Abbiati

Oddo Nesta Barzagli Jankulovski

Riquelme Pirlo Seedorf

Kaka

Pato Drogba

This team will never win a single trophy, as world class as it looks.
This is the Brasilian team from WC 2006. Actually, this is even worse. At least the Brasilians had Emerson or Gilberto Silva.
Teams like Barcelona, Liverpool, Inter etc will easily beat your team.

Milan need to start from the root of the problem - theres no point us wishing what players we want and totally changing the whole team as thats highly unlikely unless Berlu sells up or the President changes.

we need to invest more in youth, bring in more players from the youth set up and give them a chance or two. I feel our whole policy needs to be changed but the board think differently.

Todays reports suggest we are linked with Anelka, great player and doesn't sulk as much as he used to, its a shame really because if he ever held down his place in one club he could of made a big name for himself. I dont think he would do that badly in Milan, but I doubt Berlu will go for him.

Anelka in Milan...

We dont need Riquelme or 5 more dribblers that cant run, aldough Riqualme is a great player, we dont need him. Only if he would be a sub in Gourcuff's place, which will not happen.

We can solve our problems with getting few young hard players like Juve did with Molinaro, Nocerino...

Untill Jankulovski is our first LB schoice, a player that cant make any difference in 1 on 1 runs, and untill we dont have a decent forward that can play 30 games in a row, we will not play good football.

Last yar was ewxepctional as Kaka' played a season of his life, becdouse Pirlo was in outstanding form and so was Seedorf. But as soon one of the weels in our first 11 stopr running we shut down.

Europe is full of young available players, but money is obviously an object in Milan. Only in desperate situatiopns when they feel they got it wrong they spit 16 mln+Vogel on injured Oliveira or buy Pato who cant play right now. ( the frustrating thing is that Cesere Maldini said they almost bought Lavezzi, a forward that now plays for Napoli! )Those plans scare me. Now Anelka?? Come on... get real and buy some players, you cant play with 11 good players 65 games per season...

You guys know that Ballack is not cup-tied right... nor is Adriano

Anelka? Lord have mercy on us...

I'm dying to hear what will you do if you're Milan's owner/coach.

Will you write here what will be the starting XI of Milan and the bench players if you have the power to create Milan's team ?
Thanx

i think you are really underestimating anelka he is a fast and pacy forward which we lack he also has good dribling as well as good finishing skills like i said before that we should consider him as an option ...he proved himself while he was with arsenal as well as real madrid so he has played with bigger teams in europe...also he has played with not so big teams such as man city, fenerbache and bolton meaning he had to hold on his own ......here are some numbers career App. 325 total goals 198 ...not to mention 4 goals in 5 games for bolton this season so far ...he cud easily used in a 2 man upfront formation cuz he isnt a pure striker like gila and inzaghi but instead he wud compliment the other striker...i see him as a good buy

I will answer this, aldoutgh I wasnt asked to

4 spots need to be filled:

-----------------gk----------------
-oddo----nesta--kaladze--left back

-------------pirlo-------
-------gattuso---strong( if possible fast) midfielder "like Lampard"----
-------------kaka'-------------
-------pato----strong forward like Toni, Drogba---


With this and the players like Jankulovski, Seedorf, Gourcuff,Ambro, Emerson, Pippo, Ronaldo, Bonera, we would have great squad. This way we simply lack solutions.

Soon Drogba will leave Chelsea, the man simply said he wants to go and I dont see him staying. Then Lampard will also leave in summer. Rosina is one player that can play cover for Kaka', he is good and young player, doesnt matter if he is not famous like Robinho for example! France is full of young and fast midfielders that we lack: Ben Arfa, Nasri... Benzema is also a prospect for upfront.

We have enough of experienced players, ifg we buy some great young players that doesnt mean we will be unexperienced! At least 2 players we need in january: forward( in gila's place) and a fast midfielder. But im sure it will not happen.

GK=Frey
Oddo Nesta(Luisao) Bonera(Kala) Marek(Grosso)

Gattuso Pirlo/Ambro

Elano(Appiah) Kaka(Nasri) Daniel Carvalho(Gorky)

Pato(Palacio) Drogba(Toni)

I agree with your sugestion. I would add Elano, Daniel Carvalho, Nasri, Palacio and Luisao of Benfica.

at this rate, i would purchase a whole team, and start maybe 4 players on the milan team, kaka, oddo, nesta, and pirlo, and i guess gatusso, so 5 players. Any way the whole team needs to step up, but i can't complain too much, cuz i enjoy watching them slip further behind us.

Well this is probably unique opportunity for you, as this wasnt happening for the past 20 years. Milano siamo noi!

Be carefull when you arrange scudetto party in Milano, we might screw it up again! 23.5.2007...

Unique, if thats what you call it, then yes, it's a very UNIQUE oppurtunity, for something that didnt happen since last year. .

Anelka? Oh dear, and maybe we should have gotten Toni instead of Gila?
