I like ur point Nadir..
Before joining Milan officially, i was one of few members that refused Gila in Milanello (cause his high price tag). But now, he wears red and black jersey.., so i will give 100% of my supports to this guy.

Bienvenutto, Gila...

From what I remember of this Gila transfer, it might have been only you, Nadir and myself who did not want Gila because of the price. Everyone else was sort "buy him at any cost". I guess they never ran a business before.

Sorry I dont like Vieri.

you were also one of the few that taunted everyone for believing in the transfer wholeheartedly...your final-day antics were exceptionally galling...but no worries.

It does not have much to do with crunching numbers...Milan were in the market for Gila so they knew they would have to shell out. I think Galliani knew that and so did Baraldi. Frankly I don't think we paid too much for Gila, when considering the sums Chelsea and Madrid have paid for players. In that context, as disturbing as it is, we did alright with Gila.

Look at even how much Juventus paid for Vieira...personally I think that is the blunder of the summer...

Ofcourse I did not want Milan to shell out more than Gila was worth and they didn't. I just wanted the negotiations to end positively because he is Italy's most promising prospect.

No need to be sorry...just don't come back running and pretending like you do when he has a decent season.

I never taunt. I was merely bringing to question people's behavior. I seem to remember the taunt coming more from the other side before and after his signing. Just was trying to bring to light how people have such knee jerk reactions. The question was not that I wanted him to to come. I did not like the original price of his transfer. Going back to people's attitude... I merely asked where did all the "optimism" go when evryone was on a worrisome panic with dumb rumours. I merely had to in fairness ask such a question at a time when people were accusing me of pessimism. Not a taunt... a reckoning more so.
It is nice to know that you too were in disagreement at the original cost of Gila's transfer. I'm sorry I did not include your name.

i didn't want him, not because of the money, but because his attitude against the juve game was piss poor. i felt that if he was gonna turn invisible in the big games, why would Milan want him?

Oh Nadir... I certainly hope you are not the one who will come back and ridicule yourself ...
did you watch today's game against Chelsea...? ohhh well...
he did not prove me wrong!!!...
Rui Costa did in a few minutes what he couldnt do at all...

i won't be ridiculing myself because
1) i am supporting a rossonero. There is no shame in that at all. whether he does good or bad, i supported him and I am going to be proud of that.

2)if he does badly, then where is the shame in supporting him? If he does well, you will look stupid in criticising him. lol. even though i criticised Gila, I am sure hoping he will put egg on my face by scoring 20 goals this season

Like him or not, he's here. He isn't and never will be a threat to Sheva. I expect 8 - 11 goals out of Vieri this season. As for Pippo, I don't know if he'll be back to his former heights but no one can deny the contribution he made in past seasons.

Warro, thanks for giving me a great big laugh, you said it just right What a bright way to look at things.

I guess so..
I'm a good manager in the case of transfer market. When i was playing FA Football Manager (few years ago), my friends called me "the cheap manager"..

You must be kidding me, man..
He deserved the number Juve paid to the gunners...

Plz anyone of you tell me, why this summer the medias dont tell anything bout the rumour of maniche ??
I think he will be a nice addition for us in midfield for the season to come

The 2nd post i like form you Nadir..

Surely our 2 main strikers will be Sheva and Gilardino, Vieri in NO way will take their place. To take my hearth Vieri will have to score in next year's final.

IMO Vieri has past it, but maybe he may score those 10 goals next year. Inzaghi for me his story is very very similar to that of the final years of Van Basten

just ask yourself this question - is milan stronger or weaker than last year?

Attack: Absolutely stronger. Vieri is much more competent than JDT and as good as Crespo was for us, I think most people would consider Gila a stronger addition just from the number of goals last year.

Midfield: Weaker? We lost Dhorasso but gained Vogel. I would say we are slightly weaker in the midfield because Vogel is more a midfield ball-winner where as Dhorasso was a Pirlo-esque playmaker. The strength of our midfield depends on where Marek plays.

Defence: Definitely stronger with the addition of Jankulovski. Other than that we are fairly unchanged except for the addition of a fairly decent 2nd goalkeeper.

Will we win titles with this lineup? It depends on their psychology through the season we all know what i am referring to
