I heard Carlo talking about players from all parts of the world. But I´m still waiting to see Allegri talking about the Brazilians we are linked. It´s not like he wasn´t talking about players in Serie A, too... Or he is clueless about SA football or there´s something strange in this silence.

One more time, I want Milan winning regardless of where the players come from. Maybe I´m being unfair, but it´s just that Allegri silence about players we are linked here(S. America) sounds strange for me... NM.

Well, except saying "we need a midfielder" (and saying the kind of qualities he should have), Allegri never really talked about any particular player since he arrived ...

I don't think he doesn't know the SA championships, at least I don't think he knows less than Carlo or others coaches in Italy. What I mean is that the club has scouts and the coach maybe trusts these scouts ? Actually, it should work this way because if the scouts are not trusted by the coach or the management, why are there scouts ?

To make it clear, it's maybe a bit early to ask to Allegri to talk about some players he would want. Let him do his first year here, the guy needs to establish himself as the coach of Milan, he probably has to deal with the egos of our players (so it's more difficult to say "this player is interesting ..."), he probably wants to avoid showing too much interest into players who could take the place of "young" (by young, I mean U30 who are slowly establishing themselves in our first team: Antonini, Flamini, Abate, Thiago Silva, Pato, ...) first team players, ...

It's just some ideas why the guy doesn't talk too much about potentially new players, about prospects and interesting players from other clubs ...
