If he is new, it means he is from our Beretti? Or he is just signed from other club?

Gianola is 18, he just arrived to Milan's Primavera this season on loan from Monza... he is not formed at Milan's younger teams, but because of his talent he caught the attention of Milan's management so he was brought in...

he's a midfielder

Im taking bets Gourcuff will sit on the bench the whole game.. This is the only bet i would love to lose... I

MILANELLO - Here are Milan's called up players for tomorrow: GOALKEEPERS: Fiori, Kalac, Offredi; DEFENDERS: Bonera, Darmian (n.36), Digao, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Maldini, Oddo; MIDFIELDERS: Ambrosini, Caraglia (n.39), Emerson, Gattuso, Gianola (n.35), Gourcuff, Seedorf; STRIKERS: Aubameyang (n.94), Gilardino, Inzaghi, Pato, Paloschi.

Why start Ambro and Gattuso? They need to be in tiptop shape for Arsenal. Also playing Ambro, Gattuso, Emerson really won't make scoring at the San Siro an easy task. I'd honestly rather play Caraglia/Gianola instead of one of them and see what the kid can do. Or we could play Seedorf in Pirlo's position, but that's if Seedorf isn't being saved for Arsenal as well.

thats true slipped my mind...and the fact ambro has been playing alot ..but they could play from the start to have better match fitness against arsenal and than be rested by HT and sub in caraglia....Gianola........or just have ambro rested and start one of the two youngesters and sub gattuso out for the other one

Where is Simic ? lol

I think it will be:

Kalac
Oddo (sub by Darmian) - Bonera - Kaladze - Maldini/Janku
Gourcuff - Emerson - Ambrosini (sub by a young)
Seedorf (sub by Gattuso)
Paloschi - Gila

it will be : Kalac,Oddo,Bonera,Kaladze,Janku,Emerson,Ambrossini,Brochi,Gatusso 1 Half,PATO,GILA. I HOPE that Gorki will play.

Gorki play LOL

Darmian isn't a central defender? If Darmian plays, Bonera will move to the right side, I think.

Yes but I'm not Ancelotti, it's what I think lol, so if these subs are done with this team, players would move on the pitch (like Gourcuff taking place on Seedorf and Gattuso on Gourcuff).

Calciomercato says that:
Kalac; Oddo, Bonera, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Emerson, Gourcuff; Seedorf; Pato, Gilardino

So I almost found it !! I had the right defense, almost the right midfield (Gattuso playing and not Ambro) and almost the right attack (Pato bizzarely playing and not Paloschi).

Yeah, I also thought Paloschi will play from the first minute.

Oh and for the young guy having signed with Primavera ... he can't be good: Pato is 18, he goes in first team, he is 18 and goes in Primavera ...

I am hoping our overall quality will give us the 3 points...but I dunno....we may again just get away with a draw...

The race for 4th is an undignified race for a club such as Milan, but we are paying for the lack of reinforcements over the last two transfer windows, in addition to our exertions for the World Club Cup.

That being said, we should, for a club of our stature, have enough depth, even with youth players, or those on the periphery of the starting 11, to get to 4th spot without too much strain...

However, no use crying over spilt milk.....let just see if the players can deliver, and Carlo can find a tactical soloution to our current predicament....

With the difficult run in we face, I indeed wouldnt be surprised if we are playing UEFA cup next year...and since we havent won it yet, why not next year?
