Yeah i think i might be a bit concerned if you did tell me that and you were sober ... if you were drunk i'd think it normal. Everyone loves everyone else when they're drunk, male or female ...

Sleep with your eyes open

Just like I said when we signed Pato, I will say it again with Emerson....."Awesome, now who's next!?!?!?!"

A simple question: What's the difference between Emerson, Ambrosini and Brocchi? Or, putting in other words: what qualities Emerson have that cannot be founded on Ambrosini or Brocchi?

i'll make sure i lock the doors and windows tonight

More to the point, why dont Manchester United want him. They obviously cant score at the moment. He was pretty amazing for the reserves. I dont know how good he was for Parma. But the step up is a big one.

Ambrosini is a a quality DM who is injury prone and I think Carlo can trust him in the big games.

Emerson is a beast of a DM who because of his age will supposedly be happy to sit on the bench. Not sure about that personally. Time will tell.

Brocchi is purely a squad player who I dont think Carlo trusts in the really big games. As he showed in the first leg against United where he came on and gave the ball away for United to counter and score. He is a player with many qualities, but I think Carlo bought emerson in for the CL.

Letting Vogel go really was a mistake as he was very useful for this very task. When he played, Milan lined up in midefiled very well in deed maintaining a ballance between possesion and being tough to break down.

Who cares ?
If you have them all in the same midfield it means that they are there only temporary, until Pirlo gets back.
And playing pretty football should be the least of your concerns in serie A. It's been a while since you won the league and now the only thing that counts are the 3 points, it shouldn't matter how do you get them (at least to me it doesn't) . It is a bonus if you get 3 points and play beautiful football, but i won't object if my team plays shyt and still gets the win ( of course, if everything is legal )

Cant disagree with that no matter how much I want to.

Emerson is an usefull acquisition, because he is a usefull player.
It would have been better to have bought another striker (maybe Milan will still do it), the situation Milan is in now, is far from optimal, but fortunately Milan can play in a 4-5-1.
