Abate is the one winger we have in the team, and has shown he has as much right as Ambro/gattuso to play in 1st team.

We need him more than Silverstri, even if we do need another wb, but not at the expense of a good young player. Take Oddo Lazio.

the most amazing thing for me about The Hunter is that he can score from EVERYWHERE. the point is, he isnt really a creative striker but he doesnt need a 'chance' to score He fires from everywhere, doesnt matter how difficult his position is.
but still, I'm a bit more reserved than dutchie-milan. I want too see him shine in the CL first!

Also dutchie you say huntelaar is more active in the general play than inzaghi or van nistelrooy. but dont you thing he HAD to do that when he was at ajax. becouse ajax most of the times plays 4-3-3 and he is there only real striker. A striker at ajax must play football and combining with the others. I think here at Milan he will be more used Pippo/RvN style...

I would LOVE to have De silvestri here, but not for Abate!! Abate had a decent pre season and I would give him a try this season. he is a player with different qualitys than the rest of the team, like you said, a winger, he could be very usefull.

Give lazio Kaladze-Oddo-Dida-Favalli and pay them 5m on top!

We dont play with wingers but with a diamond midfield,Abate wont be a starter for sure and we need a FB ASAP,of course if they would take Oddo,Kaladze in exchange for him than that would be better,but they are not stupid you know.If we want to get Di Silvestri we have to also offer a player they like,and they already said they are not interested in Oddo,and i dont think they are interested in any of our crap dead weight....so Abate is the only option,and a fb is now much more needed.

Hey you guys,not so bad for a 'static' forward he: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a52yq2V3ceo

This one you are going to love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQbNn...eature=related

I think Klaas will thrive because of Ronaldinho. He seems far more capable than Inzaghi in the ability to control awkward balls, and R80 is the king of delivering awkward passes. We'll see, but I have a feeling that those two are going to be creating lots of quick 'pass from nowhere-control shoot' goals.

I hope the management could be smart to buy De Silvestri with cash + Abate on loan, it recently worked everywhere... LOL. And direct swap with Kaladze + cash ain't too bad.

Sadly with Pirlo staying they have reason not to buy a midfielder....

I second that. Abate has shown in these pre-season matches that he can very well play as an attacking midfielder beside Pirlo. We must keep him and let him develop.

I would rather give Oddo or may be Kaladze away to Lazio for De Silvestri.

Too true. he has the lungs to play as centre mid + winger in same match, meaning we could use bonera as a stay at home rb, allowing our lb antonini/zambro to push forward more.

De Silvestri maybe a good option, but he's a sub @ Lazio ffs. It's not like we would be getting a serious upgrade on team, whilst Abate has shown that he could a vital player.

Ibrahimovic vs Huntelaar

Hope Huntelaar will fit inn with us. He seems to have moved clubs alot, do you know anything about his personal behaviour Dutchie? Professional off the field and such?

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that Abate stays. Getting De Silvestri without losing Abate can pretty much close the market for me. I know everyone wants a playmaker midfielder, but we lost Kaka and Gourcuff, so we need to give Abate the chance. He's been so impressive this pre-season, give the kid a chance.

I pray De Silvestri is true. He's an immediate starter on the left side. Not only that, but Janku can be dangerous if we push him up to midfield. He's terrible in defense, but can push up to midfield and cause some damage.

Hey guys i'm excited about this transfer? One n00b question:can he shoot from distance? Thanks in adv.

Abate for Di Silvestri is just a stupid rumour to me. Abate has shown so far that he's a valuable asset to us for the new season and would be excellent coming off the bench.

Simple answer is yes. He's fairly good at freekicks too.
