Kaladze (Possible) Transfer Thread.

No please no , Kaladze is a Milanista and Stam in the place of Maldini has already been proven shaky

Kaladze is great I remeber when he outclassed figo against real.

Kala , please dont go

For the Czech Rep NT Janko plays at LB but in Serie A for Udinese he is more of a left wing/wing-back player so I doubt Milan bought him for his defensive abilities - something he has never truely impressed with. Of course he can be used at LB in some games vs lesser opponents that come to only defend at the San Siro but vs big clubs we would need someone more solid at LB.
I do hope that Milan haven't bought Janku to replace Khaka with him for we would be very quickly back on the market for a solid left back before Christmas time.

Yeah I know that, but again I dont see him playing Seedorf's place because none would be content with being on the bench. But to buy Janks as a LB for Milan wouldnt make much sense either..

I think Jankulovski will be our first-team left full back, so Maldini will not be playing on the left flank so often again. San Paolo will focus on playing on the center.

Kakha will seldom find himself in a match, remember we still have Pancaro who is also going to compete for a spot on the letf back. I am not sure whether they are really going to let Kakha go, but it might happen, I think now we still have 5 players, excluding Kakha, who can play there.. Janku, Maldini, Pancaro, Serginho, and Costacurta!

I dunno, but my idea is rotating Cafu and Pancaro on the right side. Simic will become a backup half-back. He stated several times that he feels more convenient to play as half-back. In this case, Simic will hardly get a place. He will have to wait a chance, because we have Maldini, Nesta, Stam, and Costacurta here. And dun forget, Kakha can play on the center too.

If it is up to me, I will keep Kakha, and let Simic go..

Del Horno plays in Athletico Bilbao.

Actually it is Atletic Bilbao

Costacurta's days in Milan as a competitive player are long gone - these days he is more useful as a "teacher" to the younger, less experience defenders, although we don't have many from them either.
As for Pancaro, I am pretty sure that we signed him on a 2-year loan deal from Lazio and if he stays for any longer we will have to negotiate with them a new deal - loan or permanent. And if, in the end, he does stay with us, he will be used as a defender of last-desparation and play only in Coppa Italia games or when every one else before him is either injured or unavailable.
So all-in-all we have 3 players who could be be considered LBs and from them only Maldini and Khaka are solid in defense as Janku is much more effective going forward.

Kaladze is one of the few under 30 in our defence. He deserved to play more this season but Carlo insisted to re put Maldini in the left and Stam as a first choice. IMO Stam should sit on the bench and be the no. 1 replacement for Nesta and Maldini.
I would have sold or released Pancaro since he's 33, but I'm not the boss.

I'd imagine Janks would come to Milan for an automatic first team spot which is possible only for the LB position, but thats not what hes good at.

Which suggests that Janks and Seedorf has to compete for their place in the first 11 then?

I think it's a bad mistake to let Kaladze leave, he's the kind of player we need to keep.

I read somewhere that Pancaro is only on loan anyway and has to go back this summer. If that's the case then he's gone. I don't see the point in playing Maldini at left back anymore and it's not the way forward. Having Kaladze and Jankulovski as our main left backs seems the logical thing, but when has logic ever played a part in football.

Jankulovski was moved further forward this season as Udinese had someone else to play left back. He can defend and i think left back is the position we should play him. Yes he can play Seedorf's role from time to time, but i would hope we will get a better midfielder to take Clarence's place. I'm not too bothered if he gets benched, he'll just have to work harder.

As for Simic, i can't see why he would stay, he would surely be third choice if we got Oddo.

Simic will be a central defender Jim,

Automatic first team spot in Milan? That was a good one.

Kaladze is good, but not vital. He is very good in locking up the defense, but in offense he lacks the killer touches. Wether he will be needed or not for us depends on our overall plan for the team and defense in general.

yeah janku would easily start with milan... i dont see whats funny!

Well, I guess it is all done for Khaka's transfer to Chelsea - both clubs and the player seem to have already agreed terms and the only thing that is left to bedone is Khaka to sign the papers, which is expected to happen after Georgia's game vs. Albania.

yeah ive seent that in various newspapers....

i think its a poor move because hes a defender first and foremost and we haevnt got much of them...

everyone is saying what a great buy jankulovski and he is a great buy for the midfield not for the defence.

khaladze was a strong resilient defender who i thought was fairly consistent when ever he played. he was never a "push over" as he had speed and strength in abundance and offered stability at the back he sometimes even swung in a decent cross!! (just ask Roma fans!!)
