I don't think Carlo has anything against Gorky. He's always underlined what a great talent the Frenchman is even if he didn't have to say anything flattering. Plus, whenever Gorky has been given the chance, he has hardly ever disappointed, on the contrary, he's been great most of the time, so Carlo would be able to find many drawbacks in him even if he wanted to.
Carlo himself said that Gourcuff needed time to adjust to the italian game and also to the training process at Milanello. This whole process was hampered by Gorky's cracked ribs injury which kept him for close to 2 months on the sidelines. That;s why I think the main reason why Carlo keeps Gorky out is to give him time to catch up in his understanding of how Milan plays as a team and make up for the trainings that he missed due to that injury.
Based on how rarely Gorky has been used so far, I guess a safe bet is to suggest that he would be on the bench vs Celtic. I, however, think that he will start alongside Kaka with Brocchi, Pirlo and Gattuso in midfield, especially with Seedorf suffering from a muscle strain, which made him miss the Siena game.
Nothin more solid, and at the same time preserving the danger up front, than a X-tree formation with 3 pacey and techical players at the front (and Gorky is some tackler too).
Forza Gorky
