They should have sold some of their crap and bought dzeko...With all do respect for Del Piero (i'm a big fan of his)... I think he's holding them back....

Diego sale was biggest mistake...and probably amauri/iaquinta/del piero are not good enough strikers for that team...

Let's hope Allegri is smarter than Del Neri...

I agree about Diego, but I think the formation you wrote is still not good enough (who scores ?) ... They've got a good defence, so they could ask to their defenders to keep their positions to be solid no matter what happens, and play an attacking minded game with:

Marchisio (Sissoko/Melo)
Krasic (Pepe) - Diego - Quagliarella (Pepe/Krasic)
Amauri (Quag) - Iaquinta (Del Piero)

If their 4 defenders kept staying in defence, it could have been an interesting team (IMO, Quagliarella can't be counted as a pure striker nor a second striker, he moves a lot but doesn't score nor assist a lot).

Our youth product at Monaco, Aubameyang scored today.

Check out the goal here. It's the second goal in the video.

I'm quite excited for our youth coming up. Strasser, Merkel, Verdi, Aubameyang, De Vito, Paloschi, and others all seem to be developing nicely.

You;re right. Bottom line is I don't really like their team.. that's the best formation I'd come up with ..considering what they have but their offensive does not have much. Quagliarella I think was a Mistake. Di Natale would have been better...or a Hamsik (although hes not for sale)

As far as I know, we loan him with the option to buy for the french club, not a good deal IMO even bad deal.

in Italy, the 12m + tax(50%) would be 24m, however Ibra has lowered his ages in Milan to 8m, which means Milan pays 16m, this basically means Milan pays the SAME amount as Barca paid Ibra, but Ibra gets less than what he got in Spain because of taxes....

I believe the 50% tax rule is not there for contracts after January 2010 ! it exists only for old contracts. which makes even more sense for milan to offload kala, janku etc !

Didn't see the goal, but it's the second goal of Aubameyang this season after the one he scored last week end in Lens.

Pierre Aymeric Aubameyang seems to be the most promising Aubameyang of the 3 brothers (they are 3 ?).

Depending on this season, he could have a role to play sooner or later in Milan (but do Milan really count on him ?).

I'm not sure of the origin of wage.

What about LEVY Tony explain that travesty to me...lol

Serie A is coach exporting league, like Brasilian league is a player exporting one

Milan seem to be playing a 4-2-3-1:

-----------Abbiati----------------
Bonera-T.Silva-Nesta-Antonini
------Pirlo--Ambrosini----------
----------Seedorf--------------
Pato-------------------Ronaldinho
------------Borriello-------------

Pato and Ronaldinho simply look UN-PLAYABLE... Ronaldino will get a 10!

I can't believe how they're burning every Lecce defender..

Pirlo, Ambro, Pato, Ronaldinho, Defense EXCELLENT

Borriello and Seedorf MERDA

If we will use this system.. BUY VDV or Honda...as Seedorf looks to be tripping over his own feet.. he's too static..

Borriello also not good enough..can't wait to see Ibra replace him..will be scary

According to Milanews Kaladze has already done medical examinations with Genoa, tomorrow should be the official announcement look like he is on loan and that Milan will pay him half of salary

That means new non-EU fullback?

Nah I don't think there's a chance of signing another Fullback..and probably not any new players...I think with Huntelaar leaving the Mercato is closed.

I think Ambrosini and Pirlo are FIXTURES in the 3 man midfield.. the third spot is up for grabs (Flamini, KPB, Seedorf, Strasser)....

The offence was amazing and defense had Niente to do....can't wait for Next week..

p.s. HAPPY KALADZE IS GONE..great deal..Loan deal we pay half his wages...

Bocchetti from Genoa to Rubin Kazan. Official.
