Summer mercato 2009

he's not good enough for milan, nor will ever be. he's all hype, no substance. If we're talking about croatian players, i'd much rather have srna.

Stitch, how do you rate Corluka?

If we're realistic, we need a lot more than even what you mentioned. We need a CB, two fullbacks (minimum of 1 assuming Zambro is still ok), a two way midfielder, a creative midfielder/attacker and a powerful striker as I really don't have great faith in Borri. That's if we're sticking with what we're playing atm. If we're looking to go 4-3-3 then that midfielder/attacker would be naturally wide, which is why I mentioned Van Persie being ideal in my last post.

i strongly disagree with every sentence on this post..he is a really quality player especially for his age,he has gr8 vision which makes him all substance..as i wrote on my last post he would be perfect for us,and for our game's pace..

I know we wont get all of that.

Im not sure we need all of it either.

Our 4 strikers are great, it doesnt really get better than Boriello as a 4th choice striker. Pippo is Pippo, Pato is Pato and we need to trust in Huntelaar.

Zambro is still ok, so we only need one fullback. A centre back would be nice.

Midfield - Who even knows anymore? If Ronnie plays well then the midfield is adequate, if not then we could do with a playmaker. Otherwise, the blend we have of battlers, creative players and Abate to add pace is ok I suppose.

Beggars cant be choosers. If we do get any more money spent this summer, then Id be devastated if it were spent on a player like Van Persie where we are covered already. Im desperate for the defence to be reinforced.

Full-time and they lose 2-1. Played some entertaining stuff though, just couldn't convert them into goals. Sound familiar?

Haha. So you figure them making the Europa league will be a bit better than Milan will do then?

Modrić is good enough for Milan. Today he was arguably man of the match against Liverpool. I would rather have him than Pirlo... He maybe doesn't have Pirlo's technique but he is a complete midfielder. He is quick, defensively good, he never stops running, very good passing, his shot is getting better. But unfortunately he is too expensive for Milan.

Ćorluka is also very good. Not slow (although when you look him running he looks a bit slow), brilliant technique for defender, plays right back, also he can be centre back... He is much, much better than any Milan full back, except Zambrotta of course.

But with many croatian players there is problem of price.. Srna would cost much more than he is worth just because he is in Shakhtar and Ahmetov doesn't want to sell him for little money. Ćorluka should be cheaper.

I watched this guys many times (in Croatian league, Croatian national team, and in Man City and then Tottenham...) so I know them...

Yes i also agree that we need more players than 2 backs, the team is like an old car with many problems.
If Nesta is ok with Tiago playing we can have a nice DC duo, in midfield with Pirlo,Gattuso,Abate,Ambro,Janku,R80, and Seedorf i think we have a lot of power to fill the midfield area,not great but just good. In attack well with Pato,Hunter,Pippo and Borrielo i think we are also not great but OK.

In fullbacks position, i can tell you that (my opinion) Zambro is not good for Milan, he is not the Zambro of the past, he makes many wrong passes,not the old good crosses,he makes foolish sprints loosing a lot of energy for nothing, plus he is old.
In LB position we are dead, we have nothing there, the team is very weak over there.
My opinion if we want many changes, the first two players must be 1 Lb and 1 RB.

Relax bro. Believe it that we won't make it thrice at the end of August.

He's more like a winger?

Btw, are we (and all clubs) inactive in transfer window at weekends? I'm eagerly waiting Monday night, can't wait what will Berlu present to us. It should have been something big, or else, or maybe nothing...

Leonardo:

"...if from now until 31 August there will be a new arrival, it will be minor."

so there will be no fabregas or any other player who is more expensive than 10 milions

Zambro was the best performer last season compared to another new signings at that time such as Borriello, Flamini, Ronaldinho, not to mention Sheva and Senderos.

acmilan.com..... the best possible source

http://www.acmilan.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=88990


in this article he also said that our formation for this season will be 4-3-1-2, because he cannot develop his 4-3-3 formation (with wingers)...because we don't have them heh

thats probably the best plan... it suits dinho and pato more than the 4-3-3 does now imo... the problem is that it doesnt work without effective FB's

i think that the best position which suits dinho is LF, and LF doesn't exist in 4-3-1-2
