Winter Mercato 2011

Even when we get Diarra we will say the same, when we got Boateng we were like finally we have the player, same thing with Flamini.

The real solution is to get rid of Pirlo. What kind of player in todays game needs to have a bodyguard just to make him play better?

We can bring Diarra to replace Ambrosini for next year. We already have Boateng, who is not as bad as everyone's making him be. He only had 2 not so good games and everyone's jumping at him, they should do the same to Pato and Ibra then.

Flamini will be sold for SURE next summer as 3 coaches have come no matter how bad they are have not believed in him - unless he earns a starting spot soon and takes it properly.

We need to rebuild next summer with at least about 6 players of which 4 will probably start! No one to blame but the management for this mess.

Again stop thinking Lass will be the cure to all our problems. The cure will be a better coach that knows how to win - and a younger fresher team. The thing is Allegri has players like Flamini, Merkel but he is all too hard-headed with his choice selection just like Leonardo and Ancelotti before him. I dont understand.

A player like Ganso (or even Jucilei) will do us a world of good if brought in January. Even though one is more attacking than the other, both of them have the ability to connect midfield to attack. We'll see how far we will ride on luck until January.

nobody says lass wiil come to save the day,but i am 100% he will be an upgrade,and i dont agree at all that we'll be excaclty the same team,of course we need much more,but still having lass in winter mercato would help us..and thats a good and enough reason wanting him here,nth more.especcially with seedorf-flamini-boateng(maybe pirlo too,although i have high hopes one him with such a fw trio)as our current medfield.

and i dont agree with boateng part mate,i think he has been even worse than people say,nobdy wants to be hard on him just because we all hope he can be the player we all wanted some months ago..but for me he has been a walking disaster and clearly the worst on the field,worse than any full back or "pirlo",i ve said some pages back the reason and as long as he plays for himslef and has this disgusting attitude he is clearly no-milan material..although its too early to say that..

wow nobody can deny diarra would bea huge upgrade to our current mdifielders.. first off hes 25 and alot better then flamini and boateng sorry but its true.. if we get kaka and diarra bcuz they dont no whether we were talking about the kaka transfer or a diarraa transfer according to the goal acrticle, then it woul dbe great either or. both would give us a big lift after january .. huge


----pato---ibra-----
------kaka--------
-boateng-diarra-pirlo-flamini?
-abate--silva-nesta--antonini-(coentrao) (sell flamini buy coentrao)
--------amelia-------------

robinho and r80 on the bench, r80 will definitely go if we get both players but that looks alot better then our current. plus we could probly fit in those 4 strikers and play with just pirlo boateng and diarra or even ambrosini or flamini should be sold for a fullback

They play with 12 players in Toronto Mikey??

Here in Toronto no one plays at all

AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his team mate Oguchi Onyewu had a fight during today's training session at Milanello,

The Swede was tackled hard by the American defender and immediately reacted by confronting Onyewu, who quickly grabbed "Ibra" by the throat. The two players than pushed and shoved each other until they were pulled off by their team mates. Things cooled down afterwards and coach Massimiliano Allegri firmly admonished both Ibrahimovic and Onyewu, who will propably be fined in a few days. Training resumed later on.

This latest occurrence shows that there is some degree of frustration withing the team due to the recent disappointing results

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims Ibrahimovic made a dangerous sliding tackle on the United States international defender, who reacted furiously.

The news is confusing.

"Manchester United could make a £45m move for Real Madrid's Brazilian star Kaka in the summer."

We are all Kaka fans and we should be, but £45m? I know it's a rumour but really come on...if he is to return to Milan even half that is too much

I think, you are really affected by our transfer for Ibra this season.

Didn't Madrid get Kaka for much more than 45 mil pound? Ok, it was not a good standard but his price in that time was sure at least 30-35 million pound. If he is now priced at 22,5 mil pound I think it is not too much. Of course it is too much for Milan.

But anyway I agree with you. Too much money. Milan should only pay maximum 15 mil pound for Kaka.

But I prefer other player like Ganso even cost higher. I hope, our only non-EU sport will go to Ganso. Jucilei is also not a bad idea.

I've said this before: who ever returned to Milan for the 2nd spell and can be deemed just as succesful? I'm talking about returning after being sold/released of course. To my knowledge, none!


Sacchi, Capello, Gullit (I forget if he's been sold but he did come back after a very good year with Sampdoria), Marco Simone, Roberto Donadoni (he was playing in US before we took him back, it was during Capello's second stint if I'm not mistaken), or the most recent Shevchenko.


I know there's always the first time for everything, but considering Kaka's recent fitness and how important it is for his style of playing, not to mention his transfer and salary, I really don't think it's a good idea.

So I guess, Borreillo was a much better player when he came back to Milan after being sold 50%. Maybe thats what MilN should do from now on.

Personally, I think it depends on the fitness level of the player when he comes back to Milan. I think Sheva just lost all sort of confidence when he played in Chelsea, I mean he is not even lighting the Ukraine on fire. If Kaka comes back, given he is at least back to his WC2010 form, is still better than any midfielder in Milan right now. But the problem is that both Ibra and him need to be the focus of attack in order for them to shine, and as of now, I think Ibra should be the vocal point, thus leading to Kaka performing crap. Personally, I think Milan just need midfielders that actually know how to defend and
attack and not one dimensional players like Pirlo, Gattsuo, Dinho... As for fullbacks, beside Bale, name another fb that could win a game for a team at this moment or over e past years. Maybe Maicon too, but wihtout Ibra, Snejider, Milito and Eto, I doubt Maicon can do so. Point is that, having a great fb is great but teams win games not bc of Fb.

Let's not forget he wasn't wanted by Ancelotti ... That didn't help him.
Kaka' would be wanted by Allegri.

geo, I am, not saying Kaka won't do well back in Milan. What I am saying is that there are already too many playmaker in Milan with Dinho, Ibra and Pirlo. With Kaka that would make four.

I don't know, everyone would like to have Ganso, but given your point, that means Ganso couldn't be used properly in Milan too ? I mean, for you, today, we can't play with a new playmaker ?

Kaka' coming back (with a good level of course) would mean for sure that Dinho would be benched ... Pirlo, nowadays, isn't a "playmaker" anymore, I mean, not an attacking one, and Pirlo alone is no more enough as one player marking him means we don't manage to send the ball to the attacking players of the team, so I think that lets us with Ibrahimovic who is more a second striker than a playmaker.

IMO, I think a new AM like Kaka' (again, back to a good level) would be perfect for us as there would be a new link between the defence/Pirlo and the midfield/attack ... It's what we lack nowadays and it's why we often see Nesta or other defenders sending long balls to the strikers, and making us lose the ball most of the time.
