i agree, but don't bother.. sacking ancelotti is now their purpose of life

Just some fine tuning for the squad will be fine as long as there is a new coach or Carlo finally learns the lesson of stop playing his fav and start playing in form players.

With T.Silva already signed, recalling Astori and exercising the first option on Canini will be more than enough CB for us.
Another LB would be great.

As for midfield, as long as Beckham stays, Yoann and Abate coming back, it will be more than enough.

Hopefully, Milan will sign two strikers and thats all they really need to compete in all fronts.

As for the players to leave, Emerson is a goner, Kalac contract will expire, Cap will retire, Favalli(I have no objection if he stays or leave as unless there are a huge injury list for CB, Favalli won't get anytime as CB next season, with Nesta, T. Silva, Canini..) Sheva and Sanderous will be return to their clubs, and hopefully Seedorf and Dida will leave.


I really hope that Napoli will struggle and won't be in Europe next year, that way, Milan might actually be able to get Santacroce.

We will need a new LB and a new attacker to replace Shev. That's it. Thiago Silva will be the best signing since Kaka. Yes, better than Pato, methinks; because we need him more.

True guys, we dont really need to sign many players. I hope we'll sign only a few players, but good ones at a good age!
-a defender (Santacroce my favourite, when napoli wont make it into europe we might get a chance to get him! otherwise agger would be fine)
-A midfielder to replace clarence, no need to spend as gourcuff can return. I really hope he does.
-A striker. my preffered option is Giuseppe Rossi. we need to have more young italians in the team IMO. The kid is doing very very good at Villareal and is a Milan fan!! Imagine him together with Pato with kaka behind them

And then we can fill in some open spots with for example Abate, Albertazzi, Di Gennaro... Depends on who's leaving.
(dida, Maldini, Favalli, Seedorf, Shevchenko should leave IMO.)

watch what u are sayin` because he might be reading posts on this forum,and knowing him we will end up with koller,with galliani sayin`:he is a true champion the player we badly needed since oliver bierhoff!!!!!

The kind of summer mercato I'd like to happen, I put the names of "new players" (you will understand why "") and explain why:

Firstly, we know, normally, that Maldini, Favalli and Senderos will retire/leave for our defense. We also, for most of us here, hope that Emerson will leave, as well as Shevchenko (I don't care if he is just loaned or if we bought him, he has no place here). Then it's my personal hope: Inzaghi retiring (not leaving, he stops or he stays here one more year).

- De Silvestri, why another RB ? To put Zambrotta on the left, we would have Mattioni and De Silvestri as RBs, two young players (but De Silvestri already has experience of Serie A), one Italian, one Brazilian, it's Milan !!

- A young LB, I really don't know who anyway ... someone able to replace if needed Zambrotta during the next season and then to take his place in the following ones.

- Bonera ... , with a new RB and a new LB, Bonera can be used in CB position each time he plays, and not once RB, once CB, once RB, once CB, ... that lets us with Nesta, Thiago Silva, Bonera and Kaladze there.

- Jankulovski ... with Zambrotta on the left and a new LB, Jakulovski can be used in his role, that means in midfield.

- Gourcuff ... , I won't say anything, there is a topic about him.

- Borriello ... , that would be nice to have him in our team ... because in my head, he's not a Milan player yet as we almost never saw him on the pitch !! I had the same feeling with Ronaldo ...

- Paloschi or another promising striker, why not a star like Eto'o ? Because we know that the formation used is often played with one striker only. So if we bring back Gourcuff without selling Seedorf and Ronaldinho, that means we will still play with only one striker. If I stop there, that looks stupid like idea not to bring someone like Eto'o, but the other reason joined is that our leading star in attack is Pato now, so, we don't need to have 2 leading stars in attack if we only use one. That can only gives problems (ego, lack of fitness and so loss of confidence, etc for one of them).

So, we would only have to pay for:
- De Silvestri
- the young LB
- Paloschi

We can include and try to use more often the young guys (especially for our defense because with all these midfielders, I don't know how a midfielder from our Primavera could play if he's not already a W-C player).

good point i did`t thought about that,but worse than that our genuis of a coach could just put in kalac in ,as we need badly a tall man infront,yeah offensive goalie no one can stop him!!!!!and declaration from him would be:
me and the love of my life clarence seedorf,yesterday after awesome sex at millanello we were sitting in the shade and saw kalac kicking the ball with his head and then we came up eith the solution of all our goalscoring problems,we agreed to bech pato,and to put kalac in starting lineup!!!!

If that means getting rid of $heva, I'm there.

I'm not sure that replacing a useless Sheva by Bierhoff and Koller is the right thing to do ...

heheh..anyway what the hell happened to shewa dude just died,i don`t get it,yes he had some rough time at chelsky but to drop like this,if someone told few years ago that this will happen to him i would call him crazy!!!!

Signa who ever you want and leave the coach and you'll have a chaotic and unorganized team like he have now. A team that relies on individual plays, and rarely plays with complete and strict game plan.

Maybe some people have forgotten how Cappelo's and Sacchi's Milan played. And now they think this is good.

carlo`s sacking would be like winning scudetto for me!!

how people get to say "SACK CARLO" in every post and get away with it - that i'll never know

it's an equivalent to flooding
