To summarize: we miss the pirlo he was. He's still pretty good, but if you put him among average players (most juventus football players are just average) he looks amazing.

Compare it to messi, he seems to be the best, because there are no more top midfielders / defenders like in Ronaldo's, Cruijffs or Pele's time.
Pirlo looks good on Juventus because he is surrounded by players who run and run and run like maniacs. Our midfield of (ambro, Seedorf, Van Bommel, Nocerino) offers no defensive cover for Pirlo.

I agree with that. Pirlo's talent is beyond argument, but still, if a coach decides that he is no longer in his plan, it is win-win that he leaves. Pirlo benefits from this move, Jubentus does, Italy NT does too. In all honesty, Milan does not terribly regret it either. The only regret for Milan is that Jube benefits, IMHO. I have always hoped that whoever left Milan would fail miserably, like Shevchenko and Kaka. Big Grin
According to Milannews.it :

Maxi Lopez is a Milan Player

first, is it confirmed?

second, if it is true, it may not be too bad either. it probably just mean that Pippo is leaving for sure. I don't believe that the choice is between Tevez and Lopez.

and galliani will tell you that Lopez has won Champions League. Big Grin
MilanNews: Maxi Lopez, is leaving in these minutes from Catania airport to land at Malpensa airport and head for Via Turati to sign with the Rossoneri.

Gianluca Di Marzio: Maxi Lopez is still in Catania, waiting for tomorrow's meeting between
Lomonaco and Galliani to know if he is signing for Milan or not
shit. we dont need freaking catania sub.
bye bye superpippo... I will miss you. ;( Wo knows.... Lopez might surprise us.. I am not in favour of another striker signing but I'd choose him over tevez anyday

Tevez has also won the Champions League. Galliani can't lose... He'll sign a real champion either way. Devilol

it is not a forum secret that I am fully against a tevez signing. I believe that hye might bring too much ego to the dressing room, something we cannot have with more stars in the team already. No, not tevez thank you. I still think that we should invest more in midfield.
