lol thats a classic, I've been hearing that all season for when Milan drew with Portsmouth.

by the way, Grosso is an absolutely world class LB, he is having a good game..I dont know why someone mentioned that he wasn't. Yeah and thank god Gilardino is not here any more, he would have never been able to up his game (at Milan). When it counts, when the pressure's on, Gilardino is nothing but a pretty little girl. And Iaquinta is another striker that I dont quite understand the hype for, I dont understand why it ever was there!

We must try for Rossi. We need to replace Kaka not by buying a player as good, but by changing the formation and playing for example a 4-3-3. Would be great to have Rossi/Cassano in such a formation.

However, in Leonardo I trust,

Grosso is maybe a WC LB for competitions with national teams ... but he is a joke with clubs for a whole season.

2great goals by rossi!!! He's one of my favourite players for a few years now, young, italian, milan fan! He would be my dream signing

And Pirlo is so much better playing for italia.

Just watched G Rossi in confederations cup he just kicked arse for half the match 2 goals as a substitute unbelievable see what happens when you take off Mauro Camoranesi and Gilardino lol. Toni as a striker is so poor for italy two clear headers and one one on one with the goalkeeper and he didn't score. G Rossi needs to be a Milan player soon we would dominate italy with a striker of Rossi abilities.

The last goal: This is the real Pirlo! Absolutely amazing!!

Well.......excuse the language.....but when you give Pirlo freedom to roam around the field and get closer to the opponent's goal......shi!t happens!!!

Let's just hope that Leonardo is taking notes!

As for Rossi....he is a great player! Not because of what he did today, but because of what he's been doing for the past couple of years with both Parma and Villareal. However.....certainly we won't sign both Dzeko and Rossi. The only way I can see that happening is if we sell Ronaldinho, but again....that's not happening this summer.

So, since Ronaldinho is staying here and according to our management will play a big part of our season next year.....take your pick:

-----Pato----- or ---Dzeko - Pato ----
Dinho-----Rossi ---- Ronaldinho

or, maybe

----Dzeko----
Pato ---- Rossi but what do we do with Ronaldinho? Anyhow, as far as I know....we aren't officially linked with Rossi and as Galliani said we are looking for someone with Dzeko's characteristics.

What a game by Pirlo..awesome!! He was fantastic in all ways.

Hopefully Rossi's performance today got Silvio and Uncle Fester to stand up and take notice. I saw the other day that he's being linked to Juventus and has indicated he'd be interested in going there. I don't think I could ever forgive him for that if he does it. It was bad enough that he chose to play for Italy instead of the United States (not that I blame him for that, but I often think wistfully about how much he would have added to the USMNT). But if he were to grow up a Milan fan and then go play for Juve too, I just don't think I could take that. Better he go back to Manchester United (which, I believe, does have an option to buy him back).

Ah, well, at least three of the goals scored in today's match were scored by Americans.

He was! Hopefully he'll get back to playing so brilliantly for Milan.

the kid really wants to play in Italy so I can understand his choice... If Milan doesnt make him an offer, what can he do? Joining inter would be far worse and unforgivable.
And his choice for italy is logical, his parents are Italian, he is a parma youth player and his name couldnt be more italian.

Who is Jossico ?
Guys‚ I think we should get Jossico of Fenerbahce‚ I have been watching him for 3 years and he is an amazing player. He is a tough tackling Gattuso-like defensive midfielder. He was playing in Spain until last year and moved to Fenerbahce when they appointed Aragones as their manager. I watched him on quite a few occasions last year and he reminds me of a mixture of Seedorf - Gattuso‚ I think we could pick him for around 4 milyon Euros and the only reason why he is so cheap is because he is a bit old‚ I hope we dont miss out on him because I know that Juve are also after him

This is a forward line I would love at Milan next season:

Rossi-----------Ronaldinho
---------Pato------------

This way, R80 gets to play in his fav position and Pato doesn't have to play on the wing as he probably would if Dzeko (or someone like him) came. Also, we wouldn't have to use our last remaining Non-EU spot to sign Dzeko, so we could sign Hernanes or whoever.

I like that formation. I don't trust Ronaldinho to play behind two strikers, he is not a playmaker nor the player who can run in both sides.

Are you Dzeko?
