Milan should have baught more young player of similar quality as P7 to blood them into the milan system and systematically phase out the old heads. Get young European centerbacks and south anerican attacking flair and instill Milan discipline in them. I only hope Carlo allow them to express themselves on the pitch and not be a shadow of his belief of how players shoud deport themselves in the milan shirt.

We do have faith, but he is right. We should not keep saying "our squad is fine, do not worry, we also have Pato coming in January". It is as if that Pato is the solution to our problems. He might indeed be a hit in his first year, but it is wrong to put all the responsibility on his shoulders so early.
Anyway we should now not look too far ahead till January, we need to take it game by game. Our team is in one of its worst forms since Ancelotti took over, so they need our support. Let's hope for a win later tonight. |

Hitmannq8, I'm not sure if this is the worst period. I guess the worst period is actually the year when Milan won the CL 02-03. Last year during this period it's pretty darn poor, too, and they attributed it to the scandal (though Milan actually won three games in a row at the beginning of the season). Anyway, if we continue to play awful this week, then I have to agree with you that Milan is in a crisis.

yeh, its not the worst, but its one of the worst. I cant remember a time where Milan couldn't manage to win in 5 games especially against mediocre opposition. Anyway I think we will win against Celtic and put in a real good performance.

this is a post that i must preface with the " i have only been following soccer for 5 yrs"
so i must compare pato's arrival to other sports: hockey: a lot of potentially great hockey goalies, have been purchased and utilized at a very young age. these kids, are not used to playing at the same level and lose confidence and either take a lot longer to reach their potential, or simply never make it. football: College quarterbacks entering the nfl are also thrown to lions frequently. They are all coming from top colleges where they excelled and held the weight of an entire city on their shoulders, played in front of 75000+ fans. But the big league's is something different. Every player is faster, stronger, smarter. How many qb's have come out of college a hero, and never made it, just because they were not groomed properly. I'm am not stating that pato shouldnt play, or is not going to be an instant success, however, i do believe, he needs to be handled gently. at 18 he needs to be put into situations where his opportunity for success greatly outweigh his chance for failure. And we as fans, should be extremely patient... my son is 16 and plays with 18yr olds...these BOYS can play soccer, but most of them havent drank a beer, owned a car, or even been with a woman yet? they are still consumed by pop music and video games. |

So instead of saying don't worry Pato is coming and setting him up for a POTENTIALLY huge fall. I wish management would take a more cautious approach when stating that the will be to play this up coming January. Purchase a new striker just in the off chance the kid doesn't perform the way we all know he most probably will in the near future. This way the kid won't feel too much pressure too soon, try too hard, and burn himself out. |

Donīt worry, guys...
Pato isnīt a normal 18yo...the kid is used to pressure and for to be the man in a BIG club in Brazil. Sure, Milan is even more BIG, but the ones asked to be the man in our club are Kaká, Pirlo, Ronaldo, Nesta , Rinno and P.M... BTW, nice article in Gazzetta Dello Sport(in Italian) about Pato, very nice read http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA.../10/pato.shtml |

Hopefullly Pato will be able to take pressure and play to our high standards. The kid is good, but he might get lost among the stars, such as Kaka, Nesta, Gattuso...
