I am not certain about this, but I think Kaladze was the one who demanded to play CB. He had always been more effective as a LB but for some reason he hated playing there and Ancelotti just gave in by making him a full time CB.

I dont know if this was mentioned but Elia Legati who was on loan to Monaco is back at AC Milan now.

hmm, for the first time i hear for that guy how old is he? what position does he play ? and is he any good, or just another Brocchi ??

Has a lot of talk about that Colombian Hurtado from Deportivo Cali? He's following to Hannover.

what happened to Felipe Mattioni? He isnt mentioned for tonights game against hannover. not in the squad, and not with the unavailable players...

BTW Elia Legati is a 23yo italian defender. but not first team material.

Apparently Mattioni needs to apply for his second citizenship or something, thats why he can't leave ITaly. That Columain player Hurado will be playing tonite..

Also I read over at a Chinese site, they posted an interview of Emerson taken from Italian press or Spanish press.

In that Emerson said, he told Kaka, he must play for Real esp this June. Also he stated that Real is #1 in the world and Milan is #2.

Gosh, if that interview is true, why is he even doing in Milan?

I do think he deserves this last season. And dont think that he is the one who is begging another year to play. I remember that Milan pushed him to receive another 1 season playing. And I dont think that if he retires last season then it would be awesome.. how come ?!! It would be suck for sure ! He will finishes his great record with empty hand (dont count any trophies beside scudetto and CL) ! I would like to remember Cap not only as someone who can still play (it would be an average Cap, IMO he isnt average Cap) but also someone that has great record and an extra ordinary man . So he deserves this season. Rejuvenation is good in every aspect but I think everything has an exception. And Maldini is one of that kind! And whoever make a fool of him is clearly for sure one of ungrateful person.

And we need back to mercato now Man.. I do really need chill pils it just because like something stab my heart when someone talk about Paolo not in the nice way ^^

First off, I said, I thought Cap should have retired after our CL win and not last year.
Secondly, I think you misunderstand what I meant by making a fool of Cap. I meant to say players making a fool of Cap on the field. I am not saying a lot of people can do that, but you must admit if a striker is very fast and speedy, Cap will run into trouble, and thats what I don't want people to remember him by.

I love Cap, and thats why I want to protect his legandary status. Kind of like Jordan making his second come back, which he failed and he actually tried to make a third comeback.

I wasnt pointing on you
Yes I quoted your post just because I want to give my explanation related with yours. I just cant stand if people say get rid of Maldini.. he is 40yrs old.. bla..bla..bla without knowing the fact. The fact is I think he even could perform better than Kaladze or Favalli. And stay safe from injury unlike Nesta while we lack of CB. For someone at that kind of age I hope people will have the fact straight
I do realized that he cant be playing in every match. And I do realized that speed often beat him too. Age cant lie. But I do think that some of his experiences might be useful. So he deserves this season as his last season. If he extends another season/s I think myself will call him and push him to retire But for now.. he deserves it.

Supposedly AS (the spanish press) got that interview with Emerson. Need I say more?

Why can't Real just ask for players that are surplus to Milan, I am sure we will say yes if thats the case.

Because we have a tradition to keep: we ask for players that are surplus to them: Redondo, Ronaldo, Emerson. . .

Sometimes I even think that Emo works as an undercover agent for them

About Maldini, he sure isn't as other players ... I don't know any other defender still able, at his age, to play like he does. Of course, it's not anymore our Maldini from the best years, but who cares, it's his last season, and it's good to see him playing (even if sometimes I'm angry to see Favalli-Maldini together lol).

Legends never die !!

About Favalli, as I mentionned him, is it just an impression or does he play better each year ? He never was a great nor a very good defender in his career, but he did some good things last year and does still better this year ... we should keep him until he is 50, he'll maybe be a WC defender !!

Be careful, you know you shouldn't even kid about that what if Galliani here's it? He'll offer Favalli a new deal until 2013, like Kaká's

But that being said, I agree: Favalli has actually put in some good performances this season

Well, Favalli is keeping things simple due to his exp and he plays positional defense instead of movment defense. Which as long as the other team does not have creative attacker, he will be fine, but when it is one on one or against counter, Favalli will suffer.
