Regardless, the sooner Berlusconi drops this Ronaldinho thing the better. Hopefully he's being smart and using this as a smokescreen for something else - I can't work out why he would believe Ronaldinho is the answer to our increasing squad problems.
Actually, Ronaldinho is a great addition to any team. But Berlusconi must perceive that Milan will live without Ronaldinho. Looking for someone else is the best solution now, besides, I do not think that Ronaldinho worth 70M.

Do not compare Italy to Greece. This doesn't make sense at all. What happened in the previous european nations was an exception.
I dislike arguing with you as you don't understand a lot of what I say. Just because I dislike arguing with you, doesn't mean you understand me.
What is your problem? Their is no any relation between the language and points of views. Also, how many discussion do we have to make you say I dislike, I BLAH, BLAH, BLAH......?
Anyway, Me as well and Good Luck.
Well if they do I never read it and if I did I just ignored it.
Seria A, I like watching it, some good matches and the stories of it being boring is just a myth, some matches are but its the same all over the world, some class matches also. But some younger people just read that its boring so never watch it then post saying its boring because they have heard it...Idiots.
Well hopefully anyone who considers watching it didn't turn into Livorno-Empoli last night. I purposely avoided it thinking it would be boring and considering the result and the fact Livorno were playing and didn't do at all well despite being at home, it sounds as though I was right to do so.
Firstly, my comment wasn't offensive, aggressive or disrespectful in any way. If anyone found offense in it, i recommend they seek therapy.
I thought it was rather humorous, but some people in these boards are such sore cunts that they, clearly, can't get over Muad'Dib having put them in their place on several occasions, and seem to be looking for fault where there is none. It's ok, Muad'Dib understands.
The fact of the matter is that Ahmedios said that he, and millions of others, think it's the best, when it is not. So, this is a clear indication that those who think it is, are either biased foreign supporters of any of it's top clubs, Italians, or people that haven't followed any other league apart from Serie A.
I don't watch every single Serie A game, as that may be hazardous to one's sanity, but i do watch games involving Milan and Inter, so my opinion is based on having watched the best teams in that league, which, by the way, doesn't mean that i have not watched Udinese and Roma games.
In my opinion, the EPL is superior, largely due to the atmosphere in the games, and La Liga, due to it's attacking football and the large number of good players that are in it.
This would be a good time to pull out the statistics and check how many European Championships each league has brought home, and which clubs have won the International Cup (or whatever it's called these days) more often. That should settle this matter, once and for all.
Anyway, i think that Ronaldinho shouldn't even contemplate going to Italy, as he's bound to get a serious injury there.

You are off topic. It is supposed that we are here to discuss Ronaldinho's transfer. And suddenly, you left all the posts and you did comment on a post of mine which states that the Italian Serie A is the best. You think that EPL is the best, what is the problem then, it is just a matter of personal point of view which can't make you judge if I am biased to one league or not.
If I tell you that EPL is the best, so what will be your reaction? Will you think that I am not biased and I am someone who understand football.
The ridiculous thing here is that you say that people who think that Serie A is the best or one of the best are Italians...thanks for the joke :laugh:. Or people who haven't watched any league apart from Serie A, this makes me repeat what I did say; Despite watching EPL and La liga, I do prefer Serie A. It is a matter of own personal view.
At the beginning of your constructive post, you did say that its neither aggressive nor disrespectable, why?Because simply, you know that your post is aggressive and disrespectable and you did say in advance. How bright you are!!!

This means that millions of people, including you, are utterly deluded.
In the case of those millions, it's understandable, because they are most likely Italian.
World Cup winners from a squad that all played in this league. And that's as objective as this thread is gonna get.
Firstly, my comment wasn't offensive, aggressive or disrespectful in any way. If anyone found offense in it, i recommend they seek therapy.
Well, you did call anyone who thinks the Italian league is the best league deluded. Perhaps now that I disagree with your particular comments in this thread, I will declare you deluded. I hope you can see why that is not an offensive thing to say; I'm sure you will simply understand that it is a fact that you are deluded.
Actually, I think that you will instead see that such comments interfere with our ability to reach understanding amid such disagreements...
Sorry for the off topic-ness; now I will get back on topic.
I dislike the idea that one player is going to be some 'all important savior' to a team. I think that, as we saw in the World Cup, Ronaldinho-at-Barca is a very different player than Ronaldinho-alone or Ronaldinho-elsewhere. A great player's greatness lies in his relationship with his team, IMO, and so on that note I also hate to think that any champion would jump ship for money reasons... especially when they are already filthy rich. I know many do but it still earns disrespect from me...
Anyway I can't see some ridiculous 70M bid being anything but a huge waste of money on Milan's part. Clubs like Milan (great clubs) should focus on creating their own star players and working out their roles and relationships on the pitch..
Too big of a name, too much pressure, too much money. I don't think this sort of signing can work out well for Milan, and I wouldn't be surprised if it weakened Ronnie as a player as well.

I think that Dinho moving to Milan would be a really bad move, for both him and the club.
I think it's a smokescreen, for the following reasons:
1. Milan has Kaká already, and he and Ronaldinho have never worked well, to the best of my limited knowledge, when playing together at Brazil matches. Perhaps Ronaldinho could play a bit more forward than when at the Canarinha, but still I don't think it would work out really well.
2. You could drop Kaká too, but Kaká has been doing great at the club, and...
3. (...) there is no guarantee that Ronaldinho would ever adapt.
4. Given his price tag, and the previous point, the move is waaaay to risky.
5. Milan more likely needs a defense revamp and an all out striker. Ronaldinho hardly seems like the answer. And, fuck it, get rid of Dida, he's been too sloppy for too long now, and fucks up at critical moments.
Of course, it could turn out to be right, and with me looking stupid, but I really doubt it.
I just keep thinking of who we could get for £70m: an example being Amelia, Chivu, Barzagli (won't happen) and Iaquinta for about £40m. That would still leave £30m, if required, to buy a world class attacking midfielder who isn't Ronaldinho.

As i clearly stated, my calling him, and those millions that he refers to, deluded, was done in a joking manner. Just as his saying that it was the best league, followed by a smiley, i understood to be a joke.
Jesting aside, i think that they are WRONG, the Serie A is not the best. Would that be more appealing to you?
Anyway, delusion is a false belief or opinion. Since when is calling someone deluded, when they clearly are, an insult or derrogatory in any way?

I changed my mind - go for Ronaldinho :tongue:
70m on Dinho is ridiculous. Especially for a club like Milan, they don't need him, Kaka is their answer. If they plan on getting someone, get a good young defender. Anyway, I do not believe that article on the first page. If it's true, then it's the consequence from Milan after their loss to Inter. They think they've lost it all, that theý aren't good enough. That's wrong, Milan should bounce back with the team they have now, and not go looking for another player. AC can still mount a challenge, just improve on their gameplay.
But I was serious on getting a defender of a young age.

Well, this has moved into Milan territory now, and i'm not about to dignify your silly posts in here, or anywhere else, actually.
If we can get back to talking about present matters and put that insolence of the Ronaldinho thread which has now been merged into this one to one side:
Okay, so after our derby defeat we're hosting Anderlecht on Wednesday. The reaction in the second half once Ancelotti shook the team up was good and showed that 4-3-2-1 headed by Inzaghi is suicide. Of our current playing staff, only Gilardino can play at the front of such a formation and even then, the support from Seedorf and Kaka wasn't good enough. When Shevchenko used to play at the front of it, Kaka and Rui Costa made a point of alternating as his strike partner and it worked well.
We have to take the second half performance (bar the Ibrahimovic goal) and the reaction to conceding and use it to fight in our next few games. The title isn't an objective as far as I'm concerned as we're now too far behind but we can aim for a top three place and getting as far as possible in the CL.
Everything that has happened makes the January transfer window that much more important. Vincenzo Iaquinta appears to be the main target but Udinese are unlikely to sell and I hope we don't go for Francesco Tavano. Empoli claim that three big clubs in Italy want him and I would guess they are Inter, Roma (both of whom wanted him in the summer) and either us or Fiorentina. Despite that, I think he'd be best suited to Palermo. Doubtful whether they could fit him in around Amauri, Simplicio and Bresciano though.

Lazio really piss me off lately with their form(watched Catania-Lazio 3-1 and Lazio-Reggina 0-0 on TV),does Nesta really wants such move?He is not unreplacable as he is uncosistent,but we are really lacking in defence at the moment as well as attack...

Phew, this thread is pretty heated! That time of the month, eh?
As for Milan v Anderlecht, I am all set. I have my hoard of booze, pills and a loaded pistol in case the first two don't manage to drown out the misery... :unsure:
Seriously, if Anderlecht beat Milan tonight I will personally give birth to the winning goal scorer's next baby... with a big smile on my face. :happy:
As for Ronaldinho going to Milan... Barcelona wouldn't allow their talisman to leave unless they've lost the plot, certainly not to Real and I don't seriously think that Milan need a player of his type.
They need:
a) defenders to replace Maldini, Stam, Costacurta, Cafu and eventually Nesta (he's already in his 30s - I am soooo old :no: )
b) a proven goalscorer to replace Sheva (Toni, Suazo, Fred and Klose would be amongst my preferences).
c) A right winger... the next right fullback is unlikely to be as energetic as Cafu was at his prime ... haven't really thought of replacements as my personal favourites Diana and Joaquin have recently moved clubs.
Essentially: half a new first team squad... I can see a few barren years ahead for the Rossoneri, they've allowed their squad to slowly degenerate to a veterans team and have some serious rebuilding ahead. :(
We can't get a pure winger as we don't use wingers. The only person playing down the right flank at the moment is Cafu and the repalcement will need to be a wing-back. Jankulovski, Pancaro, Maldini and Serginho have all done the job well down the left over the last three years.
What about the new guy, Bonera?
Or is he more of a right back, than a wing back?

I've already come to the conclusion that booze isn't going to be enough. Halfway through the first half and we're 2-0 down. Milan are barely breaking a sweat. A glorified friendly. I wish we were playing 2 up front with Frutos and without bloody Hassan wasting space in midfield...
3-1 at the moment, a Kaka hat-trick :ohmy:
Joel, Bonera can play at right-back (or left-back at a stretch) but he's not really made for going forward as his strongest position is central defence - a bit like Simic (although he can't play at left-back at all).
EDIT: 4-1; Gilardino's first European goal for us!!!!!! :happy: (About time too! :ninja:)

I think so. Pizarro has nothing to give to Milan, besides he is not the style of player that Milan do need to have a big change in the attacking options and in the center midfield role.

Edit: So, I have to correct it now, I do not think that Claudio Pizzaro is a good player. He is mobile, skilled and also he scores lots of goals. What do you think?
I don't think that he is the answer to Milan's striker 'problems'. They need someone that would pick up the ball from deep, someone that is not afraid to go out wide to offer other forms of attack. Pizarro does not strike me to be that type of player.

02-11-2006, 14:06
At least, he is better than Oliviera, who still haven't found form, and Inzaghi, who has the same playing style as Gilardino.
I think you're being too harsh on Oliveira - he's a very good player and don't forget his sister has been kidnapped. He just needs time to settle and not to be used as a lone striker because that isn't how to use him.

To be honest, I didn't watch him playing with Real Betis a lot. But I'vewatched nearly all Milan games this season and he hasn't impressed me. Although, I'm waiting to see him when he finds form. Then I think I can have a full idea about him.
sorry rough school days haven't been on for a while...
KAKA SCORES A HAT-TRICK, IYF SWEEY LOL
too bad Kaka doesn't score 1 goal every game, I'd rather him do that instead. Anyways, I think Kaka has found his form again, but that 4-1 is just flukey, we still have major offense problem dont we?
The answer however, is NOT ronaldinho. I'd rather spend 70m for Henry, who is not for sale, but u know, arsenal can't resist money.

Can't resist money? Despite the fact that Chelsea made a larger bid for Henry a few years ago, which was also rejected?:rolleyes:
Henry would be a waste for Milan anyway, he's good for Arsenal because the entire team is built around him and he's treated as a god by the other players. I can't imagine him doing to well for a team where he'd be treated like just another player. He's too moody tbh.
i guess thats kind of true, considering how bad hes done for Team France most of the time.
All the signings we are linked to are horrible, but IMO, we can give fatty ronaldo another try, because hes proven to be able to score consistently despite his moodiness, and he can dribble. He is the closest thing i can think of to shevchenko other than henry. However, given his age, I'd only sign him if he is not so expensive. Anything over 20m is no good. Iaquita seems okay.

Henry will never leave Arsenal,even if he do nothing at the moment they will never get him out of the first team and he is happy with the way it is.
Casano made a scandal so they are putting him on the transfer list?
No one,and I mean NO ONE,who played for Real,even once,cannot play football again.If he was in Inter first then it becomes inevitable for him to lose all his skills,get off Ronaldo from that list.

Milan may be 14 points adrift of the leaders, but Carlo Ancelotti insists they can still challenge for the Scudetto.
“Last season we were 14 points off the top spot, just as we are now, yet we managed to battle until the final game for that title. You never can tell in football.”
Juventus seemed to be running away with the Serie A Championship last term only to suffer a poor run that allowed their rivals to catch them
The crisis of their forwards in recent weeks has been uppermost in Milan’s thoughts, especially with unsettled Real Madrid men Ronaldo and Antonio Cassano calling for a return to Italy.
“All players are useful and none are indispensable. On form, Ronaldo is an extraordinary player, as certain qualities do not disappear, they only get clouded over. However, if I did need a striker for the January transfer window – and I do not – then I’d ask for one who could play in all competitions.”
Both players are Cup-tied for the Champions League this season, even if they’ve had only 46 minutes each on the pitch.
To me, I do think that Milan are still capable of winning the Scudetto in condition that they cut their points bleeding directly from the next match. The season is still in the beginning.
The last time this stupid Scudetto talk happened, we'd just won our first three Serie A games - then look what happened. I wish all of them, including Ancelotti, would shut up about the Scudetto and concentrate on getting up the bloody table.

if our offense can continue producing, we could get pretty far in champions league, although winning it would be EXTREMELY hard. If we however, want to participate in next year's champions league, we better start performing in serie A too.
"We can win the Scudetto" - okay Ancelotti, so care to tell me why we're 1-0 down at Atalanta then?

Here we go again. Full-time: Atalanta 2 AC Milan 0.
I have nothing new to say.
The last time this stupid Scudetto talk happened, we'd just won our first three Serie A games - then look what happened. I wish all of them, including Ancelotti, would shut up about the Scudetto and concentrate on getting up the bloody table.

I think I have to stop arguing about that title thing. I think I am wrong...:(
Berlusconi, Galliani and Ancelotti - one of them must be responsible for the lack of investment and as Berlusconi wasn't directly involved until the summer, it is one of the other two.
The players don't have enough faith in Ancelotti and the squad is weak. I don't think any of us are really surprised as it has been coming rather blatantly for the last two years. This reminds me of the Oscar Washington Tabarez days. The title will be contested between Inter, Palermo and Roma. Fourth place? We can get it but I don't think we're strong enough.

I think you are very frustrated more than being pessimistic. And you have excuses for that frustration.
Regarding the faith in Ancelotti, I don't have faith in him as well. I think that he hasn't made anything special to Milan since the champions league final aganist us. Despite not being one of his fans due to his bad two seasons with Juve, he continued to gain my respect as Milan's coach. But now, I do not know what is happening really !!!!!

No,no,no 4-th place,neither 5-th or 6-th,this year will be horrible,how come we lost agian?Other clubs change the coach when the results are like that so is it time someone to realise it already?We played away and a draw would be more comfortable,but the players stop playing after a goal is conceaded.
Winning the CL,there is no other choice,atleast Kaka is showing good there(for a one-man-army,no teamwork),we need to get a pathetic club like Real Madrid though for the next round and when we beat them to increase the morale.No one said it is easy...
If we got Real - assuming we go through - Capello would pick us off. Close down Kaka and we're finished.

Controversial events in the first ten games:
Milan-Lazio: Inzaghi’s goal disallowed at 0-0.
Livorno-Milan: Ambrosini fouled in the area at 0-0, but penalty awarded.
Milan-Siena: Rinaudo commits a foul in the first half but no penalty awarded, then Pirlo’s goal is disallowed in the second half.
Sampdoria-Milan: Inzaghi is fouled in the area by Castellazzi at 0-0, but no penalty.
Milan-Palermo: Gilardino’s goal disallowed at 2-0 down.
Chievo-Milan: foul committed on Gilardino in the area at 0-0.
Atalanta-Milan: Bonera is felled by Tissone in the area, foul is not given. Gourcuff falls in the area after a clash with Donati, Pieri first calls the foul but then decides to call a foul against Milan, and the ball is already in the back of the net.
Ancelotti:
It was an ugly day for Milan, we feel ill-treated once again. After this summer's penalisation, it's continuing and now enough is enough. Pieri didn't see the penalty on Bonera, but he was right there close by. The episode concerning Gourcuff was very confusing when the ball flew into the net. It is not a good situation at the moment, we have to work harder at paying attention to these problems which we can resolve, however, the others have to ensure that games are refereed in a correct way.
There have been too many negative things over these last ten days. Another penalty wasn't given which could have changed the game at 0-0. I believe in this system, we have to have faith and hope. We have to get up the table. Is the problem to do with the head or legs? The referees.

I think it is partly the referees and partly ourselves. Yes, some people want to "damage" us because of Berlusconi and his politics - people don't like him - others because of the scandal business and the fact we didn't get relegated and overall our performances have generally been good but results haven't...but then the squad is stale, our play can be horrendously predictable and perhaps we should be good enough to overcome these sorts of things anyway.

I can't confirm anything about Berlusconi and his politics. But who are these people, may be another politicians or Moratti himself. However, the thing that Milan can blame themselves for is their performance. I know that they've partly performed well this season, but they should score. I watched the Derby and I thought that Milan started to find form since they were the better side. Anyhow, I think I have to watch today's match to judge fairly.
By the way, This was Ancelotti's post-match comment:
Carlo Ancelotti: “Coincidence is when something happens once or twice, but from the start of the season we’ve had too many refereeing errors go against us. I really hope it doesn’t repeat itself. What happens to the Rossoneri directors outside the field of play is obvious to everyone. I don’t know if they’ve got it in for us, but we were the only club not to receive a discount on the Calciopoli penalties.”
AC Milan transfers chief Ariedo Braida is this week in Brazil checking on potential transfer targets.
Braida will also spend time in Argentina as he adds to dossiers on a host of top, young South American talent.
High on Braida's list of targets is Gremio pair Lucas Pezzini Leiva and Evaldo Silva Santos.
Midfielder Leiva, 19, is expected to be sold by Gremio in January and is a confirmed target for Atletico Madrid. Defender Evaldo, meanwhile, comes off contract at the end of this season.
Another player in Milan's sights is Sao Paulo youngster Fabao.
At least we're starting to look at youngsters.
Hmmm trying to find another Kaka
Yep, and the club are taking it rather seriously too as they've all been talking about it in the last week.
Gattuso's knee injury - picked up in the Atalanta game where we had to play the last fifteen or so minutes with ten men as a result - will keep him out of action until January. Good news for Brocchi and Ambrosini...

I am very sorry for what happened to Gattuso "The DM Veteran". I wish him speedy recovery.
Without a doubt, Pirlo will suffer, as he'll miss his fighting machine partner. I think Pirlo's performance would be affected, but Pirlo would keep doing his role in Milan midfield without a change, simply because Ancelotti depends on him for making a link between the back line and the front line (mainly Kaka), therefore, I think Pirlo is not the only one that would be affected but the whole team, unless Ambrosini is in a good form.
Kerlon will be off to Inter by the looks of things - and let him go. I think he's one of the ones who will flop after being built up so much at a young age.

Half-time in our Coppa Italia Third Round First Leg match: AC Milan 0 Brescia 2 - even Serie B sides are getting in on the act.
Our starting line-up:
Kalac; Cafu, Bonera, Costacurta, Favalli; Lunati, Brocchi, Gourcuff; Seedorf; Ricardo Oliveira, Borriello.
Whilst not the world's strongest side, they are definitely strong enough to win at home to Brescia.
In other news, we are being linked with moves for Gonzalo Higuain, Rodrigo Palacio and Ciro Barusso (plays for Rimini and is wanted by Inter and Roma).
I think that Barusso is also wanted by Fiorentina.
We've won 4-2 :ohmy: (Simic 60, Brocchi 67, Inzaghi 78, Borriello 86; Serafini 34, Alfageme 37)
GhOsT, you mean Barusso ;) and you're right about Fiorentina.

He's meant to have bags of potential, a Ghanian despite his name and only 18 years old. I'm guessing they believe he'll turn into a Muntari or Essien with time.

Stories in Spain on Friday are suggesting that boss Frank Rijkaard could leave Barcelona for Milan in June.
The AS newspaper suggests that the Blaugrana Coach is ready to quit the Nou Camp given his strained relationship with sporting director Txiki Beguiristain and the constant presence of Johan Cruyff.
The sports daily goes on to suggest that Rijkaard, who played alongside current boss Carlo Ancelotti during their Milan days, may also bring Ronaldinho with him to the San Siro.
However, Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani last night insisted that Ancelotti would remain and virtually ruled out signing the Brazilian.
Meanwhile, CSKA Moscow midfielder Dudu is allegedly interested in a move to Milan and hopes to complete his dream switch next summer.
The 23-year-old could be an interesting addition to the squad, although it seems likely that CSKA will ask for a significant amount of money before selling.

As a Milan fan, what do you prefer? Ancelotti, he still has a lot to introduce to Milan OR Rijkaard for a new experience...

Kalac will be dumped at the end of the season.
I'd like to see Rijkaard come in but it is too easy to assume he'll do for us what he's done for Barcelona - that won't necessarily be the case.
I've heard a lot of things over the last few days:
-Rumours of Lippi taking over as coach - which also means we couldn't sign Massimo Oddo as his agent is Lippi's son.
-Ricardo Oliveira could be loaned to Sao Paulo.
-Dida, Zeljko Kalac, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Costacurta, Cafu and Serginho are all to leave the club this summer.
-Marco Amelia will be one of two goalkeepers to be signed in the summer along with two strikers - one being Vincenzo Iaquinta - and some defenders.
once again, i'd like to remind everyone that the Ronaldo deal is on again. Yes, Sweey, I know you are very very angry, but look on the bright side, Ronaldo is much more proven than Oliveira.
Di Natali wud probably be a good choice too though, he seems to be able to assist Gilardino, providing that link between Kaka and Gilardino.

I am reading really good news about our transfer situation lately,we are scouting around 10 players(youngster mostly,which is good) and Galliani said the fans deserve a present and he will buy a big name in January(he pointed its not Ronaldinho),I hope so for a bright future.
Ronaldo spends all his time injured; Oliveira is a good player and can do well for us if we give him a bit of time....something we can't afford but it isn't as bad as buying Ronaldo and watching him spend four months out injured.
I hope oliveira get back in form more, I've heard SO MANY rumor saying how he is going back to sao paolo.
I'm hearing those ones too. It is so that he is closer to the situation with his kidnapped sister.
As for the "fans deserve a big signing" we always deserved one. Surely January isn't the best time to make such a signing as the players we'd be after are all unavailable?
I also don't believe Ancelotti will stay beyond this season, Galliani is simply trying to support him in public to try and make the most of this season before they agree to part ways. To be honest, both last week and this week I've expected to find out that Ancelotti resigned or was sacked overnight and I've never expected it previously in his time with us.
I hear about Lippi coming to take over
Roma captain Francesco Totti is being linked with a sensational move to AC Milan in January.
Less than 24 hours after putting Milan to the sword, Totti was reportedly spotted visiting Milanello yesterday morning.
Last night, Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani again spoke of rewarding the fans with a big January signing: "The fans kept supporting the team, even when it was two goals down.
"It cannot be Ronaldinho, but for sure our tifosi deserve a great reward. If we can give the tifosi a big present, we will do it."
Can't see it happening but it would definitely improve the squad and our attacking play.

Totti can't leave Roma by any mean. Simply, because he is God in Roma. What is more, his team is in an excellent form now in both Italy and Europe. Also, he can't bet on the loyalty of Roma fans. I mean he doesn't know if he leaves, would they still consider him their forever legend or not?
Anyhow, Totti is a great player in any team and a huge addition to any squad.
Things continue to get worse:
AC Milan teammates Daniele Bonera and Yoann Gourcuff have fallen out.
Corriere dello Sport says the pair have physically clashed as the tension regarding their recent form slump spilled over.
The two are still not seeing eye-to-eye and it's reported Gourcuff is already considering his future at Milan and pondering a return home to France.
That being the case, Bonera can fuck off back to Parma as he's never going to be world class and that's fairly obvious. Gourcuff will be a far more important and talented player.

14-11-2006, 13:55
On contrary, Bonera was a good player in Parma and he hasn't taken his full chance in Milan yet. I know he is not as good as Oddo (A transfer target of Milan) but he may be find form if he plays regularly.
Bonera can't play well at right-back, he's like Simic in that he's not good at getting forward. He's a central defender but he lacks concentration which was my concern when we signed him. There is a good reason he isn't considered as good as Marco Materazzi for the national side. Andrea Barzagli is definitely a better central defender.

After another predictable failure to win - and I feel for Ricardo Oliveira who hit the woodwork twice more at Empoli - we've got a European game up soon. What a perfect opportunity to fuck up our Champions League campaign with two defeats and elimination. We're more than capable of it.
As for Oliveira, I wish the fans getting on his back would leave him alone. So he needs time to settle - at least he's playing for us unlike Shevchenko who didn't want to any longer. We were all lied to about why Shevchenko left and it was obvious at the time, otherwise he would simply come out with the "I still need to learn English for my family life" line when linked with a move back to us and the reports would end.
Nice to see that our defence yesterday - with a combined age of 143 - actually did well against Empoli's attack and allowed them very little room to work in.

Maldini said he will reatire after this season,but hopes to win CL for the 5-th time in his life,Ancelotti wants the same "We need to win in greece twice,against AEK and on the final".I hope so...
It worries me though. After three wins to open our Serie A campaign, Ancelotti and the players started talking about winning the Scudetto - then look what happened. Now they're doing it with the CL because we've got no chance in Serie A. What next? "We're going to win the Coppa Italia"? I'd rather we didn't, I don't rate it as a competition.
Nice, a 1-0 defeat at AEK Athens but yet we qualify - only we could lose to a club who have won only once before in the Champions League AND qualify for the knockout stage at the same time.
They need to get their fucking act together!
Oh and we hit the woodwork again :no:
Not only qualify for the knock-out stages, but win the group and get the second round home advantages. Strange night for Milan...who screwed me in the damn predictions :realmad:
If it is any consolation, we're going to get trounced in the knockout stages if we don't improve.
Thing is, I really wanted to draw Milan this year.
Would be an emotional and controversial match :blush:
But then again, Chelsea and Milan seem to have a good relationship, so maybe it is better we stay apart.
It'd be a good game if we were actually doing well but as it is Shevchenko would simply watch his new friends devour the remnants of the rotting squad he left behind.
Sweey one question, why exactly did Stefano Sorrentino not play for any other big clubs in Italy? I know he played for Lazio then Torino? It's a shame he just looks the keeper that could do well for a club like Milan. I don't know, the guy was brilliant tonight. Did you see his saves?
Also, Dida made a tremendous save somewhere in the second half, unfortunately he injured himself. WTF.

I think it is just one of those things where a goalkeeper gets picked up by a foreign side. Carlo Cudicini never played for Milan before about 50 combined appearances for lower division sides and a move to Chelsea. Not sure if you're aware, but Milan want to sign Sorrentino inJanuary and last night proved why.
I saw that Dida save, he started going one way, stretched his muscle and then had to fling himself upwards to stop Cesar making it 2-0. I was appalled by Bonera's defending in the second half when AEK should've made it 2-0.
From the official website and only available in Italian at the moment; Dida is out for two to three months (as long as there aren't complications in further tests to be carried out) after injuring himself when making a save late on against AEK Athens.
This season is going to be a total write-off - and who knows, we might end up in Serie B after all.
Il calciatore Nelson Dida, infortunatosi nel corso della partita AEK-Milan, è stato sottoposto ad accertamenti diagnostici e visite specialistiche che hanno evidenziato una lesione parziale del tendine quadricipitale sinistro.

I think Milan miss the life in Serie B. In fact, they haven't enjoyed it since the mid 80s. Or they might be missing their beloved rival. :tongue:
I play Pro Evo with various teams - and Milan buy Suazo in every season. I play Football Manager with various teams - and Milan buy Suazo yet again always.
I think they are trying to tell Milan something :tongue:
I signed him in FM07 to stop Juventus getting him - and how I am wishing I hadn't bothered. Iaquinta has destroyed Serie A since joining me :w00t
man, Milan might end in Serie B, how I fear that...
man, Milan might end in Serie B, how I fear that...

:erm: What do you mean? Boumsong is Bianconeri now.
You could alwayys take Silvestre from us. He could do you some use at the back alongside Boumsong. :ninja:
As Ahmedios said, Boumsong plays for Juventus. Silvestre is former Inter scum. Not good enough for what we're looking for either.
Unless we sign a world class striker who can link the midfield and the forwards, we are very doomed this season, and IS VERY LIKELY TO BE KICKED OUT OF CL NEXT YEAR, and possible relegation.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
We're being linked with a move for that shittest of goalkeepers, Matteo Sereni. We already have Kalac, we've had Taibi and Lehmann before - why do we want ANOTHER accident-prone goalkeeper? Past mistakes were bad enough. As was Dida in his early days and then during his slump a season or two ago.
We're also being linked with a January move for Francesco Tavano, a player I have never wanted at our club because I simply do not believe he is good enough - even more so now that he hasn't played this season.
---
Official line-ups:
Milan (4-3-1-2): Kalac; Bonera, Simic, Maldini, Jankulovski; Brocchi, Pirlo, Gourcuff; Kakà; Gilardino, Inzaghi.
Messina (4-5-1): Storari; Zoro, Iuliano, Rea, Parisi; Lavecchia, De Vezze, Cordova, Coppola, Masiello; Riganò.
I think Ancelotti knows when we're playing live on British TV as he never starts Oliveira in such matches - which pisses me off.
Rigano to score, Messina to earn at least a draw.
Sweey, now is a good time to say " I'd rather get fatty ronaldo"
yea, we are SO screwed.
A win! Don't get many of these at the moment, but as usual I'm not happy and we're going to analyse why:
Kalac - Saved a shot directly at him, slipped when Rigano had Messina's best chance and was fortunate that, somehow, Rigano headed wide. Was helplessly lost when Cordova's dangerous free-kick flashed wide of the post. 4
Bonera - Got forward well but wasn't particularly effective with his crossing. Did a decent job defensively but wasn't really tested. 5.5
Simic - Caught out once or twice on crosses but otherwise had a good game and kept things tight at the back. 6
Maldini - Scored the winner with a brilliant header and did very well in defence bar one mistake which allowed Rigano a chance to score which he somehow missed. 6.5
Jankulovski - Didn't do anything spectacular but did his job well both defensively and offensively, providing plenty of support for Gourcuff down the left. 6
Pirlo - Nothing spectacular but some decent tackling and his customary probing passes. 6
Gourcuff - Was easily the best player on the pitch for the first half-hour, completely unfazed and made plenty of unpredictable passes to confuse the Messina defence. 7
Brocchi - Fought hard and didn't do anything wrong. Played the Gattuso role which he is so perfect for. 6.5
Kaka - Anonymous in the first half but was the star in the second, finding lots of space and somehow failing to beat the excellent Marco Storari in Messina's goal. Rating reduced by his inability to score one, let alone the two or three he really should have had. Hit the frame of the goal too. 7.5
Inzaghi - Had lots of shots - all wayward. Actually made me laugh with one of his shots as he caught it at the completely wrong time and sent it off towards the corner flag. Not a good night for him. 5
Gilardino - Didn't score but laid off plenty of headers for Inzaghi and Kaka. Floated out to the channels occasionally to provide support to the midfield and crosses for Inzaghi. Very unselfish and linked up well with Kaka and Gourcuff. 7
Substitutes:
Nesta - Very nearly gave away a penalty for shirt pulling but realised what he was doing and let go. Relatively untested aside from that and did a decent job. 6
Seedorf - Did his job quietly when introduced for Inzaghi. 6
Borriello - Didn't have a chance to impress - or disappoint. 5.5

Congratulations Milan. I haven't congratulated you , I think, 2 months ago. :tongue:. I haven't watched the match yet. I'm going to watch it tomorrow.
Despite being a Legendary Milanist, he is one of the most respected players ever; Paolo Maldini. Hope no any Juve fan read this post :D, I'm happy because he scored. :happy:
It was a great goal - and he nearly had an even more spectacular second from a corner late in the second half.
For those who did watch the match tonight, Paolo's son Christian is an attacking midfielder with the Milan under-13(?) side and is, according to what we were told, breaking goalscoring records.
wow, we are back to the disappointing wins, but at least its better than disappointing losses.
A win is always better. Cagliari away next weekend which isn't going to be easy. We need to shut down Suazo who hasn't hit top form yet.
---
Don't really want to go into it because some twat will come along with disparaging remarks, but I sincerely hope there is nothing seriously wrong with our president after what happened yesterday. As a club we couldn't be in better hands than his.
our midfield and strikers still don't "connect", what is with this?
With Inzaghi shooting like he was we were always going to struggle. Such a shame Oliveira wasn't introduced although his inability to lead the line was the cause of it.
---
Starting line-up for tonight's Coppa Italia second leg match at Brescia:
Kalac (:huh:); Bonera, Simic, Kaladze, Antonelli (:D); Brocchi, Pirlo, Jankulovski; Gourcuff; Ricardo Oliveira, Borriello.
oliviera scored, how nice.
Hopefully he's turned the corner now. Gourcuff had an excellent game.

News (I consider them rumours more than being news):
-AC Milan target Barcelona pair Zambrotta, Xavi-
-Chelsea ready to send Shevchenko away on-loan, to Milan-
For the first one, I think that Milan would like to land Zambrotta urgently since the previous summer. I can believe this one due to many reasons including Zambrotta's own desire to return to Italy and also for not being the man that we always see, I mean he hasn't reached his form since he left Juventus.
About Xavi, I think this is a rumour.
Shevchenko, we've explained this dozens of time and now I've come to another conclusion; maybe Mourinho let Shevchenko joins Milan after around one month, but this is not the point. Shevchenko is actually a legend and an inspiation for his ex Milan teammates for seven years, but he decided to leave himself and of course he is free to do. But it is all related to the club that made him not the opposite, even if Milan are desperate to have a world class striker. But sorry not Shevchenko. This is my opinion, if we consider that the negotiation between Milan and Chelsea isn't just a rumour.
By the way, this is a principle of mine for general not for such a situation.
Seen these recently.
Zambrotta is the most likely, I don't see how we have any chance to Xavi although I think he'd do well. Shevchenko won't be coming back. Doesn't solve our problems, only masks them.
I dunno, I wudn't mind Shev coming back.
But how would it affect the rest of the team? And how does it genuinely solve our problem when we only have him for one season and will ignore our striking problems - assuming he picks up from where he left off. The problem is we've ignored problems for far too long and need to fix them.
I really hope these rumours about Zammy and Xavi aren't true. With every game Zambrotta seems to be adjusting better and we are seeing the true Zambrotta. You can take Belletti if you want, even better take Oleguer :)

Belletti and Olegeur aren't the types of the players Milan do need. Both of them have never convinced me at all. But if you see them average or above average, so this maybe related to the league where they play in. I mean that the Serie A needs better defenders. When it comes to defending in Italy, so we are talking about the world best defenders.
I really hope these rumours about Zammy and Xavi aren't true. With every game Zambrotta seems to be adjusting better and we are seeing the true Zambrotta. You can take Belletti if you want, even better take Oleguer :)
Thanks for the offer :erm: :tongue:

it doesn't solve anything long term, but having shev back may gain us a spot in UEFA CL next year, we can figure out the problem in the summer.
I'm not saying problem solved, I'm saying we can have a temporary break from all the lack of score for now.
But we're assuming he'll come back and score. I'm not so sure he would/will.
I heard that real is on the pursuit for kaka again...Milan better not give in. The last thing we need while trying to rebuild the team is lose another key young player.
He insists he won't leave, but then he'd have to be a twat to say "Yeah, I'm actually going".
We want Montella on loan from Roma in January and he's a player we've been admiring for around five years.
---
Squad for tomorrow's visit to Cagliari (which involves somr surprises):
Goalkeepers Kalac, Fiori, Facchin
Defenders Antonelli, Bonera, Darmian, Kaladze, Maldini, Jankulovski, Simic.
Midfielders Brocchi, Gourcuff, Lunati, Pirlo, Seedorf.
Forwards Aubameyang, Borriello, Gilardino, Inzaghi, Ricardo Oliveira.
Five youth team players in the group of 20. We are without Dida, Cafu, Costacurta, Favalli, Nesta, Serginho, Simic, Ambrosini, Gattuso and Kaka :no:
To be honest, I'd rather have Montella over shevchenko in current situation. Shevchenko would make a bad impact for the team, and he is no longer the leader that left ac milan, he wudn't be or play the same if he comes back so soon. He is gone, stay gone for at least 2 years to consider coming back.
and yeah, our team looks weak for cagliari, I dunno whats gotten into Ancelotti's head, hopefully Rikjaard will make an impact next season.
Looking at our goalkeepers, WOW, disappointing, maybe we should buy Cudincini or something from Chelsea.
I'd love us to sign Amelia as I think he's pretty much our best option (Buffon would cost too much and Juventus would replace him with Amelia if they allowed us to sign him).
Antonelli is considered "the next Maldini" by people at the club but I'd rather not comment.
---
A.C. Milan announce that Alessandro Nesta will have an operation to his left shoulder on Monday. Serginho will have a operation to his spinal column on Tuesday.
Serginho may never play again and Nesta is out for between two and three months.
Another winless game for Milan, at least we scored 2 goals...
You can tell we're desperate due to the injuries - for the first time in years we played a 4-4-2. Good that we scored two goals (even Borriello netted :shocking:) but Suazo was all over us and we couldn't contain him.
Unfortunately, Chievo won 2-0 at Livorno and have moved within two points of us while Fiorentina won as well to tighten things up at the bottom.

Another great news,Brocchi got injuried too,now we have 10...:lol:.I watched the match and I can say we have nothing for to blame against the referee,we failed because we did,not because someone forced us to conceade 2 goals.Pirlo really didnt deserved a red card in my eyes,but its a tackle from behind...
On 5-th December is the first match in my life in which I want Milan to lose,sorry about that,but we are qualified and I really want Lille to get trough(I keep a little place in my heart and for them,but still love Milan far greater).After all I cant see us winning with so many injuries,bad morale and poor desicions so dont take on me for that.
Suazo showed his superiority,by moving between 3 defenders and running past them,so sign him in January Carlo,not Ronaldo...
UGH I WANT MY 100 CASH BACK, DAMNIT FOR TYING AGAIN.
anyways, We are really not going to get into CL next year, because our horrible performance.
Suazo is fucking awesome, they would just knock it through your defence and he would run onto it, he is bloody fast, the only problem I see with him is his goal scoring ability, don't get me wrong he can score goals, but his shooting technique does look abit odd.
You're right there Rafa. He's an unorthodox player like George Weah was. The worst thing about Suazo doing so well against us - apart from the fact we wanted to sign him - is that he's had a fairly poor season up until yesterday.

Small clubs get heated against big ones,so thats why they played well overall.
I see Di Natale is main target for January?!He is good,but I think this is not the time for him,maybe just rumours,there are too many these days.
Yaohan-100$ ??? You are maybe too much of a fan :tongue: if you understand me.If we dont get in CL Kaka will leave,I assure you,so we shall do our best for 4-th place.
Yo has anyone heard about the rumor that Inter is actually VERY involved in match fixing but the phone scandal didn't catch them, the phone scandal was actually a very small part that is being revealed. I didn't find source, hopefully Sweey can go out there and find a source, then we'll have something to talk about to the Inter fans.
I found a source, but it is not in english, so not a good one...

If 3 or 4 teams were involved in that scandal it is my opinion that alot more if not all of them were, not the players or the managers but the owners and the officials and the Italian FA...
Could someone kindly give me the line-up for the game against Lille? :)
They won't release it until just before the game but it is supposed to be a very experimental (weak) side.
Sweey, will Milan try and make a move for Suazo in January? He would be a good signing for you, you need him I reckon.
Gilardinho I don't rate, just doesn't seem to be able to get involved in the game, after watching your game against Caligiri, Inzaghi is getting on abit only has 1 or 2 years left in him I reckon, also Oliviera doesn't seem suited to the Italian game.
I've been majorly impressed with Gilardino in recent weeks. Although he's not scored much he has worked very hard to link our play together.
Inzaghi seems to finally be losing his edge and Oliveira has been very unlucky - his sister has been kidnapped and he's hit the frame of the goal twice - and needs time to settle in. Borriello I simply don't consider good enough to play for us despite his impressive-sounding goal against Cagliari.
Our striking targets in January are Suazo - who has finally said he's interested in a move - and Di Natale which tells a story. I don't think Di Natale has the ability to represent one of the big three and I think it is an indication of how desperate we are. Palermo's Di Michele would be a far superior option. Suazo would be an excellent move and was my second choice after Carlos Tevez during the summer. I doubt Cagliari would be willing to sell Suazo which obviously makes things difficult.
I saw Borriello goal it was ok just flicked/volleyed it over his shoulder, he couldn't do it again if he tried, he is rather shit, why don't you sell him? Try and get abit of money for him
He's not worth much and as a fourth-choice striker who won't play much, he won't complain as quickly as others would. I can't believe he actually believes he could earn a regular place in the starting line-up.
I was shocked when he scored, and also have Milan been that bad all season? They weren't too bad but really for a top 4 team should be beating teams like Caligiri.
Generally our play has been fairly decent but we haven't had a cutting edge in attack.
Ahh right. I guess you would miss Kaka alot, Seedorf isn't bad but Kaka is much better, also he would help out the teams attack with his playmaking
We would definitely miss Kaka. Seedorf is alright but as you may have seen on the weekend, he goes through a run of bad decisions and poor play which cost us dearly in midfield. Gourcuff has a bundle of potential but we need to nurture him, not drop him in at the deep end. I'm glad he's getting regular playing time - and doing well with it.
Gourcuff is really impressing me, plays very well, hopefully Chelsea don't start sniffing around :no:
You know both they and Real Madrid will, just give it time. The way things are going Liverpool might join the club.
True but Liverpool and Madrid don't buy talent to rotten away ;)
Gourcuff would fit in well with Sissoko, Pennant, Gonzalez, all good midfield prospects :tongue:
We've got good midfield prospects...somewhere on the planet :erm:
:laugh:
Milan need to keep hold of Gourcuff and Kaka, as once Milan build up a squad those 2 will be very important for a drive for Serie A.
If we could get our hands on Rimini's Ciro Barusso he'd serve as a long-term replacement for Gattuso who still has two to four years left with us. That would sort the midfield out and the attack doesn't need too much work done to it, Suazo or Di Michele alongside what we already have would be fine in my view.
With all that done, we then require a goalkeeper (hopefully Amelia or Buffon, both of whom are targets) and then a new defence (except for Kaladze and Jankulovski). Nesta needs replacing soon and is become too injury-prone, Bonera isn't up to the standard and Simic doesn't convince me.
So what defenders are your prefered choices?
The ones that spring immediately to mind are Christian Chivu, Manuel Pasqual, Andrea Barzagli (he'll move to Juventus), Massimo Oddo and Ilsinho (don't know much about him but he's supposed to be a poor man's Cicinho according to TochaMan! so I'd be happy with that).
We've shown interest in Mexes who I don't like or trust, and Mandelli (Chievo Verona) who I think is just average. Cesare Bovo wouldn't be a bad shout although he's barely played all season. I liked him during his Roma stint last season.
All of them are tough to get hold of, even the two I don't want.
According to skysports.com, Milan are interested in Nicklas Bendtner...
Any truth?
I've heard it but not from a reliable source as yet so I have my doubts until that changes.
Squad for Lille:
Goalkeepers Kalac, Fiori, Facchin
Defenders Antonelli, Bonera, Kaladze, Maldini, Jankulovski, Simic
Midfielders Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gourcuff, Kakà, Pirlo, Seedorf
Forwards Borriello, Gilardino, Inzaghi, Ricardo Oliveira.
Not quite as weak as we were led to believe.
yo chivu would be a perfect replacement for maldini, with the exception that he is injured all the time.
Official line-ups:
(4-4-2): Kalac; Bonera, Simic, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Gourcuff, Brocchi, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Inzaghi, Borriello
Lille (4-4-1-1): Malicki; Chalmé, Plestan, Tavlaridis, Tafforeau; Keita, Makoun, Bodmer, Cabaye; Debuchy; Odemwingie
Hmm.
Oh look we lost 2-0. Never could have predicted that.

Nice of you to let Lille through :w00t
Yes we're still through but only to get hammered in the second round unless we sort the team out - fast. We were without lots of key injured players and fielded a weakened team anyway but we've struggled in the group and that's bad news.
Do you think you would of got through if you were in a tougher group? After seeing tonights performance from you guys, I kind of hope we get you in the next round. Lots of whistles after the game from your fans. Rightly so.

In fairness we had at least seven players out injured BUT I think we are playing terribly at the moment and can't get any sort of consistency. If we'd had a tougher group we'd have gone out. Every single possible opponent scares the hell out of me because we're not doing well, confidence is low, morale is low and it isn't even a surprise. This has been coming for years.
Reaction:
“We lost in the worst possible way; on home turf when playing badly. It’s a habit we must not get into. The players know the way I feel about this and I expect an immediate reaction. I think I have an excellent rapport with the squad and understand their difficulties, but it’s also important for everyone to act in a more altruistic manner. If Milan are what we saw tonight, then it’s total darkness, as we were awful.” - Carlo Ancelotti
We get either Barcelona, Celtic, Porto, PSV Eindhoven or Real Madrid in the next round.
and it is likely we lose, don't worry, it just shows that, WE NEED TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY REBUILDING OUR TEAM.
I started a new master league, without classic players, and I'm trying to rebuild to team on my game lol.
The whispers around the Milan camp are increasing.
Berlusconi is ready to replace Ancelotti with Lippi - before the end of the season - is one of them.
Ancelotti himself is fed up of the attitude some of the players are showing and says he won't be nice to them any longer if they don't start performing well.
The newspapers say we're after Oddo, Zambrotta, Fernando Torres (WHY!) and Shevchenko.
I've been wondering over the last week...if Sacchi hadn't taken over in 1996/97 for a short time and caused problems with Christian Panucci, thereby forcing his move to Real Madrid, I think he'd still be at the club. He'd have played at right-back all these years. We'd have another Milan legend on our hands and we'd have little problem at right-back. He still plays superbly for Roma and although he has a bit of an attitude problem, he's generally okay. The decision to bring Sacchi back was an awful one even before he'd taken charge of a match - and that first match he took charge of was an absolute disaster.
Is Oddo any good though? I thought he was utter shit?
Who you playing this week in the league?
We're at home to Torino tomorrow afternoon which will hopefully be shown live over here...depends on which game Setanta Sports decide to televise.
Oddo is good at going forward and taking set pieces. I'm not entirely convinced by his defensive ability but then Cafu can't defend particularly well so that's nothing new to the team.
Well anything is better then having a 37 year old that can't run, surely? :huh:
Our Brazilian grandfather should be back this weekend. He can run, but only forwards. When he has to go back he tends to walk or jog more often than not.
LOL, funny one, yeah cafu isn't that great at defending, I'm on my 1st season, and summer transfer i didn't renew Cafu, and simply got Zambrotta, sure costed me a bunch, BUT ITS WORTH IT.
Sweey check out my master league milan on first season
Starting 11
Buffon (LOL!!!)
Nesta
Maldini(hes old, half the time its Chivu)
hopefully Zambrotta, but right now is Coloccini
Mathieu (sometimes I put Chivu)
Pirlo
Gattuso
C.Ronaldo (horrible choice in real life, but its a game, otherwise i'd stay with Seedorf)
Kaka
Tevez (one can only dream, eh?)
Gilardino (solid striker with tevez connecting him, 24 goals in my season)
:laugh: nice team.
I've actually signed Buffon in my Master League too...couldn't get Zambrotta so have instead gone with classic players...Baresi, Van Basten, Savicevic, Lentini, Conti, Baggio and Weah. The good old days....
Jake Small
09-12-2006, 19:56
Not really a subject for this thread, but IMO C Ronaldo has been pretty spectacular so far this season (in real life) :D Most any team would kill for that kid methinks.
I'd hate having such a personality at Milan. I think Berlusconi likes his style of play but as we don't use wingers there is no point in us signing him.
Jake Small
09-12-2006, 20:19
I've wondered about that by the way: when was the last time Milan did use wingers? And is that some sort of a more philosophical decision or something (like Holland and 4-3-3's)... is it believed to be an inferior style or is there another reason? (maybe Ancelotti is just not comfortable with the style?)
It is Ancelotti. During the 1990s we were a strict 4-4-2 club after the system brought in by Arrigo Sacchi. We didn't have world class wingers (except for Dejan Savicevic) but Giovanni Stroppa, Paolo Di Canio, Gianluigi Lentini, Roberto Donadoni, Andres Guglielminpietro and Ibrahim Ba were all players who played on the wings for us.
We first moved away from conventional wingers when Alberto Zaccheroni joined the club and employed a 4-3-3 system. Ancelotti's system scrapped them in order to find a place for Andrea Pirlo whose career was going down the pan as a Totti-style playmaker behind two strikers. He was used to having time on the ball and controlling the tempo at under-21 level and looked as though he'd become a lost talent, someone who could only do it for smaller Italian clubs - like Domenico Morfeo became.
off topic again....
Instead of getting zambrotta, who is expensive and going downhill for me this season, I got cannavro, who is surprisingly cheaper, so now i moved Maldini to the right back lol. Also I picked up PJS from Man U and use him as a backup to Gattuso (their styles are very similar except gattuso is more defensive, park is more offensive)
edit: lol, love the old days Sweey, by the way i turned off classic players because CPU teams always use them to overstack their team, which kind of ruins the game, because talent is too concentrated.
C.Ronaldo is talented, but again, he is a winger, who doesn't fit our style of play, but I guess we could use one (I developed a new formation). The most important thing is, we already got Inzaghi who is a diver, we dont need another one who is even worse (in terms of skill) at diving. Also, we are facing teamwork problem in terms that players dont pass good, Kaka can't pass to gilardino for numerous reasons, C.Ronaldo would be a lot worse than kaka.
Man, Cannavaro, Maldini (who willl retire next season), and Nesta on the same team, what a team lol.

Backed up by Buffon I sincerely hope you aren't conceding any goals!
only conceded 2 goals in the whole season, 5 goals in the season if you count the games I cheated.

Thank you, usually I prefer to watch :mellow:
holyfuck our milan team is fucked beyond repair, i predict a 5 year slump.
This is what you get for not doing any maintainence on your team regularily during summer transfers ancelotti! ESPECIALLY RUINING THE TEAMS CHEMISTRY BY NOT FINDING SOMEONE GOOD ENOUGH TO REPLACE SHEVCHENKO.
also, one could speculate that we are having a bad season BECAUSE EVERYONE IS ON THEIR LAST YEAR OF THEIR CONTRACT. HOW DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO PLAY WELL?!!!!
yup, i lost more money. back to my cannavaro, maldini, nesta:P
just a question Sweey, for my master league (off topic), should I put cannavaro on the SB instead? sometiems, i have a problem with him not winning headers, cus of his height.
I'd have thought Cannavaro's high jumping ability would counter his height problem. Of the three, I'd move Nesta or Maldini to SB sooner than him but you know how your team are playing and what the problems are so trust your instincts.
Sweey, do you see the possibility of Ancellotti being sacked by the end of this season? (you'd notice my improved spelling due to Firefox 2.0)
:lol: @ spelling comment
To be honest, every weekend I'm expecting to hear of a late night Sunday meeting between him and Berlusconi where he is relieved of his duties.
