Yes, Dario Srna is a player with FAR less quality then D. Alves, far. So is Oddo, Bonera, Jankulovski, Grygera, Maxvell and so on... Only palyers up to him are MAicon and fresh Zambrotta, but at this moment you need to realist what Brasiliero said - Alves is a playmaker at the RB stop, man that can create the game. And no ther fullback can do that. He can influence the game like young Cafu could.

Read what I wrote please carefully so you dont missunderstand some parts or words, thanx.

If you're sentences were clear i wouldn't have made points about them.

Plus you still haven't explained why you think i'm frustrated. You wrote it, so you must have had a reason to say it and i want to know what that reason is.

You should also take some of your own advice about reading posts carefully so as not to missunderstand them.

Boruc is the only onrmal option and I think he can play for Milan with sucess, and that he is better player then Abbiatti as well. Abbiatti will be a risk again, and firm defence needs firm GK who has confidence, Boruc is the man for us right now. We should invest in him. There is no point of having Dida in our squad anymore paying him 4 mln per season.

But, realistic question - How good Maggio really is? He had a good season, but how Good is he? I know you will understan the question Giancarlo.

I agree with you on that... but Abbiati is a good goalkeeper... not a risk. However, I think Huerelho Gomes, Juan Pablo Carrizo, Oscar Ustari are all better bets than Boruc.

Dida must be released because we could definitely use the salary we pay him elsewhere.

Christian Maggio had a good season, and he is experienced too. He's 26 years old. It's not like we're dealing with a younger player here... he played in Fiorentina and Sampdoria extensively. But... there is a problem... Fiorentina might not be willing to give him up.

Boruc made a great save agains Germany before conceding an inevitable second goal.

True. Maybe I'll concede that Boruc might be a good acquirement...

One tihng I can't believe is that Germany are still playing Lehmann... I guess he plays better for the national team. On the club... oh boy... he's as bad as Dida. I think he was the same keeper that played for Milan but was actually substituted midway through a game... that bad. He only played like half dozen or so games with Milan before being sold.

Really? Are you doubting the talents of Italians? Yes, that's why England didn't qualify for the Euro 2008. If we go with entirely foreign signings like England, our national team could suffer.

No that's not the reason why the EPL dominated the CL this year. The reason they did is was because Milan had a bit of an injury crisis.

And let me remind you, I highly doubt that the CL Will be dominated by the EPL again like it was... anytime soon. It will be a priority to get back to the Champions League for Milan. And we will win more of them than any EPL team. Hands down.

The thing is: We don't want a good keeper.

We want a world-class one.

And honestly, I haven't seen any GK that is as good as the current gang of world-class GK.

Well world class as in? I'm sure we would agree and disagree on who is world class and who isn't.

I think EPL is there to stay, simply because some how they do better in general in CL for the past few years. Very difficult to discount the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea until at least the quarter final.

The key is: will teams from other countries buck up?

Buffon, Csec, the RM GK( I forgot how to spell it), and used-to-be Dida.

Rest have potential but these are the world-class in my opinion.

And we are not going to get any of them.

Thus, I would rather prefer someone who is less well-known but have the material to be world-class. That to be is a long-term solution to Mian's current GK situation. WE can get Abbiati or Boruc but are they long-term solution?

Buffon... well... yes I'd like to see him play for Milan.. Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas? I can't stand him honestly lol.

I named some young keepers because they do have potential. Huerelho Gomes would probably be our best bet as to getting a world class keeper... he plays for PSV. Gomes is like 26-27... probably last a few years longer than Abbiati.

I'd much rather prefer some younger keepers... too bad about Lloris.

Yah.... whatever. If that person decides not to come, then that's too bad. Rumor is that offers have been given to him, but he decided not to come. That's his choice and I think we all respect that decision.
Then ofcourse, you have people here bashing he management for not paying enough for him.

You know, players take on different route; players have different goals, different dreams. Players have different needs (money as well as the joy of playing football), and different skills.

Some succeed early, some late.
Some unlucky, some not.

But no matter what it is, the key question is: has the players tried hard enough?

And quite simply, and I'm sure you are with me, that our players this year have not given their best this year, especially after the club world club championship.

I think most of us agree but that's easier said than done, he has a contract with us, a legal mutual agreement that only can be torn up if both parties agree.

a) We could try to find a club for him he wants to join. In theory the most easiest solution.

b) We could pay him the full amount of his contract but then we might aswell keep him. Pretty dumb thing to do

c) We could pay him a fee to become a free agent, not the entire sum but if he plays elsewhere he could earn some more there. We tried this but Dida rejected, what is his full right do to.

no, Giovanni was here and said Galliani had a contract with Buffon and Silvio needed to pay 40mln to Juve, but he "trusted" Dida... that is why peoiple were mad.
