Banter 2009/2010

Asking for Market thread to be closed so we can continue discussing likely subjects here - tactics, missed players, new players, youth etc.

Isnt there threads for all of those. Maybe this thread should just be renamed:

"Winter (non) Mercato 09-10"

With the players we have, I think that a 3-5-2 might actually work. Abate, Zambro, Antonini, and Janku can play the outside wingback-

-------------Storari---------------
------Bonera-Nesta-Silva---------
-Abate-Gattuso-Pirlo-Flamini-Zambro
------------Pato---Huntelaar-----

It just looks like a simple 4-4-2 ...

Milan might as well employ 3 defensive midfield players into the team if ronaldinho doesn't improve in the coming months, personally Milan would be better off using jankulovski or antonini rather than zambrotta as a midfield player. btw does anyone know who will be in this years primavera team i keep looking on the milan website and all i seem to see it last year primavera team.

I don't know about the players, all I know is that we have 4 or 5 players bought during this mercato for the Primavera (Zigoni, Berreta, Doni, and ... ?).

And it looks like the first two are the best players of this team.

I think vs big teams we need to play 4-4-2

Strength down the middle, pace and trickery on the wings.

Storari
Bonera Nesta Silva Zambrotta
Abate Flamini Pirlo Seedorf
Pato Huntelaar

Without the ball we can ask Pato to drop to rw, and have Abate push into the middle to give more battling qualities there.
Bonera shouldn't be used as an att rb, merely to cover when Silva who made some runs vs inert goes forward. Of course this requires good communication in team so either of Flamini or Abate could drop into rb to cover when Silva does go forward.

Barbini is another player milan have brought and compare i think we also purchased Verratti but he is 16 and has gone back on loan to his club i think doni is 16 as well he might not qualify for the primavera team.

Found this thing, it's all the players that have at some point been linked with us and who have not transferred, 152 players...

With a little effort, intelligent manage making and ambition by the board, now our current starting line-up could be the following:


------------------Abiatti--------------------------------
------Zambrotta - Nesta - Thiago Silva - Cissokho ----------
------------Gattuso - Flamini - Gourcuff--------------------
------------------- Diego ---------------------------------
---------------Pato - Huntelaar----------------------------


In short: alongside Kaká, we should have sold R80, Pirlo and Favalli.

My 'imaginary' formation was in fact a very realistic one, and is obviously a much better one that the formation we currently have...

the sad think is a lot of those players did move and we could have gotten them. i would have loved to get Amelia or Marchetti and a field player or two

But in that list, there are a lot of rumors totally build up by medias and also a lot of players that wouldn't be improvements of our team ...

Our strongest links were with Cissokho (more than a link actually), Kjaer, De Silvestri, Andre Santos, Hernanes, Beckham, Luis Fabiano and Dzeko. For most of the others of the list, for me, it's total BS from medias.

And depending on our problems from now to January, some player from that list could come anyway (who said Beckham and Hernanes ?! Actually, if you look at our team, they could be some solution to our midfield problem where only Flamini is, for moment, up to the task).

useless thread IMO
