I hope not, emerson have never succeded or done well in UCL after having played there many years. Nope, his playing style is perfect for Serie A instead. I would much rather use Ambrosini in UCL and of course Gattuso as first choice.

Now that it's official, I'm pleased with the Emerson signing. Must say, the thought of him and Ambro together (a very physically imposing midfield) will be great closing out games. It reminds me of Viera-Puma back in Juve, which may not have been pretty, but a rock in midfield.

welcome Emerson

Im only worried that Ronaldo could take some time to recover, let alone to rediscover some kind of a good form. We are slow in attack and without Kaka' we are also slow in midfield.

Still, good to have Puma in Milan. Welcome! Now, lets make some fouls!!!!

hmm formation if pirlo is injured
Dida
Oddo Nesta Kala Janku

Cafu ? Emerson Gattuso/Ambro Seedorf
Kaka
Inzaghi/Gila
?

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 )

in the end its 3 point that matters. But still, i would like to see milan playing football not milan destroying football, thats all. And with the no-game like that, your last () does have a big role as far as i know from previous years

Its just that i have a nasty feeling the game can get stuck in our midfield like it has last year after first 5 matches. And having 4 players of identical type cant help us much then. No imagination, no joy in playing, even less joy in watching... just trying hard to push one in and trying even harder not to concede.

Lets say im as much wrong as i was last season, when i said many times milan cannot win CL

well, i don't know if they really wanted to get rid of him, as much as he not wanting to sit the bench. villarreal, not a rich team, and has a good track record making good buys, paid 10M euros for him. that is a pretty good endorsement of his quality

Well, don't use Juve from 2005/06 (even though i'm convinced they deserved every single point) , use Inter from last year as an example.
Neither Juve in 2006 neither Inter in 2007 played no-game football, eventhough they had two destroyers in the midfield.

If you have 3 DM's, then i agree, it will be very ugly. But Emo-Gattuso + Seedorf-Kaka in the midfield can work pretty well and i don't think Pirlo's absence will mean Milan are screwed, like you said previously.

PS : But i hope i'm wrong and you're right

Perhaps you are right, we will see. Its just all the united fans I knew would shut up about him a year ago and now they seem to have given up on him.

Now that we got Emerson, I wonder if Capello would still name Giuly as the best transfer made by an Italian club this summer

I have a feeling this guy will be immense for us
oh, and remember you heard it here first

lol i transferred emerson from real to Milan in PES 6 and he scored in first game

of course that surely means that he will play great in Milan

Now that Ronaldo is injured, do we need another striker? Both Gilardino and Inzaghi have also had injuries during pre-season, and I don't think any of the Aubameyangs are ready for first-team football just yet. And as we now Pato is not eligible to play before 2008 and will then still only be 18 years old.

That's it, Zlat jinxed everything people ! Whenever he said his famous "remember you heard it here first" things happened 100% opposite of what Zlat says.

Lets wait for the end of the transfer market, Zlat. If Juve sells Zebina or if Roma sell Panucci then Capello will have a problem in choosing who's the best transfer in Italy

But tbh, i also have a feeling Emerson will be gold for Milan, especially in serie A

I thought id never say this but Forza Emerson

and bye bye Puma (bloody hell cant find the image)

Yes, we need another striker! I'm content with Emerson, he'd better give a good first impression because he's most likely our last transfer, where after winning the UCL! we should have went all out.. with money not being an issue, and us needing to rebuild 1 or 2 positions in defense, and one in the midfield, and one in attack, we should have bought so many more then what we have.. But hey, if we won UCL with those players, we can definitely give a shot at it as we've added two new ones now aswell I see emerson though as only being a player to give our other DM's a rest.. And I don't see him making a MAJOR impact, but maybe he can get a starting position all season long if he gets back in shape, -- another thing.. It's still not to late to give one last go for Eto'o or Quagliarella/Di Natali.. I still think we should have bought robinho, over hyped about or not hes a good forward and with RM's new additions they'd probably let him go too XD
