Milan's Biggest Need + Crisis Solution + Don't blame management

And here it is.

Why do we need big names when we are the european champions? We are the best! Big names are for real madrid.

JUst have a feeling MIlan will sign two midfielders and another strikers.

BTW, I know Donati is gone, but where is Dalla Bona????

LOL. BMW, remind me to ask for cash next time.

@hwmook: Abbiati can be the subject of some pretty polarizing debate---much like Dida! But you are right in the sense that he played a huge role in us winning the league in 1999. The problem though is that after that I didnt feel he showed too much consistency, and while still making unbelievable saves, would let in some pretty soft goals. I'm not saying Dida is rock solid (okay BMW, I'll return the check ), but compared to Abbiati, and given a long season with decisive games, I feel he is more consistent, and less prone to conceding "soft" goals, so to speak. I guess in the end its just a matter or preference. But you'll have to agree that with Buffon or Cech in our goalkeeping department, we'd be able to watch most Milan games with a heart rate of less than 100...As of now, each time a corner or a free kick comes in, I'm freaking out

If I am not mistaken, he signed for Napoli last season.

I don't... I have a feeling that we will not have as many injuries this season as last season. Then we are the best team no matter if we sign more players or not.

Like i said, abbiati and dida are exactly the same type of keeper, they save near certain goals and let in soft goals especially balls coming from corners or crosses. I am scared whenever i see any opponents who keep trying to play long balls into our penalty area. The only solution is to get a more solid keeper but don't expect them to save our arse from near certain goals. I remember being so impressed with abbiati that i told my brother there is no way anybody can score in a 1 on 1 situation against abbiati. Remember the semi final 2nd leg against inter in 2003 UCL, abbiati save from martins in a 1 on 1 situation in the final minutes. Martins was totally clear and only abbiati remain but i was so confident that abbiati will save our arse and he did.

I have been thinking of our team keeper after Dida who is surely on his last legs, i wonder who is good enough to take over him.

So Do I!!!

I know, nothing makes the heart flutter like AC Milan defending a free kick and Dida flapping at the air....

I don't why ACM is keeping d!da after all what he has done in the past 3 seasons

Abbiati is not even close to being close to Dida when it comes to super saves. Dida have made some of the most incredible saves I ever seen, while Abbiati sometimes made simple saves look difficult. he will mostly be remembered for that save in the last round against Reggina. Some people like me also remember us leaking loads of goals all years with him as first keeper and that freekicks felt like penalties against him.

Enlighten us with your irrelevant genius, o grand Zeekay.

Van de Vaart

who's the player(from any team) do you think ACmillan should make a deal with?choose and tell whay he's a good chois for millan

I think David Copperfield from FC. Magic Box would suit our needs in adding depth in creating chances to score goals for our side...

Seriously, there are so many similar thread like this in this forum. So, this thread has to be merged...
