Banter 2009/2010

why would we get rafinha if hes a RB?,dont we want a LWB and a RWB?, god i hope we dont trash huntelaar he plays for the dutch national team!, that would mean we push abate into midfield IM STLL WAITING ABOUT US GETTING HERNANES!, we need 2 midfielders if we're cheap 1 our team would look like this,


-----------442------------------

----------Storari----------------

---Rafinha--Nesta--Silva---Maldonado--

----Abate----Pirlo---Flamini----Hernanes

-----Pato

-----------------------Klass

no need to drop the hunter IMO. its the midfield that is our problem. its the same mid we play for many years now, and it simply losts his magic! max, gattuso, seedorf/dinho and even pirlo shouldnt play anymore. I think if we could make our mid worldclass again we would go very far, but its going to be expinsive i'm afraid.

we shouldve bought hernanes (15m), bought fabregas for kaka money (45m) and also shouldnt have let gourcuff go!! our mid wouldve been fantastic!!

I agree with what a lot of you have been saying in that it isn't entirely Huntelaar's fault that he isn't scoring, but to me, he shouldn't be considered a sure fire keeper if we want to build a strong team again.

The thing is, having a guy like Huntelaar doesn't add more dimensions to our game. He is a finisher, and nothing more than that. He is basically useless when no others create opportunities for him. What we ideally need is a CF that can create offense, as that is the part of our game our offense lack the most. Even if we have a great midfield, we'd still want to add a more versatile CF up front just so we are even more difficult to defend.

If we can't sell him for decent enough price, then keep him as a third striker off bench. But I really don't think Huntelaar is a guy we should relay on as our first or second striker if we are to compete seriously again. His role should be defined similar to that of Inzaghi's of the last few seasons.

I disagree, i like having a player that is a very strong finisher up top. Hunter is a much more complete player than Pippo, he is good at holding the ball and he will pass more too. If i remember correctly he can also take FKs. we need better midfield play. I would move Abate up to mid and put Antonini or Bonera at RB

Interesting how Hunter is being treated like Gila.

Before Hunter came, we all knew what type of striker he is. He is not someone who can pickup the ball at midfield and uses his speed to beat defenders and scoring goals. Whether he is someone who will knock in crosses and scores from inside the box.

Does he has services? NO.
So how can he scores?

Huntelaar choosing number 11 would have provoked comparisons between him and Gilardino but he faces the same problem that gila did, Huntelaar season will be largely dependant on Pirlo returning to form and Beckham coming to Milan in January. I not saying a playmaker wouldn't help but with the size and strength of Huntelaar long balls or crosses may produce the best out of him.

Until either event happens the team needs to use antonini and jankulovski on a more regular basis as both of them are able to get into danger areas and provide relatively decent crosses.

Why we choose Dzeko? That guy Grafite i think its better than Dzeko am 'i wrong?

Grafite is alerady 30, whereas Dzeko is younger and potentially could create the best att with Pato in the next few years with an able sub like Paloschi and Hunter, but obviosuly we'll need better players in other positions too.

Im not for the MAldonado as our fullback. If we are to buy palyers we need to buy top players that will create Milan for the future, not some half-solutions where we'll not spend money and will have players for a fight for 4th place even next year!

About the posible sale of Huntelaar - if Huntelaar is not good enough to play as a 3rd or 4th striker for Milan in the future then I dont know what to say except that Milan got him for free in Kaka' deal and will make 15mln by his sale! Adriano is a washed up ex-player who is a simbol of Inter and we are being comical again.

Galliani only knows how to buy players when he has all the money he needs and then comes to a club and asks how much this players costs and pays for him ( Rui, Nesta, Pippo etc.). The rest is pure crap. Juve is on their way to swap Molinaro for Motta from Roma! There is Bocchetti who played for Azzuri yesterday, Criscito etc. And we are buying players like Maldonado? Sad.

Also, yes, we have "great faith" in Abate! hahaha... that is why we'll play Rafinha and Beckham if we buy them now. Abate can pack his bags in the winter as far as his playing time is concerned.

After Rivaldo, Ronaldo, R80, we are going for another soon to be, or already finished Brazilian in Adriano?

Havent we learned from our previous 3 mistakes?

Milan main problem is creativity and the finishing, i think CSKA's play maker Alan Dzagoev would be very good choice, he is on the path of arshawin..............

Well, the question we need to ask Brasiliero now is: What is the situation with Adriano? His form, his "move to Milan"? His games with Brasil NT etc.

I agree if he mrki if he goes to Milan and can play to his best then great , but we have heard this one before Rivaldo Dinho Ronaldo actually done okay before his injury but the Emperor huge gamble.

article saying juve has surpassed milan in getting dzeko. obviously nothing is done and the article is pure speculation but IF juve or any other italian team go and get dzeko i will be very very disappointed. he is incredibly talented and has declared a desire to play for milan. if we don't get him it can be added to the long list of mistakes by our management.

Adriano came off injured in Brazil's loss vs Bolivia.

Dunga obviously fielded a below strength team, with many starters absent.

So, basically, we are after Dunga's second choice centre fwd, who is now injured?

On another note, were it not for the Finivest situation, I could have hoped for some level of reinforcement, but now, worse with the haggling reportedly goin on over Becks loan deal, I think we are in for another "asutere" winter mercato....so I don't have my hopes up that we will be getting anyone of note in January.
