Regarding "what if we had no Kaka`": Read carefully what Dev said: Without the other individuals I very doubt how Kaka` can become a star. Just see Sheva as an example. Don't forget that Kaka as a star is not just born but also made.

Another example will be Pirlo: We see how he is 'made' in LIppi's Italian team (with full adequate cover for him) but is made to suffer at Milan when Ambro and Gattuso failed to protect him.

And didn't that cost us point as well?

Just because the goal went past the GK didn't mean that GK is solely responsible for it.

I feel sorry for you being riduculed by your friends, but this just shows you again how high profile Milan is that your friend will actually make fun of. No one will probably do it with Cesc because Cheslsea is just in no way on par with Milan's status.


I have not made my argument clear. I am not saying that all of our problems last year are Dida's to blame. That would be ridiculous. But, all I'm saying is that Dida DID cost us points with his bad play, and I believe our correspondence in this regards involved you saying "For God's sake, it's Kalac who didn't save the goal last year." Sounds like YOU were pointing someone out!

I can totally understand the sentiment you feel about ungrateful fans. Many posters here are unreasonable IMO. But, Dida Sucked(!) last year, after making 4 million (quoted from Goal.com - so take it as you will.) You are trying to bypass Dida's problems by blaming the whole team (rightfully so) and Kalac specifically for his mistakes when he was a starter. The problem with your thinking is that Kalac was SUPPOSED to be a backup. He's obviously inferior to Dida, that's why he's not making 4 million! So you have to give a pass to Kalac for his poor play because he's being paid to step in only in the unlikely event that our (well paid) starting GK got hurt.

Our team sucked because they simply sucked. Dida was a big part of it. So was Kalac, so was Gattuso, so was Pirlo. Yet nothing you can say will change my view of an absolutely disgracefully OVERPAID Dida and his performance last year (again that Celtic game)......
