No chance,..guys I warn you, this guy cannot be trusted. He's a real danger...

And Dida is what? We know the situation. Milan have failed to sign a proper goalkeeper and we have to pay the price with uncertainty.

well if he does it EVERY important match, when were the other times he did this?

what has he done in the past 3 years to be described as top? why cuz you decided so? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

he has experience in blunders, thats what he has.

And Dida can be trusted? Come on... it's not like he has any other problem it's uncertainty that made fans put him up for sale on ebay... even the easiest of crosses I fear he will somehow screw it and let the ball drop like he's done 5 or 6 times over the past 2 and a half seasons.

The Palermo match and some other matches with Perugia (against Inter maybe, I can't recall)...

he kept his sheet cleen for 3 matches now... !!! 9 points like that (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

So, Kalac has a 450 min. clean sheet record by now...!! I'm impressed, never guessed that he'll hold that long..

What's Dida's best?

kalac in fact has 472 minutes clean sheat...he got beaten last time against atalanta in 68minute...quite impressive (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) go zeljko (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) doesn't he look like mafia, sicilian maybe, or russian...he plays soccer undercover (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

hehe...to me too (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but wait till u see him in D&G clothes...u'll change your mind...

At the beginning of the 06-07 season, Dida kept a 446-minute scoreless streak, but nobody remembers that. Whether it's his longest, don't know.


The Atalanta game was 1/23, and we've played three matches since then. That makes 270 minutes.

I surprised there hasn't been much talk about Kalac lately. It's been a full 3 months since someone posted in this thread. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) It would be interesting to hear people's thoughts on our keepers, particularly the East European one.

Anyway, the honeymoon period for our keeper has ended, and he's unfortunately back to his usual self. In fact, Kalac vs Napoli toady was a shadow of the one he was at the start of the second half. He could very well have saved all three goals. Maybe it's the fact that Dida was on his tails then, and now his place in the starting XI is confirmed for the foreseeable future. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Having said that if Dida was in the post today he'd have been crucified. And that's an unbiased comment. Players like Dida and Gila are easy to make scapegoats of, maybe because of the fact that they keep quite and don't create waves in the dressing room or the media (Seedorf, anyone?). (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) But the fact remains that he's had it pretty easy ever since our Champions League matches against Arsenal - he was very lucky not to concede in the first one, and in my opinion, by the second leg he started degrading on all fronts. Before that he was pretty solid, even if I say so myself. The fact remains that we needed someone who'd step up and save us points and matches, and in the last few weeks Kalac has not been that man.

Irrespective of whether we signed a new number one this August, it would have been a much better idea to get the confidence of Dida up and played him when he was fit. The Brazilian was very solid for a couple of months after that infamous event in Scotland, but his Inter match ruined all the good work and confidence. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Maybe Kalac could have done with a short rest in between? Or maybe he's back to his normal self. But the fact remains that a part of blame must be shared by Kalac too, and surprisingly not many talk about his performance.

We do need a new keeper, yes? In my opinion we also need a low cost, solid number two. Someone younger. Because after all, the Croatian wonder Kalac (35) is an year older than Dida, and not getting any younger. What say you guys to spending a couple of millions for a younger number 2 to whoever starts for us between the posts next season? One that learns our system of play and be available when needed.

He's good as a sub in my opinion.

But is he the best sub we can get? Someone who consistently performs and saves points for us when our number one gets injured for longer periods of time? Honestly, I'm not very sure about that.

I'd much rather have a younger substitute than him. Someone more dependable.
