When Galliani seems not to learn his lessons on the mercato, the fans seem to do the same when they predict our season. I'm here since 2008, I saw each season posts saying we're going to play for a bottom table position. I presume the same kind of posts could have been read before. The result ? It never happened.

Michel Bastos scores for Lyon against Celtic.... btw, besides Bastos what other good LBs are there in the market?

Coentrao (the best), Clichy, Grosso (), Jansen (German NT sub, I really liked him, where does he play?).... who else?

milan must sign robinho. i just came with the conclusion. as robinho is great friends with both ganso and neymar and will be a great bargaining chip for them. so if we decide next year we want one, it will be easier to agree personal terms with any of these players. plus robinho will sell jerseys. if they want to look @ it in a business standpoint. robinho will also draw multiple defenders, making it easier for ronadinho, pato and huntelaar. but most importantly he will bring the samba spirit, that silva and pato needs to inherit.

bastos isnt a left back. he is a attacking winger. grosso is too old. i wouldnt say coentrao is the best, but he has the potential to be great.

and as galliani would say: we are a fully capable squad, we have great leftbacks, we have a great mixture of youth and expierence. which other squad do you know with two champion left backs (Marek, and Kahka) being left out. many teams would love to have these guys, but they chose to be at milan, and we are glad to have them here. they have won many games and many trophies, they are true champions.

Bastos is like a better Abate on the left side. Not fullback. The closest to a left back we could acquire may be Albertazzi.

Two players impressed me in the Lyon - Celtic game: two players who won the U19 Euro yesterday and played today, Lacazette and Tafer.

I didnt say relegation, I said not Top 4... if it is top 4.. it's number 4.. and who wants that for another season...especially with nothing accomplished in CL

Leaving out other good squads...

Just compare and you'll see how truly weak Milan's squad is...

Well, by doing like you did with all other teams (including players who are linked but aren't there), Milan could look like that:

Abbiati
Abate - Thiago Silva - Nesta - Antonini
Flamini - Pirlo - Ambrosini
Ronaldinho?
Dzeko? - Pato

i think seedorf should also be sold. asap

Seedorf is the least of our problems. When you hear Lazio could get Hernanes for 14 million euros in the next few days you see where the real problem is.

It is getting more and more urgent that this team is sold, before more damage is done. Like I and we have posted so many times I am not interested in Real, Man City or Chelsea type spending but we can get quality players for well under 20 million Euros. Instead we are extending contracts with some silly economic explanations...

yeap

http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/trans...nanes-contract

if 14 m is too much for milan then i dont know

seedorf is not our problem but someone will explain me how seedorf dont whant to be our new Rui Costa and start every game from bench ...

p.s. any one whatc Milan - Arsenal 0- 1 h.t. and yes we play like sheet and FLAMINI is our best player

I expect Flamini to be in starting 11 this year, and Allegri confirmed that he expects a lot from him and that he is a player that has shown less then he can in last 2 years. I agree 100% with that I believe Flamini can reach Arsenal levels in here again, which would help us a lot...

Allegri confirmed Milan will add a midfielder. News say we want Poli, and his price is 15mln. Adiyiah has been sold, Marek and Kaladze have been called off as a choice of Allegri...

Poli is maybe the most talented young italian midfielder, all round player that for sure has a future and would add needed power in our mifdield.

Mid with him and Flamini will have a new look, and Seedorf could play less but with better quality.

of course Poli is not free so....

And still we have no subs for Dinho and Pato... VdV could be that player but for sure some players NEEED to leave the club first.

Not selling Rino was a BIg mistake, as money would arrive and the space would opet. We'll see another Cannavaro story, this year with Rino. Too bad, a mistake by Galliani, again.

u see seedorf is holding a roster space, and with our policy, we need one to go, for one to come. seedorf is seeing by our managment as a big star. if a star leaves, another star comes. with this philosophy seedorf needs to leave asap

btw, who is merkel and where did he come from?
