We don't know officially if we bought him or if he is loaned and you know his wage ?? Source please, because if you found his wage, it will be easy to find the price we paid for him so ... I'm pretty curious.

For me, it is a loan with an option ... that we won't use, I hope lol.

After last night's draw,we definitely need one more power center,1 boriello is not enough.

After last night's game, i think we need a new coach who plays with 2 strikers.

We didn't play bad last night,we orgnized very well actually,last night's game is one of the best this season on the aspect of tactics and intensity continuation;but we definitely lack penalty area existence.

Take a look at inter's lineups,they got ibra,cruz,crespo,adriano,ballotelli,all power centers.that's why they always overcome compact defence.

did you watch the game?

p.s. we don't really have 2 strikers to start the match. Inzaghi? - he can't play a full match anymore. Sheva? - not fit, maybe he will never be again. Borriello? - injured

I just love it when people defend Carlo likes that. How do you know Sheva or Pippo cannot last a match?

Everyone knew what Reggina will do and yet Carlo did nothing from the start.
If he started with Pippo and Pato with Dinho and Kaka behind them,Ｉam pretty sure the outcome will be different.

As for tactics, it was more due to having players that can pull it off then anything else. And yet, do you notice any focal point in our attack last game? I certainly did not and I am pretty sure a lot of people here would say the same. To me it was a great game to watch, b/c it was first Dinho, Pato, Beckham, Zambro and Kaka all had a time that made me jumped off my seat, but they were too individual instead of playing as a unit.

I know some of you might think Carlo is god....but to me he is not a good coach and was lucky to have players that did win for him. What he is good at is kissing Berlu and Galli asses and doing whatever they tell him.

I just love it when people show off their football expertise like that. How do you know Sheva or Pippo would make an impact? And with that kind of knowledge why don't you make millions of dollars coaching a real team?

LOLOLLLOLOLOLOL!!!!

Judging by the last two seasons or so there is a lot of blame to go around and surely Carlo has his share. Lineup choices ala Trap, which Ancelotti has used sometimes, are no way to win against defense packed teams that need a lucky counter or two. Depending on how Bori progresses we need a target man, an overhaul of the defensive side and speedy wide players.

Reza you mentioned Boriello, and Carlo also does sometimes. But Boriello is not a better palyer then Pato. in fact Pato is twice of a player Boriello is. Even though Boriello has a heading advantage.

And when Boriello gets fit, where will he play? In 4-3-2-1? with Pato benched?

Or in 4-3-1-2 with NECCESSARILY Dinho benched, and with Beckham playing well maybe even Seedorf as Pirlo-Seedorf-Beckham cant form midfield trio as they cant defend...?

in any case, I dont agree Boriello will have much impact on our game. We better create some compact plays in training and actually create a strict plan and not just play "pick 'n roll " like they do in NBA.... that is how we play in pasr two years. Im partially joking of course but I think you get it.

With Respact to you Reza, I dont agree boriello is out issue.

Marek and his crosses and passes as a fullback, combined with Ambrosini on the Lm are a different story

I am always for a system based on 2 forwards with one made for heading ability because even the most offensive coach/team reverts to crosses and long balls sometimes, its a reality I think. Bori is never going to be at the expense of Pato but some tall target is needed especially if we are to play either with Beckham or use Janku like that. If we get a new way of playing (with or without Carlo) I think the idea of finding space for all (not at same obviously, but you know what I mean) of Beckham, Seedorf, Pirlo, R80, Kaka (and may be even Gourcuff) should be shelved. A proper 4-1-x-x or 4-2-x-x (fitting one or two of Flamini, Rino, Ambro, whoever) is long overdue in my opinion.

Agree,Reza! we should play 4-2-x-x when facing teams like regienna.

when game is on the line and we cann't break packed defence in last 30 minutes,throw in at least 2 power center is a must,that's a bit mouriho-like,but you got to have that feel of urgency .

The thing is that, playing with 1 striker against a pack defense like Regginna is not the answer. B/c even if we have Drogba or Ibra playing with us, i doubt they can score being all alone by themselves. And thats the problem with Milan over the past few years. We had Gila last few yrs and he did not solve our problems against pack defense. I think the key is really to play with two strikers against pack defense and yet Carlo still could not figure that out over the past 5 yrs.

And FLAME, I am not going to start a debate with you as there is no point since you are so in love with Carlo and his GREAT tactics. I can't wait for Carlo to leave Milan and see if you will still be his follower.

i suggest next season will be time to have a new coach

for the players to offload, i think maldini is a certain cuz retirement, loaning players (senderos & sheva) sent back to their owners then favalli, emerson and also dida (considering his high wage aint match up with his contribution) must be sent off

for seedorf, i do think if new coach come to milan seedorf wouldnt get opportunity as much he get these days and probably the carlo successor dont need seedorf in regards of gorky's called back

for beckham, yes he played great so far. though the management so eager to offer permanent contract but imo better for us to invest in other younger players. beckham will be in flopping curve in years to come

I agree ! we lose lots of points against lowly team who come just to defend..

this aint the first time we scratch our head thinking how to penetrate into a-9-players defence area.. , this has been repeated over the past 5 yrs (not sure, quoted frm Gabriel489 )

Come on, if you had not been able to get a result with lone striker, give it a try w/ 2 or even 3 strikers !

Or apply this formula ! number of opponents played in the penalty box = number of STRIKER we must play with !!!!

I'm SO frustrated
