id rather wait 1-2 years and maybe one of the current defenders shine by then and get the experience he needs to join us... right now i cannot think of anyone other than ayala, puyol, thuram and canna that would be good buys but all are unlikely and besides i dont think u can find room for any of them with stam, nesta, and maldini playing

i think with the team having that rest.. and with gattuso playin the game of his life (like he did in old trafford) liverpool would have no chance vs our defence

I think Grande-Milan-DK hit the nail on the head by saying Milan don't need young defenders, but experience and proven quality.

Milan's defense revamp plan revealed

Written by Tang Chi-Fai

AC Milan (SW)

MILAN, May 18 (SW) - Samuel, Jankulovski, Cassetti, Miguel, Kuffour, Gamberini and Marco Motta are all on AC Milan's long term list to revamp their defense in the next few seasons.

Nesta (29), Stam (33), Pancaro (34), Cafu (35), Maldini (36), and Costacurta (39) ageing rapidly, Milan face dramatic changes as far as their defense is concerned. It is understood that they already have a shopping list in order to revamp the defense line, starting with Czech star Marek Jankulovski (28), from Udinese.

The player, who fractured his left ankle, has personally admitted he will play as left back at Milan next season. At right back, with Dario Simic potentially off to Everton, the Rossoneri have identified 2 possible sucessors: Marco Cassetti, almost 28, from Lecce and Portuguese international Luis Miguel Brito Garcia Monteiro, aka Miguel, from Benfica (25), who shone during Portugal's journey to semi-final in EURO 2004.

Milan's Sporting Director Ariedo Braida has allegedly flown to Portugal several times this season to scout him.

19-year-old Marco Motta of Atlanta is yet another name on the list. The Azzurrini, whose playing style is compared to Gianluca Zambrotta's, could be comfortably slotted in left back or right back position. It is however claimed that rivals Internazionale would see him as the successor of local hero Javier Zanetti.

For center back positions, Real Madrid player Walter Adrian Samuel has topped Milan's wanted list. But the Rossoneri are likley not to rush in this summer, the Nesta-Maldini-Stam partnership likely to remain strong enough next term.

However, Milan will be happy to bring in a player to replace Alessandro Costacurta, as the 4th center back. Samuel Kuffour, who will leave Bayern Munich on a 'Bosman' in the summer, has emerged as the perfect choice, with Inter Milan once again in competition for his services.

The last name mentioned is Alessandro Gamberini. The 23-year-old Bologna player, who plays in a left back position, has improved a lot this season.
