and this is something a team like...Lazio would do.
Anyways, deeply disappointed, the season is starting out very unexpected though for me. (I guess Don Sweey was right, Damnit)

I base it on what the bookies offer. What people on this forum have failed to realise is that I put up such games as Milan-Catania because there's easy money to be made on 4-1 for a draw and 9-1 for a Catania win which I'm tempted to say they deserved.
Greenegg, Milan are never a certainty :no:
Does anyone who watched the game agree that Gilardino was more useful in the first half (when sitting on the bench) than he was in the second half when he played?
one day, all of us will suddenly wake up and say "why didn't we buy giuseppe rossi for half the money along with pato"
we could've ditched gilardino by now had we bought in rossi
by the way, did anyone else notice that both adriano and gilardino are from Parma, both have poor mentality, have natural talents but do not know how to use them well, bought by opposite sides, and now they both sucks?
However in Gilardino's case I'd blame the christmas tree, he simply can't do shit in it.
KainLegacy
01-10-2007, 02:00
Almost all Italy statrs are from Parma,I dont think its the club that made them with such personality.
I hoped for Rossi,Tevez,Henry,Villa,Iaquin ta,Di Natale...I lost my hope long ago.Why we target players and then say "We have Gila and Pipo,we dont need anyone else".I am not sure who is blocking the transfers,but our policy(except for the friendly personality of the players) on the transfer market is poor.From the above only Villa is made by me,but thats because I belive he will improve our attack greatly and I want him badly.
I lost all hope and for Gila becoming a star,he is just like Ventola and others who had promised much,but in the years offered way less.Inzaghi played kind of bad too and thats the reason we didnt score,but to relay on a 35 years old player to save us in every match doesnt sound like a champion on its march to glory.
Its obvious we must make a total change of the players next year(Maldini,Inzaghi,Favalli,F iori,Cafu,Serginho...),Pato is a good start for the attack,but I am more worried for our defense in the future,talented defenders are more hard to find than the next Kaka,Ronnie and whatever.Digao is in the club because of Kaka,not for his skills(I dont say he is bad,just medicore),other options are needed.We must buy a lot of new players and that may ruin the harmony,it should have been done in the past 1-2 years so youngsters could get used to our style.Gourcuff is the only one,but watching how he is wasted on the bench makes me sad,he is better than Brocchi,Emerson and even Ambro in my opinion.Arsenal has the youngest squad,but its first in the Premiership...Wenger to Milan?Why not...
You've listed all these players but it's not all that easy to sign them. One thing that I do agree with you is that Pato should get some more playing time. I think he could do well alongside Seedorf and Pirlo.

Does anyone feel that Berlusconi is going downhill in terms of influence as well?
Maybe we need someone like Abramovic, I was hoping it'd be Lee but that guy is more interested in buying Inter (not good), anyways, how are we going to sign ronaldinho with someone like Berlusconi.

Berlusconi's overall influence has gone, perhaps because of his age which is something that does happen. His plan is to make one mega signing (Ronaldinho) to appease the fans about his level of involvement whilst still not being particularly involved.
We need a good quality Italian striker who could become a star (I'm not naming names but don't like Rossi). We need a right wing-back and left wing-back, three central defenders (at least two and to sell either Bonera or Simic if not both), one defensive midfielder (would you mind leaving Emerson? Possibly Brocchi too) and one all-round midfielder. Then we would be complete. Lest I forget, two goalkeepers (fuck off Dida and Kalac).
It's hard to believe you loaned out Storari. Even if he's not a world class keeper, he's surely better than Kalac or Fiori.
He's probably better than Dida too :no:

Same problems as last season, except they should be fit this time around. Winning the CL made Galliani ignore all of our weaknesses, saying we can't be so bad if we can win the CL. He's among a small minority who felt that way and unfortunately that small minority all mattered in the running of the club and our transfer plans.

I'd say it is good but our only other options, Kalac and Fiori, are probably both worse. Kalac definitely is and Fiori hasn't played a game in years.

Juventus > AC Milan... you know it Sweey! The sad thing is I expect you'll agree! :D

Most have decent goalkeepers and a dynamic team. We've got Dida, Kalac, Bonera and Gilardino.

Didnt deserve to lose, celtic were outplayed for the majority of the match. Created nothing, alas unlucky.
When i saw the Dida thing i thought he actually got stabbed or something, but when i saw it was a pussy open palmed slap, laughable really. Especially because he wasted time by feigning the injury even more so.
Fuck what should Milan do now? This year we are screwed beyond imaginable, and it seems like nothing can help us now...

He's off to Barcelona in the summer in a swap for Ronaldinho - unless we fail to qualify for the CL in which case we're selling him for £50-60m to Real Madrid or Barcelona, the latter only if Ronaldinho moves to another club, and using the money to finally change the squad.
Hey Calzone, I dunno man, on top of the worst, it seems like now Kaka want to leave. I think it is obvious that Kaka for Ronaldinho is a bad swap, but if we can get some money out of it, then it wudn't be so bad. However, knowing Berlusconi, he'll never make good use of money.
I really hope Kaka doesn't leave, he is just at his prime, but then again, if milan doesn't make it to CL this year, he is leaving for sure.
who really needs to leave? there is a huge list, Cafu, Dida, Gilardino, Serginho, Favalli, all these shitheads needs to leave, if Kaka leaves I'm afraid I will jump off milan's wagon for a while (after being loyal to milan, I find it hard to remain with them after they let both shevchenko and Kaka go, I hope everyone wud understand)

Inter welcome you with open arms...
No, just no, I would rather go to hell, good one though, god.
big win today, let's just keep our fingers crossed.
is Ronaldo back for todays match?
no, the game is already over, 4321, 5-1, gilardino the idiot finally scored two goals. However, I'm not impressed, a team like AC Milan shouldn't have their best striker take 7 matches to score his first goals. However, I'm happy to keep Gilardino as long as he is not the #1 striker, we can definitely keep him if we have a younger version of Ronaldo playing with him at all times.
Apparently Gilardino's goals are both excellent. Not going to get overly excited although this was a superb result.
From what I've heard and it may be inaccurate, Lazio's goalkeeper wasn't particularly good so I want to check that out first. Lazio have also been fairly poor in the league this season, like ourselves, so although we've thumped them we have to put the result in context. Hopefully this will serve as a real confidence booster for Gilardino and the rest though.
dude we have a long way to go from 4th place, and considering their goalie was 22, I don't think he was very good.

Gilardino's second goal was class. It was a great move topped off with an excellent volley. However, Lazio's keeper, Fernando Muslera, was pretty damn awful for that game - he looks like and played like a 12 year old.
KainLegacy
08-10-2007, 16:16
Acctualy is "Nestor" Muslera,its really bad to have such a young and such an old keeper,Lazio will surely have problems with them.Most of the goals were between the keeper legs and when adding a lob from more than 25 meters and a penalty made by him(2 to be honest) it becomes ugly.I think the keeper is considered hot prospect,but I didnt see anything good from him.
Gila goals were really nice,but the good part is that he boosts his price so we can sell him for more money,rather than showing he deserves first team place.
And to yaohan...I dont care for Kaka,I hope he leaves for the 100 milion offered by Real so we can fix the whole team at once,rather than hoping he will drive us forward.What happens if he is injured?We dont have decent cover and in truth we dont have a decent first team players for some positions.The bad results are a test for the fans,the true fans can be seen in such moments,its easy to like a club when its winning you know.

Dude, if we can use the goddamn 100milllion from kaka, i'd be happy too, but like joel has pointed out about sheva, which u admit to be our transfer policy problem, I dont need to say much.
this season, again, we got about 100million JUST FROM UEFA CL, how much of that did we see on the transfer market? If we sell kaka, chances are we will not spend the money well, and we'll be totally screwed.
Conclusion, we need Kaka, more than ever. He is our new shevchenko.
Gilardino might need drug testing. He scored!
haha, good one. if borriello didnt get drug banned last season though, I think he might've been our perfect replacement for gila
haha, good one. if borriello didnt get drug banned last season though, I think he might've been our perfect replacement for gila
I sincerely doubt it. He was poor, he was wrong to demand a place when he returned from his ban and I don't believe he's good enough to play for a big club and do well.

We must sell Kaka. We need money to buy seven or eight top quality players. There is a bigger picture here. If Kaka gets his leg broken, we're done for. I don't want him to go but I don't see we've got enough money to fix the squad properly. That said, if we have a fair amount of money in reserve which Berlusconi is holding, we should instead use that to solidify the team around Kaka.
Take our wage bill out of the money we got from the CL last season and how much is left? Not as much as we think. We have a huge wage bill and it doesn't include bonuses. Gate receipts are good compared to other clubs in the country as we have the highest average attendance but we pay a lot for the San Siro. Almost every club in Italy is in debt and it is endemic of the situation we have regards stadium ownership etc.
Yes we needed to spend more but Berlusconi is very astute when it comes to business and I do have faith in him.

We really should be buying players that complement Kaka in play and being a side like Milan, its hard to believe its a problem. It is very sad.

If you truly believe Milan is financially in trouble, look at Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter, and all these clubs that are willing to spend on the transfer market. Milan is probably one of the only few big name teams that is actually "profitable". I don't believe that Milan will be in extra crisis had we spent 5 million more this season to strengthen our depth. Some may not realize it, but we already spent about 45million last season in total, extra 5~10 million won't change much. Also, I don't think Milan's wage is THAT huge, but I guess just this season we had some bonus on renewing contract with Nesta and Dida.
Regarding to selling Kaka, just NO, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. we do have fairly bit of money, if we can keep in top 4 this year, we should be able to buy a few players to build around kaka. Honestly, if you sell Kaka, you are not going to be able to buy 7 to 8 top players, take a look at what happened after shevchenko left. What we should do, is take your second alternative, which is to simply solidify the team as it is. Just don't sell the core of your team.
I wouldn't mind selling Kaka to Barcelona however, if these are the players we buy:
Akinfeev,

Yaohan, you're forgetting the rules regarding only one non-EU player per season. Akinfeev and Dos Santos would both be classed as non-EU players I believe - plus Barcelona would never let Dos Santos go.
I'd like to see an excellent goalkeeper (Kain, I too rate Frey highly and was thinking such during the Fiorentina-Juventus game on Sunday), Barzagli, two good wing-backs (Alves and Zambrotta are options as is Zaccardo) two creative midfielders but not necessarily attacking midfielders and a striker. Unfortunately, we've been subjected to this from Galliani today:
“I can say that as long as Adriano Galliani will be delegate administrator and Silvio Berlusconi the President of this club Nelson Dida will remain Milan's goalkeeper."
:huh::crymore:
Ronaldo supposible back on the 21st of october!
That's what they're saying. Fingers crossed he doesn't have a trademark relapse!
Okay, maybe not dos santos
I really think we should've got Hildebrand, but...whatever,
We could just get Amelia, he is by far the best option.
If we don't get Dos Santos, we can try getting Van der Vaart, he seems like a good option.
I definitely think we need to buy Barzagli by the next season, although he isn't as good as Nesta at his age, I'd say Barzagli is VERY SOLID, and possibly the best defender in his generation (plus other than nesta, italian defenders usually mature a bit late, usually 30 year old is their peak).
just heard new rumor, Carvalho isn't enjoying life in Chelsea, and wish to transfer to AC Milan. How do you think about this sweey?
Keeping in mind this is a rumor, I think this is good news and bad news. Good news is Carvalho will be cheap, and world class, bad part is that cuts Barzagli from our plan next season, whom i regard to be a better choice long term. However, since Simic wants to leave, and Cafu+Favali = shitty, I guess Carvalho can play right back as well, and Kaladze and move the Left Back/Center Back, which still makes our squad much more deep, and more ready for multi-fronts.
IMO Carvalho got enough experience to occasionally replace Nesta.

If they sell Kaka for...50mil euro+ Deco + Dos Santos, I think the other 50million is a must.
Personally I can't see Kaka' leaving Milan, but it is going to be interesting to see over the next year or so the kind of player Milan bring in.
The squad they have hasn't changed much over the last 4 or 5 years and they're all knocking on a bit now, but when you've got professionals like Clarence Seedorf who has been one of my favourite players over the last 10 years, he looks like he could play on until his late 30's at the highest level, so who knows.
It'll certainly be interesting to see if Alexandre Pato gets first team football when he joins in January.

He's already joined, just isn't allowed to play until January because of his age. From what the hierarchy are saying, he'll get fairly regular first team action as he'll be a cross between a backup for Kaka and a partner for Ronaldo.
Yeah sorry, I knew he'd joined, just wasn't sure why exactly he couldn't play until Jan.
Only seen bits of him on YouTube and on Sky Sports Brazilian football highlights but he looks a really good talent. Looking forward to seeing him turn out for Milan definitely.

We've got a friendly with Athletic Bilbao over this weekend. Normally we don't have mid-season friendlies and I think this, as with the Dinamo Kiev one a month or so back, is being used to keep Pato fresh ahead of January.

Today match was bad again,we played from 90-th to 95-th minute only,our self confidence is too high even after the poor results this season.Maybe beating Lazio by 1-5 was a mistake and we would continue to play shite until the next great match.A new coach is vital for the team.
By the way,Carlo is coming to Bulgaria this week,but I am unable to go to ask him questions...after all I would ask him too difficult questions and his translator would reject em.Like "Maybe this is the time for you to move away so Milan can have a fresh approach,considering you gave all you can to the club?".

Terrible performance today, will Ancelotti definitely be going or something
We won't invest heavily on rebuilding the squad until we have a terrible season and Uncle Fester (Galliani) opens his eyes. In that terrible season we will fuck up the CL and probably finish outside the top four. I believe this is that season and if it is, with Mourinho out of work Ancelotti wouldn't be kept to the end of the season.
A lot can change and there could be a complete turnaround but we look like an absolutely broken Milan the moment Kaka isn't playing and that just isn't right. If he gets a season-ending injury then what?

He might not play the best football in the world, but it doesnt help when you get little backing from your board, your team has an average age of about 35 and your best player is out injured.

The average age is below 30, our best player is Kaka who was rested, our league performances in the last three years have not been good enough and it is Ancelotti who has failed to devise a system different enough from our first choice 4-3-1-2 making us so narrow and predictable.
We're not good enough to get far in the Champions League this season and our league form is abysmal so far which could result in no CL football next season. That costs us a hell of a lot of money and further hits our attempts to strengthen an squad which, despite an average age under 30, needs fresh blood and a smattering of younger players.
Galliani should carry most of the blame but the cycle with Ancelotti should have finished this summer. Two CL successes is excellent in anyone's spell and it is time for fresh ideas.

Fair enough Sweey, didnt think it was quite that desperate a situation.
Where do I start?
The referee was shit today but didn't cost us the game. Gilardino deserved a free-kick just outside the area in the second half, Roma's penalty was non-existant, Cafu and Favalli were both called up for brilliant tackles, at least the latter booked too. That said, we were poor.
At times we looked dangerous but aside from the five minutes of urgency after the missed penalty, we were too pedestrian. Why can't we play more like we did in that five minutes when Roma were struggling to keep us out? Five minutes of injury time and we didn't have a single attack.
What absolute rubbish.
I'm going to break out in tears. :(

Which I'm sure you'll agree is when you know that either the coach must go or the entire team needs to be changed.

I do agree, and i think it needs both, a new coach and getting rid of some of the older players and getting in some younger players, especially a forward
Well we're all pinning our hopes on Pato from January. By all I include Galliani and Berlusconi.

Something i didn't get was the fact that they only made 2 changes why not bring on Inzaghi for Gilardino, also whats happened to Gourcuff lately, haven't seen him in a while?
Gourcuff has managed to lose his confidence. He shows some signs of excellence but the package isn't quite coming together yet. I believe he'll leave unless someone like Mourinho or Rijkaard comes in and rejuvenates him.
I was asking myself with ten minutes to go why Inzaghi hadn't come on. At least to try something different although I do think Gilardino was far better today than he has been in recent weeks and looked like he had some sort of confidence after his recent goals.

Gilardino is showing signs of improving but by the last 10 minutes he was just getting frustrated, they needed to change things round, i dont see the point of not making a change if your are a goal down and the only forward you have on the field has completely run out of idea's.
You know how the English media pile the pressure on managers who arent doing well, like Benitez at the moment, are the Italian press doing the same with Ancelotti
Unfortunately no, they're not. At least not the way the English media would. It has been years since Inter, Juventus or Milan sacked a coach in mid-season...

I liked the match personaly,but I must admit we were playig for a draw rather than a win...the sad part is we didnt get either.Pirlo was rubbish today and Kaka didnt shine much.Gattuso made the best attack,at first I thought that was Gila,that says much about the attack of the team,but there was some creativity,considering we were against Roma or is it just that I lost faith we could beat other big teams without Pippo...Carlo did bad with the subs so is his mistake too.Why Tottenham can remove Jol and Chelsea Jose,but we cant remove our having in mind we are poorer than Chelsea at the moment?
No you can't.
Chelsea's form are miles better than Milan's form at this rate.
5-0? damnit why won't milan score these goals more evenly, against every team... just by looking at goals for and against, we should be at least on the left hand side of the standings....

Lolz,Gila got 2 goals and an assist :lol: ,that is something special.
Gourcuff scored too :tongue: !
In the first half Gila made his ordinary misses,but upped his game after half time.I am really pleased with our performance,I hope it stays like that for the future,doubt it :).
Corriere said Ronaldinho is going transfer listed ?!?!His name and those of Drogba,Ballack,Amauri,Albelda and some others are linked with us,saying we will spend 100 mln at this window.To be honest I dont belive any of that,but it would be really nice if there is something true.
Drogba - YES, VERY YES
Ballack - No, please no, transfer fee salary nothing works out
Albelda - NO, do we really need another DMF after having the best ambrosini, emerson, and gattuso?
Amauri - if not drogba, then yes, but only for under 20m
Ronaldinho - OMG OMG OMG (quoting homer simpson)
100m at this window- are they crazy? that is un-heard of
5-0? damnit why won't milan score these goals more evenly, against every team
That's EXACTLY what I want to know. It's fine beating Lazio 5-1 and Sampdoria 5-0 but if you then keep losing 1-0 there's obviously things to be fixed. It's been obvious for a couple of seasons that at home we struggle because we can't break teams down and visitors come to the San Siro to defend and hit on the break. When we travel, trams are open to us as they are looking to attack.

Well I've heard that Berlusconi will use around £75m next summer to strengthen the squad and Drogba is being continually named. Benzema has also been mentioned a lot and although he's not proven yet, I like him as a player.

By the way for anyone who has a reasonable idea, whose spot is Pato going to take? Do you think Milan will try Gila and Pato up front, with Kaka and Seedorf behind them?
mufcsean
04-11-2007, 01:55
I doubt he will be a starter to be honest not at first anyway, he will probably be a sub
Jake Small
04-11-2007, 01:57
Yeah he's too green to start I think. I doubt they'll try playing him as a lone man for that reason as well... I assume they'll try playing him with Gila.
Pato-Ronaldo people. He'll start from the bench in January unless Ronaldo or Gilardino are injured but I'm expecting to see him play more often than not with Ronaldo. He'll feature regularly with a view to playing him in Kaka's role sometimes.
New poll going up now with mufcsean's idea and Jake Small's to be done at the winter break if someone can remind me.
POLL ENDED (Who would you like to see as the next Milan coach?)
9 Jose Mourinho - Bammers05, Calzone, Dmitris, God, Joel, LevYashin, Pique, wan109, yaohan
7 Frank Rijkaard - -ThE G -, Don Sweey, Haribo, Jake Small, Original?, RB14 ARSENAL, Scarface

I think Milan's next home win will be January 27 v Genoa.

Kain, are you surprised by the result or did you expect it despite our great performance in midweek?

I am spot on with my prediction(well it was 1-1 with Rossina scoring and late equalizer by us scored by Kaka from penalty :)).But a draw,yes,dissapointing really.
For the poll I voted for Livorno,but we play good against big teams so it could be Juve(seeing the draw with Inter...),maybe making a big win by 3 or 4 goals and then losing all matches against the likes of Reggina.Still,I voted for Livorno,because it sounds more likely.
The next poll could be "Do you want Gila after his good performances lately",just an idea,its interesting to see how many "yes" there would be.
MILAN, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Former Sweden and AC Milan great Nils Liedholm has died at the age of 85, the funeral directors near his Italian home said on Monday.
Liedholm was captain of the Sweden team that lost the 1958 World Cup final to Brazil and he won four Italian titles with Milan before embarking on a successful coaching career.
May he rest peacefully.
Probably a result of our shocking home form :huh:
They will win there next home game if Ronaldo plays:happy:

Lovely play by Pirlo for the opener, and Kaka did well to squeeze in the second, but based on what I saw during the match and the SkySports highlights, the final score was harsh on Shakhtar. If aiming the ball straight into the goalkeeper's arms equalled a goal, Brandao would be the most prolific striker in world football.
Inzaghi equalled Gerd Muller's goalscoring record tonight, not bad for someone who has never really seen as a "World Class" striker.

Can't see the game finisihng. I'm expecting it to be called off soon.

Why?
It's been suspended after about ten minutes. Atalanta ultras don't need a reason to cause trouble with the police so what's happened today is like Christmas for them.
BERGAMO - In this moment the players of Milan and Atalanta have re-entered the dressing rooms. The game was suspended in the 7th minute. The plexiglass barriers have been partially broken by the Atalanta home fans. It is being discussed whether it's appropriate to continue playing.

Its really dangerous to go and watch a match in the stadium in Italy recently.
By the way the killed fan attacked other people,right?Death is never the solution,but why such things happen?I am at lost to explain it.
Will the match be played later tonight?Maybe with no attendance...
Damn shame this had to happen:(
Have they decided what they will do?
The game has been called off.
And my thread earlier was to state that both a fan and policeman have been killed in violence this year, not a sick joke as Don thought it was.
“I’d say that Alexandre is better than Ronaldinho"

Ancelotti trip to Bulgaria finished and he returned to Italy.He was granted a honorable title and was met by the Milan fan club(sadly I was unable to go,because I am short on money at the moment).
The organisation was horrible and Carlo saw the very bad of our nation(microphones not working,the hall WAY too small and his wife got ovations from some uninteligent people...).Aside all the bad there was and many good things ofcourse,our food and wine :tongue:,the nature and some historical objects for him to see.He said he liked his stay here and will come every year(hopefully I wil be there next time) and will take with him some of the stars in Milan(Kaka,Pirlo,Seedorf...).
There are a lot of photos,should I put a link?

okay, just a random thought, does anyone feel that berlusconi is not influential enough anymore, and Milan needs a new richer owner who will complete the blood transfusion process?

I think I said it a couple of pages back (or on another forum). Berlusconi, be it due to age or his politics, doesn't have time for football anymore and that is why I blame Galliani for the current problem. Adriano is in charge of the daily running of the club with Berlusconi only being asked if we can purchase a player Galliani deems worthy of asking him about.

He's extremely unique to say the least.
Oh, and old Carlo was saying in the media recently that we won't win the CL due to a lack of experience. Evidently he's gone overboard with ensuring your squad has experience!
