There is only a problem, a big one, which it has been formed owing to an incredible number of mistakes.
$heva is simply the last one.

i know you wrote, i just wanted to elaborate..

Watching the Gijon game, I take back my Kaladze comment. We need a new CB.

I am so happy mate to read your post. Finally you wake up.

I don't want him to play so often that we have to depend on him. Nesta seems like he's not fit enough to start every game, so that freaks me out.

Btw, we're playing like **** in Gijon. No teeth. Paloschi missed a couple of easy chances.

Let's discuss about this game in the suitable thread. It's so empty there.

We do need a great DC. I am really afraid about our defence. We just let the goal from opponent easy to made.

His sense of positioning is just terrible. I don't know what happened to him. Whenever there's a cross, he always seems to be in the wrong place, marking the wrong guy, leaving someone free behind him... He used to be a lot better. If they have one more rabbit in the hat, I hope its Zapata. Or nothing.

1) he has had ENOUGH chances but couldn't integrate himself
2) His shot selection seems to be a thing of the past
3) His shot accuracy would make Gila look like a marksman
4) HE DESTROYED MUCH OF HIS LEGENDARY PACE BY TRAINING BADLY...There was an article where Desailly advised him to alter his routine to get back his speed.....hope for our sorry state he could get back some
5) he scores for Ukrraine alot which I must admit is somewhat comforting...BUT he is the focal point of attack there ......seems like another Milan-Gila debacle again imho
6)Chelsea and ManU made the CL final + Arsenal and Liverpool were in the quarters.......the EPL couldn't be that much of a crap league if they have been owning the cl that way
7)Conversely...if the epl WAS a crap league...shouldn't he have been scoring by the boatload

So all the silly excuses why he falied at Chel$ki don't fly either

May I politely point out that R99 was in a very similar situation when he joined Milan and your reaction was very different.

But of course... R99 is much better than Sheva.

I also dont know. Since he recovered from his injury, he looks like another type of defender.

May I politely remind you that there was NOTHING wrong with R99's GAME...it was his fitness that was in doubt. also R99 never had problems adapting to scoring in ANY team...he moved to teams in diverse leagues and outstripped other star established players. He still had his acceleration and some of his pace...just not the stamina and R99 IS a marksman...NONE of these apply to Sheva

Out of all discussions: for people who said that Galliani was a lyer, he said that Sheva and Ronaldinho would be 180% ours in Aprile, now they are ours ... what a god of mercato !! lol

I would go even further saying that Galliani "rules the transfermarket"

He has had all the players he said he would have few months/weeks later, that then he said he couldn't have and that to finish he said we would have again ... someone understanding me ? lol

No link with CDs ... 7 days to find one.

that's politics, at least we got all our players at a decent price,
would Galliani choose to pump up the interest and make our intentions clearer - we would definetly pay more

So for moment (today/tonight), our first team is:

GK: Abbiati, Dida, Kalac
=> Ideally, Dida or Kalac should be sold/loaned, but that won't happen.

Defense: Zambrotta, Oddo, Bonera, Nesta, Maldini, Kaladze, Antonini, Jankulovski, Favalli + Darmian
=> We'll maybe add a CD in that list ... there are 2 RB, 3 LB, 4 CD + Darmian, it's a bit stupid. Ideally again, the best would be 2 RB + 2 LB + 4 CD + 1 young, and if we buy a CD, we'll have 2+3+5+1.

Midfield: Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Flamini, Brocchi, Emerson, Cardaccio
=> Will Brocchi go ?! Or Emerson ??

Attacking midfield: Kaka', Ronaldinho, Seedorf
=> Perfect

Forwards: Pato, Inzaghi, Borriello, Shevchenko, Paloschi, Viudez
=> Like defense, it's a bit a stupid situation there ...

On Loan: Gourcuff + Abate

On italics is my opinion ...
