I would've loved to have Mellberg. We need a guy with a beard on our team. He's a great addition to a team, especially on a free. And Barca and others were after him, so it's not like he's a slouch. I'd like to see us doing more of this type of business, getting squad depth on free transfers, rather than 5 million for Emo. 5 mil is still 5 mil, and that one hurts.
Arshavin hasn't played since end of May, he was ripe for a huge game as he's been sitting on the bench, so I think he was extremely ready to kick ass. It should be interesting to see how things develop with Russian players, as their league is flush with money and ability is getting better. I can't see a major exodus of Russian players personally.

Get better reinforcements... whatever happened to Juve's youth academy? Seriously, Milan is going to do be doing better with our real reinforcements. We dont need some 18 year old from Sweden and some washed up Swedish defender.

Zambrotta did right during the France game, and you can't deny that. He was vital. Perhaps, along with Pirlo, one of the best player son the pitch.

What's wrong with Juve anyways? Del Piero and Camoranesi didn't do well under pressure. Del Piero got dropped in the game against France. Even though Roma are my rivals, I view them as more capable and stronger than Juve.

Well Roma ARE stronger than Juve, the standings are a good proof for that. They played CL and made it far and yet they fought for the scudetto.
As for Juve's youth, 3 youth players will be part of Juve next season with Giovinco being the gem. Watch out for that guy because he'll be, without a doubt, the best player in Italy for years to come.
De Ceglie and Marchisio are also regulars for the u21 team and will play at the olympics. Both of them will play for Juve next season.

Zambrotta is awful at this euro so far. Playing ok against a 10 men toothless France without Ribery isn't something to be proud of.
And when i said he scored an owngoal i was joking about the third goal Holland scored to Italy. Watch it again and see who was the last player who touched the ball, trying to clear the ball but doing the exact opposite.

Well Milan is bringing in three former youth players... and I think Abate is our own fantastic making. I do respect Giovinco... but I have a feeling he'll go elsewhere...

Zambrotta impressed against France... and he did decently against Romania despite the one mistake. He improved from game to game, and it was said he was the best player against France. the short falls of the first game were most linked to Barzagli and Materazzi, who have been benched the last two games, and the inadequate formation used. It isn't Zambrotta's fault. Stop saying he's bad. It simply not true.

You're simply not right... but hey what do we expect from evil juve fans lol.

I think Zambrotta has been one of ITaly's best players, notwithstanding his Romania gaffe.

Um... well I'm not all that much to the right as some think. I'm pretty much to the center...

considering where I live...

Lol, Giovinco is a Juve player, where would he go elsewhere ? They can't stop talking about him and how he's Juve's future. Even Ranieri counts on him as Nedved's replacement.

I don't say Zambrotta is a bad player. I actually watched every single match he played for 7 years, i know perfectly well how good he is.
I'm saying that he was bad at this euro, and he certainly was. He wasn't awful as Materazzi, Barzagli, Gattuso and Del Piero against Romania, but he was pretty bad.
I know him very well and i can tell you that what he's shown in Barcelona and at this euro isn't even close to the great matches he played for Juve and Italy until 2006.
You sound pretty sure that he'll do great for Milan but after 2 bad seasons and now after a bad euro i'd think twice before i say that the 31 years old Zambrotta will make Milan much better.
Milan fans expected the same with Ronaldo and Emerson and they got burnt.

yeah he caught my eye in uefa cup. this is just confirming his class.... im interested in zhurov and pavlyuchenko though... they r more team needs... just still not 100% sold on them. everyone can have 2 good games

Juve has the tendency of losing players... too easily... it's just the way they are. Secco is a fool too... can you really rely on him to bring you change? Zambrotta was much better than Materazzi and Barzagli. He wasn't "pretty bad" against Romania. Yes that mistake was terrible but he was man enough to admit he committed a mistake he knew he shouldn't have.

Milan so far has brought in Zambrotta, Antonini, Abate (arguably one of the best future players), Flamini and Borriello. With the exception of Zambrotta, these are fine young talents...

But to say Zambrotta is pretty bad... he's the best player on the pitch for the last game... and he's stepping it up. He'll do fine for Milan. Yes I'm pretty sure. I'm confident. Milan fans never expected anything from Emerson. Well at least I certainly didn't. I was hopeful with Ronaldo, but what happened to him was a terrible accident... it's not his own fault. He tried his best, and he did score for us plenty... when he did play for us he did fine.

I really do hope for Ronaldo's full recovery.

I view Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko kinda like Shevchenko... it would be fine by me. Arshavin is a very talented energetic player...

You have to insult me everytime I voice my opinion? I have been impressed heavily by Abate, and I view him as a future player in the national team and a regular on Milan.

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

Who are you going to suggest then? Please tell. I doubt you've even seen the kid play.

Rich. Insult kids you've never seen and probably never heard of. What next?

Okay wait I get it. Lets get rid of our youth academy because some people laugh at all italian youth players, and lets just buy ALL players overseas... yes. That's smart.

REally? LOl I dont insult you but I thank you making me laugh.

I dont have problem with that, but for me its really funny to read such that comment.

I am not going to suggest anything as I only concern on 'Abate is one of best future players'.

I've never seen? Lol I've seen him play when he was in primavera and I've wat ched him play in Serie A. I know this kid, thats why I cant stop laughing reading a comment which said he is one of BEST future plyer. Lol

I respect your super support to management but plase not so exaggerate on it.

Why is it funny? I'm totally serious about that. I doubt you have ever seen him play because of your comments. Often youth talent takes time to emerge... often it comes sooner and busts right into the scene like Paloschi did with his 10 second goal (I think it was).

Good day to you.
