GRE-NO-LI · 23-05-2006, 10:05

To take Fat Ronnie is a much more risky affair than get Tevez or Torres, believe me.

mrki · 23-05-2006, 12:58

Ronaldo is a finished player, stop fooling yourselves! He cant play in serie a, he never could. His knees are gone, he is slow, cant gain his fitness back, and so on....
Trezeguet is a geat goalscorer, but we dont need him. We have pippo-gila for that.
Ibrahimovic would be the best solution for Shevas place. Still, I want Sheva, no one cant replace him.

Graeme that's a squad of 27 with only 2 keepers !!! 3 keepers is usually the norm so a squad of 28 is way too much. If you look at most squads they average between 20-24, so you'd have to do a bit of trimming GC

For me i think our keepers for next season will be

Dida/Buffon, Kalac & Fiori

Then it's just a case of filling in the blanks for the other spaces

Graeme C · 23-05-2006, 13:29

i have refined the list... after looking at a possible scenario squad for next year, im asking myself alot of questions

Jim_UK · 23-05-2006, 13:46

I don't know much about Gourcouff, what kind of player is he similar too ?

Good squad too by the way, especially if Foggia is more Mancini like than Cameronasi.

That's painly obvious, I couldn't agree more! To lose Sheva and get Fat Ronnie is a complete disaster, I cannot think on a worst move.

If you want to see a bit of Gourcouff for yourself, you can see him score a goal in this clip of highlights from one of Rennes' matches. He's No. 10.

And meanwhile our european rivals are seriously reinforcing themselves (Chelsea-Ballack / Arsenal-Rosicky), we sign the mighty Favalli... really a superb transfer policy that of ours...

hitmannq8 · 24-05-2006, 01:15

grenoli, i dont think anyone here is exactly ecstatic about signing favalli either.. i mean, teams like arsenal are really in need of players like rosicky because they are not a top class team.. milan atm do not really need to buy any new 20m players, because really, we dont have any space for the starting 11 for anyone.. our starting 11 is as perfect as it is..

we all understand ur disappointment in our transfer policy, not many people like it, i dont either.. but you cannot denie that it has been very successful in the past few years.. milan has been the favourite for the CL for the last 3 seasons and has reached 3 semi-finals. These are statistics, these are facts, u cannot denie that Milan have been playing so well under this transfer policy. Ofcourse i would love us to sign Ronaldinho, Messi, Kerlon, Aguero, but you must also have to think, replace who? if everytime one player has a bad season and we sell him, we will end up being like Inter.. we must show faith in our players..

u cant also say that milan has ALWAYS bought free old players, cuz they did spend some money on quality players over the past 2 season u know..they did get kaka, marek, and stam for reasonable amounts.. dont forget gilardino for crespo.. its not exactly as bad as u think..

all im asking of you is just to stop complaining about the transfer policy we have, and simply just let them do the job.. ofcourse we r all fed up of the free 30+ agents, but it has been working right? and u shouldnt worry too much, the transfer window is not even open yet!! i honestly think we have a surprise or two coming, especially if sheva leaves..

a squad of 23-24 looks good, 20 just too weak and 27-28 just to many and too troublesome. We need the best starting 11 and then another near best 12-13 to really rotate the team.

After a WC players are very tired so to compete in Series A, Coppa Italy and CL we need to rest every play every third game. It is just stupid to play our best 11 in games like Messina just 4 days before CL semifinal.

My squad:

GK: Buffon, Kalac, Flori (3)

Defend: Cafu, Nesta, Kala, Gallas, Serginho, Maldini, Oddo, Zambrotta (8)

Midfield: Gattuso, Seedorf, Kaka, Pirlo, Jank, Ambrosini, Diarra, Robben (8)

Attack: Inzaghi, Gila, RVN, Torres (4)

We signed Favalli does not mean we will play him, we can loan him to Juve (in series B where he can be used).

GRE-NO-LI · 24-05-2006, 09:49

Contrary to many here, your remarks are always polite and thoughtful, and you deserve my admiration for that, Hitmannq8. I know that we reached 3 CL semifinals on the last 4 years, etc, etc, etc., but I simply cannot believe that you are not perceiving a slow but evident decline of our's squad competitive powers. We still have an excellent squad, yes, but loaded with veterans which performing levels are inevitable declining. You cannot deny that players like Cafu, Stam, Seedorf, Costacurta, etc. already passed their prime, not managing to maintain their highest performance levels. I don't want a major renovation every year, of course, that's not the point at all, but we simply cannot go on eternally with such a veteran squad!

BTW: do you really belive that our starting 11 is perfect? you really can't found a spot for players like Ronaldinho or Messi on our starting squad? Well, I beg to disagree. For instance, I would love to see our midfield with two attacking midfielders, like Parreira is doing on Brazil's national team.

Giovanni · 24-05-2006, 10:05

Gourcouff for Rui Costa is a great piece of management..he will cost as much as one year of Rui Costa's wage..

even Gre-No-Li can't deny that this is a good move from the club..Gourcouff is one of the most promising players in Europe, 20 y o, and he wouldn't cost a fortune..5-6 mill
