Better June than never!!

Hamsik would be a great addition, especially as Cigarini seems destined for Juve (or at least not us).

I don't hide the fact i dislike Seedorf, but why all the fuss about him? Our formation is 4-3-1-2 and we only changed to 4-3-2-1 because of injuries to strikers. The reason Seedorf doesn't want to go back to being part of the midfield 3 as opposed to a 'fantasista' is because he knows he can't hack it in that position, he doesn't have the mentality or the staminia to play there. He wants to be further up field doing the nice things and not wanting to track back or tackle.

And if i was being absolutely honest, i'd let him go in the summer along with Brocchi & Emerson and replace the 3 of them with Hamsik, Flamini & Lavezzi. Less egos, less wages, more desire.

Giorgos i would like to see Alves in our shirt too, but we won't buy him. He'll end up at Chelsea, Barca or Madrid.

Telling Jim about Seedorf is like telling me about Gila

I haven't really observed him but I keep hearing good things about a fullback named rafinha (bad spelling) Can anyone tell a poor trini milanista more about him thanks

Everyone is impressed by Hamsik, but the one that I really liked and have been liking more and more each time he plays is Walter Gargano. Such a good player that can be our new young DM (all four of our DMs are 30+).

You mean the guy who just got a red card yesterday?

Hahaha...but the Gila deserves the bad rap he gets. DRU...I'm similar to you... A Ronaldo Fan. He puts up the stats and still people like to hate on him.

Well haters where are you now!!!

I will agree that he has to take care of himself & stay healthy. But his contribution since he's been here when he has played, has earned him the right to be left alone, and not dragged over the coals due to his weight.

When he's on the pitch wearing the MILAN shirt he hasn't disappointed.

That guy really deserves more respect than what he gets.

He saves our asses & then still gets dumped on.

I don't think any player has been so good and still has been called in to question like Ronaldo. As long as he's pushing the ball in the back of the net...he must be kept & left alone.

Yes, it's him
Ok, he got a silly red yesterday but it takes nothing from his displays so far this season. He's still young (23) and he's a modern DMC who's very good both in defense and attack.
This summer he was offered to Juve and Fiorentina according to his agent, but they rejected him. I'm sure now they're not very happy about it.

It's very rare to see a DMC whose main job is defending the midfield and who's doing that pretty well, to do this in attack :

I agree completely about Gargano, the only reason i chose Flamini over him is because the latter is on a free transfer, or at least that's my understanding ... i may be wrong.

Gargano, Hamsik & Lavezzi ... not quite a Dutch trio, but a Neopolitan one at least

Mr Anonymous, it's hard for me to be objective about Seedorf when i dislike him. What i will say though is that for someone who commands the wages he gets and for him to say where he'll play and argue with the coach, i would expect a hell of alot more from him in terms of performances. The times i've seen him on tv he's been lazy, slow and poor in his distribution.

My dislike for him aside, just ask yourself this, can we replace him? Pirlo & Kaka we know are integeral to our team, is Seedorf as indispensable?

Carlo would cut his balls instead of dropping Seedorf. And i agree. He was the key for our success in CL.
I don't like him complaining about his role though.

in addition to what Gio said, also Kaka is really attached to seedorf, and i`m sure that dropping seedorf, will not make kaka happier. I`m sure that they are professionals and will find a way to deal with it,however I would not take risk on our biggest strength and reason for our recent success 'The Harmony" .

Talk about players complaining can really be overtalked many times. It is a thin line between complaining and "voicing a opinion". for sure I would voice my opinion if I thought I was played out of position and I am sure my manager would understand. Seedorf is a unique player, I wish we could get someone like him, but with more energy and legs that lasted whole games. his position is a tiring one and I feel he is not really ready to play it fully for 90 mins.

I think his only concern is that, playing as mid, he will spend the double in terms of energies and shine the half in creativity.
But the team comes first.

Ps. guys, when you rate players you have to consider not only the technical aspects but also the human one: Clarence is a big character, a player that build up team spirit, a great professional...That's why we keep our players for so long: they give us much in terms of balance and team spirit..look at great persons like Cafu, Serginho, Favalli, Costacurta (last year)...

I don't agree with Jim because you can't consider only the technical side..We achieved all that because we are more than a club. And surely dropping players that have made our history too easily would be a big mistake.

Consider this.
