Winter Mercato

Now, I want Rijkaard. Not really because I like him but I have lost my confidence for Ancelotti. A new coach now is really a big risk, but keeping Ancelotti maybe a bigger risk, considering our form (from the year we last won champion league).

i think aside from scolari... no other coach could get more out of our current squad. Ronaldinho, seedorf think the r above the game. I dont know if they r geniunely out of shape to not run, but there game makes me think they r lazy. Carlo is regarded as 1 of TOP coaches in world. I mean seriousl 3 champions league finals n 5 years. 2 wins. There was a reason chelsea, and barca wanted him. We see the grass as greener on the otherside but there is something to be said.
Now im not saying carlo is blameless by anymeans. But i have a hardtime imagining any coach other than possibly scolari getting our players back to the top. Face it... sheva will at best be a backup striker, dinho and seedorf r lazy and shells of what they could be. Kaka needs to run but has no speed around him, thus rendering him useless. Pato is developing an attitude problem (apparently), Pirlo is overworked and limited by fact he doesnt have a squad that works for him, and lets him make plays for them. and aside from nesta (and zambro), our defense is ****.

All the kool-aid drinkers who praised our mercato, where are you now?! Its always hard to give up on your idols, but thats what milan needs to do. Ronaldinho was my footballing god, but if im really going to be rational, i knew milan should have never signed him. Sheva, man.....the first milan jersey i purchased with my own money when i was 16 years old (I saved from reffereeing youth league games weekends lol). Paolo.... doesnt even need to be said. It hurts, you never want to see the players you loved so much falling this bad. But its reality. If not i'd still want to be watchin maradonna, romario and baggio.

Back to carlo, if you look at it objectively, wht else can he do? WHAT is rijkaard going to do better? Donadoni? These r our only options until offseason. A more attacking coach? Attacking isnt our problem....well it is but its the players, not carlo attempting to attack. Its the fact when we attack our defensive is so slow and errorprone we get murdered on ever counter.
