the problem ain't about players stepping up and be on form, honestly things are getting worse, milan lost their identity before we were boring, predictable and way too dependant on individual achievements but at least we had ball possession, nowadays we still the same but we are being dispossessed in every chance we are trying to create. i have a huge respect for Leonardo but this is not his job, milan needed a better coach. i almost watched all the pre-season and nothing really looks promising i am not saying Leo is not a good coach but with the current squad we have,

i really can't figure out anything i always supported the management and backed their decisions but to downgrade your team is something different, i would really like milan to be sold its no longer acceptable, i mean for godsake what will berlusconi say when juve hammer us. its more than stressful to watch milan, and more than disgusting to listen to galliani and berlusconi, i really hand it to them, if you wanna hate football support milan.

we need at least 6 new players, not the youngsters type galliani prefers. if favalli is a direct replacement for you starting cb, what more can you expect?

we need two full backs and a cb. box to box midfielder and an attacking midfielder . maybe with those reinforcements we might be able to win locally and and maybe semi final champions league

I was just saying this in the friendly's thread :

It just has to be to good to be true

Well the article does claim that we'll sell Pirlo aswell, so in that case it would be 'only' be 15'ish M euro.

And don't be fooled by what Galliani says, the economy at Milan is among the best in the world for football clubs, it's just that they're not willing to take loans to invest in players like everyone else. Besides Berlusconi does have that kind of money floating around.

Anyways, would be pretty damn awesome if we signed Fabregas, but regardless, even if we don't sign him perhaps we'll see another big signing on Monday, it wouldn't be to unlikely and it would be typical Berlusconi.

Fabregas alone is not enough.
We need to get rid of the deadweight and like someone said here, we need 6 new quality players.......a total reconstruction.

Next season, we might be getting somewhere though.

i assume that we will sign a significant, expensive player on monday, but it won't be fabregas

I didn't watch Trofeo Tim, but I'm officially worried now. I really was optimistic, OK, pre-season doesn't have to mean anything, but we simply lost ALL matches! I came with some conclusions:

- Leonardo is there just to pick up the dust;

- Ronaldinho needs to play as good as last season, but CONSISTENTLY. As I cannot imagine this happening, we truly need an attacking midfielder. Van Der Vaart could jump in, not because he's something special (which he ain't), but because he'll come cheap and for that amount of money (I was thinking about ~10 mil. of euros or less) you can't get a decent player;

- Seedorf is good but he isn't consistent and there are question marks over his motivation too, so we need a backup, Hernanes would be good;

- We didn't have a good side back on a log term since Kaladze got injured and suddenly lost his qualities (2003.). I lost my faith in Antonini now, he simply isn't good enough;

- And the keeper. Since G & B think that team can succeed without a world-class keeper, because we didn't have a world-class keeper since Berlusconi took the club, there no point discussion it. I'll just say that Roma is awful.

And, roughly, that's it. If we want to fight for Scudetto, we have to find Ronaldinho's replacement at least. Because, truth to be told, Inter and Juventus are nothing special either.

If we want to fight for champions league, this year and the years to come, we have to spend roughly 60 million of euros on AM, LF and CM.

And, yet, Leonardo has to prove himself as a good choice and Huntelaar have to prove he's not another Gilardino.

Guys 6 new players in one team only works on fifa manager cause that game is **** . It will take months for the team to properly gel and the results could prove to be catastrophic .

And we only need 3 not 6 . Two full backs and a creative midfielder is all that we need.

St:Pato,Hunt
Mf : New player,Dihno,Flamini,Gatusso,Abate or Seedorf
Def: 2 new fullbacks ,Nesta&Silva.

3 new players ,proper tactics&motivation and we can challenge for the title till the last day ,and why not Win the damn thing .

Reading this thread, it just occurred to me that the fact we're even discussing this Fabregas transfer proves how desperate we are. If this had been a "normal" summer with 2-3 big name signings, then we'd be laughing about this rumor.

Last night's games left me feeling completely deflated. Even my buddy, who's a Juventino, said: "Man, I hope Milan get their act together soon. This is just sad to watch."

Basically this is last season's Milan, just without Kaka. We are screwed.

do you really watch football?

you need a goal keeper . abbiati is good but don't get carried away. the backup gks are just morons

favalli, gooch, kaladze are not good enough bonera always injured.
janku antonini oddo . no comments
gattuso ambrosini seedorf ronnie pirlo, decline, its normal age injuries motivations.
borriello i dont know. long injury, not sharp enough
inzaghi 37 have mercy on him.
and honestly do you truly believe we will have injury free season?

am sure if you watched milan recently you would understand, watching the highlights is tricky.

Yesterday's display was pathetic. However, it has a lot to do with Leonardo. We are not even playing at a mediocre level. While it is true that pre-season should not be used to judge everything, it cannot be completely ignored. We have been woeful in pre-season. Even if the signings come in now, Leonardo is so wet behind the ears that he would need at least half a season to work out a winning formula.

Also, Serie A has gotten far more competitive this year as well. The likes of Napoli and Genoa have strengthened, while Juve were impressive yesterday--and they were without Diego! We could realistically finish in 6th place.

Our transfer season has been a D- so far. Our pre-season has been an F.

It is looking extremely grim.

I didn't say we should buy 6 players now so we could win the scudetto right away.
But right now Milan has just a few quality players (Flamini, Pato, Gattuso, Nesta, Pirlo) and some other who also have quality, but are expected to go downhill due to their "non resistance to aging" exe. Zambro, Inzaghi, Seedorf, (Beckham), Kaladze, also Nesta and Gattuso

edit. fellow Lebanese said it better

Ronnie is a big big questionmark

So, we buy 3 new guys this summer and 3 more for the next season and then we're OK.............in my opinion

Abbiati is good enough, there are only 3 gk that are on world class level and does are : Buffon,Cassilias&Cech ,and neither of them will be available any time soon ,if ever.

favalli, gooch, kaladze ,janku ,antonini , oddo- yes dumb ass u just listed squad players &i listed for starting 11 : 2 new full backs +Nesta and Silva.

Read for mf and st again also.

Btw i watched Milan a lot so stop talking out of ur ass .

MARCHETTI, lloris , mandana, felipe, viviano , those are good gk too, but in fifa manager the 3 gks you mentioned above are worth buying.

Its a lot and lol about trying to make a point whit a game .And here il make it simple for u : u live in a country were u don`t have football ,and i live in Romania and i go to matches week in week out ,so yeah i think i watch a little more football then u.

As for the tongue ,if u come up whit stuff like "do you watch football" etc and expect me to respond politely ,well keep dreaming .
