Thanks for the information, mate.

for god sakes, just bring him in Milanello, if he has 19 years old, and plays in first team, and plays strongly for good team like palermo, that's enough... already he is better than kaladze, only that i wanted to hear is number 19, and first team in palermo, that's enough for me !!

no problem!!!anytime!!
but i agree with blond, he is young give him a go,and he is absolutely better than kaladze,kaladze looked good only beacue of Nesta,any player even myslef i think would look world class in defence(kidding of course hehe)but if he is not expencive bring him on instead of kala,an send kala back to dyinamo along with sheva so they can finish their cariers there!!!
and as i can see people here are for santacrocce i must say i am not that impressed with him he is good and young but i think he is a bit hyped,just look napoli roma game he was bad even gave away ball justa like pirlo did against brazil!!

I invite you to explain to us where Gattuso will play in Milan next year and where Beckham will play? My dear lord allmighty.

My argument is this: this is the third season we have lost scudetto in the middle of the season. If somone ( who could it be ? ) does not undertand the point and only has to say " I vote for Berlusconi as my dad says so." then I've got no more explanation to do.

Great coach, great players, everything is ok. Pirlo is not bad, Seedorf is not bad, Dinho is fit ( he did play well yesterday ) etc... We are all morons and need to write crap for goal.com and know **** about football...We lost 15 rounds before the end.

So maybe something is actually wrong is the beautifull city of dreams where fLame lives. Fortunately for us, your sarcasm is always ready for - nothing to say in the end. You could work for Galliani as a spokesman.

Hey maybe its Giancarlo's brother or something, uncle or dad, hahaha!

I'm sorry, but as said (in another way) on the other topic, stop speaking in the past please, I didn't see Inter's captain with the Serie A cup in his hands yet ... and as far as football is an unpredictable sport, they still can lose the championship !!

About Kjaer ... I'm not sure, ok to let a chance to young players, but we need a real replacement for Nesta as the bad news are coming back (he would be operated for his problem).
I don't think Thiago Silva has the same level as a fit Nesta, actually I don't think anyone has the same level as a fit Nesta in the world, but we should try to get a defender in Top 5 in the world, even if he is 30yo ... we need a leader as we're going to lose Maldini, our captain and current leader in defence, and probably Nesta (for me, we don't need the next Maldini, the next Maldini was Nesta who was at his top when he came here, and now we need the next Nesta, a guy at his top right now and who will make us proud to wear his shirt, as with Maldini of course and then Nesta ...).

And you can't really say "**** the fancy passes" when Dinho is included in this lineup.

Zambrotta has been consistently one of our best players this season.

Come on Beemer--you're better than this.

Anyone knows?

Is he young?
Is he a defender?
Is he NOT Kaladze?


YES? TO ALL THREE?

SIGN HIM PLEASE!!!!!!!

He's currently Denmarks 3rd choice defender after Agger and Kroeldrup from Fiorentina, which is quite good for a 19 yearold in my opinion. Can't say i've seen him play much, but he sounds like a good talent, but he's probably to green to be a starter at Milan.

If Nesta doesn't recover, then we need a CB. We've been linked with Agger, and he's a top class defender, but i think that he might be to much like Thiago Silva, who i see as a Libero kinda defender. The kind of defender that anticipates the game well, and who's great at bringing the ball forward. That's all good, but he needs a destroyer next to him. A defender who's a monster in the air and who's a good tackler/marker, so we can take out arial threats.

Hi im new here and would like to get my thoughts out after yesterdays robbed derby....
For me it is obvious that Ancelotti has lost it for the past 4 yrs he has been afraid to attack inter until its to late this is going back to our 3-2 comeback victory its simple you can't play 1 striker v inter 2 strikers even with our shockin defence if pato had inzaghi next to him yesterday inter wouldn't have known what hit them could you imagine if ronaldinho had 2 targets to hit from the beginning?????? Yes the ref cost us to an extent but Ancelotti must be blamed how can you start a so obviously out of shape Kaladze???? dont you think someone like Senderos not that he is exceptional would have been able to deal with the physical game of Adriano??? after all he is a premiership defender....Well getting to the summer mercato there is 4 choices for us but they will $$$$ 1.Agger he is no nonsense but classy on the ball 2. lucio yes he is older than what we would like but he is that physical animal we need. 3. Mexes though he is not that power defender he is a nesta molded defender any complaints???? 4. Santacroce though he isn't in the best of form there is no denying he has what it takes I would hate for someone else to take a chance on him and leave us wishing if only.... can anybody remember chiellini needing that chance??? this is the same.

Moving to our other problem st for me there is 2 choices we must get the best we should have pushed for berbatov last yr...............
1. Benzema yes I know he is over priced but he is a unbelievable forward prob the only young forward with our pato that makes you think they really are special....
2. Adebayor looking at inter and juve this yr how many times have they played like crap and got away with it by a ibra or amauri goal or flick on this is what we need and he is capable of this... he will be our ibra also opening space for pato and kaka ;-) exciting

We are AC MILAN! The best team in the world. Or were! We have pride and tradition and honour.

We must win no matter what! It shouldn't matter to us that the referee is biased or that the opponents play with 9 defenders.

We need players to play with heart. We need some real passion.

Ancelotti simply has to go. He cannot inspire, he cannot plan a game anymore and he cant develop players at all. A coach must have at least one of these abilities. He has none. None.

The striker we need and can get is adebayor. We should have got berbatov. But now that we are here, we must get that physical 1st striker and a fit boriello. i still believe in boriello

And a new defender to replace nesta. It is foolish to expect him to come back and play at the same level for more than a game in 5-6. We cannot afford that.

cigarini for pirlo, gourcuff for seedorf, flamini for ambrosini. no beckham. no kaladze, dida, emerson, favalli, inzaghi, maldini, kalac.

we also have promising youth players for all the backup posts. abate, darmian, albertazzi, paloschi etc.

what's the word on filipe again?

no more buying backups or paying them heavy wages. we already have too many backups. time to buy world class!

thanks for the lecture

Abbiati has been fine this season, he's made a number of good saves. Zambrotta has been one of the best fullbacks in Serie A this season too, despite being over 30. As for Gourcuff, he's performing brilliantly in France, has performed well in CL and has done things this season that simply cannot be ignored. It's no shock other big clubs are interested in getting him. His lack of success at Milan was clearly more to do with his maturity and mentality than to do with his ability.

All three players are capable of playing important parts in a serious title challenging side.

Who said Lucio, Alex, Puyol or Canavarro ?
There is a joke in the 4 ... I let you recognize him !!

The best would be an Italian defender ... but I don't think Chiellini will be available (he is already experienced), and even if Santacroce is, I don't see him as our leader, he's still too young actually (but I wouldn't care if we were to buy him anyway ).

About Gourcuff, there are the first signs of a drop of form ... he didn't perform well for 3 games now. And as you maybe noticed, Bordeaux didn't perform well for 3-4 games ... he was also outplayed by Argentina.

But I think it's a normal thing when you play each game for your club (still qualified in every competition if I'm not wrong) and also each game from your NT, even friendlies whereas your coach asks to the NT coach to let you being rested but this last one puts you on the pitch for 90 minutes even when it's obvious the guy wasn't able to run anymore around the 75th ...

In Milan, we could keep him in his excellent form as he could (would lol) be rested sometimes ...

My city might be a beautiful city of dreams, but your's is a world of imagination and self lies.

All the crap is flowing because we lost, had we won, would there be place for posts like "where will Gattuso play next season"? Call the freaking ambulance...

And seriously, did anyone expect a win from us?! I don't mean "hope" or "believe" in win. I mean did anyone rationally came to a conclusion that we were in position to beat Inter in this derby?

I am gonna list 2 reasons why we lost and for this exact 2 reasons i didn't watch the game live (unlike all the other games this season).

reason #1 - we have only ONE option for a striker in this derby - PATO. In fact we have been having this option for half of the season. Did you expect we will break down Inter's physical defense with only Pato?

reason #2 - Maldini + Kaladze against fast and powerful Inter attack. I need not say more.

It's true we have been plagued with injuries. We could be faster trying to make up for those in the transfer marker, but unfortunately we weren't.
We have fixed many problems, like midfield, and goalie.

Anyway, if we play with yesterday's line up for the rest of the season - we are done for. Unless somebody makes a miraculous recovery (Borriello + Nesta) or our new signings turn into great starters (Mattioni + ?), the scudetto is Inter's.
