Have you even seen him play?

Firstly his name is Di Silvestri.
Secondly, he is a right back so wouldnt play on the left.
Thirdly, he isnt an immediate stater at Lazio so why would he be one at Milan?

Di Silvestri can play on both sides I believe, and you're right there's nothing too special about him.


Berlusconi: "Dopo l'arrivo del grande attaccante, credo che la nostra squadra non sia seconda a nessuna. L'anno scorso abbiamo subito tanti in*cidenti, a un certo punto ave*vamo anche 11 infortunati. E quando ci si mette la sfortuna non c'è nulla da fare. La squa*dra ha il compito di essere pro*tagonista in Italia e in Europa, come sempre...".

translation: after the arrival of a great striker, i believe that our squad is second to none. Last year we had alot of incidents, at a certain point we had 11 injuries. The squad is going to be a protagonist in italy and in europe, like always.

His name is Lorenzo De Silvestri.

The rest is true, but he has played 47 games in the last three seasons. Also, anyone is better than our Oddo.

I tried to look at him some years ago after playing FM (maybe 2007) as I bought him in each game I played. De Silvestri is a good RB and he is an improvement over Oddo and, if used in this position, Antonini.

Anyway, he isn't a RB who will attack like Cafu was, he is a more defensive RB.

If we get De Silvestri ... People tend to want Janku to play like a midfielder, why not trying that with Antonini too ? He has grinta, he moves a lot, maybe too much for a fullback (tends to be out of position), so maybe a role of DM/CM could suit him. Furthermore, he is physically strong enough to play there ...

-His name is Lorenzo De Silvestri. It is a fallacious argument though.
-We can shift Zambrotta on the right side and make him play on the left. Zambrotta can play on the right like he did during the WC06.
-De Silvestri is not the starter because Lichtsteiner has been playing well. He could well be a starter in any other mid-level Italian club. He has shown his talent before and if he is give time to mature and develop, he can become a very good FB. Also, Lazio want to get rid of him so he will come cheap aroung 6-8 million euros. Lotito also has good relations with Galliani so I don't see any hindrances in buying him.

Why ? De Silvestri is a RB, Zambrotta can play on both sides ... why using Zambrotta on the right and put De Silvestri on the left when you can just use De Silvestri in his usual position and Zambrotta on the left side ??

Milan have announced the signing of Real Madrid striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar.

Earlier this morning Rossoneri general manager Adriano Galliani confirmed that an agreement had been reached with Real Madrid for the frontman, and the official confirmation has now arrived.

A statement on Milan's official website reads:

"A.C. Milan communicate they have reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the purchase of striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

"The Dutch footballer will be subjected to the medical checks tomorrow, after which he will sign a contract which will keep him at the Rossoneri club until 30 June 2013."

Goal.com understands that Huntelaar has signed a four-year contract with the San Siro club. The transfer fee Milan have paid Real Madrid is believed to be €15 million.

This represents Milan's first significant signing of the summer. The Italian giants had made no secret of their intention to buy a top-class striker, and they will now be hoping that Huntelaar proves to be that man.

The 25-year-old, who only joined Real Madrid from Ajax in January for €20m, scored eight goals in 20 games for the Blancos before being deemed surplus to requirements following the return as president of Florentino Perez this summer.

De SIlvestri is not better than Antonini, and would just be useful if only to push Oddo further from a starting eleven place.

We should really have gone for Motta.

Yes, I have seen him play quite a few times. I remember him being Pato's thorn-in-the-side last year when we played Lazio (probably the only good thing Lazio had that entire day).

Milannews.it has Milan looking at either De Silvestri OR Drenthe

i say, lets go dutch. drenthe, afellay and babel. (all 3 wont even cost 20 mil) then we can spend the rest on santacroce.

Anyone know where D'Allesandro is playing these days and what his form is like?

I'm sure I read earlier on milannews that Oddo and Kaladze may want to leave. If true SELL THEM, SELL THEM NOW!!
