Pippo Inzaghi To Bordeaux?

We need to replace players who have started to decline. man Utd is the perfect example of a failure to adequately replace players struggling as they get older. Look at how poor Scholes has been over the past year, and how weaker a player Keane is now when compared to his peak. Good players can't go on forever. In the case of Inzaghi, there is no guarantee that he is going to become the player he was before his injury again. Vieri looks a shadow of his former self. Once you get past 30, the niggly injuries start taking a bit longer to heal. I never said I didn't want to give Inzaghi the chance of a comeback, just stated my opinion that he might be sold on in the summer if he doesn't rediscover his best form.

Once your best players start to reach the end of their careers, then rebuilding is essential. By your reckoning Baresi would still be playing at the back.

As for liking players, that's not the issue. I like certain players and don't like others. My point is that you said you were a Milan fan ONLY because you liked a few of their squad, which gives the impression of being a fair weather fan. Quite feasibly, none of the five players you mentioned could be playing for Milan next season. Would you shift your allegiance?

I agree, even if Pippo regains his best form its not going to last forever. I miss having a Borriello on the bench who is happy to sit on the bench. The problem with having a fourth choice striker like Bobo is that theres a big fuss if he doesnt get a chance.

I agree with the possibility of having four big names on the bench, however I take issue with your mention of Boriello, as like Comandini and Saudati before him, he's sh!te.

No, there is no other alternative other than Milan for me! By the way I only think Billy would retire among the five you mentioned.

I wasn't just referring to retirement, though it is entirely possible that Paolo might just decide to walk off into the sunset. There is always a danger of playing on too long, as Baresi undoubtedly did. Plus, Rui, Vieri and Pippo could all possibly move on. There's no guarantee they will stay

I didnt actually mean Boriello, I meant a young striker with some promise which is what the strikers you mentioned once were.

I agree whole-heartedly, none of our experienced players are going to last forever, so at least we have to START looking for their alternatives who would spend some time on the bench at first and then take over...

If Paolo retires I am gonna have a major breakdown. I hope that never happens! I may not be able to make it!

relax guys pippo is not going 2 leave milan. Milan dint waste 2 yrs on his treatment so that he can leave us and perform somewhere else. He's a gem of a player, belive me guys he is back with a vengence and he is going 2 run havoc amongst all defences in europe.

Thanks

will u shut the fckin mouth canadian, gattuso is one of the best players milan & italy hav at this moment. A person who hates rino gattuso is an a**hole and he simply cant be a milan fan 4 the simple fact gattuso is a milan symbol after maldini.

Arpan, I understand you disagree with Canadian but please don't call him names and put slight variations of swear words in posts (this should go for all posters) so that they aren't censored out.

Lets keep the posts civil and the forum at peace

Gattuso sucks! don't you ever compare him to Paolo

Edited - due to personal attack on another member and a derogatory term used

someone is mad here

It was the canadian who started calling names on gattuso. This is not the first time he has done this. He also started a thread against rino and wrote some very unthinkable words for the gr8 rino.

The Canadian, consider this a warning for personally insulting another forum member. I've edited your post accordingly and will take further action the next time this occurs, so to put it simply, don't do it.

Arpan, same goes for you. I've edited your post where you put offensive terms. Again, this sort of behaviour is not acceptable.

Canadian is entitled to his own opinion and so if he doesn't like Gattuso, then thats his choice. If you disagree with him and wish to say so, then do it in a civil manner, not through offensive terms.

What I find even stranger is the fact that this argument has NOTHING to do with the topic

I hope this is clear to both of you, if you wish to argue, do it in a civil manner or do it elsewhere, not at MM.
