Banter 2009/2010

I don't buy this rumour about Pato. This kid has practically been out injured half of this season. I somehow believe that one day he'll be gone. But that won't be happening until he's old/mature enough as a player and thus yielding more money to Papa Berlu.

And regarding Mancini, I respect some members' opinion here that if Leo can rejuvenate Dinho's career then he can do the same with Mancini. But watching him from last season (even if there were only a handful performances) I just got the same feeling when watching #76 Sheva: they're just so washed up with not a glimpse of their heydays. Besides that relies heavily on the assumption that Leo will stay.

I'm not trying to create some kind of conspiracy theory here but isn't it strange that when Leo himself refuses to talk about his future, focusing only on our last 5 games, then all of sudden everyone in Milan talks about this to media: the captain, Tassoti the assistant coach, and Galliani the club president. I mean, for **** sake why can't they just shut their traps and talk only about the remaining games? While they layered it with "I myself hope that he'll stay but it's up to him" I can't help but feeling that they're making up an excuse here: we want him to stay but HE chooses to leave. While we all know that Leo will be happy to honor his contract if the management shows the same desire to bring success to the club. You know, it's just like Mou's whining about how the Italian press, FIGC, game officials, etc abhor him can be interpreted as an excuse for not being able to deliver what was expected of him (UCL, and surprisingly the scudetto).

I don't know guys, perhaps I'm reading into this too much. Time will tell though..
