Tacchinardi in Milan link
Source: Football Italia
Milan are pondering a summer bid for Juventus-owned midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi, according to reports.
Stories in some sections of the Italian Press are suggesting that the former Italian international is wanted by boss Carlo Ancelotti.
The latter highly regarded the player during their time together at the Stadio Delle Alpi and he’s keen for them to link-up again.
Tacchinardi is currently in Spain with Villarreal but will be recalled to Turin in the summer as his Juventus contract doesn’t expire until 2008.
Should the move take place then it is likely to be a simple swap deal rather than one involving cash.
Juventus are believed to be presently keen on two Rossoneri stars in the form of goalkeeper Christian Abbiati and Massimo Ambrosini.
Abbiati is currently on loan at Juventus after he was brought in as a temporary replacement for the previously injured Gigi Buffon.
While Ambrosini is a midfield option who director general Luciano Moggi has attempted to lure on many occasions in the past.
Tacchinardi will be keen to impress Italian eyes should Inter make it through to face the Liga outfit in the last eight of the Champions League.
Inter take on Ajax at the San Siro on Tuesday following the 2-2 first leg draw during the Amsterdam Arena encounter.

What do you think about it?
I think there are two questions that must be asked if this is a serious bid;
1) Is Tacchinardi an improvement over Gattuso or Ambrosini ?
2) Which one of Gattusso or Ambrosini will he be replacing ? I can't see there being room for all three of them here.
Maybe Carlo wants him, but Carlo will not be here regardless what we will do in CL. Gattuso,Abmrosini,even Poulsen are better players than Tacchinardi. Not to mention Diarra.

mrki, tell me please, though off topic: Why do u think we will sack Carlo or he will leave next season?
Anyway, this is a mere rumor, and I rate Ambro over Taccinardi anyday...and I am sure we wont be swapping these players...(at least I hope so!)
I believe Carlo will leave Milan simply becocuse people in the club know its time we get refreshment on the bench. Every team needs that. Even juve with great Lippi needed some change. Carlo had some good time in Milan, some bad also. We'll see it in the end. This is just my oppinion.

I both think and hope that Ancelotti will stay. What we need is consistency.
And about Tacchinardi: What are the ambitions of our club? I really question this if we bring in 2nd rate players like him. He would easily become our worst midfielder by far and I see no reason why Milan should sign him. The management can't expect any manager to win the Scudetto with a squad of players like that... That would be underestimating the quality of italian football. :1old:

I am still trying to make sense of this rumour. As people already said, what would a 30+ (think he is already 32-33?) contribute to a Milan team that already has Ambro, gattuso, and let's not forget Vogel, who the way things are going, may very well get a starting spot on this team.
I think this is just another silly rumour - FCS, Tacchi aint a starter even at Villarreal !!! I would rather have Poulsen come over here.
We definetly do not need this transfer.
First of all....Tacchinardi isn't worth any kind of money right now.
Second....If he isn't worth money, then we need to swap. However, who would we give? Gattuso,Ambro,Vogel?? All better players then Tacchinardi so the answer is simple.
NO!

I agree with all of you: getting Tacchinardi will be a faux pas, since he's not better than the players we already have, beside his age.
not needed, id rather see us be linked to ballack, or if we do want a DM, what happened to diarra?!

Tacchinardi? well, umm...... :ilol:
No, we already have Gattuso, Ambrosini, Vogel, and if we really have to sign Tacchinardi, I will set his role as Vogel's replacement in case of Gattuso or Ambrosini can't play.
No thanks, Im not happy with Gatusso or Ambro who is always injured but Id prefer him to Tachianardi anyday. Vogel is just desined to become another Dhorosso or Jankulovski (Good players who dont get a chance)

Milan Getting Tacchi?
Milan are being linked with a move for Villarreal midfielder Alessio Tachinardi in the Spanish press.
The Italian international is currently on a season-long loan to the Spanish overachievers who will meet Milan’s neighbours Inter in the Champions League quarter finals.
Marca claims that Rossoneri boss Carlo Ancelotti has specifically asked the club’s hierarchy to move for the experienced central midfielder.
Tacchinardi seems to have little future at the Delle Alpi, with Patrick Vieira and Emerson ruling the roost in midfield.
How u ppl think??

Regarding Janku, i agree that he should be played more often to at least justify his 10 mil price tag. And we definitely dont need Tacchi since we already have Ambrosini.
I believe Carlo will leave Milan simply becocuse people in the club know its time we get refreshment on the bench. Every team needs that. Even juve with great Lippi needed some change. Carlo had some good time in Milan, some bad also. We'll see it in the end. This is just my oppinion.
You mean like Wenger? You mean like how Ferguson had his best time in ManU some 15 years after he took over? How Auxerre had Guy Roach (sp?) for some 30-40 years? There be no certainty at all.
Anyway, Tacchinardi is a very limited player, static and with no special abilities to either dominate nor control a game. Just one to stand in his spot and protect defense.
actually in his prime i would have loved to see tacchi here... he had a great shot on him and he contributed well in defence... but the current tacchi is a very different one from the past... i say not thanks

No please no not Tacchinardi, it would be a very stupid move.

even in his prime, i find that he lack good tackling skills. he foul players way too often compared to gatusso, ambro and doesn't get the ball that often. the only thing good about him is his powerful shot. he would be the worst MF in our team even in his prime, now he is just dirt.

An ATROCIOUS move, for sure...
If Carlo really wants him then Tacchi must have something that Milan players don't posses, and something that is really important in modern football.
What Tacchi has is "dirty football", and by that i mean, he knows when to make a faul and stop the opponents attack at the midfield. Something, to be honest, we don't have.
That's the way Juve plays for years now, and that's one of the things that makes them conceding less goals than the others.
But that's a football Milan doesn't play and it would be foolish if we change our way of football and become another Juve.
I don't want Tacchinardi because i don't want Milan to play boring football ! Although, this way of football is usefull sometimes. You know what they say: Ofense wins matches-defense wins trophies !
EDIT : He's 30 years old (born 1975)-let him stay in Villareal
I don't like Tacchinardi at all, but he is one of Carlo Ancelotti's best friends (not just favorite players, like Crespo). Actually if he was 5 years younger, I would welcome him to our squad, but he is too old already, and he is no Cafu, no Stam. I don't want him.
vonim has a point... though i agree, id rather have ballack or diarra or camoranesi

WHY HIM? WHY NOT BALLACK AND DIARRA?
Beside, Ancelotti is leaving next year even if we win the CL.
of course everyone prefers ballack or diarra to tacchinardi, the way you talk is quite similar to: Why Amoruso? Why not Henry or Ronaldinho? :D
I guess (and surely I hope) that this rumor will disappear in just days. It doesn't really have much merit in it. :5drunk:
