Milan Management

[ACMILAN1983]

Yeah, pretty much agree with everything you say. There's significant limitations to the group. I think you list Ely under the wrong group, I think he's got the ability to potentially be a starter (in the same vain as Calabria or Romagnoli, even if not as talented), but right now we're just flushing his career down the toilet.

In all fairness, most of the guys in that list have the ability to do more, but they've fallen from grace so far it's unbelievable. Part of the reason I think that's happened is because like Bonaventura, Bertolacci etc, they aren't the players a club like Milan should be pointing to for leading the club. That's a big worry for me, that in the not too distant future, we'll see conversations about Antonelli and Bonaventura in the same vain we hear about Mexes and Montolivo.

Bacca and Diego Lopez would probably get in most teams today, I expect they could also suffer a similar fate as things stand. I don't see them as leaders either, their positions also make it difficult for them to dominate in matches. Diego Lopez has come under more scrutiny in recent weeks and Bacca's been questioned more too. If things don't improve, these guys will struggle to come out unscathed.

For me, it still partly (a big part mind) comes down to needing people like Maldini or Albertini back in the club. At the very least, having those people who have been through it as players and have experienced first hand the pressures and expectations the players face will provide the sense of security and knowledge, as support
