Summer mercato 2009

Pirlo should be replace by Hernanes! Also seedorf should be replaced!! that would give us a fresh start. add a striker and a fullback and were fine

Pirlo was recovering from a injury last season. he will do much better this coming season. and if we get rid of him, do you honestly feel that the management will get a better player, or just another player? pirlo should be kept

I´m not advocating to get rid of him, Pirlofan...but I don´t want him to be the owner of that position. I want competition for the starting place.

Since you´re in USA(hope that you are, and follow NFL and NCAA Football), it´s was one of the reasons to what happened to my Miami Hurricanes. In Larry Coker era we didn´t have that old competition for the starting spots that make The U so famous. In the near past we´ve got Ed Reed at safety, but with Sean Taylor and after that, B. Meriweather breathing at neck of the starter wanting playing time.

Now we have Pilro and Seedorf with no competition...only Gattuso and Ambro have a Flamini to worry. These guy know they can´t be benched.

Regarding Pirlo injure... He said at the begining of the season that would not play until he´s feel healthy again(fair enough). ..and thats was the reason for him to only coming back in January. I still remember him saying that was 100% again after the winter break. So, I expected more of him...and I´m not even talking about his performances in 2007/08.

I want someone to fight for Pirlo and Seddorf(like Flamini is doing right now) place because in the last 2 seasons they are underperforming a lot

(i am a big NFL/NCAA fan too) i agree totally with what you are saying about competition. We have made 80mil from selling Kaka and Gorcuff, there is no reason whatsoever that we cant buy Hernandes and let him fight with the older players for playing time. I just don't think we should offload all of our class players in the process

The reason why Pirlo is not getting bash like Seedorf is b/c Seedorf really really really sucks. Pirlo at least link the defense to the attack. And also people are less harsh on Pirlo than Seedorf for some odd reason, me included. I don't know why, but I really don't want to see Seedorf plays for Milan anymore, but I really don't mind Pirlo playing.

The thing is that if Leo is really going to play 4-3-3. Then Pirlo must go b/c he is not suited to play that style.

i personally dont really think we have the players for the 4-3-3. i tend to find the 4-3-1-2 more tailored to our players
-------Abs-------
Antonini--Nesta--Silva--Zambrotta
---Gattuso--Pirlo--Flamini
---------Dinho----(he still worries me however_
----Boriello---Pato-----

whatever formation we play, we lack talent!
without a creative midfielder, a striker/winger/second striker and a fullback I dont see us having a great season... and I dont think we can reach CL football with this team

So, seriously people, how many of you still believe in the MGMT?
How many of you are willing to wait because transfer season ends in late August and we have plenty of time?
...remember? That's how we got Nesta.

And how many think that if we sold Sheva and won CL, we can be competitive again after Kaka?

How many of you believe in the Dinho?

How many still believe that Seedorf will suddenly rediscover his youth?

I have 0 faith in the management TBH!
And this team CANT win the CL or scudetto, we simply lack class.
I believe ronaldinho can do much better than last season, and he is my hope for this season. but it is only hope, becouse he still has a looooong way to go to reach his barca level days... wich, I'm afraid, he wont reacht. but he will do better than last season.

and seedorf = Finished/Lazy!!! maybe some competition would do him good! if we sign someone who benched him for half the games he could do great in those games he plays.

Thats exactly how Milan played for the past few years with an inform Kaka.

To be honest, if thats how Leo is going to play, then why fire Carlo?

Maybe if we get someone....hmmm...extra class on the right wing (Robben or someone like him, but healthy), well - just get the picture, and put Ronnie on the opposite flank like he played in Barca.
Then those two could represent a playmaker, with Pato in the front.

Then, We fill the midfield with Flamini, Gattuso and someone adequate defensively and with pace.

Defense with Nesta, Thiago, Zambro and...hmmm... I'll pray that someone from the youth department explodes wouldn't be bad at all.

So:

---------------GK-------------

Zambro---Nesta---Thiago---LB

---Gattuso--Flamini--Hernanes

Robben--------------Ronaldinho

-------------Pato------------


I don't like the idea with AMC in the middle because with these players, we have nothing to offer.

I think this team would be a bit competitive, not saying we would wipe the floor with everyone, but.........

Because he earns less then Carlo

Messi is under 23 lol

My God Diego is fantastic, just scored a great goal for Juve. How do we sell Kaka before, securing this guy, unbelivable.
