I want a job: being the assistant of Raiola (and slowly taking his place ahah) !!
I'm sure the salary must be high ...

PS: And it seems you can work in short/T-Shirt with him, I saw the video when he arrived in Barcelona ...

you can be my agent then, on a serious note its normal for agents to take between 10 and 15% of a deal, but the reasons most deals fail is from agents fees, one player Anderson De Silva's agent wanted 30% of a deal! how flippin greedy is that! my dads friend told me this (hes a professional footballer )

None of these guys can play in Seedorf's position. The reason why Seedorf was so good was because he had the same creativity as these guys, but he also had the tactical understanding, willingness to defend and strength.

These guys are all playmakers/ wingers. With the front 3 that are never going to defend, we need players who will help the fullbacks. Schneider is a bit of a pitbull and works hard for the team, but hes gone. Hernanes seemed like a box to box player, but hes gone. Asamoah Gyan is another, but we aren't even linked. Maybe Ganso at Christmas - he might be cheaper now he is injured, or is he too attacking too??

Agree... There are 2 players(one we were linked) in Brazil that have the skills to do Seedorf role imo. One is Arouca, that imo is a defensive version(little less skilled) of Seedorf, and Jucilei, that is playing a lot as LDM. Just to thrown some names...

I feel like Inzaghi has been given new life by Allegri, against Lecce he was so active, I remember that one shot that was like a canon that missed the post just barely. But, you can argue that Lecce was a 4-0, his goal against Barca was magical. I think Allegri made a choice, Inzaghi is his backup to Ibra and Pato is capable of playing CF, and he needs subs for his wingers.

I just remember long periods of time last year where we forced Huntelaar to play as a SS or RWF, and clearly we want to preserve Pato and I don't see how getting Robinho would do anything, but help us preserve Pato and Ronaldinho, as well as provide us a great creative offensive option from the bench.

As far as our midfield goes, I'm not so sure I would want a midfielder. Allegri has big plans for Flamini and Boateng and those are two young and hungry players. Plus, I think there are human beings in this squad, and Gattuso and Ambro must be respected. Part of being a great manager is understanding these personal relationships and understanding what will get the best out of the team. Gattuso is clearly one of those locker room forces, so I can understand why getting a midfielder may not be the biggest priority.

Yes.. I'm not at all worried.. Inzaghi would then be Ibra's direct replacement. I don't know why everyone is all of a sudden crying over Borriello leaving. His stay reminded me of Gilardino's. a good backup nothing more. Unfortunately, I think Inzaghi at 37 is a BETTER super-sub than Borriello. He was so good last night. He'll always be fresh too as he won't be a starter. If Ibra were to go down, you have Pato who can CLEARLY play Striker. Robinho would then move to Pato's spot.

As for Borriello deal, I heard it's been agreed upon at €2M Loan. Option to buy at end of Year for €13 Million. Good deal. Sell Huntelaar now and next option should be a FB, or a midfielder such as Honda.

Lastly, there is no "DIRECT REPLACEMENT" for Seedorf. He's a one of a kind player. He's very old school tactically and technically, and Serie A is that kind of league, which is why KPB worried me. Hopefully he'll find it nicely. I still think Keisuke Honda is a great buy for about €12-13 M...

Lastly, Juventus... I just feel bad. I do not think they will do anything this year. Very poor management. I wish Inter, Roma, Genoa, Juventus, Sampdoria are all good..so this year is a great year and we beat Great teams. I don't want to beat teams who are awful.

i want us to beat all teams who play us.

He should be a bench player, the closer so to speak when Milan is up by a goal and he comes in and destroy the other team midfields....Bit not starter, as Flamini and Bpatengg/Ambro should start over him.
As for Slowdorf, he is another sub, that way even when he plays like crap-almost allmthe time, except for his period every month, the damage will be minimum.

HAHAHA very true about Slowdorf...

Agree on this.

Disagree on Speedorf!!

On Boriello, I don't think anybody is crying. Rather, we are appreciating a player that worked hard for us and gave us the physical strength that Gila never did. Unlike Gila who scored his goals and did nothing else, Boriello scored his own goals, helped others score theirs, did the donkey work that Ronnie, Pato and Inzaghi don't want to, and headed away countless corners.

Thanks Borriello, you were/are great!

If we do get Robinho, then either him or dinho will have to be benched. If we play all for IbraPaRoRo then we will have a very unbalanced team. None of them track back or assist defensively.

Agreed.. Boriello did a great Job.. and he should be saluted as a Milanista. I wish him luck as Juventus although it will be very tough there. He should start with Quagliarella for sure..but with 20 Defensive Midfielders there there's no creativity...

For Seedorf, I also salute him. Obviously he's a Legend at Milan for years and helped us win Champions League. He's technically unbelieveable and we'll always remember him. However, I think he's finished/near finished. I think a player like HONDA although not as strong can be lively, creative, and a box to box midfielder. Schweinsteiger also but he'll never leave best club in Germany to go to Italy.

Also, as HITMAN says, Honda will have us reaping so many benefits as it will open HUGE doors to the Asian markets just like Park ji Sung has done for MANU...

Honda ain't gona track back.

If Robinho comes, I hope he won't say he is pleased to join Inter ...

Bologna-Inter just started.

Inter don't look so good.
They away jerseys are ugly.

I can't really see Huntelaar getting a real chance in the first team this season either, unless we have a lot of injuries... Especially if Robinho also comes.
