Summer mercato 2009

in my opinion abbiati is in the top 10 of goalies in world football, also i think the top 5 are in no particular order

buffon 19/20
cesar 18/20
casillas 18/20
reina 17/20
cech 15/20

although the top 4 are quite a bit ahead of cech

the only problem with abbiati is the fact that he his injured at the moment he his good enough to keep no1 status at milan. I can't see the benefit of spending millions on buffon julio cesar or frey we might as well plan for the future and buy a player like diego lopez or marchetti or amelia, admittedly inter success has been down to a talented goal keeper and ibra but the affect has been that toldo is awful.

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 .

romania? no disrespect but if country counts, romania is good exporting stripers so don't get me started.

lebanese that was sooo rude buddy..

and its not the first time you re saying sth like this for a foreign to you country,i remember your fight with boring too..its not nice..

you should control your nerves more,az was talking about football only..

Why does everone think we are going to announce a player on Monday? It's the Trofeo Berlusconi, so what?

The Fabregas news from Goal.com is just, well.........Goal.com......crap. They want us to wet our beds over Fabregas, but we know we can't sign a world-class player.

i can easily find a lot more than 10 better than abbiati,but the thing is that he is not just worse than buffon or cesar(juve,inter),he is miles behind them..

i have a feeling that fabrgas is not that unrealistic,there are so many rumors today about him..i wish we got him and not sell pirlo..

we could then use rino-flamini-fabregas and one ofpirlo-seedorf-dinho in the medfield,and with a lb(are there any decent lbs left anymore btw?) we could have a gr8 11..still we would need a center back and a golie for me,but i d be happy with those too(fabregas+lb) without any departures..

we have 35mil to spend..actually we have a lot more,but i dont want t start with that now..

me 2, and I've visited many italian and english football websites. this news is BS!

2 of my friends studying in italy told me that they heard it on radio and on tv,its 15 of august todayand if i am not wrong,its a holy day for catholic people(its is for orthodox for sure,but i am not sure for catholics) so people dont work..thats why you dont see it in italian sites..

i first read it on goal.com and tribalfootbal(both crap i know)..

just hope everybody just hope what else can we do?

Yes, let's wish for the best that we sign Fabregas.

Personally I don't see any truth in this. Wenger has already said that he won't sell Fabregas to Barca just before the season starts, so I don't see him selling Fabregas to Milan after the season has started.

As for Pirlo, it has already been said that he's been taken off the market, not that he can't go back on the market, but the way he spoke a week or so ago about finishing his career at Milan... I just don't see him going.

First. I love fabregas and if it happened I'd jump for joy but the truth is this won't make us a better team cause fabregas is just a younger version of pirlo. What this team is missing is players who are able to beat there man with the dribble.
from midfield or defense. We have passers lots of fine passers, pirlo, seedorf, ronnie. But really only kaka could beat his man. Now we have abate who can somewhat but his technique is also limited and he's a work in progress

Management seems to thnk well see a return to ronnie of old but despite all his free kicks, vision and passes he just doesn't have the burst of pace to beat a man anymore.

Now compare this to say Milan best attacking team, we had cafu and serginho on flanks. Seedorf back then could beat his man thru the middle and kaka. All these options plus sheva made it easy for pirlo to sit deep and just pass. Now we just have a team of pirlos who can pass... But pass to who??

Compared to barca and man utd winners of last 2 ucls or he'll even inter were severly lacking. Those teams had 4 or 5 players capable of making an effective run on or off ball... We literally only have abate and he's not really started quality anymre. That's y players like fab or hernanes won't necessarily enhance us as much especially if we don't get bale or a van der vaart

Btw samaldinho I think you are too harsh on pato. I do agree 1 day hell be a 1st striker but for now he's best suited as a second. Remember he was in great form when he played with pippo. He picked up 6 assists, not bad for a 19 year old with developing game....

I think of course he ideal partner would have been ibrahimovic. Someone who can switch between 1st and second with him but thaw just a dream

Finally dru said this and I think there's some truth. He gets the ronaldo comparison but Isnt sheva more accurate?? He likes to run out wide at defenders. He's still only 19 too... Despitebeing a prodigy he does need time to grow, and who knows what hell be at 23 or 25?!?!

Fabregas is not coming. He's playing against Everton and just supplied a sweet pass to Denilson for a goal :P

I gotta agree with M84. We don't seem to have to players that can blow past opponents anymore, Pato may have the ability to, but he needs an extra yard of space to control, which is quite hard to get in Serie A. Ronnie has the technique, but does not have the speed to do it anymore. The only one I've seen that has been able to outpace opponents has been Abate, and once the opponents realize this, you can be sure that he'll be marked closely. We need more options up front, and players that can actually get past markers, or at least have the pace to.
