Summer mercato 2009

Drenthe is a great player,many of us are wanting a player who is very dynamic and explosive,he is the perfect player of that,he has the same agressiveness as Edgar Davids,he is fast and very skillfull,also he is maybe small but like R.Carlos,he is very phisiqually strong,he really is a beast.

But its true that he isnt a LB really,because in defense he isnt that strong IMO,wich is a pitty,but in attack oh boy....he really would be what we needed at midfield,his explosiveness is really impressing and he could be the heir of Seedorf.I hope he comes,its not a coincedence that from all Dutch players,only he(and maybe Sneijder)is having lots of playing time in the pre-season of Madrid.

The coach believes in him because he has great attributes and is hard working,i would welcome him,even if he would play as a Fullback wich isnt really his position,at least he would be better then Janku.And he is the player who runs up and down the flank for the full 90 minutes,he would be a great purchase.'

As for the Flavio Roma purchase,it was a great deal,releasing Kalac and signing a goalie who is ten times better then him is great.

Roma is better then Storari,Kalac AND Dida,acctually Dida is better but Roma is way more consistent,if Dida plays you dont know what will happen,he sometimes delivers WC performances,wich is normal because he once was one of the best,but sometimes he gives horror shows....

Roma gives consistent performances and is a very decent goalie as backup,he did a great job at Monaco,really glad we got him,with him against Inter i am not afraid because he can do a great job. Here is something from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZo2kBfE_pg

Finally we have a good first goalkeeper(Abbiati)and a very decent second goalkeeper(Flavio Roma).

hey dutchie! lol need some spark in a attack? bring in a dutch lol,i hope robben,sneijder,VDV,drenthe anyone of those comes the fact is WE REALLY NEED A ATTACKING MIDFIELDER!

ITALY/ AC MILAN, Beckham set to return

Source: milannews.it


Sources close to AC Milan and David Beckham's entourage are claiming that the English ace will return to AC Milan. Apparently, AC Milan GM Adriano Galliani already has an agreement with Beckham and he is working on another loan deal. Beckham could join AC Milan before the end of this month on loan instead of waiting for his contract with the LA Galaxy to expire at the end of the year. He would than sign for the Italian club on a permanent basis


hmmm?

Some not so good news re Rino and his knee, in the last couple of paragraphs:

@ least we have Flamini....

Glad to have Roma for the derby...crucial that our defense is confident about the shot-stopper.

I would love drenthe. Every time i see him he impressed me. His defence isn't that great but he has a lot of athleticism to recover and he can improve here.

Drenthe would be a great addition. I wonder when Abbiati will be ready. It might end up being quite a long-term injury from the looks of it, otherwise there might not be a need to upgrade from Kalac to Roma, because with Abbiati fit, they will be our 3rd string keepers.

Seems like Storari might start and Roma and DIda may have to fight it out to be number 2---at least until Abbiati comes back.

what do u think which players will be in our first 11 for the derby game ??

will seedorf play ? flamini ? ambro ? jankulovski ?

im only certain that pato,ronaldinho,pirlo,nesta,thiago

for other 6 players i think that nobody can know except leonardo.... or ?

if the game was tomorrow i would play:

-----storari------
zambro-nesta-ts--antonini
--rino-pirlo-flamini
-----------dinho
----pato----
-----hunter---

if dinho keeps behaving unprofessionally i would play seedorf there..
antonini>>>marek,but i still hope we get another full back..

ps of course i am sure nesta wont play 50 games,so we need another cb too..

and because of my lack of trust in dinho i think we may need a medfilder too..

Oh my god bLOND !-,-!. With the exclamation marks in your username and all those question marks in your post, I'm starting to get flashbacks of Jure again.

In fact, you are asking about our best possible line-up....hmmm, i think I know where you might be able to find the answer.....

i dont think that leo will give a starting place to antonini over jankulovski, then there is flamini/ambro/seedorf question, maybe abate too, and roma or storari

god i knew you would like drenthe....

he doesnt impress me, but he is young and real madrid is a mess. I Think Bale is better. ALso drenthe is only 5-5 (167cm).... thats super tiny for a lb

He is small,but so was R.Carlos and Edgar Davids,they were also small but still phisyqually very strong,Gattuso isnt tall either,but also very strong.

Its the same story at Drenthe,he is a little man,but he is filled with agressiveness,explosiveness and dynamic.He is also very strong at the ball.So the height isnt a problem.

when i mention drenthe everyone shut me down, now that we are linked with him everyone seems to have a sudden change of heart.

I SAID LAST YEAR TODAY. WHICH MEANS AUG OF 2008. WHERE SANTON WAS STILL PLAYING BEHIND ALBERTAZZI in the U20 team

i think drenthe is not the right choice for a lb,he cannot defence at all and he forgets to stand on his place(on the back) when needed,which is really important for full backs..although offensively he has a lot of quality,he needs to mature alot so as to be a starter..

how comes you like so many dutch players???
