serginho was quite good going forward, in defence he was never really tested.

i missed the first 20 minutes so i can't really judge favalli but from what i saw from him in the first half didn't impress me.

still, this was only a friendly, imho they are more or less meaningsless.

Taiwo, Zambrotta, Pasquale, Chiellini. Any of those 4 would be a good choice to compete for our left-back spot, the first 2 especially.

i dont miss sheva, but recently ive missed how dangerous we useto be on the break, sheva could have buried gilas chance tonight.. not gilas fault tho, as hes not the quickest of cats..

First half of the game favalli disapeared. To be fair Pancaro had one good season with us, then left....

Serghino was an improvement but we do deffi need a new LB for this season.

Looks like Inzaghi is finding his youth, not only that but the back of the net more milan 2-0 juve 2 goals inzaghi

it's not my OK you need ... I am just the messenger
I will take this to the admins and other mods and we'll see what happens

regrading Ronaldo,
from what I can see on gazzetta's first page, they speculate that he has problems with his thyroid gland and it's causing his weight-gain problems ... not sure how true that is though.

Ronaldo, I thought he was losing weight atm, is he still gaining? How's this possible? Possibly too much Italian cuisine, but I'm sure he burns it off :| hopefully he's ok, anyways, I'm pleased with Motta, I really hope we can get him, even though we need another forward, I suppose they know best

How can anyone be happy with Motta? Barcelona have been trying to sell him all summer and no one (except us it seems) has paid any interest in him. When was the last time he played regular games for Barcelona? A few games here and there isn't the best platform for his abilities. Then there are his injuries.

I just think we can do a whole lot better.

A thyroid problem? My goodness, what a proposed diagnosis!!!!!!!! Where's the heavy sarcasm font?

I would have thought that would have been one of the first things to test many years ago when he started putting on the weight.

L'unico giocatore per cui si potrebbe riaprire il mercato del Milan, altrimenti gia' chiuso, e' Emerson. ''Se per caso dovesse venire fuori una possibilita' per Emerson - ha detto il presidente Silvio Berlusconi - noi siamo aperti, ma non bisogna portare nella rosa ulteriori protagonisti, perche' metterebbero in ombra gli attuali giocatori e renderebbero piu' difficile il mantenimento di quella serenita' di cui la squadra ha bisogno''. Sulla vittoria di ieri sera contro la Juventus: ''Siamo felici di questa rosa - ha detto Berlusconi - e ieri la squadra ha dato un'ampia dimostrazione del proprio valore''.

did anyone from italy see this interview? I wanted to ask, did he actually say our market is closed or did he say we will see what happens until 31st of August?

Cassano took # 99 @ sampdoria in honour of his friend ronaldo... Kinda makes me wish we got him

No, it is said that the market, that is reportedly closed for Milan, can be reopened only for Emerson and no one else.

Obafemi Martins wasn't good for some of you because he cannot score? I remember the same thing happened last year with Drogba when a lot supported Drogba? for Milan, no... he is incapable.

Is that what is actually said in the interview? Im asking because I think some of the words may have been misinterpreted. I want to know should I keep the 1% hope I have remaining in signing a striker or should I just forget about it.

Passing out on Ribery baffles me, really really does. Not saying this because he's playing good right now, but just cuz of his age/price/potential/shirt-sales(in France, he is the next Zizo atm, and every1 loves him). Ribery would have been a very smart buy, very versatile in midfield and also would have been a good piece of business.

PS: could there be a chance we could surprisingly sign Diarra instead of Emerson? throw in a few million and give the fans a much-needed surprise signing they have been promising for 2 seasons?
