no, but if he doesn't wanna do it on his own, you and I can blind fold him, roll him up in a carpet or something and carry him out of Barcelona in the trunk of a minivan

back to Huntelaar

I am not saying that he is a bad player and I fully disagree that he is one ... in fact, he is a player in whom I saw that Pippo instinct for the goal at a level that no other player except Pippo and Trez, and maybe RvN, has put on show over the last 10 years probably.
IMO, Huntelaar has that same instinct and can turn into a really deadly weapon if properly taken care of ... this is why I said that should Gila be let go, Huntelaar is the one young target man I'd like to see replace the Italian.

What I've been trying to convince Jim was not that huntelaar is a bad, untalanted player but that he is not ready yet to carry the attack of a team like Milan on his shoulders and having two such players, who are also very similar in playing style, on the team - Gila is the other - is something we cannot afford to have, especially when we just paid 22 mil for Pato.
If Huntelaar was to come in, then Gila would have to go.

Meh, it's the same thing we've been hearing for the past 5-6 years. Interesting that article fails to mention some of the key reasons as to why we physically suffered so much last season.

Also, the apparently weak defence of last season was one of the best in Serie A (statistically), and that was with a number of players injured all through season (again, the reason is what the article fails to mention). In fact, our weakest area was in Midfield as we didn't have the stability we had in the past (Seedorf was a stable player in deeper midfield and we always had superior talent to Brocchi on the bench), and Emerson has been signed to toughen the area up.

I'm not getting my hopes up too much now on new signings. We could make the odd signing (including R10, especially as he's finally getting EU), but nothing is sure at all as far as i'm concerned.

I also think management see R99 and Oddo as new signings, as last season they had to assimilate very quickly into the side and never could perform at their best due to little preparation. This season, they're getting a proper preseason (despite R99 current injury), and so should be in top shape and properly settled for the upcoming season.

Just read an interesting story on football365.com about dynamo kyiv wanting to take back sheva for a loan. can't quite translate anything from their homepage. what a turn of events if that were to happen. i had read some comments from the ukraine national coach about how sheva couldn't even play the whole 90 minutes because he's been riding pine (or actually not even on it)-just seems sad how the fortunes of someone can change.
i'd like to see it happen.

Milan: pazza idea Huntelaar
23.08.2007 23.05 di Francesco Letizia articolo letto 4654 volte
Secondo il portale internazionale di calciomercato www.4-4-2.com, il Milan pensa a Klaas-Jan Huntelaar: l'attaccante, da tempo nel mirino anche di Juventus e Real, andrebbe a completare il reparto d'attacco rossonero, al momento un po' sguarnito con gli acciaccati Inzaghi e Ronaldo, il deludente Gilardino e il giovane Pato in arrivo solo a gennaio. Sul giovane attaccante di Drempf ci sarebbe una grande sponsorizzazione di Ruud Gullit, che lo sta promuovendo da mesi alla dirigenza rossonera con cui rimane sempre in ottimi rapporti.




milan is considering the dutch stinger or its just a rumor to make us sleep on the net ?

Exactly, Two similar strikers is two much a luxury. If pippo quits,we'd better go for power type(adriano etc) or wing type(quagliarella etc);unless there is super ones available.
