Again? How many times have we heard out market is closed this summer?

We can only hope!

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?

Maybe i am the only one who doesn't like ribery that much. I like Gorky and rate his potential higher. Some people like to say Ribery is the next Zidane but there is nothing similar about his play and Zidane's. Ribery is a hardworker but as a player, he is like Gatusso with more flair and individual skills, certainly not a player like Zidane. Gourcuff is much more closer to Zidane than Ribery, even acknowledged by Zidane himself at the tender age of 20. I would hate to see ribery being played instead of Gourcuff so i am glad we don't have ribery.

There is no way we would get Diarra, i haven't heard any info to suggest real madrid wanted to offload him. If real doesn't want to sell then we need to overpay for them to consider selling which is something i do not want to see. Emerson's situation is very different.

Gattuso-Pirlo-Gourcuff
----Kaka---Ribery----
-------Ronaldo-------

You could play both of them easily, no problem

I feel again as last year that our summer transfer period looks like a big nothing. Allright we got Pato a 17old great talent, but he would be ready to play with us as a starter after 1 or 2 years. That means that we haven't make any trasnfer for the team.
Other great clubs are making their teams more powerfull.Ok i understund that Milan is not like other teams,we are far better from them, but i'm speaking for the good of this great club. At the moment we have not a good bench, or good back-ups for all the starters players. Imagine if Kaka will injure for 3 months, what will be happen?
Im sure as the most of you that this team need a player for every one position.We need a GK,defender,a midfilder,and a striker.
We must start buying 2-3 new good players every season because our team is very aged and we need a refresh.The team need a big refresh but that will be not good buying many new players for many reasons.So if we don't need to have a disaster at the team with many new palyers we must start from now to built the new Milan buying every year 2-3 good players.

If Jankulofski get injured who will play DL?Serginho!He is 36-37 and i don't know if we can trust him.
The same goes for averyone's position.We need bench and good back-up's for everyone's position.
At the moment i know that we can't buy many player's but for sure we need 3!


And something for last.Last year we bought storari for Dida's replacement.Storari is better GK than Kalac, i think everyone will agree with me.
Why we loaned Storari when now we haven't a Dida's good replacement?I don't trust Kalac for sure.The same goes and with Fiori.I can't understand why our managment is doing those things? The truth is clear, we have only a good repacement and the others are just crap, and we sell Storari.

I think players like Nasri,Akinfeev,Taiwo,Barzagli,Quagliarela,Huntelaar,Albiol,Lucho gonzalez,Quaresma,Zaccardo,Rafinha.....i cant remeber else...........i think will be good players for us.

I think buing 2 or 3 of them will make us better for such difficult session that we will have.

I really can't understand you. You say you understand that Milan is not like the others, and in the same time you ask Milan to buy a bunch of unproved players...
I would say you don't understand that Milan is different or atleast what makes Milan different...

I'll try to explain how I see the things...
You know, for everybody the perfect solution is to have 2 good players on each position, right? But that's not always possible. And having them can also create problems in the dressing room because of the competition between the players. IMHO Milan has a different approach. Ancelotti loves players, who are able to play in more than one position. He even changes their original positions (like Pirlo, Seedorf, Kaladze, Maldini, Kaka, Serginho, Brocchi, don't forget Stam too, etc) and when they get used to their new positions, they become more universal players. They are able to play on their new positions, but they are able to play on their old position too.
In this way, when somebody gets injured, we can always replace him with somebody else, who has the experience and quality to fill the gap. You can't expect couple of players to get injured at the same time, that's quite unlikely. Well, last year was quite abnormal, because of the lack of a phisical preparation in the summer, we had much more injured players at the same time and it was hard to fill all the gaps. But I don't think this will happen again, I think there's no need to explain why.
So, having more universal players, we don't need that big squad, the competition within the squad is not that big and that allows us to have that united dressing room, that great atmosphere between the players.
So Milan prefers to keep the good atmosphere in team rather to buy players, that hardly will be used in more than 10 games or something...

Having a lot of players (part of them can't be used regularly and they will complain for that) and having a great team spirit and atmosphere at the same time is not so easy and not always possible.

actually switching Ribery and Gourcuff positions will get better results from both of them. Ribery is somebody who can play like seedorf.

Looks like another tough season ahead of us..

If by "ANOTHER TOUGH SEASON" you mean last season...than I hope we have another tough season,and maybe have tough seasons for the next ten years..

All right i agree. But for how many years we will keep these players, Dida,Serginho,Kalac,Fiori,Cafu,Maldini,Pipo,Favali,Simic,Ibrahim Ba,? If we don't want to have competition's in our club what we gonna do?Keep these players for many years or buy some good players?I think Milan has a very good first line up, but we have not a good bench or back ups for everyone's position.Keeping these players we can have a good atmoshere at the team but i'm sure that with them we will not have any future.We need palyers everyone can see that.

[quote=Rayno_acm]I really can't understand you. You say you understand that Milan is not like the others, and in the same time you ask Milan to buy a bunch of unproved players...


Unproven players? I think better talented players! When Milan bought Gourcuff what he was before?An unproven but talented player!The same goes for Pato and for Kaka. Why Milan bought them?Because we need a new fresh and young blood in our aged team! Every single team are buying young and talented palyers with great future, because thats football. When we bought Kaka he was unproven and now he is the best player on the world. How you can say that i'm asking a bunch of unproved players when you don't know what future will have everyone of them. Everyone of that bunch of unproved players can become great players. If we don't take care of our future we will have big problems on the future.

And something last everyone footballer on this world were born as an unproven player, noone was born as an proven player.
