ALBERTO GILARDINO E' DEL MILAN!
18/07/2005 MILANO - Ufficiale! Alberto Gilardino al Milan! Il giocatore, ancora prima dell'annuncio, si è collegato in diretta con Milan Channel: 'Sono molto contento, è stata una trattativa lunga che fortunatamente si è risolta per il meglio. Di questa squadra mi affascina tutto: la società, la storia, i grandi giocatori che ne fanno parte. Perchè ho scelto il Milan? Perchè è il club più forte in campo europeo e per me è un grande onore vestire questa maglia'. acmilan.com |

This is a bit unusual, but I was asked to re-open this thread and here is part of the request:
"I'd like to re-open this thread in response to those who are harshly criticizing him now. You see... the sentiment has changed and I'd like for them to explain their earlier reasons for supporting him til now with their condemnations..." I considered it an unusual request yes, but then I remembered the Gila's arrival was touted as beign a good thing. We'll try this and see what happens. If things get out of hand, it will be closed.

Thank you Debs. It was my request and would ask you all for some comments regarding what is happening now and what has changed the minds of some. Some of you still support Gila now and back then, yet others have done a total 180 degree turn. Those with a different opinion of him now, I ask you now for an explanation.
Keep the debate clean is all that I ask.

Good one indead! I wasn't around here when this opened but I will love to see the reasons as i support Gila more now than I did last season! I always liked him, but since he is the "reason" for milan's bad form, the Gila-jinx as some say, i feel for the lad and I don't feel that he should be getting all the blame! But he has my support through and through and I know he can get there and fine that form he had at Parma!
Forza Gila! Forza Milan

Interesting idea, I look forward to reading the replies here. Like Sempre Milan!, I wasn't here when the thread opened, but I still support Gila-- and for pretty much the same reasons.
Every game, I see his frustration, his anger at himself for every near miss, and you can see in his eyes how desperately he wants to be the man he was at Parma. And now he's said in interviews that he "wants only Milan". He is trying so hard to fight for the red and black, for his fellow players and for us fans, that I can't find it in myself to have anything other than respect for him and faith in what he wants so badly to be for the team. The harder he tries, the more desperately he wants it and the more pressure and blame he has to defy to get it-- that just make me support him more and more. This season, when he does score (though sadly it's not very often), there's a certain fury in his celebrations: he surely knows he's defying not only the opposition team, but all the Milan fans who blame him and refuse to believe. The pressure on him is enormous, much greater than I feel he deserves; he cannot count anymore on his fans or even his luck, but he keeps fighting on. If that's not the rossonero spirit, I don't know what is. Forza Gila! |

I have the 05-06 away jersey with his name and number printed on, I had it custom made before it appeared in the shops even, so that proves that at the time I believed in him, I was satisfied with his 05-06 season as he scored regulary.
Now my jersey is in my closet, next to my 3 Sheva ones, because when I put either of those on one thing is absolutely certain : I'm going to see faces laughing at me in the street and I will get into arguments (or maybe headbutt someone who gives a remark even), so they remain there, in the closet to preserve the peace in the known universe. That is what has changed, not for me, as I still believe somehow he will get back to his old self and is just very unlucky atm, but for the general perception of the player Gilardino to the outside world went from hero to zero, he is now a mockery, even to some Milan fans so you can imagine other team fans.

Good idea Kui, but there's one little problem...
...The ones who now attack Gila weren't MM members when this topic was closed ![]() |

even if i was a member... it doesn't change a thing... because i was a Milan fan even before joinin' this forum & way before Gilardino came... and i was not exactly excited when he did come... tho i was willin' to give him the cushion of the first season to convince me of his abilities... and this is his second season... of which i only started my judgement on him... this bein' one reason behind why i still don't want to discuss much about Borriello & Oliveira...
