Your fear

[kris]

As for all discussions about what will happen in the off-season, what would you fear most that Milan could do? buying a player you don't rate? Not making a change where you think it is needed? Bringing in Souness as manager? ;) Preferable if you put out things that actually could happen...

for me:

1. Keep Cafu. He have been great for us, but I believe he have lost motivation and together with his physical shape I feel that with keeping him we will end up with the same problems on right back as we had this season. Get a new player here.

2. Buy Materazzi. Really please no!!!! Rumours are there, he is not needed in Inter... Still we can't do this can we?

[hottie]

Hope wee dont keep cafu,maldini,gatuso.
Hope wee dont buy any more expired players.
Hope that anceloti doesent leave.

[Stezagud]

Bringing in Souness as manager?

A manager so bad he makes Glenn Roeder look like a tactical genius.


The thing i fear most is picking up a paper in late August and seeing the headline

Galliani: "Who cares how old they are? the defence is fine as it is !" :eek:

[Milan_Mad]

Letting go of Carlo to soon, Buying Zebina

[Billy_Montreal]

Hope wee dont keep cafu,maldini,gatuso.
.

Hope they don't listen to your suggestions :yawn:

[SANT]

Carlo deserves to stay, but I wouldn't be surprised if he left... either to take on a team like Real Madrid, or Roma, etc. And Milan brought in either Van Basten, Donadoni or promote Tassotti.

My fear would be if we were surprised by a different coach than the 3 prospects above.

About players:

I'd be dissapointed if Gattuso left. The club would make him go, he'd go only if the wanted to. I hope he plays at Milan most of his carreer, and then back to the UK to finish it, but just when he's like 34 years old or so...

If the new defenders didn't adapt....
We will surely get more than just 1... and I pray to God we don't get Materazzi...
too much of an Inter symbol, too much of a bad player, period.

If Paolo Maldini didn't return...
I hope his knee can heal properly... I'd rather know he'll be out this entire month, but then back to normal, than see him struggle on and off...

If Billy didn't get a farewell like he deserves...
We know this is his last season, so he should be honored and recognized as an institution... he's a symbol, an icon... and deserves something the club has not done for Albertini to this date...

[Warro Bantan]

My single greatest fear for the off season would be the headlines that read:

Milan to sell Shevchenko to Chelsea for 200Gazzillion pounds! Ronaldo(or insert any other name here) targeted as replacement

[SANT]

ouch, forgot about that one... you're right...

[ukrainian_CA]

ouch, forgot about that one... you're right...

There are things even worse than losing Sheva to Chelsea...
I do not dare write here about them.
With god's willingless Sheva will play well for many more years and
he will do so with AC Milan and Ukraine.

[mrki]

1. Carlo staying, buying Zebina
2. buying Emre

Agree. Gattusso has clout, not only physical, but motivational as well. Gattusso is an institution, per se. A hypothetical scenario is that Maldini retires, followed by Rino's sale to Man Utd. No leaders left. Look at Arsenal, when Vieira left, structure and leadership did as well. Veterans like Bergkamp, Pires, Cygan can't muster any direction. I fear the same predicament at Milan, as Shevchenko and Ambro are decent short term leaders, but long term leadership needs someone who has been primed for the captain's role. Forza Gattusso.

[mrki]

and Materazzi, I almost forgot

[hitmannq8]

prolly buying materazzi is the biggest fear for me.. maybe also spending alot on torres

[GRE-NO-LI]

Emre? HELLS NO!

[Acmir^]

my biigest fear would be buying Cris for 20 mil pounds and selling Sheva

[sam_3]

this might sound stupid cuz he is retiring after next season, but my biggest fear is paolo retiring this summer instead of next summer.

[Billy_Montreal]

Only thing I fear is Keyzer Soze

[Acmir^]

Only thing I fear is Keyzer Soze


buahahahahaha Keyzer Soze you're crazy man i can't stop laughing :haha:

[SANT]

what's Keyzer Soze???

[Reza]

Character from the movie Usual Suspects.

I think I agree with most that my fear is just signing too many temporary players who have to replaced in a couple of seasons at best.

[zlatanov]

what's Keyzer Soze???
Keyser Soze - the cold-hearted and feared crime boss from "The Usual Suspects" - one crazy but very nice movie :D, a true crime bestseller, IMO.

[Giovanni]

I fear a possible return of Laursen the most :sun:

[Reza]

Not RJ's return? :D

[Giovanni]

Not RJ's return? :D
or the possible refreshment of our aging defence with the signing of free agent Pietro Vierchowod :w221: :nervous:

['M']

Why fear? Milan rule !

Seriously, I fear the day Maldini retires, for he has been such a great captain and player for Milan !

Other fear is losing key players, but I hope the board will flush away that fear... :D

Good one, man... along with Attilio Lombardo

[Ördöglány]

Materazzi, RJ, Zebina, Laursen......guys I hope our management won't use this as a source of ideas ;)
I wouldn't like to see these fellows in rossonero ever (or again, in the case of RJ and Laursen)...it would be a nightmare.
My biggest fear is that we don't find the proper people to refresh our defense in the summer....it's a huge task for our managment but I hope they can cope with it.

[ariel]

Sorry to be going back to the topic(since it seems you guys had fun with `Usual suspects`:)) but at the moment my fear is something which is not connected to transfers policy or re-buying Ibrahim Ba, Brncic ...to name the few.;)
I`m afraid of the possible re-play of the last year`s cl final. I`m not being pessimistic(even if it sounds so),i actually believe we can reach finals this year again,especially being that it`s what we are aiming for, but i hope that 3 silly `lack of concentration` minutes won`t happen again...
But, as the saying goes...lightning never strikes twice in the same place :)

[Giovanni]

Good one, man... along with Attilio Lombardo

ATTILIO LOMBARDO
PELATO (bald) BASTARDO !! :w155:

:dcool:

[Kui]

what's Keyzer Soze???

You mean Kaiser Soze. SANT... I cant believe you never saw the movie. I dont watch movies at all and I at least know who Kaiser Soze is. I'm sure you have seen the movie so I totally understand if you may have not recognized it at first.

Anyway back to topic. My fear is not where this team takes us. I have learned to be calm in the eye in the storm. Milan may bring us victory or we may not win anything at all. I take it philosophically as if I'm trapped in the middle of the ocean on a raft and letting fate take me and this team where it chooses. My biggest fear is the other people on board b!tchin and moaning to a point of driving me mad, in the same manner some people here when things dont go our way. We are fans people. Our support can help and even then we are helpless in the result. So to complain and moan afterwords does no good. This is always my fear. Never the results but the reaction to it especially when it is negative. After so many years supporting this beloved team and through the bad times, I always dread the monday morning moan.

it actually did... depor then istanbul


i dont fear anything but i would be very angry if we dont get players that are out there calling for us and are cheap and are needed like oddo and gallas and alex

[ariel]

it actually did... depor then istanbul



well basically yes you`re right,but depo game wasn`t that BIG if you know what i mean,we weren`t just step away from the trophy and besides we had our comofort in Lo Scudetto that year.It did hurt though i`ll give you that

[Shomo]

Another Depor or Istanbul Saga

[hottie]

im afraid that if there is gonna be a saga,it has at least 3 chapters,so u have the depo,liverpool,and now?...realy hope that im not right:)

I hope wee dont sell pipo for a small amount of money,i hope wee sell him whit big cash to buy does fresh new players.

[SANT]

let's think that the 3rd chapter was the Coppa Italia game against Palermo...

as much of an asset Pippo is, his age brings his price down more and more every year...

[GRE-NO-LI]

I'm afraid that our board will no promote the necessary reshapement of our squad for the next season.

[BaggioForever]

I fear that Juve will not b losing any more points for Milan to catch up. But apparently my fear was redundant. Juve jus drew with Messina!! =D

[ukrainian_CA]

The worst for this year and any future times will be to lose in the CL final to...
Juve.

[CrueL]

well its a pretty good topic,
Materazzi and Zebina in Milan will disappoint me a lot
also keeping Cafu and buying a player who is 28+ years old especially in the defence
maybe buying Ronaldo , depending on Simic , leaving Janku and Vogel and replacing Ancelotti by Donadoni
i think Donadoni aint well experinced for Milan , he is a good coach though !

I was checking trough old threads.... Warro, do you remember? :swars:

[peters]

how the things turn huh? Unbeliavable...
So Warro, no more fear for you!

[Warro Bantan]

I have now faced my fear, and conquered same...I am now without fear...Warro Bantan...aka...fearless!

[slifersd]

Making a few more Oliveira signings while having Galliani smiling and telling us "we have great confidence in our new players, we have a great team and we have the talent to win it all."
