I do like him Im not against his arrival to san siro but I doubt Galliani will pay that amount

I very Much agree with Milano and Jtelly about Ancelott's all to obvious tactical setup. Every team in Serie A and Europe knows Milans style of play. It sets a handicap, because if it fails then Ancelotti has no other cards to play, Other then putting on an extra striker.

So even if we get Ade...how much different will the line-up be?
Kalac
Zambro--Nesta---Kala---Janku
Flamini---Pirlo---Ambro
Kaka'----Pato (eliminate him for the start of the season because of Olympics, so Seedorf would probably take his spot)
Ade

I don't know, it still rests alot on our wingbacks. If Pirlo comes back to form, it could be decent. Yet, there is no real room to change and the default would be to go back to something more defensive since we don't have different offensive options.

Frankly, I think there is enough pressure on Galliani and the administration that this be done.

We could pay a 4-3-1-2 formation... Ancelotti has stated he is willing to switch things up, and even if we do get Adebayor, I think we'll at least get one more attacking midfielder perhaps from Brazil. As I said before, I find it hard to believe that Milan would not take advantage of the two non-EU options...

i also think its a testament to kaka as he's triple marked all games... where as say cristiano ronaldo has the lines of rooney, tevez, giggs, nani, scholes, anderson all in at various times as offensive influences taking pressure off him. I wonder how great kaka would have been should i had an onform toni upfront and perhaps ronaldinho or ribery there too....

In my opinion, this season will show us alot about whether Kaka' will stay to become the new "symbol" of Milan; he's back from injury, he suffered alot last year, he was frustrated and like Milano says, he was always the focal point of opposing teams' defenses. If he is not given the right amount of help and support, I can see him becoming very upset with management for not getting adequate support. He is a player, not a bionic man who can carry the team on his own; besides, he's already done that for us enough and I want him to shine for us for the rest of his career. If Giancarlo gets his wish for another Brazilian attacking midfielder, that would go a long way towards alleviating the pressure from Kaka'.

we could give dru his dream line up of a 4-2-3-1 w/ quaresma, kaka, sobis just behind a striker. course carlo would have to go

I'm against any notion of Carlo Ancelotti leaving Milan. He's smart enough and will put out a new formation, if we had the players. However, I do think we will get another attacking midfielder even if we do spend a lot on Adebayor.

We should get Hernanes to join Milan... he's perhaps the right choice and nothing really has materialized for him and Barcelona.

Nobody is saying Carlo should leave; he just needs new tools in order to execute a new formation.

Don't even try this again. I didn't say anything about loaning anyone to anywhere regarding Hernanes. Nor have I ever suggested loaning out an old player in a deal like that.

And I'm sure they'll bring down the price.

Don't exaggerate I have never suggested he play so many games from the first minute. But playing all those games from the 85th minute won't do much for his development now will it. Look at what Barca did with Bojan. Consistently coming it at/around the 70th minute then eventually secured a starting spot. Gourcuff was coming on at the 80th minute every 5th game. Anyway this argument is useless, he's long gone. We'll see how he does with Bordeaux.

While we wait for Adebayor, we've signed a new doctor for the medical staff: Massimo Manara.

chill out giancarlo. it was a joke. NOT AIMED AT YOU! just the fact we have alot of expendable **** on our bench...aka not alot of peices to move (i mean everyone would want kaka or pirlo, but we arent giving them)

I'd prefer Ronaldinho & Pavlychenko to only Adebayor.
