MILAN - A.C. Milan communicate they have reclaimed Ignazio Abate. The footballer returns to the Rossoneri on a permanent basis.



FINALLY some good news

is he really good? i've never seen him play!

A bit more rumor-mill stuff, though I seriously like him, so I ask: does anyone want Cesc Fabregas?

Is he really good,the guy is booked as one of the most greatest propects in Italy right now!He scored a wondergoal against Lazio with Toro last season and is a good winger,he has speed,dribble and a decent cross.

Sure he has to mature more but he is a welcome addition to our squad right now and we could use him,he is a talent who isnt overrated IMO,he works hard and people see him as a good talent.

How could you say no to that question,but still lets not discuss this player(although he said if he goes to Italy he wants to play for our club)because he will never come,he will stay with Arsenal and when the time is right he will move back to Barcelona,everybody knows that.

Lets just discuss the players who are linked to us,not fantasy signings as its just to painful to talk again and again about great players who will for sure not join us.

Abate also returned last year, you never know if he will be here when the summer is over

Last year he was still in a co-ownership thingy...However, now he's returned on a permanent basis....

Also,Pato just said that his future is comitted to Milan and that he wants to stay,he wants to win the C.League and Scudetto with us.

And Milan just announced that Abate will return to Milan.

Now we have two great wingers in our team.

who is the other great winger apart from Abate?

He will be here,Abata left last year because Carlo did not needed and wanted him,he also did not give young players a chance and Abate did not fit in the formation

Leo is more of a 'fan' of young players and Abate also will fit in the formation we will probably adapt: 4-3-3.

So Abate leaving is this time around just a utopia because circumstances have changed.....or shall i say the coach has changed.

If we still had Carlo then Abate would have probably been sold to Toro,im sure about that.

Pato....

Pato isnt a winger but a CF,but he certainly can play on the wing and he himself said it is his favourite position to play there,with his speed,dribble technique and decent cross he would be a excellent winger.

Im done with my glass being half empty the glass is half full and we will fill it up to top until it overflows FORZA MILAN!!!

Lille have officialy bought striker Aubameyang from us,we loaned him to a second division french club where he scored i thought 1 goal in 30 appearances.

I only watched him at that tournament where all those youth teams were at...i dont remember its name,it was a tournament a few years ago(1 or 2 years dont remember)where all the youth teams from all over the world were participating.Manchester,Juve etc.

Milan were knocked out by Juve(who won the tournament)but Aubameyang was topscorer of the tournament with 5 goals.Hope we dont regret this sale...

Is it official ? Because there were reports that the loan to Lille (with an option to buy him) was official one month ago ...

About Fabregas, he probably just replied to the question "If you go in Italy, what club would interest you the most ?" ... which means by no way he would go in Italy sooner or later !!

PS: Fabregas wouldn't fit in the Barcelona midfield ... he can't play alongside Xavi and he can't play the role of Touré as he isn't physical enough ...

Good points about the young Italians. It really is like noone wants them, hopefully the U21 Tournament will open the eyes of the big clubs, because the Azzurrini are doing great at the moment.

About Fabregas, the question was probably something like what Geo said, but still, if we had an offer accepted I'm fairly certain he would join us. Contrary to what everybody here says, we're still a bigger club than Arsenal. Barcelona really don't need Fabregas, and I don't think he's going anywhere, but if they bought him I imagine they'd switch Iniesta to left wing instead of Henry and play Fabregas as a CM.

I dont know much about this abate kid but im just really pumped that Leo wants to have a young attacking team.

I hope he can mentally inspire this team as well. I just watched the us vs spain game and wow, that was proof that TEAM will always beat individual players. They had some luck too but no one can say they didnt deserve this win.

Im happy to see that more of you guys are being optomistic now. i dont mind if a coach has favorites but i dont want him to keep them on the pitch at there worst moments. I am lucky enough to see there first friendly on July 19th i cant wait.

In the coming days Milan and Genoa will get together to talk about the future of Davide Di Gennaro, who is co-owned by the 2 clubs. He is a product of our youth system, and has for several years been hailed as one of the best players we have produced for years. He played for Reggina this season, and although the team got relegated he didn't have that bad of a season (from what I heard).

I think it would be great if we could get him back, as he is an attacking midfielder/trequartista type of player that most likely (according to himself) can adapt to play winger in a 4-3-3 formation, as a trequartista, in the regista-role (Pirlo-role) or as a deep striker.

If it's true as Berlusconi and co says, that Ronaldinho will get the responsibility to take over for Kaka next season, then I think Di Gennaro would be the perfect backup. He's young (just turned 21), he will be cheap in terms of salary, he's a talented Milan product that can end up to become a fan favorite and he fits perfectly into the new line of Milan building a new and young squad. I start smiling just thinking of a possible bench for next season with Darmian, Abate, Di Gennaro and maybe Paloschi (though he probably will stay another year in Parma?). And let's hope the players will actually get a chance to play quite a bit, and let the more experienced players get some rest to stay fresh all season. So maybe we won't win any trophies the next couple of seasons, but just look at Arsenal, there is a price to pay for putting your faith in young and inexperienced players. Building up a new young team may cost us in terms of short term success, but can easily end up giving us another amazing generation of Milan with plenty of trophies over the next 10 years.
