Summer Mercato

Zambrotta actually didn't play poorly until that point, then all of a sudden he played great again (with two dangerous crosses).

Give him a break in the summer, partner with Nesta and Maldini/Kaladze, and he should be fine.

sounds like dida the point is, all of his good work was canceled with that mistake. I hope he won't make the same ones with Milan.

Zambro made a mistake, give the guy a break. Everybody makes mistakes, he is world class and he will do well at Milan. I see a lot of you here judge player on their preformances over one or two games. There is a lot of players who play great on one tournament and then fade away.

You can't compare Zambrotta to Dida.

When the sammer mercato begin my dream players for Milan were:Frey, Zambrotta, S.Ramos, De Rossi, Ronaldinho, and Benzema so i hope that until the end of mercato we get at least Ronaldinho

Zambrotta made the mistake because he hadn't seen Mutu in his back. It wasn't a technical blunder (like Dida's mostly were). Mostly the lack of communication was the cause of the mistake.

Maybe not 40mil euro, maybe we'd buy him at lower price. His finishing is so bad? If so, he wouldnt able to score 24 goals in League.

I never said Zambrotta wont be good at Milan. You absolutely misunderstood my previous post(s). I said, I am not that happy with Zambro price. The price is a bit excessive IMO. Why? BEcause he didnt performed well in Barca and it was (almost) certain condition and he was leaving Barca. So these things should make his price lower.

@Tony29

How much Barca paid for only Zambrotta (not including Thuram)?

In my opinion, he is better than Jankulovski. He has better cross and also defends (probly not big diffrence comapre to Janku) better.

For one, he is force fed many chances. In Italy the chances are fewer because of the defensive nature of the way teams play. We can't rely on bad finishing.

I disagree. He didn't perform well in Barcelona BECAUSE OF THE WAY BARCELONA PLAYS. I don't agree at all.

Anyways, I think we should look at some of these Dutch players...

you all remember Zambro's mistake against ManU some weeks ago in CL Ironically, those are two of the last three games i saw him play (the other one is Ita vs. Hol).

The goals that the topscorers from Italy and England have made recent years are not big (almost similar). So, I dont think chances created in Italy and England are so different. The fact is Ade scored 24 goals in Leauge and that's a lot of goals.

By the way, did you watch Arsenal games in Premiership this year?

Lol, it woulndt count if Zambrotta played not well because of Barca plays or not. Milan should ba able to tell Barca (which Milan probably has done, who knows) that Zambro didnt perform well and its almost impossible that Barca would say that he didnt do well because of Barca's play.

Come on, I am not talking about Zambro's quality (if Zambro is good or not). I am only talking about his price which should be lower IMO.

Van Der Vaart is definately a player that can puch Seedorf out of the squad and allow us to play faster football with more pressing and using wider spaces.

Adebayor scored 30 goals this year, its all Im gonna say.

LOL. No. Teams in Italy play with a very defensive style, and pattern. Sometimes you only see 1-0 wins... I just am not keen with Adebayor. Either way, Milan plays a very different style than Arsenal, and I do not recommend that Milan adopts Arsenal' style.

I also recommend that Eto'o is a better suited striker for Milan. Along with the Espanyol keeper we should buy...

And tell me which teams did a majority of Adebayor's goal come against? Teams like Derby County.. lol. In fact 4 of those goals came in a 6-2 win against Derby county.

Zambrotta did perform well most of that game, while committing that one mistake. You need to make yourself more clear, or I will not be talking to you anymore. You're trying to twist my words and turn this against me.

I won't hear it.

I've already told in my previous post. MU, ManCity, Tottenham, Everton etc.

Lol, I think people here can see clearly who is actually not focusing on the topic of the discussion. From the beginning I am talking about Zambro's price NOT his quality.

Man! Second time in a row you dont focus on the thing that being discussed. Hehe I really dont know what I have to say.

ok seriously can you plz let go of that atleast he can score against low table teams unlike some of our players who couldnt score against atalanta if their life depended on it (you do remember pato missing those sitters)
