Summer mercato 2009

Great Post Samaldinho!!!!!

Yes, thank Samaldinho.

Milan is Milan, anyway. With or without the players, the board, this is the team I chose to support.

Just wait with patience and see.

31 yo Denilson is finished with playing in Vietnam...I just hope Berlu doesn't start to get ideas now

As such, we can't predict who will, or won't start...even the players themselves are clueless...read Pato's need for "guarantees" over his starting spot next term is a perfect example of this.

Of course everyone has his one favourites Warro,but thats the point i try to make,Leo has different favourites if you compare him to Carletto,wich will benefit us.

Leo likes the type of players like Pato and Kaka,players with attacking skills,fast young dynamic etc.He also likes players with a high work rate,no wonder we are after Cissokho and Dzeko,we all know its Leo who wants those players otherwise we really would have ended up with Denilson from Vietnam.

You dont have to be smart to see that Leo likes young and enthusiastic players,look at the players he brought as scout.

Dutchie, Seedorf had not been running for a whole season since his days at Ajax.
Pirlo can run but whether he will do so for the whole season is another story.
Same goes for Dinho.

Trust me, I wish what you said will become reality but thats a slim chance of that happening.

Seedorf isnt worth a discussion,if he runs we have one of the best midfielders in the world in our squad,if he stays lazy then he will meet with a good friend,his name is the bench.

And may i remember you that Slowdorf can run,remember the derby vs Inter when Kaka was injured and we only had Dinho and Seedorf,Seedorf run like hell in that game because it was needed,if Leo puts pressure on Clarence then he can run,if not the only one who will get damaged by it will be himself as we have enough midfielders to cover him(like Janku who does run or Cardacio).

Pirlo wil run,he did run on the confederations cup with Italy because he had a free role,wich means he has to be everywhere on the field.With Milan he wil also run because Leo will probably give him a free role. Pirlo isnt lazy,he just didnt run because he acctually couldnt as Carlo didnt allow him to move forward.Thats it.

And for Dinho....Milan depends on him now,and i just cant believe that Leonardo will let him play slow football because our coach nows that without a dynamic Dinho we will be dead.

There are already reports saying that Leo made Dinho is primary objective,he wants him to make runs like he did with barca,he also will be getting no defensive duties in games so that he can use all his energy to terrorise the defense of our rivals. He also wants him to get some psycholochical help because he needs to get more motivated.

Leonardo will get dinho fit and he will let him run unlike carlo.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, something really bothers me. Young Italians, like Santacroce, Bocchetti and Marco Motta are coming through to the senior level and are impressing a great deal. The truth is, none of the big teams seem interested in them, which I really don't understand. Marco Motta has broken into the Roma side this season and has impressed a lot, so it seems odd to me that no one considered challenging Roma's bid for him (considering they're really struggling to get him and look most likely to reach co-ownership right now). Bocchetti is similar too, he's broken into the Genoa first team and has just come off a great season, yet the only club really linked to him right now is West Ham. Finally Santacroce, who is potentially the best of the lot and yet no one seems to get linked with him. It seems ironic that three potential big players in Italy's future, all of whom have just come off great seasons, are not linked particularly strongly to any of the big teams, ironically all of the top three Italian teams either need or could use some fresh blood in defence.

Why is it these guys don't seem to be chased after with any conviction by the big Italian teams. It's possible to get 2 of the 3 and you'd be able to build a top defence in the future. Motta looks unlikely now, but I really think we should look to get at least Santacroce, if not Bocchetti as well.

The funny thing is that Juve is planning to sell Crisito too at least according to reports.

Yet, Milan is after Miranda, Vidic, that Brazilian LB...

I agree with you, Santacroce and Motta would be great in MIlan.

To be honest, I believe that Dinho will hit back to form. But I really doubt the other two, well maybe Pirlo here and there but certainly not Seedorf.

It is also funny how that alot of people are hoping Milan to play more like a team instead on relying on one or two players and at the same time, people hopes Dinho back to his old level.... Kind of contradicting don't you think.

The same thing happened with rossi..He came to italy saved Parma from relegation and yet nobody wanted to buy him when he was affordable for a cheap price..he kept calling milan,but only to land in villareal..

The days are gone when a young del piero or totti could just burst into the scene..Italy is still not getting over the old players..they are still very reliant on old players and have no trust fotr youngsters..

I wonder why juve calls cannavaro and sells a promising prospect like criscito..The whole of italy seem to have this problem..I hope they get ovver this issue pretty soon...

playing Italians was always the strength of serie A. but the big teams are doing different these days. We've had many italians in our last succesfull 6-7 years! But the way it is going now we wont have any left in a few years. we are always looking at foreigners, mostly brazilians! IMO we first have to look for Italians, then for Serie A players and if that is not possilbe we should look ahead.

Galliani was always so proud in stating we had so many italians in the team, and inter had none. at the moment we dont have any italian in the squad who could be a starter in 2-3 years.

Off topic real quick, BUT, when is the 2009/10 fixture list being released?

Well, a couple of Italians I would like to see in Milan are

Santacroce, Crisito, D'Agostino, Motta, Rossi and Givnco. Then with Abate, DiGennaro and Polashi being call back.

Italians who I do not like to see in Milan are

Toni, Zaccado, Baraghi, Ferrari and Iqaunita.

Come to think of it, Milan should ask Secco for Crisito and Givinco in exchange for Pirlo that will solve a lot of Milan's problems. Then sign Santacroce and D'Ago and the team will be close to complete.


Abbiatti
Zambro-T. Silva-Santacroce-Cissohko
Flamini-Gattuso-D'Ago
Givinco
Pato-Borreillo

With a bench of
Marchetti, Janku, Ambro, Nesta, Crisito, Pippo, Polashi, Abate, Di Gennaro and Dinho

Gabriel,this will never never happen,it is a dream,your formation isnt realistic,Juve will never let Giovinco go to a rival(Milan or Inter,Roma maybe)

Also,Pato just said that his future is comitted to Milan and that he wants to stay,he wants to win the C.League and Scudetto with us.

And Milan just announced that Abate will return to Milan.

Now we have two great wingers in our team.

A.C. MILAN OFFICIAL NOTE
6/24/2009
MILAN - A.C. Milan communicate they have reclaimed Ignazio Abate. The footballer returns to the Rossoneri on a permanent basis.



FINALLY some good news
