I cannot believe you would ban me for this joke.

A member also spoke about killing Gila last season (like yours it was a joke) and was warned, but there is a limit as to what jokes are acceptable. Much like a racist joke is unacceptable, a joke about killing someone is too.

If you think he has to leave then that's fair, I'm pretty much along the same lines.

I have warned you, not banned you, please don't blow things out of proportion.

Gila may hjave been a great player, but that was under Prandelli. Now Gila is a HORRIBLE player, you just have to admit it people! He cant do nothing, NOTHING!

And when someone breaks Pato's leg in the next 10 games Galliani should get shot! Playing Pato and Kaka' alongside Gilardino, Oddo, Marek, Brocchi, Emerson and other palyers that seem to forgot how to KICK THE BALL RIGHT WAY is a crime!!!

Buy some good players, 5 of them and play normal football! And stop horrasing KAka', Pato, Pirlo!

Gilardino's fans state that he does a lot of workrate and he has to get more chances.

1. Workrate is not enough for AcMilan first striker. Milan's first striker has to be more than that. He has to be a player who does a good workrate and is able to decide games. So, workrate+ magic. Gila has failed in this.

2. More chances: i think he has got MANY chances, and by the way a team like Milan can't give too many chances. Big clubs football doesn't give you 100 chances to prove yourself. You have to take those which are given you.

3. Paloschi: just look at Paloschi. Hitmann had a great point saying that Paloschi put Gilardino's performances to shame. Paloschi is 7 years younger and is able to take the chances that Carlo gives him.

I hope Gila proves us wrong, but it's not a single decisive goal who can settle a career. Gila must consistently deserve to be in one of the most ambitious ans sought after positions in club footbal, and live up to expectations, even because he takes a wage proportional to those expectations too.

Gila play football which is at the level of Brescia, I mean it for real. I was a big fan of his and I supported him for a while but if you understand football then you see that this man has lost it. You can see it in his eyes, the way he mooves and so on...it sounds funny but its true. Look at PAto and his movement of the offside trap, for example.

Another thing, Gila doesnt create space, cant hold on to a ball and isnt a real danger like Toni, Drogba, Adebayor...those are the players Milan needs ( Benzema also). The players that , if left 1 on 1 just go on to score...Toni and Adebayor most likely to do it in the box dough. Those players take pressure off from Kaka', Pato, Pirlo, Seedorf...but Gila is only making things worse.

im sorry, but Gila has to go. Corriere says he wants Juve and Galliani has decided to let him go. Also, Carlo will be NT coach and Lippi will take Milan. More: Sheva will be back along with another striker (Boriello...).

But Milan needs a super player - Benzema! And then there would be no team in the universe to stop us. Im in love with this football Pato plays, it looks like he has no limits! Every move is improvised, no fear, pure talent and vision - beautifull! Sheva didnt play like that at 18, nor did Messi.

I am not Gila Fans but I think it's REALLY unfair to blama Gila without looking at the fact about Gila and Milan. Gila is not a type of Inzaghi, Sheva, Weah etc. He is a finisher. He needs support. Yes, Pato played but who were the fullbacks? Who was the player behind two strikers? Who are the midifelders? Only Pirlo and Kaka are good enough to provide chances for Gila even though the last name seems reluctant to give chance for Gila.

As said before the chances the strikers got before 2006/07 were much much more than after 2006/07.

If you guys want to compare strikers who are finisher, compare the services that they've got and goals, NOT ONLY the goals.

And one for sure, Ancelotti said Gila did pretty well for the team. The coach who can judge how his player is, not fans or football commentators.

I think the last 2 posts from Giovani and Mrki is what we should keep and understand.
To undestand if Gila should play with us or not.The solution is right there, just read it.

I dont think so. I believe more Carlo's opinion.

So, you're telling us that playing as regular starter for Milan takes just scoring a couple of goals in 2 months, and do absolutely nothing on the pitch in the meanwhile ?

Have you seen Van Basten, Weah, Shevchenko play ? Can't you see a difference between these players and Gila ?

Gila is a finisher. Ok. Van Basten wasn't ? Sheva wasn't ? But they were bigger than that.

Where was the support ? Ambrosini gave him a great ball, and he was too slow too reach that. He is often out of place on the pitch, not quick enough. He can miss the crosses even because he does the wrong movements. It's not always full backs fault.
I can't see this player blossom in games. He has never had a positive spell, longer that 2-3 matches.

If you call this Milan first team material, then you don't have a clue of what a world class striker is.

Im a fan of gila too but I really dont know wats going on with him somethin really strange .

I did not watch the game last night but I sow silvestre's red card if there wasnt foul on pato it would be 99% goal, silvestre was the last player I think

You mean De Silvestri ..
Silvestre was one of the reasons i started supporting Inter...that was the Golden Age: Silvestre, Rambert, Caio, Centofanti, Vampeta...

Ambrossini? Who the hell is this guy? How can a s triker depends on this guy? Ambrossini is not a bad player but to use him to feed stikers is not correct especially with 2 awful-at-crossing fullbacks.

What I've seen, the crosses of Milan fullbacks were awfull generally.

I never said he is world class striker. I just said the way people blame Gila is biased.

Berlusconi said today "Juve, win for us also"

I say to him "Of course we will, but if we do win then don't even think about selling Gilardino to the fools from Juve's board".

Mrki, i really find it hard to believe that Juventus will buy Gilardino.
With Trezeguet, Del Piero, Iaquinta and Palladino, paying big money and high wages for such a flop like Gilardino is something only a lunatic could do. The good news for You is that Secco and co. are lunatics
But it's corrierre and tuttosport saying this. The two most unreliable sports papers i've read in my life.

Oddo put three crosses in the box in about 30 secs. They were all crap except the last maybe.

P.S Gila still sucks, all he can do is wait for the cross or pass in the box, and when he gets it he still swallows the chance.

Pato and Gourcuff wide was was a nice look. Paloschi had a nice chance about 7 or 8 yards out from the side of the goal and tried to pass it back/across to Pato. (intercepted) I wish he had tried to shoot that.

This is one game that I can live with the draw, because Ancelotti actually played all the youngsters at the same time, and IMO they did as good and looked even more dangerous than the first team.
Gourcuff passes weren't bad (although he gave it away a few times) and just has to aim his shots a bit better and he's good, Pato is the freakin awesome and made the defenders look dumb, and Paloschi doesn't stop running and puts himself in a position to get the ball often.

These three should be on the pitch together more often.

Ambrosini send a fantastic ball in the second half, but Gilardino couldn't reach it. It was perfect, but Gila is too slow. Actually tell me what are his remarkable skills..of course he couldn't reach it..he's a slow striker.

People who blame Gila is right. This guy arrived 3 seasons ago, and hasn't fully convinced yet. He was welcomed as a star, and given all the support from the crowd for more than 1 season and half. People started whistling him way after the usual San Siro standards.

It's not Milan who should adapt to Gilardino. It's the contrary. If he lives up to our expectations, ok. Otherwise, he has to go.

I give you a couple of FACTS:

1. Gila was paid 24 m euros. Now his price tag should be around the half. Why? He's not old.

2. Gila isn't part of Italy NT team anymore. Why ? Maybe the amount of people not convinced by his performances his increasing day by day.
